Kayu Manis Kitchen & Bar

November 10, 2025

Super cute new café tucked just behind the main street — it had only been open for three months when we visited. Definitely worth stopping by! The staff were incredibly friendly, and the decor was beautiful and trendy. We ordered the Schnitzel Bennedict for breakfast, and it was an absolute must-try — delicious and so well presented. The quality of the food for the prices was outstanding. We wish we’d had time to come back and try the lunch menu because breakfast was such a hit! If you’re on Gili T, make sure to pop in here for a meal — you won’t regret it. 🌴☕🍳

Great food and service. Well worth going to! Our server was awesome, so happy and informative. Food was fresh and tasty, drinks were cold and delicious, and came to the table very quickly. Salmon was incredibly well cooked - soft and falling apart. Flavors in both our dishes we fantastic. Very clean and tidy, server made a point in saying that they only use filtered water in meals, drinks and cooking. Outdoor area has good fans and shade sales to get a break from the heat.

Kayu Manis was our first stop in Gili to grab some food. It was a super hot day and since the place is open (only fans, no AC), it was a bit tough to manage the heat. The staff, however, were really sweet. The guy who attended us welcomed us warmly, explained that they use packaged water, and made us feel comfortable. We ordered a wrap (served with fries) and a cold coffee. Honestly, the food wasn’t that great. The wrap was pretty small and felt overpriced for the portion and taste. The cold coffee was decent, but I’ve had better. Overall, I’d rate this place 3 stars—mainly for the hospitality, but food-wise it didn’t impress me

Came twice for breakfast and delicious and beautifully presented both times. Smoothie bowl was a generous portion, colorful and made me happy. Coconut coffee was lovely. Chicken schnitzel eggs benedict was also tasty. Staff kind, warm, genuinely friendly and attentive. Good job guys!

Would give 10 stars if I could! Came here for breakfast yesterday which was amazing and then back for dinner tonight which was equally as good! I had the French toast for breakfast and the brekky burger for dinner. I was really craving a proper burger and boy did they deliver! The patty was so juicy and you could tell that they use high quality meat. The addition of fried egg and hash brown also made it for me. The staff are super friendly and attentive, they explained that they only use bottled water for all their food prep and drinks and ice from a proper distributor making both the water and ice safe to consume which is really important as I’ve been very wary of ice and water whilst in Bali. The restaurant itself is very aesthetic and the atmosphere is great, with great music playing.
