Jasmine

Mandalawangi Oseng Daging, located on Jl. Teuku Umar Barat No.15, has garnered attention for its authentic Indonesian cuisine, particularly its fried chicken and sambal bawang goreng. The restaurant boasts a commendable food rating of 4.7 out of 5, which speaks volumes about the quality of its offerings.

One visitor noted, “This place is famous because on TikTok people said the chicken is delicious, especially the fried onion sauce/sambal bawang goreng. Because I was curious, I tried it… The first time I tried it was really good; the chicken was tender, and the price was not expensive. Unfortunately, they were very stingy in terms of giving sambal. Even though I always spent more than 25,000, why do they give so little sambal? Even if you want more, you have to buy extra sambal.” This sentiment highlights a common complaint regarding portion sizes, particularly the sambal, which is essential to the dining experience at Mandalawangi.

Another diner remarked, “The food is good, but the fried duck is so oily and the smells aren’t clean. The signature sambal/sauce is delicious, a type of fried onion sambal.” This review suggests that while the sambal is a standout feature, some dishes may require attention to preparation and presentation.

On a more positive note, a satisfied customer shared, “Really great and authentic Indonesian food with a lot of sambal (spices). But the portions are very small, so keep that in mind.” This indicates that while the flavors are on point, diners should be prepared for smaller serving sizes.

One visitor reminisced about home cooking, stating, “Stopped by because it looked like my mom’s kitchen. Well spent cheating day! My first time trying their Oseng Daging and crispy tofu. Tastes like home cooking actually. The level of spiciness is mid, and their Kuah Kuning is so good. I can’t wait until my next cheating day to eat their Bebek Goreng!” This review encapsulates the comforting, home-style essence of the food, which many patrons seem to appreciate.

In terms of service, the restaurant has a rating of 4.3 out of 5, though some customers have reported issues with order accuracy, particularly regarding sambal requests. The atmosphere, rated at 3.7 out of 5, suggests a casual dining experience, perfect for those looking to enjoy a hearty meal without the frills.

Overall, Mandalawangi Oseng Daging offers a delightful taste of Indonesian cuisine, with standout dishes like Tempe Penyet and Fried Chicken. However, potential diners should be aware of the portion sizes and the need to request additional sambal if desired. With prices ranging from Rp25,000 to Rp75,000 per person, it remains an affordable option for those craving authentic flavors.
