So, let me take you on a little culinary adventure to this gem called Warung Ijo, located at Jl. Senggigi Raya Senggigi Km. 13, right next to the BMC Money Changer in Lombok Barat. If you’re ever in the area, do yourself a favor and stop by. Seriously, it’s like finding a treasure chest filled with deliciousness!

First off, let’s talk about the menu. I mean, who doesn’t love a good plate of Nasi Putih? It’s like the blank canvas of Indonesian cuisine, just waiting for you to splash it with flavor. And splash we did! We dove right into the Gado Gado, which is basically a salad that decided to throw a party with peanut sauce. It’s like the vegetables were saying, “Hey, we’re fresh and healthy, but let’s get a little nutty!”

Now, I’ve heard some people rave about the Ayam Penyet, and let me tell you, it’s not just spicy; it’s like a firework show in your mouth! One reviewer said, “Nice local food especially the ayam penyet – spicy and tasty.” I mean, if that doesn’t make you want to dive into a plate of it, I don’t know what will! Just be prepared to have a glass of water handy, because your taste buds might just throw a little dance party.

And speaking of parties, we were on a roll! We tried the avocado too, which was like the cool kid at school—smooth, creamy, and just the right amount of chill. One couple who had been gallivanting around Bali and the Gili Islands said, “We’ve been eating here each meal since we discovered it. Amazing food (and so many options), the ladies are super kind and the price is super cheap. This is 100000/10.” I mean, if that’s not a glowing review, I don’t know what is! They must have been eating here so much that the staff probably started calling them family.

Now, let’s talk about the atmosphere. It’s clean, friendly, and the service is top-notch. But, a little birdie (or maybe it was just my overheated self) mentioned that the wall fan could use a little TLC. It was a bit warm in the afternoon, but hey, who needs a fan when you have delicious food to cool you down? Just keep a cold drink handy, and you’ll be fine!

Overall, Warung Ijo is a must-visit if you’re in the area. With prices ranging from Rp25,000-50,000 per person, you can eat like a king without breaking the bank. Plus, there’s plenty of parking, so you won’t have to play hide and seek with your car. So grab your friends, your appetite, and maybe a napkin or two, because you’re in for a treat!
