Must-Try Dishes
I tried their Nasi Ayam Kedewatan Spesial, and it was a flavour bomb! The sambal has the perfect level of spice, the chicken was tender, and the mix of textures from the crunchy peanuts and fresh vegetables made it so satisfying. For those who prefer a lighter meal, the Tipat Kuah is a refreshing alternative.
Budget-Friendly & Delicious
One of the highlights is the affordability. A full meal with a drink here won’t burn a hole in your pocket. For less than $5 (around Rp75,000), you can enjoy a hearty dish and a beverage. Plus, they have options for kids and vegetarians, making it family-friendly.
Convenient Location
Located in the trendy Seminyak area, it’s easy to find. Whether you’re staying nearby or exploring the area, Nasi Ayam Kedewatan Ibu Mangku is a short ride away. Parking is available, but like most places in Bali, a scooter is your best bet.
Final Thoughts
If you’re in Bali, skipping this place would be a mistake. The balance of traditional flavours and affordable pricing makes it stand out. Trust me, one visit won’t be enough. It’s a place you’ll find yourself returning to for the sheer deliciousness.
