This modest yet cherished eatery on Jl. Yosodipuro invites you to indulge in a time-honored recipe, where every bowl steeps in rich, savory broth infused with traditional spices, delivering a delightful harmony of flavors that feels both nostalgic and invigorating.
The star of the menu is undoubtedly the Nasi Soto Daging Sapi, pairing hearty steamed rice with tender slices of slow-cooked beef submerged in a clear, aromatic soup that balances depth and lightness perfectly. Expanding your flavor journey, the restaurant presents an enticing array of side dishes such as Empal, Kisi (beef cartilage), Koyor (beef tendon), and Lidah (beef tongue), all skillfully prepared to complement the soto. Guests frequently rave about the beef kisi, especially when substituted for sliced beef, praised for its gratifying texture and enriched taste.
For those seeking additional layers of flavor, crispy accompaniments like Paru Goreng (fried beef lung), Babat (beef tripe), or even humble yet flavorful items such as Tahu Isi (stuffed tofu), bergedel (potato fritters), and tempeh broaden the meal’s spectrum. The tempeh here stands out for its distinct regional character — a testament to the sincerity of local ingredients and culinary craftsmanship. Pair your meal with refreshing iced beverages like Es Jeruk (iced orange), Es Teh (iced tea), or the subtly sweet Es Sirup to round off your dining experience.
