"I'm a local guide and I visit this place for lunch. My customers alwalys happy and enjoy this place .
The restaurant's architecture is a testament to Javanese craftsmanship, featuring traditional Joglo-style buildings surrounded by lush greenery.
Sekar Kedhaton's menu showcases a variety of Indonesian dishes, with a focus on Javanese specialties. Signature dishes include Ayam Goreng Pandan (fried chicken marinated with pandan leaves), Bakmi Goreng Jawa (Javanese-style fried noodles), and Manggut Daging Sapi (spicy smoked beef). The portions are generous, ensuring that guests leave satisfied. For those interested in sampling a variety of flavors, the restaurant offers the "rijsttafel" service—a Dutch-inspired Indonesian feast featuring an array of small dishes such as grilled shrimp, beef satay, and papaya bunthil, providing a comprehensive taste of Javanese cuisine."

"Food was good, but they have a bunch of animals in small cages, even large animals like ostriches, deers, big birds. Some birds were attached to their places with metal chains. Too cruel, if you ask me."
Alex BR
"Agreed with other reviews that this is nothing more than a overpriced restaurant for tourists. The food is bland and the environment is a strange mix of Javanese and cages animals. Unfortunately, most tourists will only know about this after they have ordered and paid their bill."
