Sindang Reret has been one of the steadier names in Bandung Sundanese cuisine since the 1970s, with several branches around the city. The format is straightforward: order gurame goreng (fried carp), nasi liwet, a plate of fresh lalapan (raw vegetables with sambal), and sayur asam tamarind vegetable soup, and let the table fill up.
The Jalan Surapati branch in central Bandung is the most convenient for visitors; the bigger flagship at Ciwidey is worth the detour if you are heading south to Kawah Putih. Reliable and inexpensive — the kind of place locals take out-of-town family for a proper meal.
