Naughty Nuri’s Warung has four restaurants in Klang Valley. The closest outlet to downtown Kuala Lumpur is located in Life Centre. The eatery is packed with customers during lunch hours, thanks to the large number of offices in the vicinity.
The restaurant’s dining section has a welcoming ambiance. Wooden tables and rattan chairs present an exotic Balinese charm. In addition, rattan ornaments and warm lighting hang from the ceiling.
The Tiki bar stocked with a wide variety of alcoholic beverages including beers, martinis, mojitos and sangrias. For customers who need some privacy, an exclusive dining section is available. There is also a section of the restaurant where Balinese handicraft is sold.
Naughty Nuri’s specializes in Balinese barbecued meat especially pork. For this month, the restaurant offers 50% discount on a selected menu of signature dishes. This promotion only applies on weekdays and before 3:00pm.
The most popular dish at Naughty Nuri’s is the Signature BBQ Spare Ribs (RM24.50). This pork dish is a must when visiting for the first time. The half rack of juicy pork ribs is marinated with flavorful spices from Bali, and then grilled over fire while being basted with savory sauce. Using the word “gratifying” to describe this dish would be an understatement.
Another crowd favorite is Nasi Goreng (RM12.50). Seasoned with special dark sauce from Bali, the fried rice is cooked with mixed vegetables, onions and chili peppers. Roasted pork belly, fried egg and prawn crackers are also added. The overall taste and aroma are mouthwatering indeed.
BBQ Satay Lilit (RM13.00) is marinated with lemon juice, pepper, shallots and other spices. Unlike regular satay, BBQ Satay Lilit is wrapped around lemongrass stalks. This helps to impart a distinctive aroma to the skewered pork. In fact, the Indonesian word “lilit” means “to wrap”.
Nuri’s Punch (RM28.80) is a mixed fruit punch that contains lemongrass, lychee, pickled plums and mint leaves. This is one of the two drinks that is served in a large jug; the other is Lemongrass Ginger Fizz. The 50% discount does not apply to drinks.
Naughty Nuri’s is one of the best barbecue franchises in town. Not only is the food superb, the restaurant’s ambience and hospitality are commendable too. Although the regular menu is quite pricey, the restaurant offers special promotions from time to time. In fact, I am eager to try the Snout To Tail Buffet on Sunday noon.
