Those with large appetites can choose from the "bold and robust" menu: a fragrant lamb pastilla, or barbecued Angus T-bone.

Choose from an expansive menu that combines traditional Balinese spices and recipes with native Australian ingredients—try the crocodile satay.

"The long, narrow dining room at this Indian restaurant is plainly lined with wooden tables on tiled floor, with a few tacky paintings decorating the wall."
Lonely Planet
Top Choice
"It's completely unexceptional from the outside, but the Balinese food created inside by specialist chefs is outrageously good and wholly authentic. "
