Warung Puspa Candidasa — Restaurant in Kecamatan Karangasem

Flabbergasted by the positive reviews. For us it was another disappointing meal in Bali, maybe the worst one ever. The first meal that actually made me angry. No matter how friendly people are, they should not get away with serving this kind of food. Nothing was right: the beer was not cold, the ice tea was so weak it had no taste, the dough of the spring rolls was raw, the sweet sauce that came with it basically consisted of water and sugar, the cap cay was watery and tasteless, the fried rice was cold and had no taste whatsoever. One positive: the prawn chips were crispy. After tasting the food we left most of standing on the table, paid and left. We basically paid 190 rupies for a few pieces of krupuk, then went home and made us some...

A medium-sized warung tucked away on a side street — you probably wouldn’t find it unless you’re checking the map or searching for local food spots. Prices are very reasonable, and the food was good. The soup was even spicier than average, which was a nice surprise.

The place is clean and peaceful, with a bit of traffic noise from the nearby road, but nothing disturbing. Service was friendly, and the food arrived in about 10–15 minutes. A small tip: double-check your order when placing it — a couple of items didn’t make it onto our bill the first time.

Overall, a pleasant and simple place to enjoy local dishes without the heavy tourist feel. Great if you want something...

Lovely little warung, not state of the art but that just adds to the charme. The owners are super nice, attentive, offered to drive us back to our hotel and gave some advice on what to do around whilst always being discreet and leaving us to enjoy our meal. Which was really outstanding, at an incredible price in comparison to many places in Candi Dasa! They served the best (homemade) Tempeh I have had in Bali so far alongside great Nasi Campur, Curry, pancakes, freshly made juices -you name it.

We can absolutely recommend this place and hope they will be as welcoming and content next time we're...
