Bali Nights

Warm, fragrant and alive with activity until the early hours; this is how many of us imagine Bali nights to be, and that's what has formed the beautiful foundation of this award-winning restaurant.

Yes, it might be in Ponsonby, but that doesn't mean that you can't immerse yourself in the sights, smells and sounds of a tropical paradise a few hours' plane ride away. Bali Nights does everything it can to keep the good vibes going by modelling its restaurant on an Indonesian warung (street food stall). Pops of colour, be they a vibrant orange stool or bright blue table, bring the party feels whilst the exposed kitchen, bamboo structures and hubbub land you straight in street food culture.

And they're putting smiles on faces through delicious street food eats that are exactly like the real thing. Get stuck into some small plates like ayam goreng, sate kambing and risole to tickle the appetite, then feel free to move onto bigger plates. From the Beef and Vegan Rendang to Indo-Dutch specialties and a selection of sambals (no Indonesian menu is complete without them), there's no shortage of choice.

Simpler dishes include fried rice and noodles that are joined by fried chicken, fried eggs, vegetable fritters, tofu and fresh veggies. And if all this eating is making you thirsty, rehydrate with their selection of authentic Indonesian drinks and non-alcoholic cocktails.
