    Lia and Curry are a wonderful couple, always helpful and cheerful and their little daughter Aura is lovely. Curry will deliver their wonderful food to where you are staying. Love the smoothie bowls and the tofu curry with rice. Remember to ask for chilli if you like it more spicy.

    Loved my Jamba smoothie bowl which was surprisingly super filling and tasty. The best part was the full flavours coming out and that it was actually frozen, not all melted. I believe it was 55k and kept me full till mid-afternoon. The staff were also super efficient and friendly, and the fan kept me cool enough in the shade.

    Everything Lia turns her hand to is delicious beyond belief. We stayed in Gili Air 3 days and ate every day at Aura Bowls! We have had the BEST smoothie bowls of our ENTIRE LIFE here! Smoothie bowl perfection! The local dish olah-olah (coconut milk curry with vegetables), Tempe sandwich, and curry were some of the best food we have ever had in Indonesia. Terima kasih Lia! ♥

    This is my absolute favorite restaurant in Gili Air. The food is always fantastic and no matter what I order I am always delighted with my meal! Servers are also great and always efficient, happy and polite. Can’t wait to return to Gili Air and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to anyone looking for somewhere to eat in this area.

    A very small warung-looking from the town street just turning right to reach this gem of a place. They don’t have all the fancy ambiance, wifi or whatsoever - but what they serve is authentic goodness. I saw the smoothie bowls being served and the guests saying they will go back. I had the Happy Mango smoothie which was so filling and good, then had the jackfruit burrito from the special menu (only 35K !), surprising how flavorful and filling it was. I didn’t plan on heavy meal but it was so good the way they cooked it I had to finish it off. The waiting time is a bit longer than usual, but they cook it fresh and blend for you when you order. They also serve with a lot of smiles and love, best part is it’s really cheap for what they offer. 4 out of 5 stars because only wish is — they could have gluten free options :) and a more accessible branch by the beach next time Recommended for: smoothie bowls gili air, best warung gili air, healthy bowls gili air, best restaurants in gili air

    Can't recommend this place enough! Every dish we had was amazing. The mie goreng, chap chay, chicken curry and fried aubergine. The smoothie bowls were incredible! Packed with so much fruit, seeds and nuts. If its busy, be prepared to wait a little as theres only 2 staff making all the food, drinks and smoothie bowls for everyone as well as serving everything and taking orders and payment. Have tried many restaurants on the island but this is by far the best! Although the bowls are a bit pricey, they are huge and so filling, so definitely definitely worth every penny. The staff were so lovely too!! Definitely must try this place!

    Great food, large portions, clean and healthy, at a cheap price. The owners are also lovely people. We order everyday from there while on Gili Air.

    If Aura Bowls was the only restaurant on the island, I would be a happy camper. Lia makes amazing food with so much texture and flavor. If you dine in, you get free iced tea and get to hangout with the local cat, Bagheera. If you take it to go, Lia’s husband Curry delivers it (and free banana cake) with the biggest smile. My favorite things on the menu are Olah Olah, crispy pumpkin (mashed pumpkin fritters) with Lia’s fresh sambal, and the Mango smoothie bowl. The menu has many Indonesian and western dishes to choose from. Eat at Aura Bowls and you won’t be disappointed. If you’re lucky, you might even get to meet Lia and Curry’s daughter, Aura, herself! If you visit, tell her Lucy sent you!

    I normally never write reviews but this place really deserves all the love. I went here several times (which I also never do on a vacation because I want to experience different things every day, but this place made me come back) and their smoothie bowls are so delicious, feeding my belly and my soul. The people here are super friendly and always smiling. Also the cat is adorable

    Family owned little place and the staff were always super friendly! I’ve ordered smoothie bowls and they have been the yummiest ones I’ve had in Indonesia, can’t recommend enough!! I’ve come back several times and there’s plenty of vegan options. Just remember to tip generously, we can make that money back in a matter of hours but it makes a huge difference to these people☺️

    AMAZING! I stay 2 nights in Gili Air and I came back 2 times to eat here because the food is soo good and have cheap prices compared to the restaurants around. even though the waiting for the food is bit long (because the prepared fresh and homemade style) but its worth it when your food is arrived. very recommended place to eat!

    Best vegan smoothie bowls on the island, so many toppings, huge, filling bowls with fresh fruit. Many others on the island are very heavy with coconut cream/milk, but this is fresh pure fruits and my favourite place on the island. If you're going to have one smoothie bowl on your visit make sure it's from here! Also they recently got a new granola and it's amazing, i hope they keep that one. My favourite is the jamba bowl

    We were looking for a local food, and we found this familiar restaurant. We had 2 really good fresh juices to drink and Chicken Burrito and Chicken & Rice . Both dishes were amazing and very tasteful. It took a bit longer since we order, because the Kitchen is small and restaurant was full.

    Incredible value vegan food at Aura Bowls. We had an absolute blowout 3-course feast for less than 100k each (about £5 for the Brits) for our last meal on Gili Air. The local curries were delicious and the portion sizes were immense. Recommend the satay tempe which was cooked and seasoned to perfection.

    My absolute favorite on Gili Air, regardless if it’s for breakfast, lunch or early dinner. The food is always fresh and delicious, at very convenient prices. I especially liked smoothie bowls and local dishes. The service is also outstanding and I enjoyed the ambience. Highly recommended!

    A hidden gem in Gili Air surrounded by nature. Close to the main “shopping” street but tucked away in a quiet corner. We absolutely enjoyed every dish. The curry is highly recommended, so flavourful and not spicy. The smoothie bowls were really refreshing on a hot day.

    Best local food we’ve tried on the island! The aubergine special in peanut sauce and olah olah were both super tasty, as were the flavourful smoothies. Quick and friendly service and very cheap prices for food. Highly recommend!

    (Translated by Google) The Fruit Bowls are excellent. All freshly prepared in a very rustic location. Service a little slow but the wait is worth it. Large portions at a price too low (60 / 70,000 rupees per Bowl) (Original) Ottime le Fruit Bowls. Tutto preparato al momento in una location molto rustica. Il servizio un po' lento ma l'attesa ne vale la pena. Porzioni abbondanti ad un prezzo fin troppo basso (60/70.000 rupie a Bowl)

    The food from Aura Bowl is seriously delicious. We had the Indonesian food here, the Mee Goreng and Nasi Goreng and it was the best I have tried. Such an unassuming side of the road ok, but well worth a visit.

    An absolute hidden gem. The best food (we had different curries and bowls) for a ridiculously cheap price. It's a tiny shack, very humble, but the food is amazing and much better than in all those fancy, instagrammable places.

    If you go to Gili air you gotta try this place! It is super super cheap and the food is incredibly delicious!! The meals are very filling plus there's a lot of vegan options, they will probably say vegetarian but just ask them how they make the dishes and which ingredients etc, and they will be very helpful explaining you what's inside.

    This is my favourite place in Indonesia. I loved everything. Food was fresh and had superb ingredients. Prices are very reasonable at 25-40k. You won’t find anything better on the island. I went every day while i stayed there. My favs are Gado gado and the curry. Owners are absolutely lovely and ask you how many chillies you’d like before they make it. I was very comfortable with one but those familiar with spicy foods could definitely take 2/3. I can’t wait to visit again. Please go!

    Nice little cafe to get smoothie bowl. Ordered Jamba smoothie bowl and it came out with lots of toppings. The bowl taste refreshing and left me feeling very full after full and satisfied for a long time. But don't finish the bowl too long because the pineapple in the mixture will leave a very sour and bitter taste to the rest of the bowl.

  • 5/5 Michel B. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Super tasty bowl. Very richly filled in half a coconut. Fills well, definitely recommended as eg lunch (Original) Superlekkere bowl. Zeer rijkelijk gevuld in een halve kokosnoot. Vult goed, zeker aanrader als bijv. lunch

    Stopped to try the creamy noodles in peanut sauce and it was one of the most delicious noodle dishes I’ve ever tested!!! Came back to try a smoothie bowl which was super yummy, they also substituted peanuts as per my request and gave me extra granola. The mango smoothie was good too. Really recommend, lovely people :)

    Looking at all the reviews online we thought it would be a great place to go for dinner. I ordered a tofu curry which comes with rice 2 evenings ago and unfortunately got food poisoning for here. I haven’t been able to get out of bed for the last 2 days and have been incredible ill. I hope the owners see this and maybe look over how they are preparing the food or cooking it. We were going to go back to as it tasted great but not after waking up at 3am that night with the worse food poisoning.

Pumpkin curry - wow! Mango cinnamon smoothie - wow! Chicken soup - wow wow! Spring rolls - wow wow wow!!! Go ladies, go! MUST DO THING ON GILI AIR. Shall be in WHAT TO DO ON GILI AIR list.

    (Translated by Google) Awful institution, I don’t understand why a good grade. They brought rotten chicken, the smell was terrible, I had to return it, although we were convinced that only today they bought chicken in the store, it is fresh. It’s a pity that you can’t convey the smell through this review ... In the end, they only ate curry dishes. After them, an unpleasant sensation in the stomach remained for a long time. Delicious only smoothies in this place. (Original) Ужасное заведение, не понимаю почему хорошая оценка. Принесли тухлую курицу, запах был ужасный, пришлось вернуть, хотя нас убеждали, что только сегодня курицу купили в магазине, она свежая. Жаль, что нельзя передать запах через этот отзыв... В итоге поели только блюда карри. После них долго сохранялось неприятное ощущение в животе. Вкусные только смузи в этом месте.

    Aura Bowls has a genuine rustic vibe with absolutely yummy food, good portions, and great value for money. The Happy Bowls were genuine happiness in a bowl for us. We ate here more than once and would have gone more often if it was closer to our accommodation. The staff were all lovely too. Everything we watched being served looked delicious and everyone always looked happy. We had no upset tummies and we ordered as normal, ice and all; it's a chill rustic warung vibe but you can trust it: It is top quality!
