If you’re wandering around Denpasar and craving some authentic Balinese flavors, you absolutely have to check out Kedaton! Tucked away on Jl. Buluh Indah, this place is a hidden gem that serves up a buffet-style feast of local dishes. You get to pick your rice—white, yellow, or red—and then choose from a variety of mouthwatering dishes. Just a heads up, some of them pack a spicy punch, so if you’re not a fan of heat, make sure to ask the staff for recommendations!

The vibe here is pretty chill, though I found it a bit dim for my taste. But hey, it’s clean and cozy, which is what really matters when you’re digging into some delicious food. Plus, they even accept GoFood orders if you prefer to enjoy your meal at home.

One of the best parts? You can customize your meal according to your preferences! With around 15 different Balinese dishes to choose from, you can mix and match to your heart’s content. And at just around 40k IDR per person, including drinks, it’s a steal!

For those who are looking for a quick bite, the service is speedy, and the toilets are clean—always a plus! There’s also plenty of parking available, so you won’t have to stress about finding a spot.

While they do have limited vegetarian options, the flavors are on point, and the presentation is lovely. If you’re heading north from Kuta or Seminyak, Kedaton is definitely worth a stop for a true local warung experience. Don’t miss out on their Nasi Ayam Kedaton; it’s a must-try!

Overall, I’d rate the food a solid 4.8 out of 5, service at 4.0, and the atmosphere around 3.7. So, if you’re in the area, grab your friends and head over to Kedaton for a delicious lunch that won’t break the bank!

Hey there! So, I recently checked out this buffet restaurant called Kedaton located at Jl. Buluh Indah No. 63 in Denpasar, Bali. Let me tell you, it was quite an experience! The food got a solid rating of 4.8 out of 5, while the service was around 4.0, and the atmosphere was a bit lower at 3.7. But hey, it’s a buffet, so you know the food is the star of the show!

First off, the prices are super reasonable, ranging from Rp25,000 to 50,000 per person. I ordered a few dishes like Nasi Campur (takeaway), Pindang (per piece), and Es Jeruk, and honestly, everything was delicious! One of the recommended dishes is Nasi Ayam Kedaton, which I didn’t try this time but I’ve heard great things about it.

Now, I did come across some mixed reviews from other visitors. One person mentioned that they ordered some sate lilit but had to swap it for tempe and corn fritters. Unfortunately, when they opened their order, the tempe and corn fritters were missing. They suggested that the staff should double-check orders before sending them out. They also felt that the portion of vegetables was a bit small and that the soup should definitely be included with the takeaway.

Another visitor shared that the place is big and clean, which is always a plus. They had high expectations but found the food just okay, with no standout dishes. They also mentioned that the staff wasn’t very friendly, especially when it came to payment options. Apparently, they didn’t explain well why card payments weren’t accepted and seemed a bit dismissive when asked about the nearest ATM. That’s definitely something they could improve on!

On a brighter note, many people loved the Nasi Campur concept with a variety of food choices, and the local cuisine really captures the taste of Bali. Quick service and clean toilets were also highlighted, along with plenty of parking space, which is always a win!

Overall, I had a good time at Kedaton, and I’d definitely consider going back if I find myself in Bali again. If you’re looking for a casual buffet experience with decent food and a local vibe, this place might just be worth a visit!
