Gate-side Indonesian comfort at Waroeng Kita
Inside DPS International departures, Waroeng Kita sits airside past passport control, handy if you still want a last plate of Indonesian food before boarding. It runs from early morning through late-night departures, roughly 06:00 to 23:00, catching most long-haul flights to Australia and Asia. Seating is counter-style with a few small tables, so it feels more like a quick-stop warung than a full restaurant.
Prices sit in the mid-airport range: expect about IDR 60,000–90,000 for mains, with bottled water around IDR 15,000 and soft drinks near IDR 25,000. That’s cheaper than some of the Western chains closer to the big duty-free shop, and the portions run larger than what you’ll get from the grab‑and‑go coolers. You pay at the counter first, then wait for your number to be called.
Menu focus is Indonesian standards: nasi goreng, mie goreng, ayam goreng, plus a few simple soups and vegetable sides. Spice levels skew tourist-friendly, so if you want more heat, ask them to add extra sambal when you order. Figure on 10–15 minutes from ticket to plate during normal traffic; around the evening bank of flights to Singapore and Kuala Lumpur, it can stretch closer to 20 minutes.
If you’re flying Domestic, note that this Waroeng Kita is in the International terminal only, after security and immigration, so you can’t walk over from Domestic once you’re checked in. There are similar warung-style places in Domestic, but they don’t share this exact menu or pricing. Card payment works fine here, but smaller banks sometimes trigger verification delays, so having at least IDR 100,000 in cash helps.
Tip: if your gate is in the higher teens, leave Waroeng Kita about 20 minutes before boarding time; the International pier at DPS can feel longer than it looks on the map and boarding for Bali flights often starts a solid 40 minutes before departure.
