Bali Brasserie in Brighton and Hove

We were celebrating a friend's birthday. A brilliant evening with great company, good food & service & entertainment.

I’ve not been here for about 30 years. It was every bit as good as I remember. Atmosphere, service and food all 5*. Won’t leave it another 30 years!!! Apparently the same owner and this is testament of a great place. Back soon Sarah

I went with a group of eight for my birthday. What a super time we had. Attentive staff, great food and reasonable prices. Lovely ambience. I highly recommend it for anyone who likes very tasty dishes from Indonesia or Malaya; full of variety. We shall return for an Xmas meal.

Excellent service but found the food a little sweet for my palate.

What a wonderful experience. We had dinner here with friends. The food was incredible, I have never tasted anything like it. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Jason Lee was the entertainer for the evening. Oh what a wonderful voice that man has and what a brilliant entertainer! It was my first time here, it definitely won't be the last!

It's absolutely amazing. We had a wedding up there and everything was amazing.

I must have missed the review where it was advised that this was a karaoke bar as well as an Indonesian, I’d decided that I really wanted an Indonesian, the location choices were Birmingham, London or Brighton. We chose Brighton, the restaurant/bar was pretty much deserted, although there was a crowd of people in the Karaoke bar. I thought ok, I can live with that, as I was really looking forward to a Rijsttafel (rice table) only to be disappointed as they only do that two nights a week and not on the night we were there. I ordered a couple of dishes off the menu, they were ok, nothing special.

Attentive and prompt service, good food and a fun, unexpected karaoke on the evening we dined. Happy to recommend this restaurant for a good meal out.

Tasty mouth watering food but the portions are small. Friendly staff. Quick service.

We went this evening for an amazing meal here. The service was great and the food was fresh and delicious. We had the satay chicken and the beef rendang. Highly recommend

Everyone is amazing making the atmosphere so much fun, food is delicious too! Such a great evening - big thank you to TC and his whole team tonight! I will be back!

14 ladies out for a good evening! We had a fabulous evening at the Brasserie last Sunday, from the booking the service, food, and karaeoki entertainment was superb, 1st class venue clean helpful. Really felt looked after. Thankyou to the manager bar and kitchen staff you made it extra special. We will Definately be back.

We came for my birthday having wanted to visit for a number years. It’s location is unusual being positioned within the ground floor of a Residential block, however, that shouldn’t affect people wanting to go, as the food was delicious and it’s something different from a more typical Indian Curry House. I have never tried cuisine from Bali/Indonesia before and we highly recommend this restaurant, with its long history in Brighton&Hove. The service was personal & attentive & we were made to feel very welcome. Definitely recommend.

Had a dinner at this restaurant during my visit to Brighton in the spring. This family run restaurant has been in the area for more than 30 years. Met Mr TJ the owner, a gentleman originally from Kuala Lumpur. The most astounding meal I had was the satay, prawn sambal, beef rendang and mix vegetables soup. A great place to taste Malaysian Indonesian dishes.

The food here is amazing- a real feast for your tastebuds. I couldn’t decide between 2 main courses so asked for advice and ordered the Kachang kuda which was extraordinary and exactly to my taste. The food is also very reasonably priced. The staff clearly know the food and are so friendly and helpful it made for a fantastic evening with friends. We all said that we will definitely be back - Elvis or karaoke…not sure which yet!

Fantastic place, had a really lovely family meal. A lovely welcome and great food

The food was absolutely delicious. Had the dumpling starter and sambal udang main - a generous healing of prawns packed with flavour. The chicken, fish and vegetarian mains ordered by my friends also did not disappoint. The atmosphere is relaxed and has a cool retro vibe. The service is extremely friendly and welcoming. Will be returning and would definitely recommend.

Verry tasty food excellent service friendly staff

Been meaning to try this place for years and finally got to try it. Wasn't disappointed. Opted for the "Rice Table" - basically served starters and help yourself mains. Fantastic tasty food and great friendly and attentive service. Lovely spacious bar drinking area. Thoroughly recommende

Amazing food, especially the spicy prawns. We were a large party served with the set 3 course menu. Soup, starter and buffet. Lovely.

Lovely place, didn't know it existed until today. Glad we came, was really nice. Will definitely return

What a wonderful hidden gem. The food and hospitality are first class. We went on a Tuesday evening when a most amazing value menu is on offer. I had the chicken satay and beef rendang - my daughter and her partner chose vegan options - all good. Drinks list good too. A must visit!! Look forward to returning when back in Brighton.

Amazing night at Bali Brasserie. Fantastic food, the service was excellent and of course Elvis was in the building!! We sang we danced and we laughed. Such a good night. Highly recommend

A hidden gem, the food is 100% on point. Real authentic Malaysian food. Super delishes. Epic in house made Sambal. A must place to visit. Sevice was great. And the owners a beautiful to chat with. 3 of us ate, 1st time so we decided to have 1-2 items of the whole menu dived between 3, bill came to £40 each including to beers each. 3 was enough foid to easily feed 5. Faultless from start to finish. Already booked to go back again.

Such an enjoyable eve , lovely staff , delicious food , quality food at a good price never disappoints Will def be booking again soon Thank u

Lovely venue, food was lovely and staff were really nice, would definitely go back.

The place is quirky but in the good way. Service was good. Food made fresh and really good quality. Would thoroughly recommend if one likes this kind of cuisine

Great evening' buffet with live music from Suspiciously Elvis. First (soup) and second (satay) courses served to the table, then help yourself to the constantly refreshed selection of delicious dishes from the main menu.

They all really try very hard to look after you & do an amazing job!

A literal hidden gem, tucked back into the fold, yet right off the ocean front. It's so unassuming, yet the flavors are authentic and rich. They have a nice selection of Balinese and Malay food as well which totally compliment each other. Order the appetizer platter to start and you won't be disappointed.

Absolutely excellent. Food was delicious, not greasy just beautifully flavoured. The staff were really friendly & attentive. A really fab & fun restaurant & bar, not an over the top, all the same, fussy place as they all are now. Can't wait to go back. A real GEM found!

I visited The Bali in Brighton over the Christmas break 2023 . I was very impressed with the welcome and was pleased to see a party of Indonesians already present . We ordered a variety of starters as we had a vegen present . This course was as authentic as possible . The next , our main course was again really authentic , and as close to being in Penang . I cannot recommend this uniquely situated restaurant more highly . What a wonderful experience in Brighton . We have already decided to eat here again next year . 10 /10 for effort ! xxx

Friday 22nd December. Decided to book for a family get together with son and his wife as unable to meet up on Christmas Day. Husband booked a table for 4 online then phone to make the deposit as instructed due to it being a December booking; was told by whoever answered the phone that a deposit was not necessary. Turned up at 1pm only to find the restaurant in darkness and doors locked. Another couple were also trying to get into the restaurant as they too had booked a table for lunch. Rang the restaurant only to hear the phone ringing inside but no one answered. INCREDIBLY DISAPPOINTED. INCREDIBLY EMBARRASSED in front of son and daughter-in-law. NO explanation as to why the restaurant was shut. Our Christmas get-together has been ruined by the thoughtless action of the owner or manager. Would NOT recommend and WILL NOT return. Very poor. Understand if there was staff shortage due to illness/COVID but no note on door or email to explain why they were closed or to cancel the booking.

Fabulous atmosphere, very festive and excellent singing entertainment

Had our Christmas party and it was so much fun. Well presented bar and restaurant. The host was great and made sure we enjoyed our evening. Live music was entertaining!

Excellent food, service courteous and helpful. Nice atmosphere. Will be returning soon.

We had our works do and it was brilliant, Great Atmosphere!!!✨ Great food!!!✨✨ Outstanding service ✨✨✨✨ Thank you 😊

Beautiful place. Great service. Family run restaurant. Great cocktails 🍸

Dear staff of Bali Brasserie, I would like to send a huge thank you to all the staff here for their hard work and phenomenal service. Came here for a staff night out last night. We were greeted with a very warm welcome and were told about the delicious meal that we would be recieving. First came the soup with the prawn crackers. The soup was the best soup I have ever tasted. It had the right amount of heat and the seasoning was absolutely spot on. It came with absolutely incredible tasting prawn crackers with a very tasty purée. Next came our chicken skewers and the taste was out of this world. I’m still mind blown now by how extraordinary this chicken was. Our third course of the night was an amazing buffet where you could help yourself to as much rice, prawns, chicken curry, chickpeas, stir fry etc. This was an incredible buffet. The service was excellent throughout the night so I would like to say a huge thank you to all the lovely staff. I would also like to give a huge shout out to Jason Lee the entertainer who was absolutely phenomenal. He has an excellent singing voice and is clearly very good at his job. He got everyone dancing and having a great time. He is funny too! Also a thank you to Jason for playing Dancing Queen by ABBA!! So if you are planning a night out, go to Bali Brasserie. You won’t be disappointed. Thank you so much again ❤️

This was booked by someone I work with as it was our Christmas staff party… The service was very good and the singer was quite good. The food was average and nothing to get excited about,there was only six dishes to choose from. Pretty poor really… I definitely wouldn’t rush back…

Christmas celebrations with the company and all who work for them. Good night, food plenty, DJ awesome and talented - had us all up dancing with other groups of party goers.

Perfect for a large group! We booked for 30 people and we all had the 4 course menu. The food was amazing and the vegeterians in our group were especially happy with the vegan and vegeterian options 😊 The staff were so friendly and we got great service! Will recommend this restaurant to everyone visiting Brighton!

Last Saturday evening we held my mother-in-laws 80th birthday dinner at the Bali Brasserie, and I could not have chosen a better place to celebrate! From the moment of making the reservation, through to the moment we left, the owner and staff were all outstanding - warm and friendly, and extremely helpful and attentive to everyone in our large party. The venue is so pretty, the food was delicious, and all the staff and chefs went out of the way to look after everyone's needs, including separate food for the young children who couldn't eat the buffet. They even surprised us with lots of beautiful balloons to celebrate the occasion! I could not recommend this resturaunt more highly, and will definitely be going back. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making this birthday so special and memorable! - Debbie

Amazing food and service, best chicken satay in Brighton. Gluten free options for every dish. Highly recommended.

Amazing place and if your in Brighton is a must visit gorgeous food

4 of us went to see a show at the brasserie and it was fantastic.. Jason lee is a must for entertainment.. food was amazing and plenty of it .. I had the chicken curry , satay chicken , prawns and noodles all delicious.. can't wait to go back for another evening of entertainment

An awesome afternoon for a birthday lunch, superb food & service , loads of space for big groups. A retro classic restaurant which never disappoints

A beautiful bar with live music on Thursdays and the best karaoke on Sunday nights. The service is wonderful and the Indonesian menu is stunning. Music on Thursdays is Elvis/crooners. The karaoke on Sundays has an incredible mix of ages, genres, talent and everyone receives a hero's welcome. Highly recommended!

Really lovely food. I always am looking forward to eat there when I visit from germany.

Wonderful time. A favourite venue.

Love everything about the Bali Brasserie - the staff, the food, the interesting location and the Elvis impersonator! I lhad such a good time here last week that I lost my phone, which of course they kept safe. Thanks BB, wish you well forever.

We have eaten Indonesian food for over 45 years and Bali Brasserie provided some of the best we have ever had, with fabulous satay sauce, great gado gado and other tasty dishes. Staff were helpful in cooking food to our personal preferences, which was spicy. Plenty of space and pleasant surroundings. Thoroughly recommended.

Love this place. Having lived in Malaysia/Indonesia for 12 years, the food is the most authentic I've had in UK. The staff are brilliant.

Have eaten here many times now, as part of a private group booking, eating from the buffet. Always very tasty.

Strange location but this adds to the charm completely. Food is fantastic and the staff running are family based and really personable. Sunday night is karaoke 🎤 in part of the restaurant.

One of the best Sambal Udang I’ve ever had. Good service and value for money. Would definitely come again 😊

Brilliant restaurant, great service and wonderful location, thank you

We had an amazing meal here for my partners birthday! I was struggling to find a place that could fit in such a large group so last minute, but it was no issue for Bali Brasserie. The food was amazing, the service very friendly and attentive, I would highly recommend! Perfect place for a birthday meal!

Superb!Malay food at it’s best I know I lived there for twelve years.Perfect Mee Goreng not to be missed.

This was perfect for lunch with my son, his wife and my 2yo grandson. Spacious and comfortable, excellent service and delicious food. A great find, we'll come again when we're next down that way.

My first visit and I had a most enjoyable evening. Can't wait to go again.

It's an odd one, somewhat hidden under building. The service is super friendly, the food is ok. But the reason for going is the amazing karaoke on Sunday nights which attract a good, fun, crowd.

Visited with a large group for a birthday meal and can’t praise the place highly enough. Excellent service and food! TC was particularly accommodating and obviously knows exactly what is needed to make the evening go without a hitch. Don’t let the outside appearance of the building put you off, it’s a great venue once inside. Thank you.

Excellent customer service. My husband and I wanted to get some genuine Indonesian food for ages, as there is limited offering in Scotland. We came down for Brighton Pride and found this place and had to go. We were not disappointed, the food was right...

A hidden gem! I wondered what was in store after walking through the 70’s inspired corridor; I must say I was pleasantly surprised- this place is awesome. We received a kind welcome from TC, amazing service from Richie; the food was too notch! I look forward to visiting again.

Great party venue. TC and Jasper helped us plan, arrange and deliver a fantastic party for 50 + friends and family. All the feedback from guests was extremely positive, with specific praise for fantastic food, unique, sophisticated party venue, warm friendly welcome and service throughout....

TC and family put on the greatest spread of delicious Indonesian food and hospitality for my wedding reception. Truly a great day, and many thanks to all of you. An unforgettable meal and afternoon in a great setting. Thank you so much.

Definitely a place for a fun evening if you are in a group, but not so much fun for a couple or a foursome. First impressions aren't good as the restaurant is located under a block of flats just off Hove seafront. The 4 of...

Excellent meal in plush surroundings. Attentive and friendly service. A must visit for those visiting Hove/Brighton area.

Tucked away in a residential street is this gem of a restaurant serving mouth watering Indonesian and Malay food like I've never tasted, all cooked to perfection, spicey as you like it and full of flavour. The service was friendly and not overbearing and the...

We had a large party of doctors at this restaurant, and I must say that this is the best venue we have had in the twenty odd years that we have been doing this yearly event. From the start, it was evident that the owner/manager,...

Fantastic exotic experience at the Bali restaurant in Hove. We had the rice table four course meal with buffet. The food was first class served by friendly staff who were welcoming. Being a Thursday evening we also enjoyed a good cabaret.

Came across positive Trip Advisor reviews and thought we’d give it a go - we were not disappointed. The food was excellent with a great selection for meat eaters and vegetarians and the service was good. There was a singer on that evening, not something...

The Bali Brasserie has a long-standing fine reputation and we have been wanting to come for years. Street parking is cheap for the area. £2.80 for two hours, way below Brighton's extortionate levels. Finding a place is a little challenging but we did within a...

We were greeted fulsomely by the staff on arrival and escorted to our table. Having chosen and ordered our meals (my two companions are vegetarians but that mattered not as we were all able to choose and eat from a large variety of dishes on...

Delicious, authentic food. Best chicken satay I’ve eaten, like ever! Such lovely service and perfect setting. I will be back as the menu is so vast.

Not our first visit but unfortunately our last. Food was too spicy especially my wifes nasi goreng , sunday obviously not a good day to eat as karaoke seemed priority so service was slow and not at all attentive. The waiter clering the plates didnt ask if it was all right but would we like takeaway , I explained why it wasnt eaten and all he could say was sorry!

Not open at 12.00 although that is the published time. Walked out of my way to get there as well.
