Under Rp 60k, you still get rice and chicken here
In Terminal 3 after security, Solaria is one of the few sit-down spots where a full plate of nasi goreng or ayam penyet still comes in around Rp 40k–60k, cheaper than most Western chains nearby. It’s a basic Indonesian chain restaurant, but domestic flyers keep coming back for familiar flavors and big portions before heading to gates in the domestic wing of T3.
The menu at this CGK T3 branch trims down the usual mall lineup and leans hard into staples: nasi goreng variants, ayam penyet, mie goreng, and simple noodle soups. Expect iced tea or bottled drinks in the Rp 10k–20k range, and mains that usually land under Rp 70k unless you start adding extras. If you want something predictable before a Lion Air or Garuda Indonesia domestic hop, this is it.
Service can slow to a crawl during the evening departure bank, roughly 18:00–21:00, when several reviewers report 20–30 minute waits and food arriving only slightly warm. Multiple Google reviews also mention tables not being wiped quickly, especially when a couple of widebody flights depart close together. If that timing matches your boarding pass, budget more time than you think.
Regulars who know Terminal 3 tend to keep it simple here: nasi goreng or ayam goreng with rice, nothing complicated, so it comes out faster. Indonesian-language reviews warn that chicken dishes sometimes run out later in the evening, after around 21:00, so have a backup like mie goreng ready if staff say ayam penyet is finished. Many locals skip Solaria entirely at peak times and grab packaged snacks from nearby minimarts instead.
Tip: If your gate is in the farther domestic pier of T3, order something quick like fried rice, cap your sit-down time at 25 minutes, then walk to the gate before your group starts lining up.
