About Pondok Mina

Perched over tranquil freshwater ponds in Karangasem, Pondok Mina pairs live-netted fish with pungent Balinese spice pastes. Open-air bale pavilions hover directly over swimming carp, offering road-weary travelers an easy breather between Tirta Gangga and Amed. Diners swear by the crisp-fried gurame and rich gurame bumbu nyat-nyat, flanked by fiery sambals, plecing kangkung, and communal megibung sharing platters.

  • Bale Dining Over Water: Guests eat in shaded open-air pavilions built directly over freshwater ponds where carp swim below.
  • Fresh Gurame Specialties: Fresh carp prepared crisp-fried or braised in rich nyat-nyat and aromatic pepes spice blends.
  • Communal Megibung Feasts: Sprawling communal megibung sets bring grilled prawns, pepes, fried fish, and plecing kangkung to group tables.

  • Communal Multi-Dish Feast Packages

    The kitchen offers generous combo meals like the paket Megibung and comprehensive 4-person platters that include fish, prawns, and side dishes at accessible pricing.

    They have a package for 4 people and the price is not really expensive. The food taste is so local but it’s delicious.

  • Convenient Transit Stop Near Tirta Gangga

    Situated right on the main thoroughfare from Amlapura toward Amed, the venue is an ideal rest and lunch stop after visiting Tirta Gangga or Pura Lempuyang.

    Untuk lokasi pondok mina cukup lumayan dekat dadi tirta gangga sekitar 5-7 menit dan sangat mudah dicari karena posisi pas di pinggir jalan utama.
