Warung Kaya, Uluwatu

As I stepped into Warung Kaya, nestled in the serene surroundings of Uluwatu, I was immediately enveloped by the warm, inviting atmosphere of this family-run gem. The rustic decor, adorned with traditional Balinese elements, sets the perfect backdrop for a culinary adventure that promises to be both authentic and delightful.

The menu is a treasure trove of Indonesian flavors, but I was particularly drawn to their signature dishes. I ordered the White Rice paired with Sambal Tempe Kemangi, and a refreshing Orange Juice. The rice was fluffy and perfectly cooked, serving as a canvas for the vibrant sambal. The sambal tempeh, infused with fragrant basil, was a revelation—spicy yet balanced, it danced on my palate and left me craving more.

One of the highlights of my meal was the sour soup, a dish that many patrons rave about. A fellow diner had mentioned, “The sour soup is also a treat 🙂 really glad that this place opened!” and I couldn’t agree more. Its tangy flavor, combined with fresh vegetables, was a comforting reminder of home-cooked meals. Another guest exclaimed, “I wish I could eat everything every day!”—a sentiment that resonated deeply with me as I savored each bite.

The service at Warung Kaya was impeccable. The staff, described by many as “really kind,” made me feel like part of the family. One reviewer noted, “Good taste and family service!! We love it,” and I couldn’t help but feel the same warmth during my visit. The attention to detail in both the food and service is what truly sets this place apart.

While I was there, I overheard a regular customer lamenting the absence of their beloved sayur asem, stating, “Sayangnya sekarang gak ada menu sayur asemnya… padahal sayur asemnya juara bangeett.” It was clear that this dish holds a special place in the hearts of many, and I made a mental note to return for it on my next visit.

With prices ranging from Rp25,000 to Rp50,000 per person, Warung Kaya offers an incredible value for the quality of food and service provided. The cozy atmosphere, combined with the delicious, authentic Indonesian cuisine, makes it a must-visit for anyone looking to dive deeper into the culinary culture of Bali.

In conclusion, if you find yourself in Uluwatu, make sure to stop by Warung Kaya. Whether you’re a local or a traveler, this place promises a delightful experience that will leave you with a full belly and a happy heart. Trust me, you won’t regret it!

If you’re ever in Bali, you absolutely have to check out Warung Kaya in Uluwatu! This place is a total gem, and I can’t stop raving about it. Seriously, the food gets a perfect score of 5.0/5.0, and I totally get why. Everything is fresh and made to order, and the flavors are just out of this world!

Let’s talk about some of their standout dishes. First up, the Nasi Putih (White Rice) is a must-have. It’s the perfect base for all the deliciousness that follows. Then there’s the Sambal Tempe Kemangi (Basil Tempeh), which is just legendary! It’s spicy, aromatic, and oh-so-addictive. And don’t even get me started on their Jus Jeruk (Orange Juice) – it’s super refreshing and pairs perfectly with your meal.

One customer mentioned, “I can say I’m a regular here; all the dishes are fresh-made, taste amazing, and the portions are just right. The tuna with basil is legendary!!” How awesome is that? Everyone seems to agree that the food is not just good, but super delicious! Another review said, “The food is clean, and the service is quick; it’s top-notch!”

Now, I did hear a little feedback about the packaging not being the best lately, with some dishes served in boxes without any extra lining, which can make it look a bit messy. But honestly, the taste more than makes up for it! Just a heads up, they used to have a killer Sayur Asem (Sour Vegetable Soup), and a few folks are really hoping they bring it back because it was just that good!

Overall, the atmosphere is chill, and the staff is super kind, making your dining experience even better. With prices ranging from Rp25,000-50,000 per person, it’s totally affordable for the quality you get. I can’t wait to go back to Warung Kaya the next time I’m in Bali. It’s definitely a place you don’t want to miss!
