Really nice restaurant. I have only words of good about this place. The food is delicious, would not change anything to it, perfectly seasoned, the ingredients go so well with one another. So colorful, so tasty.
The service was also very nice, really helpful, happy to have us there. There is something special about a restaurant when you feel like eating as if you would eat at home.
Price wise is really affordable for the service quality and high class dishes.
I am really happy I had the chance to try some dishes from here and I highly recommend it.

Went here two times. Both times our meal was absolutely astonishing. Not only the taste but also the looks, the atmosphere and the staff was also extremely friendly and nice. It's a bit more expensive than other restaurants in the area but for the products I think it is well worth it. Also I would recommend ordering a starter since the main dish isn't that big and the starter are also great. But all in all very great experience and the food is extraordinarily good and also very exquisite with unique dishes

Not recommended !!, we ordered the menu (which was not cheap) and the amount of each dish was very small, unlike other tables, we were not brought complimentary nachos. The entrance did not have a characteristic flavor. When they brought my plate, they practically threw it at me. As a recommendation, it would be good if the spicy dishes indicated the level of itching, because mine was unable to eat it. As for the dessert, it looked more cute than it delivered ... you are also spicy! Basically, bad place to dine.

Best food I have tasted in Bali. No joke.

Cuisine seems like a mix between thai and mexican, but it has its own Balinese flavors of chilis, herbs and spices.

One of the best places to find Balinese Sambal. Such a fine balance of ginger within the slices of chili and onion. Not spicy, reminded me of an asian pico de gallo.

Ambiance is dimly lit on the inside. Fresh feels and clean. Reminds me of a jungle.

Super crispy calamari served with fried basil and onion. Thick pieces. Slice of lime served to squeeze. There was a hint of coconut throughout the juicy, crunchy bites.

We had a group of 9 and our food al came out at different times. That was hard because some of our group members were hungry.

Their red wine was delicious. We got the cab from Australia.

Most of our group ordered the duck sandwiches. Served open faced with fresh lettuce and chips on the side.

Short ribs were well seasoned and saucy. Thick chunks of meat with only 1 piece of bone in the whole presentation.

I highly enjoyed their prawn and mango salad. Came with giant chunks of in-season mango Topped with mint, basil and served over glass noodles.

Fish tacos were delicious. Served on butter lettuce cups and topped with peanut sauce. All of it was so fresh

Smoking allowed outside the restaurant only.
Credit cards accepted. No split bills over 2, we had 9 and just paid cash.

Walking down Gootama there are plentiful choices of food options ranging from street food to high end cuisine.

Sambal Matah falls into the latter, but is affordable and offers an exciting fusion cuisine.

The menu is not large but daily specials make them a restaurant you can go to regularly without worrying about having to order the same dish again!

The food quality and freshness if amazing. They do great work with their seafood and their sauces are absolutely stunning.

This restaurant is one of the best in Ubud. Albeit it’s not near a river or on a bridge, in my opinion if the food and company is good: you don’t need those things!

Small n beautiful restaurant that served fusion food in Indonesian spices n herbs, absolutely novel in flavour n presentation. Salad with Balinese sauces, burgers with satay sauces, roast pork belly with Indonesian spices, all absolutely yummy.

Sorry no food photos, as the restaurant is quite dark ????

Ambience is nice, but the food is only ok. Average.

Ordered Gado - Gado. Not as authentic as other places. We also ate crispy pork, and it was hard as stone. Over cooked and dry.

Saving grace, they were gracious to exchange for another portion.
