Waroeng Tedoeh — Restaurant in Bantul Regency

So, true to its name, Waroeng Tedoeh really lives up to that teduh vibe. But, I wouldn’t recommend going here when it’s rainy season—things get pretty damp and slippery. But if you're cool with that, no problem!

I parked up top because, well, if you park below, it’s a hassle to get back up (my old car’s not exactly built for that). As soon as I walked in, I was greeted by the real pawon (kitchen) with an authentic wood-fired cooking setup—really cool vibe. I got a spot in the corner, not too close to the bottom area, since I got there exactly at 10 AM when the place opened.

First thing I noticed, though, was the sink—it wasn’t super clean, with tissue scattered around it. Not a huge deal, but I figured the place had just opened, so maybe no one had eaten yet.

Now, I ordered the complete ingkung package with all the fixings—chicken, vegetables, sambal, steamed rice, tempe, crushed peanuts, chicken broth, and fresh herbs. Flavor-wise? It was decent—not anything that blew me away, but the ayam kampung was nice and tender, and the marinated flavors were pretty well absorbed. The fried tempe was just your average tempe goreng, nothing special. The sayur daun pepaya (papaya leaf veggie) wasn’t bitter, but honestly, it was a bit too sweet. Maybe it’s just a Yogyakarta thing?

Oh, and I also ordered fries. I specifically asked for them to be crispy, but they came out soggy—like they were fried in oil that wasn’t hot enough. You know that greasy, oily mess? Yeah, that was it.

But hey, that’s just my taste. Would I come back? Probably not. But if you're into trying something different, it might be worth...

I'm looking for a family-friendly restaurant with a natural atmosphere. I have searched around my place. We chose this place and took about an hour to come here. We rely on the Google map to find this place. There are 2 parking areas, and the one is tight in front of the entry gate. There are so many stairs here, and we suggest that if you bring the senior, please consider having an area near the cashier. If you are the young people, you can find other seat areas far beyond the hill. We ordered the nasi ingkung tenong package. It's suitable for 3-4 adults. Other recommended dishes are Tempe mendoan and pisang bakar.

You may make your own coffee or tea for free. Corrected, this is not free. You pay the coffee or tea that you made itself based on your accepted price. Either the coffee and tea served here is good. You tag the price by yourself.

How about the price? It's not as expensive as we think. Surprisingly, the botled water costs 5k. We figure out that the first impression is like a medium high-class restaurant. But, after all, this is very budget friendly.

The serve is very good. The food comes to our table together. I mean, we order some food, beside the one "ayam kampung" package, they come all together. So we are not waiting for one dish with another.

I highly recommended the restaurant...

A truly aesthetic dining spot! The walls are beautifully built from limestone, preserving the feel of a simple yet charming countryside home. It’s a lovely mix of rustic and elegant design that feels very authentic.

Located among lush, dense trees, this place is a real hidden gem in southern Jogja, specifically in the Bangunjiwo area. It feels secluded yet still accessible – perfect if you want to escape the city buzz without going too far.

Prices are very affordable, which is great, and they don’t sacrifice the quality or taste of the food. The flavors are solid and homey – really satisfying for the price.

One thing to note: cleanliness is just okay. It’s an open-air rural setting, so expect dry leaves, twigs, ants, insects, even spider webs in the trees. It’s part of the charm, but not everyone will love it.

Also, be aware that the dining area is terraced down from the entrance, with fairly steep steps. It’s not wheelchair-friendly or ideal for elderly visitors.

Overall, a beautiful, affordable, and relaxing spot if you’re looking for an authentic countryside dining...
