Mina Carik, Amlapura: Nyat-Nyat Gourami by the Rice Fields

To eat at Warung Lesehan Mina Carik, budget about IDR 50-75k per person and bring cash, because cards and QRIS weren't accepted according to an August 2026 diner review. This fish warung sits on Jl. Achmad Yani, Subagan, on the western side of Amlapura, with floor-seating (lesehan) tables facing rice and corn fields.

What to order

The dish Google reviewers mention most is gurami nyat-nyat: fried gourami under a thick nyat-nyat sauce that is spicy, salty and sour. You can ask for it non-spicy, and there's a chicken version. It comes with white rice and plecing kangkung, then slices of papaya and watermelon to finish. The grilled fish gets frequent praise too. One August 2026 reviewer found the fried fish disappointing, and staff offered to replace it or take it off the bill. If you don't eat fish, there's ayam taliwang or fried rice. The menu is mostly in Indonesian.

What it costs

The aggregator Locallya lists IDR 50-75k per person, checked October 2026. Per-dish prices aren't published online, so ask the fish price before ordering, especially in a group.

When to go

Google's hours data says it opens 9am-10pm daily, except Thursday, when it opens at noon. Come for lunch or by late afternoon at the latest. After dark the rice-field view disappears, and some diners found the fish sold out by evening.

Verdict

Google rating 4.4 from 814 reviews (as quoted by Wanderlog, October 2026). Its strengths are flavour, price and setting, plus a kids' playground. Its weakness is speed: an August 2026 reviewer waited around 30 minutes on a quiet, rainy day. It's not a good fit if you're in a hurry, eating alone (a whole fish is a lot for one), or using a wheelchair, as there's no accessible access. Older reviews also mention insects at night. GrabFood orders are possible, but reviewers warn they can be slow.

Make it lunch after Puri Agung Karangasem in the town centre, then head to Taman Ujung in the late afternoon once the sun has softened.
