As I stepped into Sate Padang Ajo Midun, located on Jl. Padang Luwih Raya in Denpasar, Bali, I was immediately enveloped by the warm, inviting atmosphere of this charming little warung. The aroma of grilled meat wafted through the air, teasing my senses and promising a culinary adventure that would take me straight to the heart of Padang cuisine.

Having previously ordered their satays through a delivery app, I felt like I was finally meeting an old friend in person. The experience of dining in their cozy establishment was a revelation. The satays tasted even better than I remembered, served warm with a gravy that was perfectly balanced—not too thick, allowing the flavors to shine through. One of the patrons noted, “Eating there was like meeting an online friend,” and I couldn’t agree more. The street food ambiance added a delightful touch, making every bite feel like a celebration of local culture.

The menu offers three tantalizing options: Beef Satay, Beef Tongue Satay, and Chicken Satay. Each skewer is grilled to perfection, and the use of fresh fried shallots elevates the dish, adding a fragrant crunch that is simply irresistible. One enthusiastic diner exclaimed, “The best Sate Padang in Bali!” and I found myself nodding in agreement. The authenticity of the flavors transported me back to my travels in Padang, evoking memories of my short trip there in 2016.

While the food was undeniably delicious, I did notice a few comments about the gravy sometimes being served cold. However, the overall experience was so delightful that it hardly dampened my enthusiasm. I also appreciated the option to enjoy a refreshing Teh Telor, a sweet tea that perfectly complemented the savory satays.

With prices ranging from Rp25,000 to Rp50,000 per person, Sate Padang Ajo Midun is not only a culinary gem but also an affordable dining option. It’s a must-visit for anyone looking to dive deeper into the rich tapestry of Indonesian cuisine. As one satisfied customer put it, “Deff will come back as there’s not many options for sate padang in Bali and this one is the nicest so far.” I couldn’t agree more—this place is a treasure trove of flavors waiting to be explored.

So, if you find yourself in Bali, make sure to stop by Sate Padang Ajo Midun. It’s more than just a meal; it’s an experience that captures the essence of Padang culinary culture, and trust me, you won’t want to miss it!
