Best Food in Cimahi (2026)
Start your culinary journey at Soto Bandung Pak H. Adang on Jl. Jenderal Sudirman No. 12, a Cimahi institution since 1975. A bowl of their clear beef broth with tender meatβ¦ π Soto Bandung Legends
Start your culinary journey at Soto Bandung Pak H. Adang on Jl. Jenderal Sudirman No. 12, a Cimahi institution since 1975. A bowl of their clear beef broth with tender meat, daikon radish, and fried shallots costs around Rp 25,000 to Rp 35,000. They open daily from 7:00 AM to 4:00 PM, but arrive before noon because the best cuts sell out fast. Pair it with a plate of rice and crispy emping crackers for a complete meal.
π’ Street Food on Jl. Cimahi
In the evenings, Jl. Cimahi transforms into a bustling street food hub, especially near the Cimahi Market area. Look for Sate Maranggi Pak Ujang, where skewers of marinated beef are grilled over coconut shell charcoal and served with a tangy oncom sauce. Expect to pay around Rp 20,000 for five skewers, and they usually start grilling at 5:00 PM until midnight. Other stalls sell batagor, siomay, and fried bananas, so bring cash in small denominations.
π² Sundanese Rice Joints
For a true Sundanese feast, head to Warung Nasi Ibu Imas on Jl. Raya Cimahi No. 88. This humble eatery serves unlimited fresh vegetables, sambal terasi, and fried tempeh alongside your choice of grilled fish or chicken for about Rp 30,000 per person. It opens at 10:00 AM and closes around 9:00 PM, and the lunch rush peaks between noon and 1:30 PM. The fried gurame with sweet soy sauce is a must-try.
π Mie Ayam and Bakso
Cimahi has a strong noodle game, and Mie Ayam Bakso Pak Tono on Jl. Kolonel Masturi No. 45 is a local favorite. A bowl of springy noodles topped with minced chicken, mushrooms, and a side of bakso (meatballs) costs only Rp 15,000 to Rp 20,000. They are open from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM daily, and the broth is simmered fresh each morning. Add a dash of their homemade chili oil for an extra kick.
π’ Night Market Delights
The Cimahi Night Market, located along Jl. Pasar Atas, comes alive every Friday and Saturday from 6:00 PM to 11:00 PM. You can graze on everything from grilled corn (Rp 10,000) to chicken satay with peanut sauce (Rp 18,000 per portion). Don't miss the kue cubit (mini pancakes) stall near the entrance, where you can get a dozen for Rp 12,000. It's a great spot to sample multiple dishes in one go.
π° Sweet Treats and Desserts
For a cool finish, try Es Cendol Elizabeth on Jl. Jenderal H. Amir Machmud No. 10. Their signature cendol is made with fresh coconut milk, palm sugar, and green rice flour jelly, priced at Rp 12,000 per bowl. They open from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, and the queue can get long on weekend afternoons. Also look for pisang molen (stuffed fried banana) at nearby bakeries, selling for around Rp 5,000 each.
β Local Coffee and Hangouts
Cimahi's coffee scene is growing, and Kedai Kopi Kita on Jl. Cihanjuang No. 22 is a cozy spot for a post-meal break. A cup of robusta or arabica brewed with a traditional tubruk method costs Rp 10,000 to Rp 15,000, and they serve light snacks like pisang goreng. Open daily from 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM, it's popular with students and remote workers. Try the kopi susu gula aren for a sweet, creamy twist.
π‘ Practical Food Tips
Most street food stalls and small warungs in Cimahi operate on a cash-only basis, so carry small bills like Rp 5,000, Rp 10,000, and Rp 20,000. The best time to explore is between 7:00 AM and 9:00 AM for breakfast or after 5:00 PM for dinner, when the night markets and grilled skewer stalls are in full swing. If you're using public transport, angkot (minivans) from Cimahi Station will drop you near most major food streets for a flat fare of Rp 5,000. Tipping is not expected, but rounding up the bill is always appreciated.
Solid list, though I'd push back gently on one thing: Soto Bandung Pak H. Adang is good but the broth at Soto Bandung Pak Yusuf on Jl. Melong Raya is richer in my opinion, and it's less of a tourist stop. If you're doing the Jl. Cimahi evening crawl, go on a weekday because Friday and Saturday nights the parking situation near Pasar Atas is genuinely painful, angkot drivers won't even stop there after 7 PM. One thing the guide missed entirely is the morning bubur ayam carts around Alun-Alun Cimahi, they set up by 6 AM and sell out by 8, a bowl runs about Rp 12,000 with cakwe.
The guide covers the big names well, but I'd add that Cimahi's best eating is often tied to the pasar pagi cycle rather than fixed addresses. Pasar Antri Baros on Jl. Baros, around 5:30 to 9 AM, has lontong kari and kupat tahu stalls that only exist in that window, then vanish. A bowl runs Rp 10,000 to Rp 15,000 and the kupat tahu there beats anything you'll find at a permanent warung.
For the night market section, the guide doesn't mention that Jl. Pasar Atas gets genuinely gridlocked after 7 PM on those Friday and Saturday nights, so I usually park near Cimahi Station and walk the last stretch instead of trying to get an angkot through.
One small correction on timing for Mie Ayam Bakso Pak Tono: they close earlier than 8 PM on most days, closer to 6:30 or 7, because they sell out of the bakso. Going at 7:30 expecting a bowl is a gamble.
good rundown, i'd add one thing about timing that nobody mentioned yet. the soto places along sudirman are a breakfast scene, not lunch, locals eat soto bandung at like 7 or 8am with rice and it hits different when the broth is fresh off the pot. by 1pm its fine but not the same.
also for warung nasi ibu imas, go before 11.30 or after 2, the noon crush there is real especially on weekends when people come down from bandung. and if you want the gurame, order it when u sit down, they fry it to order and it takes 20 min
one miss: the pasar atas area has a decent kue cubit stall but the better one is a cart near the cimahi station side, sells out by 8pm most nights

π Day 1 Evening: Culinary Delights

The market is a 10-minute walk from Cimahi Station or a short ojek ride (Rp 10,000) from most central hotels. End the night at Warung Kopi Ake (Jl. Kolonel Masturi No. 88), open until 11:00 PM, for a relaxed atmosphere.
πΏ Day 2 Morning: Cimahi Nature
Begin day two at Cimahi Waterfall (Curug Cimahi) in the Cisarua area, about 30 minutes by car from central Cimahi. The entrance fee is Rp 20,000, and it opens at 7:00 AM. Wear comfortable shoes for the 300-step descent to the waterfall. From Cimahi Station, take angkot 02 to Cisarua (Rp 8,000) and then a short ojek ride (Rp 15,000) to the entrance. Bring a light jacket as the mist can be cool in the morning.
π Day 2 Afternoon: Local Eats
After the waterfall, have lunch at Saung Kabayan (Jl. Kolonel Masturi No. 210), a Sundanese restaurant with a garden setting. The nasi liwet with salted fish and fresh vegetables costs around Rp 45,000. It's open from 10:00 AM to 9:00 PM. Then visit the nearby Cimahi Agro Tourism (Jl. Cihanjuang No. 100) to pick strawberries (Rp 50,000 per kilogram) or just enjoy the cool air. A taxi from the waterfall to the restaurant takes about 15 minutes and costs Rp 30,000.
ποΈ Day 2 Evening: Shopping and Relaxation
Spend the late afternoon at Cimahi Mall (Jl. Jend. Sudirman No. 200), open until 10:00 PM. Check out local batik and handicraft shops on the second floor. For dinner, try the food court's mie kocok (Rp 25,000) or head to Sate Taichan Goreng Cimahi (Jl. Melong No. 15) for spicy grilled chicken skewers (Rp 35,000 per portion). From the mall, an angkot to Melong takes 10 minutes for Rp 5,000.
π Day 3 Morning: North Cimahi
On your final day, explore North Cimahi starting at Padasuka Market (Pasar Padasuka) on Jl. Padasuka, open from 5:00 AM. Try the traditional kue (cakes) like kue lapis and bolu for Rp 5,000 each. Then take angkot 03 to Cimahi North Terminal (Terminal Cimahi) in about 20 minutes for Rp 6,000. From there, walk to the nearby Taman Cimahi (Cimahi Park) on Jl. Raya Cimahi, a good spot for a morning stroll.
π¨ Day 3 Afternoon: Art and Departure
After lunch at Warung Nasi Ampera (Jl. Raya Cimahi No. 150), known for its ayam goreng (Rp 20,000), visit the Cimahi Batik Center (Jl. Cibabat No. 45) to see artisans at work and buy souvenirs. A batik shirt costs from Rp 150,000. The center is open from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. From there, it's a 15-minute angkot ride (Rp 5,000) back to Cimahi Station for your onward journey. Allow extra time during rush hour (4:00 PM to 6:00 PM) as traffic can be heavy.
solid writeup, the angkot details are actually right which is rare for these guides. one thing i'd add: the 300 steps down to Curug Cimahi are the easy part, coming back up will wreck you if you're not used to it, so go early before the heat hits. also fwiw the warung nasi around Pasar Atas open way earlier than 5pm for the daytime crowd, if you want sate maranggi without the night market chaos just go around 11am.
the itinerary's pretty thorough, but one thing it misses is that Cimahi is a military town so a lot of the good food spots are near the Pusdikar and Pusdikpal areas, not just the touristy streets. if you're there on a weekday around lunch the warteg near Jl. Gatot Subroto are packed with soldiers and the food is cheap and good, like 15k for a full plate. also the angkot 01 route is fine but honestly ojek apps work in Cimahi now so you dont have to deal with the h
A few corrections worth making before you commit to this plan. Museum Pusdikar has been closed for renovations for a while now, I'd call ahead before heading over because the hours listed online don't reflect the current situation. Also Curug Cimahi isn't actually in Cimahi proper, it's up in Cisarua which is Parongpong territory, so your angkot 02 from the station will drop you at Cimahi's northern edge and you'll need that ojek leg you mentioned, but budget more like 25,000 now since the road up has gotten worse and drivers charge accordingly.
The strawberry picking at Cihanjuang is seasonal, best around June to September, so depending on when you're visiting in 2026 you might just be walking through empty rows. If that happens, the tea plantations around Cisarua are a better bet and free to wander.
