If you’re ever in Bali and craving some authentic Betawi flavors, you absolutely have to check out Warung Mawar on Jl. Gunus Mas No. 6. Seriously, this place is a gem! With a solid rating of 4.3/5 for food, service, and atmosphere, it’s clear they know what they’re doing.

I decided to dive into a few dishes during my visit, and let me tell you, everything was delicious! I ordered the Nasi Uduk Jakarta, Bakwan Sayur with Peanut Sauce (4 pieces), and Gado Gado Khas Jakarta. All of them were spot on! One reviewer even said, “The best Nasi Uduk I’ve ever tried in Bali. 1000% recommended! Thank you for the cooking, it really cured my homesickness. The portions are just right, and the side dishes are super complete. SO DELICIOUS! The taste is authentic, just like in Jakarta! Please, the peanut sauce is also really good!”

Another visitor mentioned, “Finally found Gado-Gado and Karedok with the sauce ground by hand. Most places in Bali blend it too finely. The flavors here are truly Jakarta. I ordered Nasi Uduk, Gado-Gado, Karedok, and beef stew. The prices are quite affordable, though the portions for Karedok and Gado-Gado could be a bit more generous. The Nasi Uduk portion is just right. The beef stew is super tasty, with the spices soaking in and it’s tender. The service is really friendly too!”

And let’s not forget about the Bakwan! One guest raved, “The Bakwan Bala-Bala is a champion, and the Nasi Uduk, Ketoprak, and Gado-Gado are also delicious, all at friendly prices!”

Overall, if you’re looking for a kid-friendly spot with a cozy atmosphere, Warung Mawar is the place to be. I can’t wait to come back here next time I’m in Bali! Trust me, you won’t regret it!

As I stepped into Warung Mawar, nestled in the bustling area of Jl. Gunus Mas No. 6, Denpasar Bar, Bali, I was immediately enveloped by the warm and inviting atmosphere that this little gem exudes. The aroma of spices wafted through the air, teasing my senses and promising a culinary adventure that would take me straight to the heart of Jakarta’s vibrant food scene.

The menu here is a delightful homage to traditional Jakarta cuisine, with standout dishes like Nasi Uduk Jakarta, Bakwan Sayur with Sambel Kacang, and the ever-popular Gado Gado. I couldn’t resist diving into the Nasi Uduk, which is often hailed as the best I’ve ever tasted in Bali. The rice was perfectly cooked, fluffy, and infused with coconut milk, creating a rich and creamy texture that paired beautifully with the accompanying dishes.

One visitor noted, “The Gado Gado is good, but I wish they would use banana leaves instead of a box for delivery. The peanut sauce spilled everywhere!” While I can understand the frustration with packaging, I must say that the flavors of the Gado Gado were still vibrant and satisfying, even if the presentation was a bit messy. It’s a reminder that sometimes, the journey of food from kitchen to table can be a bit chaotic, but the taste is what truly matters.

Another patron raved, “The portions are generous, and I don’t regret buying here!” Indeed, the servings are hearty, ensuring that you leave with a full belly and a happy heart. The Bakwan Sayur, crispy and golden, paired with the spicy peanut sauce, was a highlight of my meal. I found myself savoring each bite, the crunch of the vegetables perfectly complementing the rich flavors of the sauce.

Service at Warung Mawar was impressively quick, and the staff was friendly, making me feel right at home. The prices are incredibly reasonable, with meals ranging from Rp25,000 to Rp50,000, making it an accessible spot for both locals and tourists alike. However, be prepared for limited seating and parking, as the space is quite small.

As I indulged in my meal, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of nostalgia. One customer expressed it perfectly: “Thank you for the food; it truly brings back memories of my hometown.” This sentiment resonates deeply, as Warung Mawar not only serves delicious food but also offers a taste of home for many who are far away.

In conclusion, if you’re looking to dive into the rich culinary culture of Jakarta while in Bali, Warung Mawar is a must-visit. With its authentic flavors, generous portions, and warm atmosphere, it’s a place where food lovers can truly appreciate the essence of Indonesian cuisine. Just remember to enjoy the experience, even if the packaging isn’t perfect—after all, it’s the taste that counts!
