2. Sarong Restaurant

Sarong Restaurant

Almost a decade old, the Sarong Restaurant, may not be among the best Indian restaurants in Bali, but it is the Asian food dream establishment of Chef Will Meyrick. After recipe hunting among street vendors around Asia, the establishment now offers a variety of Asian dishes, evidently starring Indian cuisine. A glance at the menu card won’t let you on this though. Scout a little longer and terms like methi, ajwain, garam masala will begin to pop. A great place for casual dining, the outdoor lounge and bar offer great cocktails and world-class wines. With only limited seating – up to 142 seats – advance booking is highly recommended. But the lounge – waiting area in disguise – is not so bad at all. Look forward to a western interpretation of Indian cuisines.

Flavours ranging from Roti egg, bacon and cheese to peanut butter roti line up the menu. Indian, Indonesian and Western flavours – the polygamy on this one is undeniable. Scan thoroughly. Suffice to say, it isn’t an easy choice to make. While you wait up on that order, holler for a cuppa – a teh tarik, maybe? This frothy goodness will arrive in a mason jar – cardamom sprinkled on froth. Sip on while your roti canai arrives plated as you desire. Watch the world go by here as you savour some Indian food – not desi style.
