Very lovely and tasty pork ribs in spicy honey and Nasi Ayam Petutu. The meat was succulent, well-marinated and cooked to perfection. Just the right texture with every bite bursting with flavors. It was a tantalizing treat and experience for the senses. The staff was attentive and kept checking on us. The wait time was short. A wonderful dining experience well worth the visit. Highly recommended!

Had a really good meal at Pondok Madu. The ribs were super tasty and definitely worth the price. Excellent service from the waiter who kept checking in very friendly! The mashed potatoes could be better (a bit dry), but overall, we were happy with the food. Definitely coming back for the ribs!
