Cumi Bali

Chinatown & the CBD


Authentic Indonesian cuisine served in unpretentious surroundings. Cumi Bali is named after its speciality squid dish, and it's as melt in your mouth as the menu describes. Also well worth trying is the ikan bakar (fish grilled in 18 different spices), tahu telur (spicy tofu and egg) and sate madura (Javanese-style chicken satay). The exotically sweet cendol dessert is delicious too.
