Shared Experiences
Guestbook
“ All of the staff are amazing. Professional. Efficient. We have never had a bad meal. We go almost every day of our trip over the last 3 holidays. Our favourites are the nasi goreng. And chicken satay with rice. I also enjoy getting it as takeaway if I want a quiet meal in my hotel room. Be sure to give a nice generous tip, because the food prices are so low. And the staff and owner deserve to be looked after. ”
“ Ate twice here during our 5 days in Kuta (a short walk) and glad we did - actually came 3 times not realising that it is CASH ONLY, so unfortunately with no cash on hand we came back the next night and it was that good we came again ... clean, large menu selection, really good food and service . Note that it does get busy, but the service was fast. Also some great specials like the 1/2 lobster and also the chilli crab - highly recommend the mixed plate of sliders - an absolute fab dish. ”
“ Great place for breakfast lunch and dinner, it's a cash only venue as is always full, we go there regularly for breakfast or lunch ”
“ Delicious mixed nasi goreng for breakfast. Hubby had a rolled omelette filled with mushroom & capsicum with toast on the side. Mug of long black coffee each. Orange juice (I love the orange juice in Bali. I don't drink juice in Australia). Refresher drink for my husband (coconut, pineapple, lime, mint). All for around $30. ”
“ Overpriced, no atmosphere or the usual happy Bali welcoming compared to other eateries. In my opinion, juices were delicious but the food was disappointing,small sized meals, lacked flavour poor description of dish e.g. no mention of floured coating on breast chicken. I would not recommend , I will not return as there are so many better places to eat at half the price. ”
