Gubuk Tahbok

Nestled in the heart of Cipayung, Depok, Gubuk Tahbok is a vibrant diner that masterfully captures the essence of Indonesian street food with a modern twist. This cozy spot is best known for its signature Ayam Tahbok—a dish that packs a bold punch of spicy flavor, leaving a delightful tingling heat that local diners affectionately describe as being "pukul" (knocked) by its fiery sambal.

Beyond its standout ayam tahbok, the menu offers crave-worthy comfort foods like seblak and cilok kuah, appealing for anyone looking to share casual bites in a relaxed setting. Ties Sutrisno’s praise for the spot as a great place to hang out underscores the diner’s welcoming, laid-back atmosphere—ideal for friends gathering over plates that deliver both warmth and zest.

Here, you’ll enjoy authentic flavors at street-food prices, making every visit a rewarding experience for both the palate and your wallet. Dede Indra Permana’s encouragement for them to keep evolving their increasingly trendy menu suggests Gubuk Tahbok’s vibrant and dynamic approach to Indonesian cuisine continues to win hearts.

The magic of Gubuk Tahbok lies not just in its bold and satisfying tastes but also in its community vibe—Mia Audina’s note about the perfectly tender chicken paired with “mantap” sambal truly captures the addictive nature of the food.
