Nasi Tempong Badu, Kuta

Amara

Nasi Tempong Badu, nestled in the bustling Dewi Sri Food Centre, is a culinary gem that has captured the hearts of many food enthusiasts. Known for its signature dishes, including Nasi Tempong Ayam, Nasi Tempong Lele, and Nasi Tempong Cumi, this eatery offers a delightful experience for those seeking authentic Indonesian flavors.

One visitor shared their experience, stating, “I never eat on location but always take away late at night and they still open. I think this tempong has put balance in the force of tempongs. The spicy level is spicy but in a way you can still enjoy it and can enjoy the taste of the chicken, duck, lele or gurame. Love it!!” This sentiment reflects the restaurant’s ability to deliver a satisfying balance of spice and flavor, making it a favorite for late-night cravings.

Another patron remarked, “I haven’t tried all the food on the menu but so far everything I’ve tried has always been good. I love it. My fave is Shrimp Tempong. The shrimp is big, the vegetable/lalapan also fresh & the sambal isn’t disappointing. And the price also makes sense. Please keep it that way.” This highlights the freshness of the ingredients and the reasonable pricing, which adds to the overall appeal of the restaurant.

The ambiance at Nasi Tempong Badu is described as simple yet authentic, with one reviewer noting, “The best place to eat and the atmosphere of real Balinese people is simple. No extra tax, no extra service.” This simplicity allows diners to focus on the food and the genuine Balinese experience.

However, not all feedback was entirely positive. One customer expressed disappointment, stating, “I expect spicy sambal. But it was not spicy at all. The chicken and duck are quite crispy though. They need to definitely improve this. I expect tempong to be spicy.” This indicates that while the restaurant excels in many areas, there is room for improvement in the spice level of their sambal.

Overall, Nasi Tempong Badu boasts an impressive rating of 5.0/5.0 for food, service, and atmosphere. With a price range of Rp25,000-50,000 for takeout and Rp50,000-75,000 for dine-in, it offers great value for a delicious meal. Whether you’re a fan of spicy dishes or simply looking to enjoy a hearty Indonesian meal, Nasi Tempong Badu is worth a visit.

One reviewer mentioned that the vegetables were a bit undercooked, but honestly, everything else was on point. The portions are generous, and the sambal is a total winner.
