About This Place

Welcome to the culinary oasis known as Bakso Idaman, located in the heart of Tarakan, Kalimantan Utara. This charming restaurant on Jl. RE Martadinata beckons food lovers with its promise of an unforgettable meatball experience. Specializing in bakso—an Indonesian culinary staple—Bakso Idaman has quickly garnered a loyal following, and for good reason.

When stepping into Bakso Idaman, you're greeted with the warm aromas of simmering broth and freshly prepared meatballs. Customers rave about the unique texture of the bakso here, often described as "kenyal," which translates to a delightful chewiness that enhances each bite. Syuhada, one satisfied patron, remarked on the meatballs’ delightful combination of tenderness and richness they enjoyed from the added tetelan—the flavorful bits of fatty meat that elevate the dish beyond the ordinary. This resonates with the coziness and comfort that a plate of bakso should offer.

While Bakso Idaman maintains a menu that reflects standard offerings found throughout Indonesia, it stands out due to its dedication to quality and flavor. Boby Aly also highlighted that although the menu may appear familiar, the taste is indeed exceptional. The chefs here blend tradition with a hint of innovation, ensuring each bowl is crafted with care without breaking the bank, as prices remain accessible for the everyday diner.

The atmosphere is casual yet inviting, making it the perfect spot for families, friends, or anyone craving authentic Indonesian comfort food. So, if you find yourself in Tarakan, do not miss the opportunity to indulge in bakso that speaks volumes through its simplicity and essence.
