About Mama's Warung

Tucked away in the heart of Ubud, Mama's Warung offers an authentic slice of Balinese culture through its masterfully prepared satay dishes. Located on Jl. Tebesaya No.29, this humble eatery stands out not just for its food but for the warmth that radiates from its host, Mama herself. Every dish here sings with intention and care, from the perfectly grilled chicken, beef, and pork satays draped in rich peanut sauce, to the seasonal vegetable noodles that carry a balance of traditional spices and fresh local ingredients.

What truly sets Mama's Warung apart is its soul-warming atmosphere-a cozy, welcoming space that feels less like a restaurant and more like a home-cooked meal shared among friends. The lime and ginger-infused Balinese coconut pancake offers a delicate sweetness that complements the savory highlights beautifully. Not to forget the tofu and tempeh with sambal matah, vibrant and nourishing, showcasing the very best of Ubud’s vegetarian fare.

Dining here is an honor and a privilege, leaving an impression that lingers beyond the final bite. The combination of authentic flavors, thoughtful preparation, and genuine hospitality makes Mama's Warung a must-visit destination for anyone seeking real Balinese cuisine in its purest form. It's a rare place where each meal feels like a heartfelt story, told through spices, textures, and shared smiles.

Beautiful food and the host is just lovely, one of the best dishes I have had in Bali to date. Could tell it was made with care and intention!!

Mama Warung – Ubud, Bali If you’re looking for authentic Balinese flavors, Mama Warung is an absolute gem! The local food here is amazing – super fresh, full of flavor, and cooked with so much heart. Their satay is hands-down the best I’ve had in Bali – perfectly grilled and served with a rich, delicious peanut sauce. And don’t miss the pancakes – soft, sweet, and just the right amount of indulgent. The vibe is cozy and welcoming, like eating in someone’s home. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to experience real, soul-warming Balinese food!

Seasonal Vegetable with Noodle. Cooked Satay Style with Penaut Sauce & Rice with chicken, beef, pork. Lime & Ginger juice Balinese Coconut Pancake.

It was an honor and a privilege to get to eat at this incredible restaurant. Mama is an absolute legend and the pinnacle of hospitality and care. I had the best meal I’ve had to date in Bali, tofu & Tempe with sambal matah. It was absolutely perfect, so nourishing, flavorful, and balanced. I’m in Ubud for another week and I will be eating here daily. Please come here you will not regret it.

Very authentic restaurant, the food was so delicious! Mama is a lovely women too!! Prices are very good too. Definitely recommend going here for dinner - truly great local food

I had a wonderful dining experience! The “Mama”, who was incredibly warm and friendly, made us feel right at home. The food was absolutely delicious, with every dish exceeding our expectations. Overall, it was a very positive and memorable evening. Highly recommend!

​I don’t care where you are in the world right now-you need to get to Ubud, find Mama’s Warung, and order the Tofu and Tempeh Sambal Matah. ​As a vegetarian, I’m always on the hunt for standout dishes, and this is quite literally the best thing I’ve eaten. I actually cannot stop thinking about it. The flavors were balanced perfectly-the freshness of the lemongrass and shallots paired with the protein was incredible. ​My only "critique" (and it’s more of a personal preference than a criticism) is that I would have loved even more chili for an extra kick, but the flavor profile as it stands is flawless. ​If you are in Bali, this is a non-negotiable stop. Best meal in Ubud by far!

We ate Sweet and Sour Pork and Mie Goreng Chicken. Everything was delicious, Mama is a very nice woman who treats you kindly. Thank you for this special lunch we really enjoyed it.
