Ayam Bakar Riung Gunung: Legendary Sundanese Chicken Delight

Welcome to Ayam Bakar Riung Gunung, a cherished chicken restaurant located at Jl. Mohamad Hatta No.18, Nagarasari, Kec. Cipedes, Kab. Tasikmalaya, Jawa Barat. This culinary gem has been delighting guests with its authentic Sundanese flavors since its inception in 1979, making it a must-visit destination for both locals and visitors alike.

Stepping inside, you'll be enveloped by the warm, inviting atmosphere that celebrates traditional Indonesian culture. The restaurant exudes a timeless charm, with rustic wooden furnishings and a cozy layout perfect for family gatherings or a casual meal with friends. Whether you’re here for a quick bite or a leisurely dinner, Ayam Bakar Riung Gunung encourages you to savor your time as much as the food.

The star of the menu, as some loyal customers passionately describe, is the Ayam Bakar—a succulent grilled chicken that embodies the essence of authentic home grilling. The tender meat, marinated with rich local spices, delivers a symphony of flavors with every bite. Pair this with the Gepuk Daging Sapi—a delicately spiced beef dish that offers a delightful burst of taste that lingers in memory.

Vegetarians and adventurous eaters alike will find happiness in the Jengkol Balado, featuring jengkol (a popular Indonesian bean) spiced to perfection, complemented by the zesty Sambal Lalap. As customer Reyga Rivaldi aptly points out, a note of caution is advised with the equally enticing but fiery Sambal Goang; expect a heat level that may overwhelm but certainly adds excitement to your meal. What makes the experience feel authentic is the simplicity of the dishes—a true reflection of Sundanese traditions, aimed at bringing you comfort and nostalgic warmth.

Patrons rave about their experiences—customer Hendang “papih” Susanto claims to have tasted the food for the first time more than 30 years ago and still finds the flavors unchanged and exceptional. This consistency in taste has cultivated a dedicated following. Fajar Hardipradana celebrates the overall experience, emphasizing the restaurant's ability to capture the essence of Sundanese cuisine with its remarkable ambiance and incredible offerings.

If you’re searching for a culinary journey that not only pleases the palate but also embraces the heart and soul of Indonesian culture, Ayam Bakar Riung Gunung is your destination. Come rediscover the flavors that have made it legendary in Tasikmalaya—you might even find yourself returning time and again, just to relive those cherished moments and flavors that feel like home.

An old time favorite. A legendary culinary spot in Tasikmalaya. A must visit destination. Their best signature (in my opinion) are the Ayam Bakar, Gepuk Daging Sapi, Jengkol Balado and Sambal Lalap. Please do not mistake to order the Sambal Goang (which was super hot, and practically tasteless). I suggest to try should you haven’t visit, or return at least once in a while just to libe up the old memory. Childhood memory, family memory or else.

I tasted it for the first time on 1985, and now after more than 30 years the taste still the same. Amazing!!!
