"Rendang made by Mrs May has its own characteristic style. She uses the famous 'coconut' beef, the part of meat that comes from the upper hamstrings. Also, her signature Rendang is quite spicy, and this makes it even more delicious."

"Oh my God, the spices are perfectly balanced to give my palate the sweet, salty, umami, and spicy taste that I didn’t expect. This would have been straight 10/10 if the beef were more tender. But, the flavours redeemed the texture and easily become one of my favourite Rendang dishes."

Sakinah Ummu Haniy

"They have the best rendang in Jakarta and Indonesia, at least according to competitions held in 2012 and 2013."

"But while there are many other Padang restaurants in the area, none enjoy the popularity that Si May has. That is because Si May holds no punches with its use of chili peppers and other spices, making this restaurant a perfect place for veteran heat seekers."

Fitri Haryanti Harsono

"Nothing can match the taste of Rendang. And the best place for Rendang in Jakarta is Simay. It's simply the most delicious."
