Ayam Goreng Pemuda Surabaya - Ahmad Dahlan

Located in the heart of Gandaria Utara, Ayam Goreng Pemuda Surabaya - Ahmad Dahlan brings the beloved flavors of Surabaya’s traditional fried chicken right to Jakarta. Specializing in authentic ayam goreng (fried chicken), this cozy and humble restaurant offers a delightful culinary journey that captures the essence of East Java’s comfort food.

The star of the menu is undoubtedly their signature fried chicken, famous for its unique preparation method where the chicken is first pressure-cooked (presto) before frying.

But the experience doesn’t stop at chicken. The restaurant’s diverse menu includes other fried delicacies, from crunchy tahu susu (milk tofu) to savory bebek goreng (fried duck), as glowing reviewer Laurentia Jessica shares: “Bebek nya enakkkk banget. Ga bau. Pas rasanya.” Accompanied by rich, aromatic sambal bawang (chili shallot sauce) and flavorful urap (vegetable salad with grated coconut), the dishes evoke a celebration of traditional Indonesian flavors at their finest.

The dining atmosphere at Ayam Goreng Pemuda Surabaya feels refreshingly genuine—clean, straightforward, and unpretentious, reminiscent of old-school fried chicken establishments that focus purely on delivering great taste. While the space is modest and parking can be a slight hassle, regulars like Alexander Santosa appreciate the intimate setting paired with bold, memorable flavors: “small restaurant in Gandaria area. delicious taste… The chili is very delicious. Surely will be back.”
