Dinner tonight was at a hidden gem tucked away in the heart of Kemang area. I tried one of their signatures: Mama’s Loco Butter Rice and wow, it did not disappoint! The butter rice was rich, fragrant, and packed with that comforting buttery flavor that melts in your mouth. It came with a perfectly cooked hamburger steak juicy, flavorful, and seared just right. Such a simple dish, but done so well. Definitely one of those comfort meals that makes you want to come back for more. Highly recommended!
A Hidden Gem Worth Discovering! Tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the main road, this place offers a peaceful and cozy dining experience. The ambience is calm and inviting — perfect for those who appreciate a quiet, relaxing spot. Parking is manageable despite the space not being huge, and it’s easy to park without stress. Now let’s talk about the food — generous portions, great presentation, and most importantly, delicious! You can tell the kitchen knows what they’re doing — every bite reflects real culinary skill. Another big plus: it’s not just for dining. The setup is work-friendly too — tables are well-spaced (no elbow bumping with strangers), making it ideal if you want to get some work done in a comfy environment. Totally satisfied to have found this place — definitely coming back. Highly recommended!
The place is a bit hidden in Kemang, but definitely worth finding. It has a cozy atmosphere with delicious home-style food. A perfect spot to hang out and have good conversations with friends. I personally love it.
food was nice, ambience even better. But there was slightly missed communication when I ordered breast chicken but they served me thighs instead bcs it was sold out without telling me
This is my first time visiting Plate Palate. I heard about this place from my friends and while scrolling through social media. I was looking forward to trying the Mama Loco Butter Rice, and it turned out to be my favorite dish here. Ever crave that comfy, homey food? This place really brings it to the table. I visited on the weekend, and luckily, it wasn’t crowded at all The food portion was just right for me, not too much and not too little. The beef patty was well cooked, and I really enjoyed it. The vibes were great too, urban yet still warm and homey for customers. I’m looking forward to coming back and trying more appetizers and desserts in the future. Good job and good luck to the team!
Instagram took me here. So the recap: Ordered 3 mains and 1 drink as follow - bonnie smoke chicken with butter rice (7/10) chicken was overcooked and dry. Sadly, there was hair in the rice. - asian style minced beef (9/10) - Mama loco (10/10) ENAK - spinach salad = 8/10 Gw pesen lychee tea = kurang enak 6/10 Portion wise = 8 Price = 10 murah Place = 7 (there are some renovation works, hopefully the new renovated will be better) Will i return to Plate Palate? YES
I LOVE all the food and the ambience at Plate & Palate! We were welcomed by their cat, Peanut, and the service was very friendly. I ordered the Bebek POP and kecombrang rice (their seasonal menu), which was so delicious. My boyfriend had the chicken butter rice. For us, it’s a solid 5/5! It felt like eating at someone’s home: the toilet was clean, the music wasn’t too loud, and the service was fast and friendly. Absolutely coming back for the homey food and cozy ambience!
