The restaurant boasts a clean and spacious layout, with plenty of seating options that cater to both small and large groups. The decor is simple yet charming, reflecting the local culture with traditional Balinese touches. It’s the kind of place where you can relax and enjoy your meal without feeling rushed.

The menu is a treasure trove of local flavors, but the star of the show is undoubtedly their Nasi Campur. This dish, which translates to “mixed rice,” is a colorful plate filled with a variety of meats, vegetables, and sambal, all served with a generous portion of rice. I opted for the Nasi Campur (Kotak) and was not disappointed. The flavors were vibrant and authentic, a true representation of Indonesian culinary artistry.

One reviewer mentioned, “The best nasi campur in Bali, affordable price, nearby living world, they also have red rice, very recommended, try it guys.” I couldn’t agree more! The red rice added a unique twist to the dish, enhancing both its flavor and nutritional value. And at a price range of Rp50,000-75,000 per person, it’s a steal for such quality food.

Another highlight was the Ayam Goreng, which was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. A fellow diner noted, “Delicious Indonesian food. The complimentary sayur asam was nice.” The sayur asam, a traditional sour vegetable soup, was a refreshing complement to the rich flavors of the main dishes. However, I did notice that the portion sizes for the meats were a bit small, so if you’re feeling particularly hungry, I’d recommend ordering doubles for the beef or chicken.

As a foreigner, I felt right at home here. One traveler shared, “As a ‘bule’, if you’re around you need to stop here or order by gojek. Typical Balinese/Indonesian food that is honestly delicious and so cheap.” The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making the dining experience even more enjoyable.
