As I stepped into Rumah Makan Khas Bali Mertha Yoga, located on the bustling Jl. I Gusti Jelantik Gosa in Mataram, I was immediately enveloped by the warm and inviting atmosphere. The aroma of spices and grilled pork wafted through the air, promising a culinary adventure that would tantalize my taste buds. This little gem is a must-visit for anyone looking to dive deep into the rich culinary culture of Bali, right in the heart of Lombok.

The menu here is a celebration of Balinese flavors, with the Nasi Campur Babi Kecap taking center stage. This dish is a delightful mix of rice, succulent pork, and a medley of spices that dance on your palate. One visitor raved, “It’s different from Balinese babi guling, but oh man, this is so so good. All the sate are good and succulent.” And I couldn’t agree more! The pork satay, grilled to perfection, was juicy and packed with flavor, making it a highlight of my meal.

For just Rp25,000, you can indulge in a generous portion of Nasi Campur, which is not only affordable but also incredibly satisfying. One reviewer mentioned, “Best nasi campur bali at downtown of lombok… A lot of skewer, from pork belly, lilit, and you are lucky if you can eat their special pork ribs skewer.” I was indeed lucky to try the special pork ribs, which were tender and bursting with flavor.

The service was standard, but the friendly staff made me feel right at home. As I enjoyed my meal, I noticed the casual yet lively ambiance, perfect for a laid-back lunch. However, be prepared for a warm room temperature, as it can get a bit toasty during peak hours. One visitor noted, “If you will have lunch there you may adapt with warm or hot room temperature,” which is something to keep in mind.

Don’t forget to ask for the spicy soup if you’re a fan of heat! A fellow diner mentioned, “You need to ask for the soup if you like spice. One of the best bigul soup I’ve had.” It was the perfect complement to my meal, adding an extra kick that I thoroughly enjoyed.

In conclusion, Rumah Makan Khas Bali Mertha Yoga is a culinary treasure that offers a genuine taste of Balinese cuisine. With its delicious pork dishes, affordable prices, and a cozy atmosphere, it’s a place that every food lover should experience. Whether you’re a local or a traveler, this spot will surely leave you craving more of its delectable offerings!
