I can provide an overview of Mecca Fried Chicken in Indonesia based on available information, as I don’t have direct access to customer reviews or personal experiences. Here’s a summary of what stands out about this fast-food chain:
Mecca Fried Chicken is a halal fast-food restaurant that opened its first branch in Jakarta Barat at Ruko Sastra Graha, Kebon Jeruk, on February 5, 2025.
It emphasizes quality fried chicken with a humanitarian mission, donating Rp 1,000 per piece sold to support Palestine, which has resonated with many customers. During its soft opening, it raised Rp 150 million for this cause.
The menu features crispy fried chicken as the star, priced between Rp 6,000 and Rp 60,000, alongside unique sides like nasi mandhi (Middle Eastern-style rice), kebab, and Indonesian-inspired desserts like durian ice cream.
This fusion of Western, Middle Eastern, and local flavors sets it apart from typical fast-food joints.
A food vlogger, Mamank Kuliner, reviewed their Berkah Mandhi (Rp 37,000), which includes fried chicken, nasi mandhi, pickles, and sambal bawang.
He also tried their French fries (Rp 25,000). While specific taste opinions vary, the vlogger noted the chain’s charitable angle as a big draw.
The restaurant markets itself as family-friendly, with a clean, halal-certified operation and plans to expand to six more locations in Jabodetabek without franchising to maintain quality.
On the flip side, some might argue the fried chicken itself isn’t drastically different from competitors, as the CEO admitted the distinction lies more in the sides and mission.
Without widespread customer feedback, it’s hard to gauge consistency or service quality, but the early buzz seems positive, especially for those prioritizing halal and socially conscious dining.
If you’d like, I can search for more recent posts or reviews on X to get a broader sense of public sentiment—let me know! Have you tried it yourself or heard anything specific you want me to dig into?
