Garuda
Additional Information
Garuda is a restaurant chain that originated in the North Sumatran capital of Medan and has spread throughout Indonesia, including Jakarta, for its delicious fusion of Minang and Malay cooking. But, at its core, Garuda is still an authentic Padang restaurant chain.
The most famous Garuda chain in Indonesia is located in Pondok Indah, the restaurant being a rather upscale establishment in the wealthy neighborhood. The restaurant’s manager is a friendly bloke who often strikes up conversations with customers (especially if you’re of Minang descent), and likes to suggest dishes you’ve never tried before, so you’d be wise to listen to him.
