"The best restaurant on the island! My husband and I come here for lunch every day and we also started taking dinner as take away! As we wait for food we usually dip in the sea. There are nice sunbeds for customers. Here I had the most delicious veggie burger ever! The variety of food for vegetarians is great! The espresso is good. The service is outstanding and the food and juices are so yummy. 5 stars for Taste!"
"Absolutely loved our dinner at TASTE on Gili T! The service was unreal – huge shout-out to Azmi and Pina for being so friendly, attentive and just genuinely lovely during the whole time we spent on the island and multiple times we ate at this restaurant. The menu is super diverse and everything we tried was delicious, from the mains to the sides, and the plates are presented beautifully like in the photos. The fresh juices were a standout too – really refreshing and packed with flavour. Can’t wait to come back next time we’re on the island!"
"We had a lot of our meals here during our two-week stay in Gili T. The food was amazing and delicious, and the staff were super friendly and attentive. Good vibes too. A shout out to their baked oatmeal, pancakes, sandwiches as well as the coconut crispy chicken. Will definitely miss the food here when I am home."
"After having sampled their food menu on a daily basis for the last two weeks I can confirm, the name taste is absolutely justified. Their food is really tasty! My fav breakfast item by far is the baked oatmeal. In second place are the fluffy Pancakes with berry compots, the jammy pancakes, and the Overnight Jar Mood. The staff are also super friendly as well making for a very pleasant start to the day!"
"We had the best smoothie bowls and food on the island here. Cute cats roam the cafe as well. Prices are fair, atmosphere is good, and service amazing. Would definitely recommend this place if you’re staying on Gili T."
"What a fantastic surprise! The restaurant was quiet because it's low season, so we didn't expect much. But the food was incredible. We ordered 3 different dishes and desserts and it was all a winner. I'm definitely coming back here. The staff are very friendly and helpful. I think in high season when there are more people here, the vibes here will be vibing as well!"
"Service was very nice and of course the place is breathtaking, but for me the star of the show was the food. The fish was incredibly tender, perfectly cooked, crispy on the outside and buttery on the inside. All the veggies were cooked perfectly, not soggy but still crisp. The potatoes were simply perfect. Everything was delicious, and I especially loved the prawns in buttery, garlicky, spicy sauce. It’s really worth a stop!!!"
