  Despite the humble decoration, Melati offers authentic Indonesian cuisine, in particular Balinese local food.

  Been here couple of times, most of the food are tasty, representing authentic Indonesian distinctive taste which tend to use herbs and spices

  We went here for dinner and it was very quiet in the restaurant on a Saturday night. Not having been here before, we opted for the Set A banquet, which was very well priced for the amount we got.

  Service was wonderful – warm, super friendly and attentive. The timing of the courses being delivered was perfect. We never felt rushed and they were delivered right after we had finished the previous one.

  Food was also excellent. Felt like it was more on the traditional end of Indonesian cooking which we appreciated. The mixed crackers, corn fritters and sausage were excellent starters, with bright flavours and smartly sized portions. The chicken and pork mains were also both excellent, with the spice and sweet coconut of the snake bean salad cutting through the fatty, crispy pork and sweet, well spiced, smoky chicken. The salad may actually have been the pick of the dishes for mine.

  We finished with tea and two desserts, which were both enjoyable and well presented. We left full, happy and having only spent a touch over $30 a head for an excellent dinner. No complaints from me.

  Food : 4/5
  Ambience : 3/5
  Service : 4/5
  Value : 4/5
  Would I revisit : 3/5

  Friend and I went for the Set B banquet meal that comes with the below :
  – crackers : very flavourful and varied,
  – milk tea : average, not very sweet (to our liking), quite a balanced flavour but obvious use of typical bubble tea shop milk powder
  – corn fritters and beef curry puff : both with interesting flavours served with sirarcha mayo and sweet chilli sauce. corn fritters have a nice touch of curry taste and although beef curry puff was tasty, the serving was unexpectedly small
  – gado-gado : not much to comment on this because this cannot go too wrong, interesting choice of vegetables with tasty peanut sauce
  – lamb curry : definitely wasnt my favourite as the lamb taste was abit too strong
  – Chicken satay : meat was really soft and served with a good sort of peanut sauce combination

  Overall service was good (we were the only customer there) and they were flexible with us changing some of the choices on the banquet (we replaced the spring rolls with corn fritters). Was slightly worried at the start that there wont be enough food for 2 but we left the place being really full so value was good. Ambience wasnt too bad and I personally enjoyed the music a lot! As for food, Id say theyre pretty average, no wow factor but wouldnt mind returning.
