They provide all I needed that day, in the morning sandwich and omlette. For Lunch Nasi Goreng and Mie Goreng. Fast preparation of food. For breakfast I suggest Nasi Goreng. Sandwich tastes good but doesnt make full. All food was delicious

Conveniently located right outside of the sanctuary. The food was very delicious. Prices were reasonable (slightly higher than elsewhere but not out of the ordinary). There are not many reviews because the place was marked as forever closed on google maps. Definitely great quality. If you are very lucky, there could be an orang utan right outside while eating (however this is most likely a rare occasion).
