Restaurant Balinese restaurant

🫤 We waited 1h15 for our meals, and when it arrived the chicken satay was cold and the grilled calamari was only 3 little pieces on a stick, and it was not good. Plus the place is full of mosquitos... People often mention fish, good, grilled, delicious, chicken, coconut, restaurant, Excellent, staff, friendly,

    Micro meal. Terribly understaffed. Arrive early and prepare to wait. Granted, you will ne allowed to serve yourself from the fridge. If you can eat very small portions of bony fish like a cat - then this is the place for you. Sorry, we wanted to enjoy this little place, but it was very ordinary, to say the least.

    Husband and I went this warung on 22 July 2018. I should have eaten a cup of noodle or fried rice before going there for dinner. Ordered two fishes, we waited for less than an hour, that's 55 mins, for the dishes finally were served on our table. My husband's fish has a size of dim sum, tiny! Had asked fillet, but still have many big, fine and sharp bones. My fish is small and has hundreds of bone. If you were a cat, you don't have problem handling the fish bone and satisfied the size of the fish. Every single mouthful bites are bone, spat it out 3 to 5 bones on every bite. Fish meat thin like A4 paper with lots of bone! There is no service in the restaurant as the only waitress was busy working in the kitchen. You wanna get a Bintang, go get it next door supermarket! Make sure you have eaten dinner before you go there for dinner.

    Very nice place, with food cooked and served with ❤️ Delicious food. If you do not find something in the menu, just ask and they will prepare it for you. We have ordered special fish and Sato Ayam. This place is run by a family and you feel like at home with them. We were 2 adults with a baby. The owners and their son played with our 1 year old daughter and we could enjoy our dinner, which was very helpful. We highly recommend this place

    (Translated by Google) I read negative reviews and I want to disagree. Specially ordered fish and seafood to eat. The fish was absolutely seedless, they also brought in quite quickly, everything was delicious, my wife and I liked it. Good cocktails based on local alcohol Arak, smells like tequila. (Original) Почитал негативные отзывы и хочу не согласиться. Специально заказали рыбу и морепродукты что бы поесть. Рыба абсолютно без косточек, принесли тоже довольно быстро, все было вкусно, мне с супругой понравилось. Неплохие коктейли на основе местного алкоголя Арак, по запаху напоминает текилу.

    One of the first lunches we had in Amed. The grilled prawns were delicious with a lovely chargrill flavour. My husband enjoyed his calamari salad, very fresh and the soto ayam had heaps of chicken in it! This is a no frills, very local, simple, cheap restaurant with fresh and tasty homemade food.

    Great food, reasonable prices, nice open space with bamboo furniture. I had the grilled mahi-mahi. Portion of fish was not huge, but grilled perfectly. Came with nice vegetables, rice, and a very tasty coconut type salad hard to describe, and their delicious sambal sauce. My fiancé had the coconut crusted fish, minced fish croquettes deep fried and served with potatoes fried and nice little salad. The owner is very sweet and good English. We also started with nice spring rolls, served with a rich satay sauce. Not the flakey crust kind though, the more doughy type if that makes sense. Still quite good.

    (Translated by Google) During our stay in Amed, we went to this lovely bamboo restaurant twice. Good menu choice, beautiful presentation & tasty dishes! We tasted Niçoise salad, spring rolls, sweet bali pizza, crumb goreng, crispy chicken with coconut and a split banana for dessert! Everything was delicious! The staff are welcoming and very friendly! I highly recommend it especially since the prices are more than reasonable! One of the best value for money we have seen! (Original) Durant notre séjour à Amed, nous sommes allés à 2 reprises à ce joli restaurant fait de bambou. Bon choix de menu, belle présentation & plats savoureux! Nous avons goûté à la salade niçoise, aux rouleaux de printemps, à la pizza sweet bali, au mie goreng, au poulet croustillant au coconut et comme dessert un banane à split! Tout était délicieux! Le personnel est accueillant et très sympathique! Je vous le recommande fortement d'autant plus que les prix sont plus que raisonnable! Un des meilleurs rapport qualité prix que nous avons vu!

    (Translated by Google) AWESOME ! Very friendly welcome, unbeatable value for money. Correct timeout. We tasted very good grilled fish, the plates were generous. For desserts, I recommend the local specialties especially Dadar gulung coconut (it's coconut powder with brown sugar coated with a French crepe). I recommend this dessert as well as this restaurant. (Original) GENIAL ! Accueil très sympathique, rapport qualité prix imbattable. Délai d'attente correct. Nous avons dégusté de très bons poissons grillés, les assiettes étaient copieuses. Pour les desserts je vous conseille les spécialités locale surtout le Dadar gulung coconut (c'est de la poudre de noix de coco avec du sucre roux enrobé d'une crepe a la francaise). Je recommande ce dessert ainsi que ce restaurant.

    A lovely family-run Warung, food prepared and served with love and a smile, the curry and calamari were great and the Nasi Goreng too hit the spot. Sometimes it’s worth the wait for a freshly prepared meal when it’s made like this.

    Great place to eat Balinese food, friendly family run place, the chicken betutu is incredible, the gravy is packed full of flavour, tender slow cooked perfection and the fresh side salads are amazing. Have tried grilled prawns and tuna, both were great and portions very generous for the price, give this warung a go!

  • 1/5 Toni 6 months ago on Google • 12 reviews
    It took them 25mins to prepare 1 portion of their very own interpretation of a nasi campur, which would be chicken leg in a tasteless sauce, with plain rice and uninspired veggies; way to overpriced for what it is!

    We went to Warung Bali Mesari and it was incredible! The food was amazing, highly recommend chicken rendang, nasi goreng and calamari (there were so much flavour). Best place in Amed! Food for great price,also very helpful stuff,you can always ask them they will describe you the meal.

    I only tried grilled seafood platter in there, but the owners are super nice and the food tasted amazing. I don't usually eat fish, but this barracuda was fresh boneless and juicy. So glad this place for dinner. Cannot wait to visit it again.

  • 2/5 Mihai H. 1 year ago on Google
    After waiting for 1 hour to get our food, we had to ask it as takeaway since we had small kids with us and could not wait longer. The food portions are very small, I could easily eat 2 of those and tbh, the taste is nothing special compared to the restaurants nearby

  • 5/5 Bart D. 1 year ago on Google
    Wauw! All this food is amazing and the staff (including the little boy) as well! We have had the chicken rendang, lumpia's and saoto ayam soup. Please go there of you can. Everything is home and fresh made.

  • 1/5 Michaela T. 1 year ago on Google
    We ordered 2 calamari dish and a fish after the cook told us that they are fresh from today morning. Unfortunately, they were spoiled and it was impossible to eat it. The food was really bad and not fresh at all. We paid 17€ so that was a complete waste of money since we didn’t have any dinner.

  • 5/5 susan f. 1 year ago on Google
    We have had the great fortune of spending three weeks in Amed and love to venture out into all that nature offers. We are just the same with food, always looking for somewhere new and exciting. We have been drawn back here and visited Warung Bali Mesari most days and have never been disappointed. The food is always excellent and fresh and the chef is very experienced. In fact, we quite often sit and scratch our heads and watch as the tourists head into the popular French owned tourist haunt across the road. We have eaten in both and both are equally delicious but Bali Mesari edges it for us for its range of authentic dishes at very reasonable prices!!

    (Translated by Google) The best cafe on Amed, ate there daily. A delicious dish of chicken sate in peanut sauce. They tried squid and fish. There are a lot of bones in the fish. The price for one dish is on average 50k. If there are a lot of people, you have to wait. Meals are served on banana leaves and the furniture is made of bamboo. (Original) Лучшее кафе на Амеде, питались там ежедневно. Очень вкусное блюдо куриное сате в ореховом соусе. Пробовали кальмары и рыбу. В рыбе много костей. Цена за одно блюдо в среднем 50к. Если много народа, придется подождать. Блюда подают на банановых листьях, а мебель сделана из бамбука.

    Best seafood in amed And friendly staff

  • 1/5 Mihhail P. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Perhaps we ended up unsuccessfully, but the experience turned out to be negative ... The grilled squids were just rubber, and the fish can not only be cleaned of bones, but also simply cleaned .. The dish was teeming with scales. And be careful with cocktails. It is clear that arak is rice vodka with a specific taste, most reminiscent of bad moonshine, but when a cocktail with it frankly gives acetone ... ??? Moreover, as in the best traditions of third-rate eateries, the first cocktail turned out to be quite worthy, but the second ... they tried and did not dare to drink. Take care of yourself. (Original) Возможно, мы неудачно попали, но опыт оказался негативным... Кальмары на гриле были просто резиновыми, а рыбу не умеют не только очищать от костей, но и просто чистить .. Блюдо кишело чешуёй. И будьте осторожны с коктейлями. Понятно, что арак - это рисовая водка со специфическим вкусом, более всего напоминающим плохой самогон, но когда коктейль с ней откровенно отдаёт ацетоном...??? Причем, как в лучших традициях третьесортных забегаловок, первый коктейль оказался вполне достойным, а вот второй...попробовали и пить не рискнули. Берегите себя.

  • 5/5 Charlotte D. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) It's a great place, the team is adorable and fast. Grilled fish is their specialty and I understand why it was delicious! Passing through the Balinese fish soup, the grilled tuna and its accompaniment and finally, the dadar gulung coconut which is my favorite. (French crepe that surrounds coconut chips mixed with brown sugar) Quality ratio, quantity-price unbeatable. This little warung is a pearl! I recommend this place. (Original) C'est un super endroit, l'équipe est adorable et rapide. Le poisson grillé est leur spécialité et je comprend pourquoi, c'était délicieux ! En passant par la soupe balinese fish, le thon grillé et son accompagnement et pour finir, le dadar gulung à la coconut qui est mon coup de coeur. (crêpe à la française qui entoure des copeaux de noix de coco mélangés à du sucre roux) Rapport qualité, quantité-prix imbattable. Ce petit warung est une perle ! Je recommande cet endroit.

  • 5/5 Dee S. 4 years ago on Google
    Sadly I don't have a photo of the meal I had here. This place deserves so much kudos. They seem to be quiet but surely they could be busier. First time I came here, I has the grilled snapper. It was not small. It comes with a serving of rice, a serving of sayur urab (poached veggies with spiced grated coconut), some cucumber and tomato. The fish, it was amaaaazing. Fresh, tasted clean and done super nicely. The sambal bawang (sambal matah) was nice as well. Their menu doesn't seem to be expensive either compared to many places. I left super happy and full for the food I had. It was a good sized snapper and so worth it for 60K. If you're not a big eater, you can get an extra rice and veggies and share the one fish with a friend. The next day I had a grilled mahi-mahi which was also delish but prefer it to be done with the sauce that was used for the snapper (traditional sauce with turmeric and all). Highly recommended for the quality of the fish and the taste.

    Ignore the fully booked restaurant across the road, this was the best food I’ve had in the whole of Bali. We had Betutu Chicken and grilled prawns. Amazing flavours and spices.
