Flavor in every bite…read more While walking around downtown Miami, I stumbled upon Bali Cafe and decided to give it a try. When you first walk in, you encounter a decent indoor area, not really a place you want to spend countless hours, but perfectly good for a quick meal. The one thing to note is that strong smells linger in the air. During my visit, service was perfectly fine, quick, helpful, and made sure I always had my glass of water full. But the true star at Bali Cafe is definitely the food. The menu has a wide array of options to choose from, Indonesian staples to sushi (although some options are just different combinations of themselves). You can expect to spend around $20-25 for a decently sized entree. I ordered the Lontong Cap Gomeh, one of their signature dishes. It was definitely tasty; in each bite, I could taste a delicious combination of spices; but it was not the best I have ever had. All in all, if you are craving flavors from Southeast Asia, Bali Cafe is a great alternative in downtown Miami. My Criteria 5 stars: The best food I have ever had, or an excellent option given the price. 4 stars: Good food, a restaurant I look forward to trying again. 3 stars: Good food, a restaurant that I am indifferent to. 2 stars: Below average experience, will not go again. 1 stars: This restaurant should be closed.

4 of us came, we ate and we loved it! The restaurant is…read morelong and not very wide with a vibrant vibe. As we walked deeper in I was surprised at how far back it went. There is one walkway that goes down the middle of the restaurant. That walk way is shared with customers and staff. The staff works incredibly well together within this layout. Our waiter was great. He knew the menu and was able to offer suggestions. Because of the layout there was always wait staff/bus staff close by and stopping by to make sure we were good. One of the owners of the restaurant works the front of the house and does it very well. He stopped by to chat and helped his employees. As we talked he would pick up a plate if we were done with it, he saw we were out of wine and offered more. THE FOOD! This food does not come frozen from a restaurant food delivery service. It is made from fresh ingredients that are crafted into amazing dishes. Each dish we ordered had its own uniquely delicious spice profile that insures none of the dishes taste like another. This includes their amazing Appetizers. When we ordered we did not have to ask the Waiter any questions even though we had never ordered Indonesian food before. the Menu is laid out perfectly. It holds all the info you need for every dish. All the ingredients, the cooking style and a picture. You will be asked if you like mild, medium or hot. We all shared a Lamb dish, a Beef dish, a Shrimp/Noodle dish and a Chicken dish. Each dish was unique, well seasoned and VERY savory. The chili sauce and the sweet soy sauce that are on the table are both delicious. Even the Rice that came with some of these dishes stood out. We will be back with friends and family!

We finally returned to Krakatoa Indonesian Cuisine for the second time yesterday, and we definitely…read morewon't wait that long to visit again. The food and service were a 10/10. After asking about dietary preferences, our server walked us through the menu page by page, pointing out vegan-friendly dishes and offering recommendations, which we really appreciated and were spot on. Following their suggestions, we started with the Tahu Isi: tofu stuffed with fresh broccoli, pan fried and served with homemade peanut sauce - and the Perkedel Jagung: sweet corn fritters drizzled with Indonesian soy sauce. For our entrée, we split the Gecok with tofu as the protein: roasted black sesame, galangal, kaffir lime, shallots, and coconut milk. Everything was packed with flavor, and it was fun experimenting with the sweet and spicy sauces on the table. The corn fritters were lots of fun! They basically popped in your mouth. Krakatoa is a fantastic spot for vegans and vegetarians while still being an easy choice for dining with meat eaters. Looking forward to returning again soon.

We ordered: - Nasi Lemak (the chicken rendang is to die for!) - seafood laksa (with the hint of lime, oh this dish is very well balanced)' - curry puff and roti is crunchy and so tasty. Highly recommend Zee's cooking. Everything we had was so delicious. She also makes vegetarian options. She's very kind and thoughtful. When she found out we're from out of state, she asked if we needed bowls and silverware. Thank you so much, Ms Zee!
