Hey there! If you’re ever in Mataram, Lombok, you gotta check out AYAM SQUARE. Seriously, this place is a hidden gem! Located on Jl. Gunung Tambora, it’s super easy to find, and trust me, you won’t regret it.

First off, let’s talk about the food. They’ve got a solid rating of 4.7/5.0, and I can totally see why. I ordered a few dishes like Nasi Goreng Ayam, Nila Goreng, and Ayam Kota Rempah, and everything was just delicious! One of the reviews I read said, “It’s super tasty, I’ve never been disappointed with the flavor.” I mean, who wouldn’t want to eat food that makes you feel that way? The chef definitely deserves some love for their amazing cooking!

The service? Oh man, it’s a perfect 5.0/5.0! The staff is super friendly and helpful. I even read a review from someone who got a recommendation from a bartender at Living Asia Resort, and they were blown away by how quickly their food came out, even during a busy dinner rush. They said it only took about 15 minutes, which is pretty impressive! Plus, the place was clean, and they even checked if all orders were served. Talk about attention to detail!

The atmosphere is also a solid 5.0/5.0. It’s cozy and has a nice vibe, perfect for a chill dinner. Just a heads up, parking can be a bit tricky since it’s in a food court complex, so if you can, ride a motorcycle to make it easier.

Oh, and if you’re planning a special event, like a birthday party, I read that the admin is super accommodating. One person mentioned how they booked the place for their daughter’s birthday, and the staff helped them with everything, from food orders to decorations. Sounds like a great spot for celebrations!

Overall, AYAM SQUARE is definitely a place I’d come back to if I’m in Mataram again. Good food, great service, and a lovely atmosphere make it a must-visit!
