This was our first time visited Lotek Mahmud, their place was located in small alley, we need to park our car outside the alley and walk around 2 minutes to reach destination. The place was really humble but the foods were packed with flavors. We tried Nasi Bakmoy also Lotek, both of them really good, we even did a repeat order via Grabfood.

Really like the gado-gado, nasi rames, and tahu gejrot For the tahu, u should order from the stall outside the resto Even though there are many tables, u still need to wait since many customers come to enjoy the delicious food The waitresses are friendly & fast

Apparently this place is a legendary restaurant. It was very crowded when we arrived. And many online orders waiting for pick-up. It was very famous for Lotek, Nasi Bakmoy, and Nasi Rames. We also tries Bakut Sayur Asin. Eating there has a chaotic feel, a lot of shouting amongs the servers for orders and requests, but we quite enjoyed it, adding to the embience.

You simply cannot be disappointed with their food here, anything that you order is great. In this visit, i ordered nasi Lengko, Tahu gejrot and es cincau. And enjoys all of them... I've tried their other menus too and never got disappointed

Decent price, decent portion, and tastes good. At 2 Sep 2023, I tried "Nasi Bakmoy" and "Nasi Rames", both tastes good. Services were satisfying. The place was quite big, clean, and comfortable. Overall, good place to eat Indonesian food with your friends or family. Last visit on: 14 June 2025, 12:50 WIB. Number of visits: 2 times.

Gado-gado at its best. Vegetables are fresh and perfectly blanched (not watery), tofu is firm and delicious. Highly recommended. Place is not air conditioned and is very busy/noisy. It can be warm during the day. (Car) parking is very limited.

To die for Nasi Bakmoy( this is the authentic pork version, i usually order mine without the rice in it because i will get the nasi rames as well) and do ask them for the soup to be heated extra hot* as in temperature wise* so minta extra panas! And extra kuah! Dont forget to order the tahu gejrot from the hawker in front of the gate ( the vendor doesnt belong to the restaurant but he is willing to serve your order of the tofu inside the resto)
