As I stepped into Depot Kohen, located at Jl. Kebo Iwa Selatan No. 151 A in Denpasar, Bali, I was immediately enveloped by the warm and inviting atmosphere of this charming eatery. The aroma of freshly cooked dishes wafted through the air, promising a delightful culinary experience. This place is not just a restaurant; it’s a gateway to understanding the rich culinary culture of Indonesia, particularly the flavors of Balikpapan.

The menu boasts a variety of local favorites, but I was particularly drawn to their signature dishes: Nasi Tim Ayam, Bubur Ayam, and the Nasi Kuning Khas Balikpapan (served with chicken and egg). Each dish is a testament to the culinary heritage of the region, and I was eager to dive in.

One of the highlights of my meal was the Bubur Ayam, a comforting chicken porridge that was both creamy and flavorful. The texture was spot on, and the addition of crispy shallots and a drizzle of soy sauce elevated it to another level. A fellow diner raved, “Simply marvellous local breakfast here! Love their Soto Banjar and Nasi Kuning too. Add a grilled chicken with it! You will love it!” This sentiment echoed my own experience, as I found myself savoring every bite.

The Nasi Kuning was another standout. Its vibrant yellow hue, derived from turmeric, was visually appealing and the taste was equally delightful. A local patron mentioned, “Their food is top quality!! Banjar Cuisine will satisfy your appetite!!” I couldn’t agree more; the flavors were rich and satisfying, making it a must-try for anyone visiting.

What truly sets Depot Kohen apart is the friendly service. The owners are welcoming and eager to share their culinary passion with guests. One reviewer noted, “Great and delicious home-cooked food! And the desserts! To die for!” I couldn’t resist trying their desserts, which were indeed a sweet ending to a fantastic meal.

As for the prices, they are incredibly reasonable, ranging from Rp25,000 to Rp50,000 per person. A fellow diner humorously remarked, “Price? Is overly cheap!! Hahaha.” It’s hard to believe that such high-quality food comes at such an affordable price!

Parking is ample, with options for both cars and bikes, making it convenient for visitors. The atmosphere is casual yet cozy, perfect for a laid-back breakfast or brunch. With a food rating of 5.0/5.0 and a service rating of 4.5/5.0, it’s clear that Depot Kohen is a beloved spot among locals and tourists alike.
