We had the express lunch menu and all dishes were well portioned and so tasty! Enjoyed the desserts and mocktail drinks too. Service was fantastic - all wait staff were really attentive and friendly.

Dishes were great and reminded us of our long-ago trip to Bali. Very flavorful and not overly spicy (although the homemade sambal will jazz up any dish if you wish) Twice cooked ribs, aged duck and Balinese pork skewers were all standouts. Service was prompt and helpful. Prices were very reasonable. Great experience overall!

Superb restaurant, the pork skewers alone are worth going for, just order a plate of those and just keep the coming.
