Bali Bali is a family run Indonesian restaurant at 150 Shaftesbury Avenue, between Covent Garden and Leicester Square. Established in 1986, its intimate dining room offers a warm setting for lunch, dinner, meals before a West End performance and group occasions built around shared food.
Satay brings skewered meat together with a rich and savoury sauce, while slow cooked rendang develops deep flavour from spices and coconut. Starters, salads and vegetable dishes introduce the fresh, aromatic and spicy contrasts found across Indonesian cooking, with sambal available for diners who want extra heat.
Nasi goreng combines fried rice with meat and seafood in a gently spiced preparation, while noodle dishes and substantial curries provide further options. All meat is halal, and vegetarian choices make it practical for mixed groups to order a range of plates around the table.
The rijsttafel presents several dishes with rice and gives newcomers a broad introduction to the cuisine in one meal. Special lunch and theatre menus suit diners working to a schedule, while group menus can be arranged for larger parties seeking a varied Indonesian spread in the West End.
