We dined here twice during our stay on Gili Air, visiting on both nights. Despite the restaurant being consistently crowded with all tables occupied, the service remained prompt and efficient. On both occasions, we encountered an issue where certain dishes listed on the menu were unavailable, with different items sold out each night. While this was a bit disappointing, the menu still offered a sufficient variety of options to choose from, so we never felt at a loss for choice.
This situation highlights a common challenge on a small island like Gili Air: restocking supplies isn't as straightforward or swift as it might be on the mainland. Limited access to resources and the logistical hurdles of transporting goods to the island can lead to occasional shortages. However, the restaurant manages this well by maintaining a diverse menu, ensuring that even with some items sold out, diners can still find something appealing to order.
Overall, our experience was positive. The bustling atmosphere added to the charm of the place, and the staff's ability to provide quick service in a full house was commendable. The minor inconvenience of unavailable dishes was easily outweighed by the quality of the food and the efficient, friendly service.
