The short answer
Dapur Dahapati: what visitors should know first
Go for oxtail soup in an older house setting, if you eat beef. It is not for vegetarians, and we saw no menu, so confirm what is served and the opening hours before travelling.

Why it matters
Why Dapur Dahapati is worth your time
A restaurant in an older Dutch-style house gives a view of Bandung's colonial streets that a mall cannot, and oxtail soup is a dish many Indonesian visitors seek out on a trip. Two independent pages name Dapur Dahapati, so it is among the more widely recommended places for it.
The flip side is that beef is the point of the menu. Vegetarians and travellers who avoid beef will find little here, so use the vegetarian listings in this guide. For those who do eat beef and want a calm, sit-down meal, it is a gentle, unhurried option.

How to experience it
Sop buntut is oxtail soup, and Dapur Dahapati is named for it by both Will Fly for Food and City Nomads. The first also lists a fried version, sop buntut goreng. City Nomads says the soup comes with gado-gado and steamed rice and describes the building as a classic Dutch house.
Order the soup and, if you want something lighter, share a plate of gado-gado, but check how it is made if you avoid egg or shrimp crackers. We did not see the menu, so ask what the portion sizes are and whether the soup is mild enough for older relatives; oxtail soup is usually eaten hot with rice.
Cipaganti sits north of the city centre, so use a taxi or ride-hailing service rather than walking from Braga. The City Nomads article dates from 2018, so confirm the restaurant is open at the same address before you set out.
