Kedai Evellyn Review: A Hidden Gem for Delicious Local Cuisine in North Denpasar

Kedai Evellyn, perumahan Nuansa Saih

Laras

Hey there! So, I recently checked out this cozy little diner called Kedai Evellyn located in the residential area of Nuansa Saih No 1-10, Peguyangan Kaja, North Denpasar. Let me tell you, it was quite the experience!

First off, the food was solid, scoring a 4.0 out of 5. I ordered a few dishes like Nasi Kulit Ayam, Es Campurr, and Soto Ayam Khas Lamongan, and honestly, everything was delicious! I mean, people are raving about it saying things like, “It’s tasty, crunchy, and the portions are huge #highlyRecommended.” Another review said, “All the food and drinks are great,” and I couldn’t agree more! Someone even exclaimed, “The best laah pokoknya,” and “Enak bgt puolll murah,” which means it’s super tasty and cheap! Can’t argue with that!

Now, the service was also pretty good, another 4.0 out of 5. The staff was friendly and attentive, which made the experience even better. I noticed that they offer take-out service, and it’s actually cheaper if you go there instead of ordering through GoFood. Just a heads up, the place is a bit small, so take-away is the way to go!

As for the atmosphere, it’s a bit of a mixed bag. I’d give it a 2.0 out of 5. It was pretty quiet, maybe because it’s tucked away in a deeper area, making the road a bit intimidating. I heard they might be moving to Pulau Belitung or somewhere else, so who knows what the future holds for this spot!

One of the reviews I came across mentioned, “Ka Evellyn, dodo pulang dlu makasih udh jd restoran langganan dodo slama di Bali,” which translates to “Thank you for being my go-to restaurant while in Bali.” It’s clear that this place has its loyal fans!

All in all, I had a great time at Kedai Evellyn, and I would definitely come back if I find myself in Bali again. If you’re looking for some tasty local food at a reasonable price, this is the spot to hit up!

Tasya

As I stepped into Kedai Evellyn, nestled in the serene residential area of Nuansa Saih, Peguyangan Kaja, North Denpasar, I was immediately enveloped by a unique blend of local charm and culinary promise. The ambiance, though a bit quiet—perhaps due to its somewhat secluded location—invited a sense of intimacy that made me feel like I was about to uncover a hidden gem.

The star of the menu, Nasi Kulit Ayam, was highly recommended, and I couldn’t resist diving into this crispy delight. The skin was perfectly fried, offering a satisfying crunch that paired beautifully with the tender chicken beneath. It was a dish that spoke volumes about the local culinary traditions, showcasing the art of balancing textures and flavors.

Another highlight was the Soto Ayam Khas Lamongan. One visitor raved, “The Soto Betawi is a champion, and the grilled chicken with sambal is absolutely delicious!” This sentiment resonated with my experience as I savored the rich, aromatic broth that enveloped the chicken, complemented by a hint of spice that was just right. However, I did notice some comments about the sambal being less spicy than expected, which might be a consideration for those who crave a fiery kick.

As I sipped on the Es Campurr, a refreshing blend of flavors, I couldn’t help but appreciate the effort that went into crafting each drink. Yet, I did encounter a few hiccups during my visit. One diner mentioned, “Ordering here took too long; the service was quite slow.” While I found the staff friendly and accommodating, the wait time could indeed test your patience, especially during peak hours.

Despite the minor setbacks, the overall experience was delightful. The food was consistently praised, with one guest stating, “Everything was delicious!” However, there were mixed reviews on some dishes, like the dim sum and risol udang, which left a few diners disappointed. It’s clear that while some items shine, others may need a bit of refinement.

In conclusion, Kedai Evellyn is a must-visit for anyone looking to delve deeper into the culinary culture of Bali. The combination of traditional dishes, a cozy atmosphere, and the chance to enjoy a meal away from the bustling tourist spots makes it a worthwhile stop. Just be prepared for a bit of a wait, and perhaps adjust your expectations regarding spice levels. Overall, it’s a culinary adventure that offers a taste of local life, and I left with a satisfied palate and a heart full of memories.
