Paul Macmillan Preserved Balinese Heritage Architecture
The venue preserves legacy Balinese architecture featuring high conical ceilings with cane mats, exposed wooden rafters, and unpainted brick pillars.
The conical, high ceiling still has cane mats and wooden rafters. The old brick pillars and walls have been deliberately kept paint-free to gel with its old structure.
Saurabh Interactive Community Live Music Nights
Regular scheduled live music nights welcome diners into an energetic community where guests frequently join in singing and playing alongside the band.
The moment I walk in, the band welcomes me like an old friend, and their energy is contagious.
Ras U-Ahk Welcoming Stage and Sing-Along Camaraderie
Spontaneous jam sessions and an open atmosphere invite diners to step up to the microphone and share songs with fellow patrons.
Stopped by for a drink, and ended up singing my favourite Indonesian song!
michael green Substantial and Affordable Morning Breakfasts
A dedicated morning menu offers hearty breakfast combinations, fresh fruit salads, and banana pancakes at accessible local prices.
It was sizeable, soft and the banana stuffing was just right. The fruit salad was a total surprise.
Saurabh Fresh and Varied Full-Menu Dining
The extensive kitchen menu satisfies diverse palates, ranging from slow-cooked beef rendang to extensive vegetarian curries, noodles, and fried rice.
The fried rice, noodles, curry, soup, and potatoes all deserve a perfect 10/10 rating for their flavors, freshness, and care put into their preparation.

Beef rendang
The beef rang dang here is, seriously, the best I have EVER had anywhere. It's spicy, as you would expect, but at no time is that burn ever allowed to overpower the tastes and mixture of spices that comes with the rest of the meal.
Douglas Jackson Nasi goreng
dinner made up for it when we chose beef burgers and nasi goreng.
Trevor Smyth Mie goreng
Had mie goreng and a coke for lunch. Staff were very friendly. Good place to sit and people watch.
