1. Mie Razali

Reviewed By Garona
Went for an evening meal during Ramadan, just at the end of fasting. Place was rammed and we waited 30min for a table: it's quite a small place. Ordered BBQ grilled chicken and chicken teriyaki. Both came with a small portion of chips and were excellent.
Shortly after the shutters came down and the lights went off. No chance of a coffee then? They couldn't wait to shut the place.

Thoroughly enjoyed the meal here. The place was busy, but we were still ordering quickly , having been waited on quickly too. The drinks were beautiful, as was the entree. I ordered guacamole and chicken pizza. They were both lovely, and plentiufl. Absolutley deligfhtful flavour, well priced and definitely worth going back to. Way to go La Piazza. You;ll have me back again.
3. Banda Seafood

Great fish, right next to the ferry terminal. Bring a phrase book or translation program on your cellphone, because the choices are endless and no English in sight.
Use hand gestures to pick out a fish; they weigh it; you tell them how you want it done (somehow); pick out your drinks. Then you find yourself a table in the giant shed.
The fish eventually materializes and tastes fresh and fantastic.
Full dinner cost around $10 a person.
Separate party rooms available. Caution: mens room has place for washing up prior to daily prayers; regular facilities further down a hall.

Food is great, specially if you haven't eaten Italian food for a while. They have homemade pasta and gnocchi.
Taste wise the food was awsome, but could improve on their presentation.
The place is great with a nice tranquil beach and a great house reef.
Don't forget to order the tiramisu!

With many specific menu such as fried n saute oyster, chip fish 'kemama', sour n chili soup 'asam keeng', catch up chicken 'ayam tangkap', meat n shrimp curry and more you can taste the real culinary from aceh with reasonable price. Well, there are many other resto in banda aceh with specific menu, but the complete one not so many, an aceh specific the one of its.
6. Ayam Bakar Wong Solo
Overall Ratings

Reviewed By ALR0609 - Kuantan, Malaysia
Ayam bakar wong solo is a chain of restaurants found all over Indonesia, and there are also chains in neighbouring Malaysia and Singapore.
The entrepreneur who started this business is Puspo Wardoyo who was initially from Solo, Jawa Tengah (hence the name 'solo'). He then moved to Medan to start his chicken restaurant business, which did very well leading to the franchise today.
Ayam bakar is barbecued/grilled chicken served with white rice, sambal (ground chillies) and garnished with a slice of cucumber, a slice of egg plant and a piece of tahu (tofu). The secret is in the way the chicken is prepared - the chicken is tender and tasty. The sambal is so-so, but because the chicken is already tasty, who cares about the sambal?
If you do not want the barbecue chicken, you have a choice of fried chicken or ayam penyet. Or if you dont like chicken (then why go to wong solo in the first place?), you can have pecel lele (fried catfish) instead.
If the chicken isnt enough, you can add on other dishes. I would suggest the sambal tempe with ikan bilis. Very hot but yummy!
For drinks, there are the usual range of fruit juices and teas. I tried jus poligami - a fruit punch of mango, papaya and orange. You can tell the name is a bit tongue in cheek as the owner, puspo wardoyo is famed for having several wives!
A must try if you are in Indonesia.
7. Mama Mia's Restaurant and Bungalows

I've stayed here a few times over the years and have always loved the accommodation. The bungalows that overlook the water have spectacular views. They are basic but clean and well presented. I reckon it's the best place on the island if you're looking for quiet, beautiful and laidback.
The range of dishes is average by restaurant standards, but the food's tasty and filling. Whilst Mama is always friendly and welcoming.
8. Warung Makan Hasan 3, Cabang Kreung Cut
Overall Ratings
4 based on 23 reviews
Reviewed By Lsaml K - Jakarta, Indonesia
Warung Makan Hasan is a small local chain restaurant that sells Acehnese commoners' dishes.
I myself are not fan of Acehnese food, so I probably am a bit biased on this. Its "signature" dish, ayam tangkap, is fried chicken that is fried until very dry, it losses its moisture. I went to various places thinking that there could be someone who cook ayam tangkap differently (and tastier), but found nothing. The chicken is just very dry. However, the tea here is decent, with sort of pineapple or jackfruit flavor.
The dining area is spacious. It has a couple of huts next to the dining area, suitable for large-group dining. Price is reasonable.
9. Dee Dee's Kitchen

This is a great little restaurant/cafe. Perched on the beach it has friendly staff, relaxed atmosphere, good views and great food. Dee Dee' s makes its own flat breads which are delicious - there is a range of western and local offerings. Owner Pak Lukman can also arrange local boat tours.
