Why it matters
Why Martabak Canada is worth your time
Martabak is one of the most common evening street snacks in Indonesia, and a stall near the station makes it easy to try. The sweet kind in particular is a shareable dessert for a family.
It matters to travellers with dietary rules mainly as a reminder to ask about egg, which is a frequent ingredient in the batter and savoury fillings. Because it opens in the evening and sits near the station, it also works as a last-night treat for a family catching an early train, with the box eaten back at the hotel in comfort.

How to experience it
Wikivoyage lists Martabak Canada on Jalan Kebon Kawung, about 100 metres from the main railway station, selling sweet and salty martabak daily from 17:00 to midnight. Martabak is a griddled stuffed pancake: the sweet kind is thick and filled with toppings, the salty kind holds a savoury filling.
We did not see a menu, so we cannot list fillings. Savoury martabak is often made with egg, and sweet versions can use egg in the batter; ask before ordering if you avoid it.
Because it opens only in the evening and sits near the station, it suits an arrival or a late supper. A cut box travels well, so older travellers can take it back to the room rather than standing at the stall.
Plan with confidence
Small checks that make a better meal.
- Ask whether egg is in the batter or filling
- Go after 5 pm
- Take a box back to the hotel if seating is poor
- Confirm the stall is open
