Garuda restaurant was founded on 9 October 1976 at Jalan Pemuda No. 20 in Medan. This subsequently became the location of the first Garuda restaurant, as well as its head office. The restaurant was first known as “Rumah Makan dan Bufet Garuda”.
Garuda restaurant offers Minang and Malay-inspired food. It was first founded as a response to a survey that indicated the lack of Minang and Malay food restaurants in Medan. This led to the set up of the first Garuda restaurant in 1976. The company’s expansion continues until today, as evident in the establishment of the many franchised operations under the Garuda brand.
