If you’re in Bali and craving some delicious Padang food, you gotta check out Rumah Makan Sari Bundo Jaya in Sanur. Seriously, this place is a gem! The vibe is super chill, and the atmosphere gets a solid 5.0/5.0 from me. It’s clean, cozy, and perfect for a laid-back dinner or lunch.

Now, let’s talk about the food. They scored a 4.5/5.0, and I totally get why. The menu is packed with mouth-watering options, but you can’t go wrong with their Beef Rendang. It’s rich, tender, and just bursting with flavor. I also tried the Nasi Ayam Kare (Gulai) and Nasi Ikan Jangki, and wow, everything was fresh and delicious! One customer even said, “the food is tasty, and the prices are reasonable too.” Can’t argue with that!

Speaking of prices, you can enjoy a meal here for around Rp25,000-50,000 for dinner and Rp100,000-125,000 for lunch. Super affordable for the quality you get! Plus, there’s plenty of parking available, and it’s free, which is a huge plus in Bali.

What I really loved is that this place is open 24 hours! Perfect for late-night cravings or if you just landed in Bali like I did. One visitor mentioned, “the place was clean and quiet. Lovely customer service and delicious food.” I had the Nasi Rendang with iced black tea, and it was sweet and fragrant. Total win!

Some folks have pointed out that the vegetable options are a bit limited, mainly just cassava leaves, but honestly, the flavors of the main dishes more than make up for it. Plus, the staff is super friendly and always ready to help. One reviewer said, “the staff is always kind,” and I couldn’t agree more!

Overall, if you’re looking for a great Padang restaurant in Bali, Rumah Makan Sari Bundo Jaya is definitely worth a visit. I can’t wait to come back next time I’m in Bali!
