Warung Gili Local Food — Restaurant in Nusa Penida Subdistrict

You gotta eat here! We've been in Bali and the surroundings for the past 2 weeks and have struggled to find genuinely flavored local food. This was a first. The place is unpretentious, the staff - waited on by the father and sons, cooked for by the mother who makes everything, including her sambal from scratch - were so kind, genuine, and helpful. The food is what steals the show. Can't go wrong with either fish dish. We have another 4 days on NL and plan to come back to try the rest of the menu. Prices are also incredibly reasonable for the area; a whole fish will set you back 65K. If you're sick of frozen seafood, burgers and pasta joints, take a chance. If you generally like to eat local then get down here before the word...

It's a place frequented by locals. Not a large menu but they seem to specialize in fresh fish. They keep it in a cooler and you can look at them and choose what fish you want and they will either fry it or grill it for you. It's sold by the weight.

What I liked about it is it's run by a very nice family. Because there's only one person cooking if you come after a large party be prepared to wait as service can be slow and in the evenings wear bug spray as the mosquitoes...

READ Please, please come here. I was for 2 dinner in my 2 night there. Best Mie Goreng i ate in my 2 weeks trip in Bali. Don't be intimidate by the uncommon place for western standard, this is a real local place with real amazing balinese food. Stop eating funking pasta and hamburger in shiny places, this is the real amazing food of the island. Owners are really kind and beautiful people. Trima kasih...
