Love the taste of the rendang. The best one so far. You just need $14.90 to buy 2 choices with fresh meal ready everyday. Which is a very good deal. You will always get free rendang soup and sambal for extra when you buy the meal. Good vibes good services I love to come here than their branch in the city. The best place for eating rendanggg 🔥🔥🔥

Medan Ciak is a must-visit for anyone who loves authentic Indonesian food. The flavours are bold and rich, and the portions are generous. I highly recommend Beef Rendang and Nasi Padang. The staff are friendly and welcoming, and the casual atmosphere makes it perfect for both dine-in and takeaway. Excellent value and very homestyle!

The food was okay. The Sayur Lodeh tasted more like Thai curry. The dishes were oily, and the food wasn’t served hot.

There is no cure for the deliciousness of foods here. I grew up in Sumatra and I admit that even their foods can be much better than foods I ate there. I believe it's not only about authentic recipe and fresh ingredients, but also love they include in their cooking. I could feel happy after finishing my meal. I love every parts of meal that I taste.
