Ganthari Grilled Chicken begins with single stall in Jl. Mahakam intersection, in front of SMA 6 (6 High School), near Blok M Plaza, Kebayoran Baru, Jakarta Selatan. Now it grows very big, with a size of several block stall plus a big tent in the front street.
About the taste, it’s undoubtable. Every night Ganthari is very full of visitor. The chicken is very tasty… tender, sweet, and yummy. Perfect with the sweet n hot sambel (chilly sauce).
Ganthari’s atmosphere is very enjoyable. Far from there we can smell the grill smoke, it’s very good. Street musician keep coming here, from small band style, country style, traditional style, until the plain guitar singer. When the owner sometime come to restaurant, he always yelling at stubborn street musician, that make visitor annoyed because they have to wash their hand to put out some money each time new musician come. You know, in some Indonesian food, including Ganthari, people love to eat with bare hand. Off course you can ask for spoon and fork if you don’t want to eat with your hand. Other unique view is the waiter walking around with many plates in their hand, Padang Restaurant style, but with medhok (Javanese) accent. Because the owner and most of employee is came from Malang, East Java.
When I first eat Ganthari grilled chicken, I was surprised. My God, the taste is very good. How come grilled chicken so delicious like this. At that time, the stall is still very small. You have to queue to get a seat. Until now, even the restaurant is much bigger, sometimes you have to wait to get a seat, especially in dinner time.
Beside chicken, Ganthari has other menus, such as grilled tempe-tofu, grilled ribs, and ribs soup. In my opinion, the grilled ribs is not to special. The taste is very similar with the chicken. But the ribs soup is tasted very good. The soup is fresh and yummy.
Now Ganthari has many branch, in Gandaria, in Cikajang, and many more.
