Warung Deva & Deva Transport — Restaurant in Kecamatan Sidemen

It's a real joke that this restaurant has such a good rating. I explain my experience: First of all: if you go to the restaurant hungry, go somewhere else because here you will have to wait at least an hour even if you order only one dish.

I went with my partner and after waiting more than an hour to receive the two dishes we had ordered, the first meal to arrive at the table was my partner's. After waiting 10 minutes and seeing that mine didn't arrive, I told my girl not to wait for me because otherwise she was going to eat it cold.

20 minutes later I received my meal and the surprise came when the meal did not correspond to the one I had ordered! That was the last straw.

I told the waitress that she had made a mistake but what I wasn't going to do was waiting another hour until they change my plate. The waitress just apologized, but when you only order two dishes, there's hardly much room for error. It's unfortunate that they act that way.

When we went to pay, deluded as I was, I thought that maybe after that mistake, they would give me a small discount or at least give me the bottle of water that we ordered for free. Nothing at all.

Sometimes apologies are not enough, especially with the terrible experience we had to live through. I am sure that if I return to Sidemen, I would much rather go through the supermarket and buy some crisps than go to...

A Slice of Sidemen You’ll Never Forget

During my three unforgettable days in Sidemen, I stumbled upon a true gem—the unforgettable family-run warung nestled along Jl. Raya Tebola. From my very first meal to my last, this charming spot proved itself the best warung in the area.

The owner, a chef whose passion is palpably infused into every dish, is best known for his signature chicken beruk. It glistens with flavor—fresh, perfectly cooked, and absolutely bursting with local authenticity. Each presentation is vibrant and artful—truly remarkable for a warung.

One delightful surprise? With every cocktail, they serve freshly roasted crunchy peanuts—such a thoughtful, flavorful touch. It’s these small but memorable details that elevate an already standout experience.

The atmosphere is warm and welcoming—humble yet unmistakably caring. Their presentation is top-notch, the flavors are bold and true, and each dish feels lovingly prepared. Without a doubt, this is the best warung Sidemen...

We did a cooking course here today and we are simply thrilled. We were lucky and there were only two of us on this day and the owner of the warung, Wayan, did the cooking class with us.

Wayan is the nicest person you can imagine! She has a heart of gold. We talked, laughed and learned a lot about Balinese cuisine and culture.

Before the cooking class, we were able to choose the dishes we wanted to prepare.

Wayan got most of the ingredients fresh from her garden and introduced and explained them to us individually.

Then we prepared everything together and she showed us all the necessary tips and tricks. We were able to learn a lot and also cook independently.

The food was absolutely amazing and by far the best food we have eaten here in Bali so far!

If you are here in Sidemen, save yourself the money for an unnecessarily expensive restaurant and book the cooking course with Warung Deva instead. The food is much better and you'll have a great time.

@ Wayan: Thank...
