Classic nasi padang restaurant. Been around more than 20 years and the taste as well as the authenticity of nasi padang here is definitely undoubtedly one of the best in Batam.

This actually one of my favorite RM Padang in Batam. Laat time here some 4-5years back they still serving gajebo & their gajebo is amazing. apparently there was no more gajebo since couple years back. nevertheless, the rest of the food is very nice. If you come in a group better get the dish be laid on the table (hidang) & you can use their aircon room.

IMO...on any branch of the restaurant...the dishes taste different to one another...maybe they aren't cooked in the similar kitchen
