Tiki Grove is our favourite restaurant on the island. The selection of tacos is great, cocktails are fantastic and choices for all. Highly recommend it.

The problem is with this restaurant is that the menu is very limited. Four different kinds of tacos and a few other dishes. Only really sodas for non alcoholic drinks. The tacos are reasonably good but nothing special. If alcohol is your thing, happy hour...is from 15-17:00.More

Lovely place and must visit imho when you are at Gili. Very good price quality ratio. Lovely atmosphere. Tacos are on par with best taco restaurants in America or Europe. See some complains about the 90 minute stay but to be honest all restaurants in...Indonesie are fast. Didnt mind it at all. Would be a nice extra of you can hang around more for a drink but for now perfectly understand the situation. We had starter, main dish and dessert. LovelyMore

Best restaurant and dining experience in Gili T - five plus stars and a must visit! We’ve been traveling through Bali for 3 weeks and this is hands down the best dining experience we’ve had! The owners, Tommy and Catherine, a couple originally from Canada,...are the best hosts and run an immaculate restaurant with exceptional service, tasty drinks, and delicious food. Since we heard the restaurant gets booked up every night, we made a reservation for a party of 6 well ahead of time and they greeted us as soon as we arrived. This restaurant is off the main strip and is quaint, cozy, and intimate. They have a limited amount of tables and bar seats because service is a priority for them. And the staff and service was beyond attentive and amazing. The handcrafted tiki cocktails were strong, delicious, and creative. Make sure you order the Shark Bite cocktail and see the celebration that comes with it! The food was excellent - we ordered one of everything on the menu and it did not disappoint. Their tacos were on par with what you would find at the best taco shops in California. So delicious! Such a fun night! I highly recommend Tiki Grove if you’re visiting Gili T!More

This place is exactly what I was looking for, which is to say: - a fun atmosphere that you can have a conversation with your friends, - all while enjoying some delicious tacos and absolutely awesome creative cocktails - somewhere away from the trashy tourists...you find along the beach road, It ticked all the boxes for me! It was so interesting talking to the owners who are really customer focussed, they strictly limit booking numbers that way they can ensure: - a comfortable environment where people have their personal space, - the staff (who are so friendly) are not run off their feet, - to ensure that the staff to customer ratio is protected, resulting in timely and attentive service The whole team is so customer focussed, making us feel welcome and valued. So for me this place was fantastic, and unlike most other bars on the island, I didn’t once feel worried that some inebriated person would spill their drink all over me or my wife.. 😊 Thank you so much for a wonderful experience, we will definitely be back!More
