Ini Restoran Minang Fav keluarga sejak thn 1993. Kalau ke Prapat pasti selalu makan disini.. Ayam Pop nya JUARAAA!!! Semua menu lauknya enak enak banget.. Kari Kambingnya, Ikan asin pari nya, cumi dan udang sambelnyaa.. semuanya enak. Harga standard daerah wisata, worthy banget. I also recommend this place for foreigners who come visiting Toba lake. The owner’s son and daughters of this place can speak English and Japanese. So don’t worry, they’ll get your order correctly! Just try, and you’ll addicted to their authentic Indonesian Food taste.

Padang style restaurant where all the food have been precooked and displayed. However, they would reheat / refry if you would request. Also made to order nasi goreng that my son ordered. Food a bit in higher side, but typical of this kind of restaurant. 5 of us costs 250k
