A Good Experience, Even If Not My Personal Taste The service here was excellent. I initially ordered a medium portion of the grilled pork ribs, but after it was served, I asked to change it to a larger "super" size, and they accommodated my request without any issue—very impressive service! The ribs were okay, but the flavor profile wasn't entirely to my personal taste. Overall, it's still a solid place with great service.

The pork ribs is tasty but not juicy. The meat is also tender. Pocket friendly Prices and it is worth paid for the portions.

I love this restaurant, have been here twice and recommend it to my fellow friends. However, sometimes the foods are not consistent with flavoring and the staff can be reluctant if we want to order the big ribs. But the price and the food are just right and hit the right spot. Recommended but hoping they can fix their service and consistency.

Well-known for their pork ribs, decent but nothing exceptional. Ribs were served lukewarm and tender almost falling off the bone, but whilst tasty, it could use more flavour. Chilli on the side was pretty damn spicy so certainly not for the faint hearted. Enjoyed the meat to fat ratio on the satay. Worth a try if you’re close by in the vicinity but might be too much of a hassle to travel down with the heavy traffic.

Ate permana pork ribs for the third time. The grilled ribs are still delicious, with a cheaper price compared to similar places. The only thing lacking is the dining area is too small, so you have to queue to wait for an empty table, not suitable for those who come with a large group.

Iga Babi Bakar Super was a decent slab of ribs, however not so super. There is definitely room for improvement where they can grill or char their meats to evoke more taste in the meat. This applies to their Sate Babi as well. Felt like it could’ve been cooked a little longer and finished off at a high heat for the charred taste. The chili on the other hand is super fresh and tastes home made. To be cautioned that they are spicy and left my lips stinging for while after. Maybe they’re overly dependent on the chili for the flavours of which I don’t have the same appreciation for. Price point is very affordable. Would I come again? Yes. Definitely better than the over commercialised Naughty Nuri’s whose standard has fallen over the years.

This is our local guide’s favorite place for pork and it did not disappoint. From the ribs to the skewers and veggie sides, everything was absolutely delicious. If you love spicy sauces that are more flavor than heat, try the mild and medium sambal. If you like the heat, they have one that’ll make you . I’m so glad this was our last meal in Bali before heading to the airport.
