Why everyone keeps coming back.

RM Khas Rarang offers an authentic taste of Indonesian cuisine right in the heart of East Lombok Regency. Specializing in local Lombok flavors, this restaurant has won the hearts of both locals and visitors with its expertly crafted dishes that celebrate the region’s rich culinary traditions.

One of the standout dishes, as praised by regulars like Ade Firmansah, is the special fried chicken served with a side of chili sauce mixed with chopped raw shallots—a vibrant combination that perfectly balances heat and freshness. The spicy fried chicken options bring a satisfying kick without overwhelming the palate, showcasing the careful mastery of spice known in Lombok cuisine. Vegetables and sides like spinach and fried soybeans add earthiness and texture, rounding out a meal that is both hearty and flavorful.

Novita Ratna Primantari highlights the unique peanut sauce and vegetable offerings, pointing to a well-considered menu that extends beyond just fiery dishes to include nuanced, complex flavors. Saidah Humairo’s first visit left her impressed by the spicy Rarang chicken—a dish with just enough spice to awaken the senses without overpowering, accompanied by a sauce that defies expectations by avoiding bitterness and instead delivering a distinct, rich taste.

The dining atmosphere strikes a comfortable balance between casual and spacious, noted by guests like Saidah, who appreciated the ample seating and the availability of larger indoor spaces, providing an inviting environment for families or groups. While the location may require a bit of navigation to discover the most recommended dishes, the culinary journey is well worth the effort. Even visitors passing through, such as FWPN en route from Khayangan Port to Mataram, find it a convenient stop to experience local flavors.

For anyone wanting to immerse themselves in the tastes of Lombok, RM Khas Rarang stands as a flavorful beacon. Whether you’re craving the exploratory notes of spicy chicken or the comforting familiarity of peanut sauce with fresh vegetables, this eatery delivers a memorable and satisfying dining experience that resonates with the heart of Indonesian cuisine.

First timer visitor here! And I love rarang chicken. It is spicy but I still can bear the spices. Usually if you have this sauce, it will a bit bitter but this one different. When we arrived there at around 2pm, plenty of seats available. They also has places inside which may have bigger space I have no chance to check, too bad. Honestly it is a bit confusing to find which one the most recommended chicken rarang in the area, because all of the restaurant named RM. KHAS RARANG, but finally we decided to pick one with more reviews located rightly before the gas station. Firstly I saw some local people seems enjoy the food, and we follow them. The food is okay, I mean it great! But I just hard to find the uniqueness taste on this menu. My brain only record the menu as spicey chicken with oily sauces. Still worth to try! They also sold the chicken in can, so you can have as souvenirs. Prices are moderate to high, I spend for almost 100k for two people with two glass of sweet tea. This area is located quite far from the city center, only recommended if you came accross this place from else where. If you only have sometime in Lombok, I would say it is not recommended to visit. All in all, it is a great menu! Try it at least once, its delicious!

This was my first visit to RM Khas Rangrang Lombok, despite having traveled to Lombok several times before. The flavors are quite distinctive—a bold combination of sweet, spicy, and savory that feels characteristic of local cuisine. The chicken was particularly enjoyable, well-seasoned and satisfying. As for the vegetables, they leaned more toward the salty side and were relatively straightforward in taste. Prices are reasonable and affordable, making it an easy option for those looking to explore local flavors without excess. Overall, a pleasant introduction to a well-known local spot, and one worth trying for a taste of Lombok’s culinary character.
