Ria Ayam Penyet

  • Restaurant
  • Casual dining

In a city of fusions and modern twists, RIA stands as a sanctuary for those seeking the authentic richness of Indonesian street food. Established in 1998 in East Java, their story began with a humble family mission: to serve the food they grew up with. Today, they remain driven by the same recipes handed down through generations.

Their menu is your new weekly essential, featuring the legendary family-recipe ayam penyet with sambals, chicken satay and nasi goreng that taste like the aroma of late night markets. Experience the slow-cooked fork-tender beef rendang or the complete journey of a minangkabau curry platter.

For their Indonesian family, they are a taste of home. For the curious local, they are a soulful introduction to the real Indonesia.
