One of the best Indonesian traditional cuisine, and the best mandailing resto i've ever tried. It offers various signature menus from Mandailing, North Sumatera, i.e. lontong medan, toge panyawangan, chili fish, coconut sauce (gulai), etc. It's also a good place to hang out with friends.
Now its name is Cafe Roda Tiga and honestly I prefer with the previous name. The ambience was change, previous more cozy, now its like kedai kopi (local coffee shop) in Sumatera Utara. Talking about food, still similar, gulai ikan sale and fried chilli ikan sale, still have same taste also daun ubi tumbuk and Pepes ikan mas, everything keeps their own taste.
The F&B are good,the menu is very variative but with good quality each,clean place including their pray room and toilets,good service too.. Becomes one of my fav places to spent a couple hours @my breakingtime..
Daun ubi tumbuk & ikan sale always my fave!! Ikan mas asam bawang & toge penyabungan taste sooo good
Great place for Indonesian cuisines and coffee. Very spacious with a high flexibility for a meeting setup while lunching. The staff is superb, too. This resto is not located on the busy, noisy main street, yet quite near to the main street. Highly recommended.
Located in the south this place provide a nice ambience. Serving Batak's culinary. If you love coffee you should try the Mandheling Coffee. Awesome taste and aroma!
