Shafa

Nasi Goreng Gila Gorilla, located on Jl. Pulau Komodo No 5 in Denpasar, Bali, is a culinary gem that offers a delightful experience for fried rice and noodle enthusiasts. The standout dish, Nasi Goreng Gila Ayam, is a must-try, and it comes highly recommended alongside their Cwie Mie Ayam with Chilli Oil and Pangsit.

Many visitors have praised the restaurant for its generous portions of seafood, stating, “Good fried rice and noodle. They were not stingy with the seafood too, it was nice.” However, some have noted that the cleanliness of the establishment could use some improvement.

For those who enjoy a bit of heat, the Jinak level of spiciness (3 Chilis) is an option, but be warned: “I’m warning you up front that even though Jinak is the lowest level, it’s still very spicy.” Despite the average ambiance and loud Indonesian DJ music, the flavors of the food make it worth a visit. One satisfied customer mentioned, “Would frequent this restaurant,” indicating a strong desire to return.

While the prices are quite affordable, with meals ranging from Rp25,000 to Rp50,000 per person, some diners have commented on the portion sizes being on the smaller side. One review noted, “It’s cheap but portion is not that big!” Additionally, the restaurant’s Wi-Fi has been described as slow, which may be a consideration for those looking to stay connected while enjoying their meal.

Overall, Nasi Goreng Gila Gorilla is a great spot for hanging out with friends, offering a variety of dishes including fried rice, noodles, kwitiau, and sapo tofu. As one patron put it, “The place is good for hanging out, the fried rice, noodles, kwitiau, and the sapo tofu are great! The price is cheap.” With a food rating of 5.0/5.0 and service also at 5.0/5.0, this restaurant is definitely worth a visit for anyone looking to indulge in delicious Indonesian cuisine.

The casual setting, with its simple decor and bustling energy, invites both locals and tourists alike to indulge in a culinary experience that is quintessentially Balinese.

The star of the menu, without a doubt, is the Nasi Goreng Gila Ayam.

As one reviewer aptly put it, “Great taste, great price, great place.” And they weren’t wrong! The portions are generous, ensuring that you leave satisfied without breaking the bank, with prices ranging from Rp25,000 to Rp50,000 per person.

Alongside the fried rice, I couldn’t resist trying the Cwie Mie Ayam with Chilli Oil and Pangsit. The noodles were cooked to perfection, and the addition of seafood was a pleasant surprise, as another visitor noted, “They were not stingy with the seafood too, it was nice.” The flavors melded beautifully, creating a dish that was both comforting and exciting.

While the food was undeniably delicious, the ambiance was a bit of a mixed bag. The restaurant’s cleanliness left something to be desired, as one guest pointed out, “The restaurant wasn’t the cleanest though.” However, the lively chatter and the aroma of sizzling dishes made up for it, creating a sense of community that is often missing in more upscale dining establishments.

For those who enjoy a bit of heat, I recommend requesting extra spice for your dishes. Although one diner mentioned that their request for additional spiciness didn’t quite hit the mark, they still found the Nasi Goreng to be “enak” (delicious). It’s all about personal preference, and the staff is accommodating, eager to make your meal just right.

In conclusion, Nasi Goreng Gila Gorilla is a must-visit for anyone looking to dive deeper into Bali’s culinary culture. The combination of great flavors, reasonable prices, and a lively atmosphere makes it a perfect spot for both a casual lunch or a late-night hangout.
