Hey there, fellow foodies! If you ever find yourself in Mataram, you absolutely have to check out Bakso Widodo located at Jl. Hoscokroaminoto No 12, Cemara. Seriously, this place is a gem! I recently dropped by for dinner and let me tell you, it was a total treat. The food? A solid 5.0/5.0! The service? Another 5.0/5.0! The atmosphere? Pretty chill with a 4.7/5.0 vibe. You can dine in and the prices are super reasonable—around Rp25,000-50,000 for dinner and just Rp1-25,000 for lunch.

I went all out and ordered a few dishes: Bakso Campur, Bakso Puyuh, and Bakso Urat. Every single one was delicious! I even heard someone say, “I ordered the coarse meatball but they gave me the mixed meatball,” and honestly, it was so tasty! Plus, the staff were friendly and punctual, which is always a bonus. It’s no wonder this place is a go-to for anyone craving bakso. Many locals say it’s the best bakso in Mataram, right up there with Rumah Bakso and H. Anang, and the prices are just right!

One reviewer mentioned, “Located on the main street of a busy road in the City Center of Lombok, this culinary spot is worth a visit. They have very soft meatballs and homemade glass noodles that give their meatballs a unique signature. A bowl of meatballs costs IDR 18k. They only have one meatball menu, but plenty of drink options. When I visited, there were some available seats at a long shared table. The service was great; we didn’t have to wait long for our food. And the GPS was spot on, making it easy to find. Just a heads up, parking is limited since it’s right on the main street, but the parking attendant is super helpful.

Another fan said, “Comfort food! The best meatball in Mataram! The taste of the meatball was so rich; it would be even more delicious with some condiments like sauce, ketchup, and vinegar all at once.”

And one more review caught my eye: “A very well-known bakso stall in town. Came here based on friends’ recommendation. This bakso eatery offers bakso halus, bakso telur, and bakso urat.”

Honestly, I was a bit hesitant to go in at first, but after trying a small piece of meat offered by one of the staff, I was sold! It was my first time eating bakso, and after trying more on other islands like Sumba and Flores, I can confidently say that Bakso Widodo has the best bakso around. It’s simply delicious!

So, if you’re in Mataram, don’t miss out on Bakso Widodo. I know I’ll be back for more!

For many, Bakso Widodo is not just a restaurant but a nostalgic place. One customer shared, “Bakso is a national dish here in Indonesia. Bakso or meatball is traditionally served with yellow and white noodles along with some vegetables. In Lombok, every bakso stall has several side dishes to enjoy with your bakso. You can add fried peanuts, lontong (rice cake), or kerupuk (chips). The sauces are also a bit different from those in Java; they use tomato sauce instead of the regular tomato-chili sauce found in Java.” This reflection on the cultural significance of bakso adds depth to the dining experience, making it a must-visit for both locals and tourists alike.
