I wish we'd known about this delicious find sooner! Warung Kevin is officially our favorite place for grilled seafood on Nusa Lembongan and we've had some outstanding meals here. This is a small, family-run restaurant down a quiet road serving incredibly fresh and skillfully cooked seafood that will definitely become a memorable part of your holiday. Thanks to Google reviewers, we went for the Mixed Grilled Seafood for dinner, and returned to eat it again for lunch. The rest of the menu looked delicious, as did the plates of others around us, particularly the fish in banana leaves, but the grilled seafood was so perfect we wanted it both times we've visited. You get grilled prawns, calamari tubes, and tuna caught next door at Nusa Ceningan. Each of these require different cooking times, and each was cooked impeccably--so tender, and deliciously seasoned with authentic Balinese spices. The sayur/urap/vegetables were wonderful, and the sambal matah was just exquisite. This is a humble place in a cute and quaint garden setting. If you're looking for a fancy aesthetic or an ocean view, seek elsewhere, but if you want some of the best, most authentic food on this island, this is your place. The kitchen consists of a husband and wife team and each dish is cooked fresh to order, so it's best not to come when you're already extremely hungry or in a hurry. Order a starter (we loved the crispy tempe) and wait patiently and your meal will be worth...

Read moreThe food at this Warung is incredible! It’s just the owner and his wife that run the whole show, taking your orders and making the most delicious authentic Indonesian meals that are really budget friendly. The wait for the food might be longer than other Warungs due to it only being the two of them, but it’s entirely worth the wait. The few dishes I’ve tried that I highly recommend are the fried vegetable fritters, fried calamari (some of the best I’ve ever had), soto ayum (chicken noodle soup) and Ikan pepes (fish grilled in banana leaf). As other reviewers have said you can tell the food has been cooked with love, and I’ll say again it’s entirely worth the wait!
Update: My brother and I ate the beef rendang here and it was seriously one of the best things I’ve ever tasted. There was so much flavour in the sauce and the meat was incredibly soft. If you are a fan of stews or curries you have to try this dish. It’s a bit more expensive (80k) than other dishes on the menu but it’s a generous portion. Just a heads up that you have order at least 4h in advance so they can prepare...
