Gudeg Mbok Lindu

Queuing for ages under strong sun, even though not many people in front of us. There’s only one lady serving the food. Food was quite disappointed maybe because it’s not to our taste but it tastes better than the restaurant nearby. Price is very reasonable.

This legendary gudeg restaurant in Yogyakarta is a must-visit for both tourists and locals alike. Located conveniently near Malioboro Street, it’s easy to find and well worth the early wake-up. Despite opening at 6 AM, the queue starts forming even earlier — I arrived at 5:50 AM and still had to wait around 30 minutes. That alone speaks volumes about its popularity and the loyal following it has built over the years. The menu offers a variety of traditional options, including bacem, ayam suwir, pindang, and many other flavorful dishes that perfectly capture the essence of Javanese cuisine. For those dining in, they generously serve free hot tea, which pairs wonderfully with the rich, sweet-savory taste of the gudeg. Whether you’re starting your day with a hearty local breakfast or simply want to experience authentic Jogja flavors, this iconic spot delivers in both taste and atmosphere.

By far my favorite Gudeg in Yogyakarta. Tasted a bit hotter and spicier compare to other similar gudeg. And to locals, they said this Mbo Lindu is most favorable to them. Though seating was limited to aound ten peoples inside, you may also eat outside but with cars and motorcycles passing of course. Open at 6am (meaning open to queue), as they truly open to serve at around 0630-0645. Thus, expect heavy queue. But they serve very fast, that you won’t have to wait for long.

If you want to taste their Gudeg you need to come very early in the morning because she has lots of customers and the lines are kind of long but worth it! I ordered the Gudeg with Shredded Chicken and Eggs taste so good! Not too sweet but just right. Affordable price also!

Best Gudeg in Jogja so far. I barely like Indonesian food but I love this. Highly recommended! Come early in the morning or you have to see a long line like I did. fyi, I arrived at 8 am... wow!

Legit, authentic, and pleasing gudeg around the Malioboro St. There were some lines at the breakfast time, but the seller’s quick enough to serve the customers. The price is pretty average among any other gudeg place. They also serve free hot tea and it was good enough.

First time I Tried this gudeg was 5 years ago and still as good. The only Gudeg I can enjoy because is not as sweet as other gudeg , damn the KRECEK is amazing, i never liked KRECEK before GUDEG MBAH LINDU, and the ladies are friendly. Now available Frozen Gudeg you can bring home. Must Eat This Legendary Gudeg.

first timer review. arrived at 5.50 and already queued around 8people. served at 6.10am. portion is fulfilling, I ordered gudeg with thigh (paha atas). gudeg is smokey and nice, krecek is dried type so it's a bit hard to cut, chicken very tender. overall I like it for IDR 40k. be careful when parkir, illegally local charge us IDR10k for only 20mins🙄
