One chicken curry (IDR 130,000-140,000), one veg curry (IDR 99,000-125,000), a biryani or two naan and two lassis at IDR 50,000 usually lands at IDR 450,000-550,000 before tax, or about IDR 530,000-650,000 (US$33-40) with the 18% added. Lamb rogan josh at IDR 160,000 and prawn masala at IDR 199,000 push the bill up fast.

What are the opening hours?

Sources disagree. Bali Buddies: Monday-Friday 12pm-midnight, Saturday-Sunday 11am-midnight. Honeycombers: daily 10am-midnight. Chope: 9am-midnight. The official site lists no hours. Arriving after noon is safe.

Do you need to book?

For weekend dinners, yes. The official site links to Chope and WhatsApp for bookings, and GoFood and Grab for villa delivery.

What are the downsides?

• The 18% tax and service makes the final bill noticeably higher than menu prices.
• Jl. Pantai Batu Bolong is one of Canggu's most congested roads from late afternoon; car parking is hard, so a ride-hailing bike is easier.
• Many dishes carry a chilli mark. If you do not handle heat well, ask for it milder when ordering.
