Warung Pojok: A Must-Visit for Delicious and Affordable Nasi Campur in Denpasar

Warung Pojok, Nangka Selatan

Bagus

Hey foodies! If you’re ever in Denpasar, Bali, you HAVE to check out Warung Pojok. This little gem is located at Jl. Nangka Selatan No. 126, and trust me, it’s worth the visit! I recently revisited this warung, and I’m happy to report that the quality and taste of the food are still on point. Plus, the prices are super reasonable!

So, here’s the deal: you can customize your meal however you like. Whether you want the full package or just a few items to fit your budget, it’s all good! A friend of mine recommended this place, claiming it’s one of the best local spots for Nasi Campur Bali (Bali Mixed Rice). She did warn me about the queue, but I didn’t expect people to order like 5-40 packs each! ?? Luckily, the line wasn’t too long, probably because it’s still the new normal and fewer people are dining in. I can only imagine how packed it gets during peak times!

The variety of toppings is insane! You can either pick your own or just tell the lovely ladies behind the counter how much you want to spend (15K, 25K, 35K), and they’ll hook you up. The taste? Oh man, it’s super yummy! This has quickly become one of my fave warungs. The portions are huge, the prices are affordable (the meal in the pic cost me 35K), and the place is spacious and clean. When I mentioned this warung to another local friend, she was all about it too! Definitely a must-try!

Now, I did hear some mixed reviews. One person mentioned that the “abon sapi” (beef floss) lacked flavor and that the “kering kentang” (fried potatoes) was too sweet. They also pointed out that there were quite a few flies in the dining area, suggesting that the cleanliness could use some improvement. A good tip would be to offer more eco-friendly bags instead of plastic ones, especially since people often forget to bring their own.

On the bright side, many rave about the affordable and delicious Balinese Nasi Campur Ayam (chicken mixed rice). If you’re a fan of spicy food, this is definitely the place for you! Just be prepared for a bit of a wait during lunchtime.

Overall, I’d rate Warung Pojok a solid 4.0 for food and service, but the atmosphere could use some work (2.5/5.0). If you’re looking for a tasty and budget-friendly meal, this spot is a winner!

So, let me take you on a little culinary adventure to Warung Pojok, located at Jl. Nangka Selatan No. 126, Denpasar, Bali. Picture this: a cozy little spot where the aroma of spices dances in the air, and your stomach starts doing the cha-cha the moment you step inside. Seriously, it’s like my stomach was auditioning for a dance show!

Now, let’s talk about the star of the show: Nasi Campur. I mean, who doesn’t love a plate that looks like a colorful explosion of flavors? I ordered the basic Nasi Campur for 25k, and let me tell you, it was like a party on my plate! But, oh boy, I felt like a walking ATM when I realized I could get a similar dish for 10k to 15k elsewhere. It’s like Bali is saying, “Welcome to paradise! Now, hand over your cash!”

One reviewer said, “One of the legendary food waroong in Bali, they have some other branches but the best one is at Nangka Street. The taste is always homey and suitable for almost everyone.” And I couldn’t agree more! It’s like being wrapped in a warm blanket of flavors, except this blanket is made of rice and deliciousness!

But let’s be real, if you’re planning to visit during lunch, prepare for a queue longer than the line for a new iPhone release. I mean, I thought I was waiting for a concert ticket! But don’t worry, the service is as swift as a Balinese dancer, so you won’t be waiting forever. Totally worth it!

Now, I did hear some mixed reviews about the curry. One brave soul said, “Big portion, delicious, but I don’t like the curry (only this branch has that curry) too spicy.” I guess it’s a love-it-or-hate-it situation. I mean, who doesn’t love a little spice in their life? But if you’re like me and can’t handle the heat, just remember: water is your best friend!

Overall, Warung Pojok is a delightful spot to satisfy your hunger pangs. Just be prepared for a bit of a wait during lunch, and maybe bring a friend to help you carry all that delicious food back to your table. And if you can’t find parking, just remember: it’s a great excuse to work off those calories by walking a bit!

So, if you’re in Bali and looking for a tasty adventure, grab your friends, your appetite, and head over to Warung Pojok. Just don’t forget to bring your sense of humor and maybe a few extra bucks for that “tourist tax.” Happy eating!
