A large cozy restaurant with a strong Javanese atmosphere offering a traditional spicy savoury dish called "mangut" from freshwater fish, and the signature is beong fish (baung, Hemibagrus planiceps), an endemic fish at the nearby River Progo. Strategic location at Jl. Syailendra Raya in Wanurejo, Borobudur District, Magelang Regency, Central Java Province about 2.5 km from the world-famous Borobudur Temple. Customers can choose the beong mangut from the tail, the body or the head part. Nice dining huts, joglo halls and outdoor tables. They play non-stop recorded Javanese traditional gamelan music. Inexpensive. On my recent stop with my wife, we had a savory beong mangut (5/5), a hot pandan tea (4/5), a not so hot tapay drink (5/5) and crispy flour rambak chips (5/5). The savory fried stuffed tofu was perfect (5/5), but the blade fried banana was too soft and rather sticky (3/5). Clean toilets at the restaurant. A parking lot with a roof for motorbikes, and a vast open parking yard for cars and buses. There is a clean enough musholla (moslem prayer place) with urinoirs and washing places but it needs maintenance. Good free WiFi. Helpful security staff (they fetched us from the parking lot with a big umbrella because it was raining).

Actually the place itself was nice. Until i found a fly "swimming" in my Garang Asem. Suddenly lost my appetite, sorry to say, cleanliness need to be improved.

A comfortable restaurant with a varied and delicious menu. Prices are relatively cheap. Some parts are currently under renovation/construction

Nice place to celebrate your birthday. You can have your event full music and dance. The food is so so, not really special in taste. If you want to hold a meeting you have to make sure no other events are around because yours will be disturbed with loud noises.

The place is quite dirty, spiders and ants are everywhere! Some children (probably live there) playing around and shouting, really disturbing. The food taste is fine, although not that special.
