Assalamu'alaikum my stemian friends. Here are my story..
On my way back from the city, the rain suddenly poured down heavily, turning the road into a curtain of water. The weather grew colder, and my body began to feel tired after the long trip. At the same time, my stomach gently reminded me that it was almost time to break the fast. Instead of pushing through the rain, I decided to stop for a while at a restaurant owned by an old friend of mine, a fellow table tennis player. What started as a simple stop to avoid the rain turned into a warm and memorable iftar moment.

As soon as I stepped inside, I felt a comforting atmosphere. The place was simple but spacious, with neat seating arrangements and bright red tones that made the room feel lively and welcoming. The warmth of the room was a pleasant contrast to the cold rain outside. In front, a long food display showcased a wide variety of dishes that immediately caught my attention.

This restaurant offers a complete selection of traditional Acehnese cuisine. The choices were impressive: goat curry, duck curry, grilled fish, grilled chicken, fish gulai, Aceh noodles, chicken rendang, dendeng, spicy shrimp, stir-fried water spinach, and green chili fish. For anyone who loves Acehnese food, this place feels like a small paradise where almost every favorite dish can be found in one spot.

Among all the dishes, the goat curry stood out the most. The thick, rich gravy was full of aromatic spices, and the meat was tender and flavorful. It was the perfect dish to enjoy during a rainy evening, especially for breaking the fast. Paired with warm rice and sambal, the taste was deeply satisfying and comforting. It felt like home-cooked food made with honesty and care.

The walls were decorated with pictures of the menu, making it easier for customers to choose their meals. The service was quick and friendly, and despite the growing number of customers approaching maghrib time, everything remained well organized.
Here’s a sample menu table with estimated mid-range prices. Rate: 1 STEEM = Rp 1,007.96

Dine in

Customers who choose to dine in can enjoy their meals comfortably at the restaurant. The seating area is clean, spacious, and suitable for families or friends who want to relax while enjoying a variety of Acehnese dishes served fresh from the display counter.
I happened to come in the late afternoon, so the place was quite calm. However, during lunchtime or dinner time, this restaurant is usually very crowded with customers.

Take away

For those who prefer take away, they can simply select their favorite side dishes and bring them home. This option is very practical, especially for customers who want to enjoy the food at home without waiting. Prices start from IDR 15,000, making it affordable and convenient for everyone.
