The Goods Diner Surabaya (Review)

Have you been noticing that Bali street nowadays is getting even more packed and jammed up all the time? If you haven’t crossing that road recently, well you kinda should! Not for the traffic, of course! But because back on February 12th, they just launched a new opening restaurant that has been around in Jakarta for several years now and I was one of the lucky ones that got invited a couple of days before the opening to try some of their menus which I’m going to share with you all today 🙂

The Goods Diner Surabaya, as I said above is a brand that’s originally from Jakarta, and it is a part of The Goods Dept. I honestly didn’t know about any of it before this, so I don’t actually have much thing to say about it as well. All I know is that The Goods Dept is a lifestyle brand that sells fashion items from head to toe, and they are expanding the brand by creating The Goods Diner for the restaurant, The Goods Cafe, for the cafe and just last night, they also soft launched The Goods Supply!

As far as I know, The Goods Diner Surabaya is the first The Goods Dept brand that opens outside Jakarta (CMIIW), and they picked Bali Street, in the center of Surabaya to be the place they’d run the business. It is a really busy street, and it’s already packed since The Carnivor opened a few months back, and now, the street got jammed up after The Goods Diner launched their soft opening. I drive pass the street almost everyday since I work part time at Common Grounds, so this is from what I know.

The Goods Diner Surabaya has a pretty huge space, size wise, it’s more like Domicile exclude the VIP Room. In front, they have a small section for The Goods Dept store, but when I came there, it’s still closed. The dining area can fit to a hundred people inside, but I couldn’t cover every part of the dining area because some of them were still covered with plastic. Nonetheless, the interior design is like a diner with a touch of bright soft colour, which is nice.

Before I get into the food section, I would like to apologize to you guys because when I went to The Goods Diner, I was completely in a rush. I just finished a job in Tutto Bono in the morning, I arrived at The Goods Diner at 12.30 PM and I had to be in Common Grounds at 01.30 PM for my part time barista job. So to be real honest, I didn’t actually eat anything here, I only took pictures of the place and the foods, then I rushed to Common Grounds.
