There’s a small spot in Jimbaran that’s become one of my most trusted places to eat Indonesian food in Bali: Mrs Widya’s Campur-Campur Restaurant.
I’ve been coming here for years, and it’s the one place I always find myself returning to after a day out in Uluwatu.
It’s not fancy, not hidden, and definitely not one of those Instagram-only cafes. It’s just good, honest Indonesian food served the way it should be, fresh, simple, and full of flavour.
If you’ve ever wanted to try nasi campur but weren’t sure where to start, this place might be the perfect introduction.

About Mrs Widya’s Restaurant
Mrs Widya’s Campur-Campur Restaurant sits on the busy main road just a minute away from the main entrance of GWK Cultural Park in Jimbaran.
It’s technically labeled as a warung, but in reality, it feels more like a casual restaurant with a traditional Indonesian joglo design. You’ll notice its rustic wooden structure, open-air seating, and the warm, home-style vibe as soon as you walk in.
The setup is simple: a large glass display cabinet filled with trays of different dishes, and a friendly team behind the counter ready to help you pick what you want.
It’s popular with both locals and tourists, especially those driving back from the Uluwatu area looking for an authentic meal that’s still clean and safe to eat.
What makes this place stand out is how approachable it feels. The staff are used to first-timers who might not know what “nasi campur” means, so they’re patient and often explain each dish with a smile.
There are even small signs in Russian and Chinese to help you identify what’s on offer — a small touch that makes the experience easier for travelers.
Whether you’re dropping by for lunch after exploring GWK or stopping for dinner on your way back from the beaches, Mrs Widya’s has that reliable mix of comfort, flavor, and local charm that’s hard to find elsewhere in Jimbaran.
The Nasi Campur Explained
If you’re new to Indonesian food, nasi campur literally means “mixed rice.” It’s basically a plate of rice with a bunch of small dishes: vegetables, meats, spicy sauce, tempe, tofu, and whatever else is available that day.
Think of it as Bali’s answer to a buffet, except it’s way more flavorful and personal.
You point at what you want from the display cabinet (aka the ‘touch screen’), they pile it on your plate, and you pay based on how many toppings (lauk) you choose.
The beauty of nasi campur is that you can make it your own. Want it spicy? Add sambal. Vegetarian? Skip the meat. Craving seafood? Grab some fish skewers.
It’s also one of the best ways to try a variety of local dishes without going overboard, and it’s usually much cleaner than random street food stalls, which is why Mrs Widya’s is such a great middle ground for tourists.
Mrs Widya’s Campur-Campur Menu
The food here is all about variety. The big yellow glass cabinet at the front is stacked with trays of different dishes: chicken, beef, fish, tempe, tofu, vegetables, sambals, and a few Javanese-style sides.
You point to what you want, and they hand you a small card with your total. Once you’re done eating, you just take that card to the counter and pay. It’s simple and efficient.
They also have a few other dishes outside of nasi campur, things like ayam penyet (fried chicken with sambal and rice) and soto ayam (chicken soup), but the real highlight is still the nasi campur.
What to Order
My go-to plate at Mrs Widya’s Campur-Campur Restaurant never changes. I always go for ayam suwir (shredded chicken), nasi merah (red rice), tahu goreng (fried tofu), sate ikan (fish skewers), and terong balado (spicy eggplant).
Everything tastes clean, not drenched in oil, not overloaded with additives, and definitely not reheated leftovers. You can tell the food is cooked fresh because the trays are constantly being refilled throughout the day.
The chicken is tender and slightly spicy, the tofu crisp on the outside but soft inside, and the eggplant has just enough heat without burning your tongue.
It’s the kind of plate that hits all the right notes: savory, spicy, and satisfying.
Prices are super reasonable. Depending on how many dishes you choose, you’re looking at IDR 35,000 to 50,000 per plate (roughly USD 2–3.50).
Mrs Widya’s Restaurant Reviews
It’s not just me who loves this place. Mrs Widya’s Campur-Campur Restaurant reviews online say the same thing: consistently good food, friendly staff, and fair prices.
The Good
- Many people said the food was amazing, full of flavour, and freshly cooked.
- Reviewers loved the “point and choose” system using the big yellow display cabinet.
- Several mentioned affordable prices, around €2.50–3 (IDR 40k–50k) for a full meal.
- Many appreciated the friendly staff who helped explain each dish, making it easy for first-timers.
- Some said it’s vegetarian-friendly, with tofu, tempe, and vegetable dishes that still taste rich.
- The restaurant feels calm and welcoming inside, even though it sits on a busy main road.
- Visitors liked that food is constantly replenished, so everything tastes fresh.
- A few regulars said they came back multiple times in one trip because it was that good.
- Many considered it one of the best nasi campur spots in the Uluwatu–Jimbaran area.
The Bad
- Some said the portions were small and that certain dishes, like fried rice, felt overpriced.
- A few mentioned the food arrived cold or didn’t match what they expected.
- One review said the rawon soup came without meat, and prices didn’t match the quality.
- A rare complaint mentioned a rude encounter with the owner, describing the service as aggressive.
- A few people said the flavours were too sweet and didn’t represent authentic Indonesian spice.
- Others felt the dishes tasted too similar, with not enough contrast in seasoning.
Personally, my only complaint is that it gets pretty hot and humid inside, especially during the rainy season. There’s no air conditioning, so if you’re sensitive to heat, aim for a visit earlier in the day or after sunset when it’s cooler.
Final Thoughts: Worth Eating Here?
