Gudeg Pawon

Came back after a little over 10 years, they changed the "krecek" cause the last time they had smaller cuts. Taste doesn't change though, I like it so much! One of my favorites gudeg in Jogja. The used to open at 10 pm, and now they open earlier. Price for nasi gudeg sambal krecek and chicken with one bottled water cost only around IDR 36k. I like the very late night vibe though, cause Jogja during midnight is cold and it was so comfy when I entered the "pawon," cause the charcoal was still on fire. Will comeback with my husband! ☺️

You should come here really hungry because the portions are quite large. The flavor of the gudeg and krecek is rich and deeply infused. The stall opens at 5:30 p.m. Don’t be surprised by the price — for a small home-style eatery, it’s quite pricey 😬

If you want an authentic Javanese culinary experience, then this is a must go. Gudeg is so well known as Jogja traditional food, made of young, unripe jackfruit cooked with coconut milk gives you a distinct and unique flavor. Some people associate it to be similar with a very tender beef. You can view the old kitchen they use to make this meal, nothing fancy, no aircon not even waiters 😊 but to see the uncle put gudeg, krecek, chicken/meat, egg and all the ingredients to your plate and hand over to your hand directly, well.... that's something very personal, folks 😍 I don't have to comment on the taste, it's 11 out of 10 for sure! And still... Quite affordable, this place got my 100% recommendation ; you will not only got the delicious meal but cool experience 🤩

Lucky when we arrived only 2 people queue. When we about to pay, lining up to the door. About 15people. Gudeg not too sweet. Ayam is chewy and nice. The kerecek is spicy and salty. For those who like salty version will like this. The ibu2 is super friendly. Just eat first and pay later. It looks like they dont write it down our order.( 5 of us) but apparently they have a book written all of the order.

Gudeg Pawon Selera Nusantara is an essential destination for those seeking an authentic Yogyakarta culinary experience at night. This spot offers the rare and memorable opportunity to dine directly in the kitchen, immersing visitors in a traditional and lively atmosphere. The food is not only flavorful but also enhanced by the unique "pawon" (live kitchen) concept. Perfect for those eager to savor authentic gudeg, it's best to arrive early to avoid long queues. Highly recommended dishes include the spicy krecek, bursting with rich and savory flavors, the tender and well-seasoned kampung chicken opor, and the tempe bacem, which perfectly rounds out the meal.

Finally back again after 19 years ago for the first time eating here.As far as I remember, the kitchen hasn't changed much, only the access road to here is wider and brighter. There are no long queues like before, also the opening hours are earlier due to the Covid-19 pandemic, there is a rule that prohibits activities not to exceed 9 pm.What I like about the gudeg here is that the gori is not too sweet, wet and the sauce is thin.The opor chicken is tender with a savory sauce and the krecek is soft with large pieces. If you want it spicy, you can ask for cayenne pepper in the krecek sauce and then eat it with the side dishes. Ah, this Pawon gudeg is so delicious, I recommend it!Besides, it reminds me of the nostalgia of the old days when I ate with my ex-girlfriend who is now my wife.. Hehehehe..

Went here before opening hours and second later tons of people came and start to filled up the place. the place is not really big, and we eat wherever we want. the taste is good, the price is pretty high and the portion is normal.

[+++] Such a unique experience when you could enter the traditional kitchen of the gudeg and witness it directly [++] I prefer this kind of gudeg where the sweetness is mild and yet also has decent spiciness from the krecek [+] The price is super affordable for a domestic tourist like me
