| Summary | solariaresto.co.id zoominfo.com/c/solaria-restaurant/547046417 Solaria (founded 1991 in Cikarang by Aliuyanto, a UGM economics graduate) is one of Indonesia’s biggest family restaurant chains — 200+ outlets in 55 cities across 31 provinces, employing thousands of people. It serves affordable Asian-Indonesian comfort food (fried rice, noodles, kwetiau, chicken and seafood dishes) famous for huge “jumbo” portions at Rp23k–55k, targeting middle-class families and mall shoppers. Its key differentiator is that it is 100% company-owned under PT Sinar Solaria — no franchises at all — which keeps taste and service standards consistent nationwide. The company holds halal certification from both MUI and NU (recovering from a 2015 pork-enzyme scare in Balikpapan that was later disproven by DNA testing) and has won brand-protection lawsuits against copycat names.
