4.6(4,072 reviews)

About

Bakso Balungan, a local business on Java, sits along Jalan Kaliurang No.km 8 in Ngabean Kulon, Sinduharjo, Kec. Ngaglik, Kabupaten Sleman, Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta 55581, Indonesia. The venue is known for its meatball and bone-based dishes, a staple of the local food scene. Its setting on the Kaliurang road places it within Sleman, north of Yogyakarta, and other cities such as Jakarta, Bandung, Surabaya, Semarang, Malang, Bogor and Solo sit within the wider island network.

Families, couples and solo visitors all find the venue suited to a casual meal, with the shared table style making it easy for groups of any size. First-time visitors can expect a straightforward, no-frills stop where the focus stays on the food rather than on elaborate surroundings. The 4.6 out of 5 score from 4,072 reviews reflects how consistently customers respond to the offering. The listing carries five photographs that show the dishes and the venue itself.

Across Java the year splits into two monsoon phases, so the drier half of the calendar falls between May and September while the wetter half arrives from October through April. Indonesian cooking is bold and spice-driven, built around rice, satay, grilled fish and fresh tropical fruit, and the venue's own menu fits that tradition. Domestic flights and fast boats link Indonesia's islands, and international airports sit on the main islands for arrivals from further afield.

Indonesian serves as the everyday language, while English is common in tourist areas, which helps visitors navigate the island. The venue's Sleman address makes it a practical stop for those exploring Yogyakarta and the surrounding region.
