    Castaway, the cozy gem nestled atop Dive Timor, is THE place to be in Dili! While prices might be on the higher side, just like the rest of the city, it's totally worth it. You'll be blown away by the gargantuan portions they serve up - one meal is all you need to send your cravings packing for hours on end! And while the taste of the meals might be so-so, they're still satisfying and enjoyable. But wait, there's more! Castaway elevates your evenings with live music every single day, transforming the bar into a vibrant haven for fun-seekers. Picture this: you're unwinding with an ice-cold beer in hand, tapping your feet to the infectious rhythm of the tunes, and just letting the stress of the day wash away. Pure bliss! So, if you're looking for the perfect spot to chill out, delight in some generously portioned, decent-tasting food, and enjoy a lively atmosphere after a hectic day in the capital, Castaway is your one-stop destination for a rollicking good time! Don't miss out on this Dili hotspot!

    Nice place for hangout in the weekends. Convenient location overseeing the ocean. Very clean. Nice food. Service ladies are efficient and helpful. Tried two types of vegetarian pizzas here. Both were tasty. Also tried piri piri chicken on another day, but didn't like this so much.

    Good place for Western food, friendly staff, reasonably priced (for Timor Leste) and big portions but crazy expensive for a bottle of water, accepts credit card, nice views of the sea

    Great burgers! Bacon cheeseburger is just that good 🍔 It may have taken some time for the burgers to arrive, but it was worth the wait. No need to ask for separate plate of chips, as it comes with the burger. Hot dogs used to be good too, but the quality as declined. Service is average. Food is not pricey, but the drinks are. Make sure to check your receipt, price on menu may not match price on receipt (it has happened). Oh, there's a nice view to the sea... and to the very busy road.

    Food is ok, price is not cheap as all other joints around Dili. Coast-front location with sea breeze is nice, good place to chill out. Located on 2nd floor, can be windy sometimes. Take too long to serve after order, also quite common amongst other places in Dili....

    If I could I would give the calamari alone 10 stars. So sooo good I had to come the next night for another plate. Easily the best I’ve had anywhere on earth. Crispy, oily, and the Timor chilly just hits the spot. They also serve a coconut mojito which I ordered for kicks at first and then got 2 … maybe 3 more.

    The hummus avocado wrap with chips (fries) was really good and tasted fresh. The pineapple mint juice was refreshing. I will definitely return!

    Vegetarian Curry Puffs are delicious with a Long Black. You can opt for chicken or beef if you’d need it.

    Their food is served hot and it taste good. The majority of food they served is like pica pica a compliment food for beer or alcoholic beverages. The staff are all smiles and attentive. The place needs a little bit of dusting (wall fan). Live band is also performing depends on the schedule. 😊

    Great location over looking the bay and open to the breeze's. Food was good and beer flowed. Can't ask for much more here in Dili.

  • 4/5 Manuel A. 1 year ago on Google
    I think this is a good place for lunch or dinner, and also to have fun drinking some beers and tapping. Nice menu, quick. It is right over the avenue so it is a little bit noisy but it's still ok... The food was very good!

    Superb breakfast and view in early morning, particularly if you are staying with Dive Timor downstairs. Good coffee and juices!

  • 4/5 Kathryn M. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice vibe, good selection of decent priced food, but a bit pricey on the drinks. Everything came out quick and hot and was tasty enough. Fried fish burger patty was hot juicy and crispy.

  • 4/5 Mark H. 6 years ago on Google
    Good burgers, fries, salads and more. Pretty big menu. Great beach view. Noisy road. Live music on weekend evenings.

  • 4/5 Greg W. 6 years ago on Google
    Pretty good burger place. Have a variety of different types and burgers come in the size of mini or regular. Restaurant overlooks the beach.

    I went here for lunch and enjoyed the food and the view. The burger was good and reasonably priced. It wasn't crowded and had a nice laid back beach vibe.
