Martabak Kirana in Seminyak is a culinary spot that has garnered attention for its unique take on the traditional Indonesian street food, martabak. Located at Jl. Plawa No.20, this establishment offers a cozy atmosphere that is perfect for both casual dining and takeout.

The standout menu items include the TB Original, Ayam S (2 eggs), and Sapi M (3 eggs). However, the reviews from patrons present a mixed bag of experiences. One visitor remarked simply, “Good man,” which suggests a level of satisfaction, albeit without elaboration.

On the other hand, some diners expressed disappointment. One review noted, “Too sweet, not savory enough. It would be better without the sweet taste. Traditionally, martabak should have a savory, slightly salty flavor.” This critique highlights a common expectation for martabak that may not have been met at Martabak Kirana.

Another customer who ordered through a delivery service shared their dissatisfaction, stating, “The sweet martabak with chocolate cheese and peanuts was terrible. The martabak dough had no flavor, only the chocolate and cheese helped. The egg martabak was salty and used shredded chicken instead of ground chicken, with too much green onion.” This feedback indicates that while the ingredients may be fresh, the execution may need refinement to align with traditional flavors.

Despite the mixed reviews, Martabak Kirana boasts impressive ratings: Food: 4.6/5.0, Service: 4.8/5.0, and Atmosphere: 5.0/5.0. The prices are reasonable, ranging from Rp25,000 to Rp50,000 per person, making it an accessible option for those looking to indulge in this beloved dish.

In conclusion, while Martabak Kirana has its strengths, particularly in service and atmosphere, it may need to revisit its flavor profiles to satisfy traditional martabak enthusiasts. For those willing to explore a modern twist on this classic dish, it could still be worth a visit.
