So, let me take you on a little culinary adventure to Bakso Pak Majid, a hidden gem located at Jl. Adi Sucipto No.2 in Mataram, Indonesia. Now, if you’re wondering what Bakso is, it’s basically meatballs on steroids—delicious, juicy, and packed with flavor! And trust me, you’re going to want to try them all!

First off, the place is pretty comfy, with a parking spot big enough to host a small car rally. Seriously, I thought I was at a car show instead of a restaurant! The service? Fast enough to make you think they have a secret stash of energy drinks in the back. I barely had time to check my phone before my food arrived. And the prices? Let’s just say my wallet didn’t cry—only about Rp25,000-50,000 per person. That’s like, less than a fancy coffee in some places!

Now, let’s talk about the food. I went for the Bakso Biasa, Bakso Urat, and the Bakso Beranak Biasa. The first bite was like a flavor explosion in my mouth! The Bakso Biasa was so good, I almost proposed to it. The Urat had this delightful texture that made me feel like I was eating a cloud of meat. And the Bakso Beranak? Let’s just say it’s like a meatball that decided to have a family reunion—big, bold, and ready to party!

But here’s the kicker: the atmosphere was relaxed, and the place was packed with locals. You know what they say, “When in Rome, eat like the Romans!” Or in this case, when in Mataram, eat like the locals! It’s always a good sign when the locals are flocking to a place like moths to a flame.

However, I did encounter a little hiccup. The tables looked clean, but I think they might have been auditioning for a sticky table contest. I mean, I love a good broth as much as the next person, but I don’t want to feel like I’m wrestling with it just to enjoy my meal. So, a little tip for the staff: maybe give those tables a good scrub after each meal? Just a thought!

Overall, Bakso Pak Majid is a must-visit if you’re in the area. With a food rating of 4.8/5.0 and service at 4.7/5.0, it’s safe to say they’re doing something right. Just remember to bring a napkin for your hands and maybe a bib for your shirt—things could get messy in the best way possible!

If you’re ever in Mataram, you gotta check out Bakso Pak Majid! This place is a total gem for meatball lovers. Seriously, the food here is rated 4.8 out of 5, and I can totally see why. The Bakso Biasa, Bakso Urat, and Bakso Beranak Biasa are all super delicious. I mean, who doesn’t love a good meatball, right? One customer even said, “I thought it would be just okay, but it turned out to be amazing!”

The service is also pretty solid, with a rating of 4.7. The staff is friendly and quick, which is always a plus when you’re hungry. Just a heads up, though—if you’re planning to visit during Ramadan, be prepared for a long wait. One reviewer mentioned that it gets super crowded and fully reserved during that time. But hey, if you’re craving street food in a restaurant vibe, this place hits the spot!

The atmosphere is chill, rated at 4.0, making it a nice spot to hang out with friends or family. Plus, there’s plenty of parking available, so you won’t have to stress about finding a spot. The prices are also super affordable, ranging from Rp25,000 to Rp50,000 per person, which is a steal for such tasty food!

One thing to note is that while the meatballs are a hit, some folks mentioned that the original soup (kuah) isn’t their favorite. But don’t let that stop you! The ‘es teler’ dessert is a must-try, and many customers rave about it. One person said, “The food is good, but it takes a bit of time to prepare the bakso, which can be a mood killer.” But honestly, the wait is worth it for those meatballs!

Overall, Bakso Pak Majid is a strategic and comfortable place to grab a meal. With all the positive vibes and delicious food, I can definitely see myself coming back here whenever I’m in Mataram. So, if you’re in the area, don’t miss out on this spot!
