Tender Balinese pork ribs glazed in sweet barbecue sauce and layered with fiery sambals draw serious barbecue devotees to this Ubud corner. Seasoned diners bypass the single racks and go straight for the combination platter—a multi-cut feast showcasing spicy sambal matah, sambal hijau, and sweet soy pedas manis. Between savory ribs and heaping plates of nasi goreng, patrons wash down the heat with cold Bintang or iced mango mint tea.
- Multi-Flavor Rib Flights: Combination platters let diners sample across diverse regional glazes, from fresh lemongrass-shallot sambal matah to rich pedas manis.
- Hearty Balinese Barbecue: Generously sauced racks pair alongside comforting Indonesian staples like mie goreng and crispy tempura mushrooms.
- Central Ubud Chill Spot: A relaxed spot to unwind after exploring Ubud streets, complete with attentive floor staff and iced herbal teas.

Frequently Asked Questions
What pork rib flavours and styles can you order?
The signature pork ribs can be ordered in multiple Balinese and classic preparations, including original BBQ, Sambal Matah, Sambal Hijau, and Pedas Manis. Combination platters offering flights of up to 10 flavours are available if you want to sample multiple styles in one sitting.
How long does the food take to arrive during peak times?
Because ribs are freshly grilled and prepared to order, food can take between 30 minutes to over an hour during peak hours or for large table orders. Visiting during off-peak times or ordering drinks and starters can help ease the wait.
Can you make a reservation in advance?
Yes, table reservations are accepted. Making a reservation can help avoid delays or sitting at smaller window-side walk-in counters during busy dinner services.
Is parking available if driving to the restaurant?
Car parking on the street is extremely limited. Reviewers strongly recommend arriving by Grab bike, ride-hailing car, or on foot rather than attempting to self-drive a car.
