Steak Nights and Poolside Calm at The Island Grill & Lounge
Grill smells off Jalan Kunti I
Set back on Jl. Kunti I No.9 in Seminyak, The Island Grill & Lounge sits away from the main beach roads, sharing its address with The Island Hotel Bali. Guests describe it as calm compared with busier streets, yet close enough to reach when you’re hungry for steak, satay or a late cocktail by the pool.
From Aussie steak to tandoori pizza
This is very much a carnivore’s place. Reviewers rave about rib eye and Aussie steaks “cooked to perfection”, thick-cut fries some guests compare to duck-fat chips, and mixed platters around 800 that feed more than one person. Diners also single out chicken satay, grilled ribs, ceviche, octopus and a Balkan-style cevapi made from beef and lamb with sour cream and pita.
Beyond the grill, people mention tandoori pizza, butter chicken, naan cheese, biryani and grilled chicken so good one guest reordered it straight away. Burgers come on brioche buns – great for some, too sweet for at least one child.
Atmosphere, timing and price
Open kitchen views and neat presentation earn praise as “very clean” and “5 stars” from several Google reviewers. Lunchtimes can be quiet, with evenings described as much busier and occasionally paired with live entertainment. One French-language market report notes a typical schedule of 07h00 – 23h00, covering breakfast through dinner.
Most guests find prices fair or “great value for money”, but a few warn that a big night here can become “the second most expensive thing you buy while in Bali”. The same analysis highlights a generally affordable positioning for Seminyak, with the caveat of intense local competition.
Service with names and faces
Service is where this place wins repeat visitors. Reviews from 2023–2024 on Google and other platforms praise “really friendly” staff, attentive waiters and small celebrations like a complimentary dessert for an engagement. Individual servers such as Darma, Mia and Rye are remembered by name.
There are a few notes on slow service at busy times and one comment about weak product knowledge from a newer staff member, but these are outnumbered by stories of staff going out of their way to help.
Finding it and who it suits
Being tucked into Jalan Kunti I means less casual foot traffic and a few reports of it being slightly harder to find if you’re not staying at the hotel. Once you do, expect steaks, satay and mixed grills in a relaxed setting that regulars visit every trip to Bali.
Travellers who care more about well‑cooked meat, kind staff and a laid‑back lounge feel than being on the main drag of Seminyak will get the most out of The Island Grill & Lounge.
