If you’re ever in Denpasar, you gotta check out Ayam Gepuk Pak Gembus on Jl Imam Bonjol no 595. Seriously, this place is a gem! With a solid rating of 4.7 for food, 4.0 for service, and 4.0 for atmosphere, it’s definitely worth a visit. The prices are super friendly too, ranging from Rp25,000-50,000 per person, so you can enjoy a delicious meal without breaking the bank.

I ordered a few things from their menu, including the Paket Kenthir 1, Tahu, and the Original Chicken. Let me tell you, everything was delicious! One reviewer said, “THE SAMBAL IS ALWAYS ON POINT! The portion sizes are great and totally worth it. It’s always tasty and my go-to when I’m not sure what to eat. The sambal is the best, and I love the chicken because it’s marinated before frying, making it super savory. I was a bit surprised that the sambal was lighter in color this time; it used to be darker.”

Another visitor mentioned, “A nice Indonesian dish. I love it. Firstly, it comes from Sumatra to Bali.” And I totally agree! It’s a perfect spot for lunch or dinner, especially if you’re craving that special fried chicken that’s pounded flat for easy eating, served with super spicy sambal on request. The service is quick, and the place is always buzzing with people, which is a good sign!

They’ve got this local fried chicken made with their own recipe and fresh handmade sambal. It’s super popular in Jogja and Jakarta, and now I see why! One first-timer said, “I’ve never found a chili recipe like this before, and it’s satisfying, delicious, and addictive. I’m never disappointed when I try it again, but the parking lot and location can be a bit tight.”

All in all, if you find yourself in Bali, you can bet I’ll be heading back to Ayam Gepuk Pak Gembus for another round of that amazing chicken and sambal. Can’t wait!

The moment I stepped inside, I was greeted by a casual yet vibrant atmosphere. The aroma of spices wafted through the air, instantly igniting my appetite. The decor was simple, with wooden tables and chairs that added to the homey feel of the place. It was clear that this was a spot where locals gathered, and I felt a sense of excitement knowing I was about to indulge in something special.

Now, let’s talk about the star of the show: the Paket Kenthir 1. This dish is a flavor explosion, featuring tender chicken that is perfectly marinated and fried to golden perfection. The accompanying spicy sambal is a fiery delight, packed with aromatic herbs that elevate the dish to another level.

The generous portions and affordable prices, ranging from Rp25,000 to Rp50,000 per person, make it a popular choice among both locals and tourists.

For those who might be concerned about the oiliness of the fried chicken, one visitor noted that it can be quite oily, but that’s part of the charm of traditional Indonesian cooking. Just be prepared if you’re not used to spicy food, as the sambal can pack quite a punch! As one satisfied customer put it, “Recommended for anyone that is in really fit condition and love spicy.”

Vegetarians, fear not! The restaurant also offers surprisingly good vegetarian options, which one reviewer claimed were the best they had found in Bali so far. The prices are super cheap, making it a steal for the quality of food you receive.

While the food was undeniably delicious, I did encounter a minor hiccup with my order. I had requested an omelet but didn’t receive it, which was a bit disappointing. However, the overall experience was still delightful, and the friendly service made up for it. The staff were attentive and eager to ensure that my dining experience was enjoyable.

In conclusion, Ayam Gepuk Pak Gembus is not just a restaurant; it’s a culinary journey that offers a taste of authentic Indonesian culture.
