Authentic Indonesian food from Minang Kebau! This store has been here for a very very long time and the food has always been so good!!! I visited again in Aug 2026 and was surprised by the new, bright and extremely gleaming spaces. Now they hv an air conditioned space on level 2 but you will need to climb the stairs Else just take out! It will still be good!

I stopped by Rumah Makan Minang on Kandahar Street for my first Nasi Padang meal, and it left a really good impression. The dishes were satisfying and full of flavor, and I liked the relaxed atmosphere while dining in. I also ended up finishing the whole plate without much effort, which says a lot. I’d happily come back and try it again with family next time.

Nasi Padang (SGD $12) @ Rumah Makan Minang. . Founded in the early 1980s by Madam Zulbaidah Binte Marlian (youngest daughter of Haji Marlian Bin Athar "Bagindo Marlian" and Hajjah Rosemah Binte Mailu) and her husband Mohamad Zin Bin Harun, this heritage brand is probably the most successful in the Nasi Padang family business, with quality being managed consistently through a central kitchen, offering about 70 dishes daily. . Today, their children Mohamad Ariff Bin Mohamed Zin, Nur Syahidah Binte Mohamed Zin, and Mohamad Hazmi Bin Mohamad Zin, are taking their family business forward. Their core dishes are widely celebrated, and the buzzing communal dining ambience lends well for large groups and families.

Congratulations on the reopening of Minang House! Happy to be back here again. . Had some of the breakfast fare this time. Lontong and Gado gado, very good. Service wise is a bit slow so queue will take a while before it is your turn. Come early to get a table. Has 2nd floor seating as well.

I dined here for the first time and had a terrible experience 1. There was poor/ inconsistent service observed. After ordering my food, I was given a Table Number and was told that I would be served my rice and drinks as I was seated upstairs. However, my rice was never served and there was not a single staff on the second level for me to even approach. I ended up helping myself to the rice. (After helping myself to the rice, and being midway through my meal, a single staff member did actually serve rice to other tables. I completely understand that staff need breaks but if you committed that you would have rice service on level 2, someone should actually be on level 2 to stand in). Next, my drink was never served until mid way through the meal. I headed down and asked for it and it was passed to me lukewarm. Not sure how long it has been sitting there but if the crowd was indeed overwhelming, I am more than happy to collect it myself. Just don’t inform me that it would be served and end up giving such an unpleasant experience. 2. Service was incredibly inefficient. The long queue is not due to the quality of food. It is due to the extremely slow and inefficient staff manning the shop. The queue was messy and the entire process from ordering to payment to eating is unnecessarily complicated. 3. Of the 6 dishes I ordered, the sayur lodeh was undercooked. Every single vegetable in the dish was undercooked. The fried chicken was on the opposite end of the spectrum. It was completely overcooked, tough and dry. The sambal goreng was sweet and that was all it was. No other dimensions, no spice, nothing. Very disappointing standard of food. In summary, the service is inefficient and inconsistent. Food is mediocre at best. I feel sad as this shop is located where tourists would frequent. For all tourists looking at this, this is not even close to the standard of a good Nasi Padang. Spend your money elsewhere. Apologies, I did not take any photos of the food but…nothing spectacular anyway. TLDR: Food is mediocre, service is bad, not worth the queue, not worth your money.
