Our experts’ experience from HOME by Chef Wayan

Reservation

Reservations are recommended, especially for dinner. This can be done via WhatsApp or Instagram. Walk-ins are welcome, but keep in mind that their seats are limited.

Parking

There is a small parking area in front of the restaurant, enough for motorbikes and a few cars. But, since the surrounding streets are quite narrow, we recommend coming by motorcycle or an online taxi.

Service

Their service team is super friendly and informative, with in-depth knowledge of the menu. Chef Wayan even comes out often to greet guests, adding to the warm and personalized feel. Their small team is very informative, full of smiles, and open to explaining the details of the food, the local ingredients used, and the philosophy behind each dish.

Stumbled across this place online when I was looking for a suitable place to celebrate a relative’s birthday. Making a reservation was easy and the team was very responsive. The restaurant is small but cosy, which was a good fit for us. Honestly, every dish we had here was a pleasant surprise, from the terung bakar (grilled eggplant) with its tasty sauce to the tangy and refreshing pomelo rojak as well as the melt in your mouth babi bali, everything not only looked good but tasted amazing. Overall it was an excellent experience, and I would make it a point to visit HOME again on my next visit.

It was my first time to Chef Wayan but my husband had been previously… It was a wonderful surprise to find such amazing Indonesian food in such a lovely setting We shared the spring rolls which were amazing, fresh crunchy and very tasty We also had the shrimp snd pomelo salad which was vibrant and packed a wonderful taste.. My husband had the fish and said it was delicious and not over cooked which we find happens a lot here.. I had a pan fried chicken dish In a sort of curry sauce which had veg in I would have liked it a little spicier but next time I’ll jsut ask to spice it up or get some fresh chopped chilli But all in all it was a lovely lunch and looking forward to returning soon
