Indian Downtown Resto Bar Bali
Indian Downtown Resto Bar Bali, Legian
Rooftop curries above Jalan Legian
From late afternoon, the rooftop at Indian Downtown Resto Bar Bali fills with the sounds of Bollywood tracks and clinking glasses above Jl. Legian No. 100. Open daily from 11h00 to 23h00 (sometimes later on week‑ends), it sits right on Kuta’s busiest strip yet feels removed once you climb upstairs.
Location, hours and first impressions
Set on the main Jln Legian artery in Kuta, this is very much a central, walk‑in kind of place, surrounded by bars and shops and fueled by tourist foot traffic. Some listings place it near No. 133, but in practice it’s the same bright, multi‑level spot you see from the street. The email ([email protected]) and phone (+62 812-3701-1168) are the main channels for questions and bookings; there is no clearly active standalone website.
Rooftop mood, shisha and music
Upstairs, diners mention a relaxed, open‑air terrace strung with lights, views over Legian and a casual bar vibe. Several visitors (Google 2024) highlight the shisha—bubblegum and other flavors—describing it as smooth, fragrant and reasonably priced. Downstairs seating is more low‑key but still open to the street, with Indian music and a mix of families, couples and groups.
Curries that taste like home
Indian Downtown scores around 4.7/5 on Google from more than 1 100 reviews, largely on the strength of its food. Butter chicken, chicken tikka masala, mutton masala and pepper chicken masala come up again and again as standouts, along with stuffed parathas, tandoori roti and flaky Kerala porotta. Lassi—especially mango—and chai/Indian tea are often described as comforting and “home‑style”, though a few guests found the mango flavor too faint.
Vegetarian plates and spice levels
Vegetarians are well catered for, with paneer palak, paneer tikka, gobi curries and various naan and paratha praised as fresh and hot. One regular (TripAdvisor 2023) notes that staff generally respect spice requests, yet others report dishes arriving much hotter than “mild”, so it’s worth repeating your preference clearly. Portions strike some diners as generous and others as on the small side, especially for breads.
Biryani, pricing and wait times
If there is a weak spot, it’s the biryani. Several reviews call it average or lacking depth, while a few others enjoyed it, so expectations should be moderate. Prices are viewed as slightly high for Bali—one dinner for 2 reached 731K—especially as curries do not automatically include rice or roti. Most nights service is described as warm, attentive and even kid‑friendly, but there are also reports of serious delays, with mains arriving close to an hour after ordering on busy evenings.
Who will enjoy it most
This is best for travellers wanting reliably bold North Indian flavors, shisha and a soft‑nightlife rooftop right in the heart of Kuta, and who are comfortable paying a bit more—and perhaps waiting a bit longer—for the setting and the taste.
