Pak Man Warung Buati — Restaurant in West Nusa Tenggara

In one sentence: This is an absolutely lovely little Warung in Gili Meno!

First things first, their meals are awesome-a-licious. Everything we tried so far tasted so fresh, unique & delicious! If you like vegeterian meals, we strongly recommend: Urap-Urap with Tempeh & Lombok Salad (called Beberuk). Also, their Nasi Campur (Mixed rice) is delicious & cheap. They were all so great!

At Warung Pak Man, They have a special way of preparing tempeh, which is insanely good. Also, try any of their fruit juices, they're excellent, especially the coconut juice, it was WOW-a-licious.

Secondly, the staff there is just lovely. All of them serve you with a smile & you can feel the genuine care they have for their customers. Very appreciated!

Thirdly, they also take take-away orders, so it's a very delicious option if you want to go to the beach with some tasty food & fruit juices!

Last but not least, the prices are very good! Walking around Gili Meno, we quickly realized that there are a lot of tourist traps. Not there. Prices are very good for the quality of genuine food you get.

Three words: JUST GO THERE!

PS: Yes, Warung Pak Man also goes by the name "Warung Buati". Same...

Now if you’re looking for Legit local tasty food, no bells and whistles, and helpful staff to be served by, this is the place.

My wife and I were looking to find a place for dinner and stock up with some bottled water. We came across this place and was attracted by the crowd of tourists eating there. We soon found out why this restaurant was busy and even why some locals ate there. The food was so good, so tasty, big portions and so incredibly affordable. We thought since it was cheap maybe the portions were small so we ordered 5 dishes to make main meals but found out it was 5 main courses!

The owner, Pak Man is a very friendly, respectful and kind man. A pleasure to have met and even have some good conversations with.

We were on the island for 4 nights, and we came back for dinner each night. That’s how happy we were with their food.

So if you want a place with good, affordable local food, this is a place I will recommend. As a bonus, they also can do laundry...

For the first time in Indonesia we have got unappetizing food together with tasteless juices mixed with crazily sweetened water. Yes, the price for the “juice” is 15.000 (which is cheap), but if I knew it’s going to be the flavorless sugar drink instead of the juice I wouldn’t spend a penny for that. The food was also disappointing: the fried octopus was pretty rubbery and required to chew each piece for like 0.7-1 minute, otherwise it was painful to swallow them since they were scratching the gullet (and it is still irritated like if I was eating the stones). 10 mins in a raw I was chewing those rubber pieces and couldn’t finish my order anyway, had to seek for my husband’s ‘help’. Fried chicken noodles was okay but very oily for our taste. The couple running this place didn’t seem to be so friendly either. Felt like they were annoyed by something/someone. Pros: napkins/sauces/toothpicks on the tables short waiting time

Please go...
