Cumi Bali

Tried this place today and was really impressed! All the food was delicious — full of flavor and surprisingly healthy. The lady boss mentioned that they cook everything without oil, which is unbelievable considering how tasty it was. You can really tell they put care into making the meals wholesome without compromising on taste. The service was also excellent. All the staff were super friendly and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. Definitely coming back again. Highly recommended!

Excellent food tho a bit pricy. Tab for 2 pax with tax and service charge was $105. All dishes ordered were on point. Ingredients were fresh and good quality. Dishes ordered: Ayam Rendang: not too spicy. Interesting variation from the rendang (beef) we are used to. The rendang sauce was quite heavenly and perfect pairing with white rice. Cumi Bakar : perfectly grilled succulent squid with a delicious paste topping Tauhu Telor: super fluffy omelette with tauhu embedded which has a succinct taste. Chendol: fine shaven ice with a generous helping of accompaniments; grass jelly, red bean, chendol strips and The Gula Melaka syrup was delightful and not too sweet or overwhelming The highlight of the meal must have been the owner walking around with her Michelin Bib Gourmand award, which she had just received. Lol

Pleasantly surprised by the taste of the food. Prices are on the higher side for Indo cuisine but some dishes are worth it.

had a brunch here based on an acquaintance recommendation, its such a hidden gem for an Indonesian cuision🤍 all the food we ordered were the best. definitely to come back and try out another dishes. we had ayam goreng, daging rendang, sambal tauhu tempe, ikan kunyit and sambal terung😍 the staff (Fian) had assisted us very warmly and inviting🙏🏻 thank you and wait for our return in near future!🫰🏻

Sadly, not as I remembered it. The grilled squid was rubbery but the worst was the assam pedas fish. The fish was not fresh at all and the ladies fingers and tomatoes were raw. And the bill was so high- more than a hundred dollars for both of us. Whilst the waiter was pleasant , he came in fresh from a smoke and it was hard. And the door opened to blinding sunshine which made it so uncomfortable where we sat

Don’t understand how they get Michelin Bib gourmand recommendation so many years in a row. Food is below average in our opinion. The highly recommended grilled squid looks so different from the picture on the menu. It lacks the char grilled taste and we couldn’t figured out what is the sauce that was slapped on top. The kang kong is also meh and looks totally different from the picture on menu too. It is one of the worst kangkong we ever ordered. Even I can make better stir fried kang kong! The sate and the tahu tempe are the ‘better’ dishes we ordered, and they are just average. Can’t remember how Indonesian nasi kuning is supposed to taste but we didn’t like theirs. First and last visit. Not worth the price. Drinks are very expensive too!

Albeit being a little on the pricier side, the quality of the food makes up for it. Every dish was enjoyable. Ayam panggang had a nice char to it with a really nice kicap manis marinade. The sambal is chargeable but they’re pretty generous with the serving and has a kick to it. The interior transports you to Bali which was nice - from the decor to the background music, it almost makes you feel like you’re not in Singapore. Will come back to try more of their dishes.
