Best Street Food in Yogyakarta You Have to Try This Easter
Angkringan
Angkringan is more than just a food stall—it's a cultural icon in Yogyakarta. Typically set up on sidewalks or near busy intersections, these humble pushcarts serve a variety of affordable, homey dishes like nasi kucing (small rice portions with toppings), skewered snacks (sate), and sweet tea or kopi jos (coffee with a burning piece of charcoal dropped in).

Sate Klathak
Sate Klathak is a unique and beloved satay dish that originates from the Bantul area in Yogyakarta. Unlike the typical Indonesian sate, which is marinated and drenched in peanut or soy sauce, Sate Klathak is all about simplicity and boldness. Made from tender cuts of goat meat, it's seasoned only with salt and a hint of pepper—then grilled over charcoal using iron skewers instead of bamboo.

Soto is a beloved Indonesian soup, and in Yogyakarta, it comes with its distinct charm. Typically made with a light, aromatic broth—either chicken (soto ayam) or beef (soto daging)—this dish is packed with vermicelli noodles, shredded meat, bean sprouts, cabbage, and sometimes a boiled egg. It’s finished with a dash of lime, crispy shallots, and sambal for that perfect balance of fresh and savory.
