Taste so good! either its really good or I was very hungry, can’t tell However the staff were late in placing the many dishes on our tables. I was halfway eating my rice. Would have picked some other foods too if I has known they have other dishes.

EXTREMLY OVERPRICED, don’t go. I paid more than 80000 for white rice, a ridiculously tiny portion of beef redang that was hard and not tasty at all and a tea that was too sweet.

Padang Merdeka is one of the best places to enjoy authentic Minang food in Jakarta. Located on Jalan Lada, right in the middle of the Kota Tua area, this restaurant offers not only delicious dishes but also a cozy and beautifully designed space that celebrates Indonesian culture. The food is top-notch! The rendang is incredibly tender and flavorful, and the ayam pop, dendeng balado, and sambal ijo were all amazing. I ate their new menu Iga Bakar but unfortunately, the meat was quite tough and not as tender as expected. You can really taste the richness of the spices in every bite. Portions are generous and everything is served fresh. The service is excellent—staff are friendly and helpful, especially if you’re not familiar with all the dishes. It’s a great place to bring friends or tourists who want to try traditional Indonesian food in a clean, comfy, and Instagram-worthy setting. Highly recommended if you're exploring Kota Tua or just craving some good Padang food!

We, family of four, eat a lot and finished the major dishes with thanks to hospitality and the services...and of course the tasteful minang food. The place is near to the Jakarta Museum and Fatahillah square. After spinning around the museum and surrounding places, you should completed your journey to this restaurant. The aircon running well, the cleanlines ok and the staff serving you good. The only minus point at the time we ate, is the extra loud music comes from outside of the restaurant. It was extra loud and annoyed..

This Padang restaurant is excellent. They serve in the traditional multi-plate style, with each dish sealed, and you only pay for what you eat. It's a great spot to escape the busy crowds of Kota Tua, relax, and recharge.
