Editor’s Note

Last updated 30 May 2026

Our take: Bali Nasi Lemak, established in 1985, is known for its artisanal approach to nasi lemak, differentiating itself from its sister brands, Ponggol and Mount Faber Nasi Lemak.

We note the long-grain basmati rice is often described as moist and fragrant, though light on coconut milk.

The free-flow cucumbers are a consistent highlight.

Signature items include the stir-fried petai with shallots and wing beans, and the ayam kicap manis (sweet and spicy soy sauce chicken wing), which is praised for its tender and juicy texture.

However, some diners have reported the chicken dishes to be dry and hard, which is a significant concern given their premium pricing.

The otah, with visible fish chunks, also receives positive mentions.

While the air-conditioned environment and late operating hours (until 2 am) are appreciated, there are inconsistencies in pricing, particularly with takeaway charges, which some customers find unreasonable.

We think the unique Indonesian-inspired sides like petai and the specific preparation of the ayam kicap manis are the main draw here.

Best for those looking for a nasi lemak with unique side dishes, especially for a late-night meal.

Be prepared for potentially higher prices and check your bill carefully.

Went for late dinner after seeing good reviews. Aircon place, ambience not bad, not much people, $10 for the plate in the picture. Rice was pretty fragrant & vege, ikan bilis, samba were decent.…

For a styrofoam takeaway box the staff charge me additional 30cents for takeaway, is this reasonable? If it’s plastic box I can understand, why charge for takeaway with only styrofoam box? My previou…

We ordered two dishes as per the uploaded photo. It cost $11 or $11.50. It’s neither cheap nor expensive. But the food was good. Given the clean and aircon environment, it was probably justified. Ther…
