Last weekend I dined at Sambal Bali, a halal Indonesian Cuisine Restaurant. The owner and the staffs are fully Japanese, but the restaurant itself is so Indonesian.
Sambal Bali has the restaurant decorated with authentic Indonesian touch and Balinese music. Not like other Indonesian restaurant you might find in Japan or Tokyo, this restaurant has Balinese Cuisine as its main focus. I have never been to Bali and not really familiar with Balinese cuisine though. It is kind of funny to have my first Balinese cuisine in Japan. Fortunately I came with a friend who has been to Bali and know how the Balinese Cuisine taste like.
Sambal Bali pride is their “Ayam Betutu”, a menu with chicken cooked with rich spices and have spicy tastes. For this Ayam Betutu, they make the spicy taste into 3 options: Light, Spicy, and Extra Spicy. We took the light one and it is very spicy, wow! Can you imagine if you take the Extra Spicy one? My friend said that this Ayam Betutu tastes like real Ayam Betutu he had back in Bali. As the first timer to have this Ayam Betutu, I like it soooo much! And it is only 900 yen. You must try, you know!
Other than Ayam Betutu, we also tried gado-gado, beef curry, soto ayam (this is yumm!), and assorted sate consisted of beef, lamb, shrimp, squid, chicken, and lilit sate. We had mango pudding with coconut milk as our dessert. It is so good like heaven. Very suitable to balance your taste buds after having the spicy Ayam Betutu.
The price here is not to expensive, it is average like you can find in most normal restaurants. For the prayer space, I am not sure because we did not rush for the pray time. Maybe you can ask the staff and they will be glad to provide space for you to pray.
