Hands down the best ayam gepuk in town! I’ve never tasted any ayam gepuk restaurant that is as good as this restaurant! The chicken is always hot and crispy and the food serves the tummy well all the time there is something different about their cabbage that they use that taste so sweet and crunchy. I have eaten here with my family many times and I would still bring them here to enjoy the best ayam gepuk ever!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you’re looking for a place that serves flavour-packed chicken with the perfect kick of spice, Ayam Gepuk Express Taman Melawati is a must-try! The ayam gepuk here is crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and smashed with just the right amount of sambal that will wake up your taste buds. What I love most is that you can adjust the spiciness to your liking – from mild heat to full-on fiery! The portion is generous, served with warm rice, fresh cucumber, and crunchy tempeh – making it a complete and satisfying meal. On top of that, the prices are super reasonable for the quality you get, and the service is friendly and welcoming. You can really feel the effort they put into their food. Definitely one of the best spots for ayam gepuk in town. Highly recommended if you love bold flavours and authentic Indonesian taste!

As an Indonesian, I can agree with the positive reviews, this was one of the best ayam gepuk spots in town. Even the chicken itself without the sambal is enough to make me crave for more. Not to mention the portion was plentiful! The sambal and peanut sauce was balanced and delicious, I kept asking for more and they gladly gave me more, the staff was friendly and helpful too. Will definitely come back again. Sedap gilerrrr

One of the best ayam gepuk places I've been to! The chicken was freshly fried, good ratio for sambal and kacang (I don't eat too spicy so level 1 was perfect), and the tempe is cut into bigger blocks and is soft (which is better imo compared to the thin and crispy ones). There's also fish options which are a good alternative for those who don't prefer chicken. The shop atmosphere is nice, there's soft music playing in the background, it's air-conditioned, and the area is clean. All the staff were friendly, and the boss was especially nice to all customers (and quite easy on the eyes hehe). Definitely would recommend!

Pretty good place for ayam gepuk. They've got 3 levels of spiciness for the sambal. I went for the 2nd level, which is a lot milder than most other places. Not a bad thing, personally. The store is rather small, so it's more of a "come in, get your food and go home" type of restaurant. All in all, if you've never tried ayam gepuk, this is a good place to start. The heat from the sambal won't burn your tongue off.
