Sumak Turkish Cuisine — Restaurant in Bali

The Food: • Hummus: Creamy, earthy, and perfectly balanced. You can taste the tahini, not just the chickpeas. No shortcuts here — this is the kind of hummus that makes you rethink what you’ve been settling for. • Flatbread: One of the best I’ve had in years. Puffy, slightly blistered, dotted with black sesame — fresh enough to eat on its own. • Lamb Sis Kofte & Chicken Tavuk Sis: Tender, juicy, grilled right. Both dishes hit that rare mark where seasoning enhances the meat without drowning it. • Sides & Salads: Tomato-cucumber mix was fresh, clean, and bright. The purple beet yogurt? Slightly tangy, fun contrast. The dips don’t feel like an afterthought — they hold their own. The lentil soup is not the one for me though

Cheese Pide? Yes. Just yes. Buttery, stretchy, slightly crispy at the edges — comfort food done with precision.

Service & Speed: Staff are genuinely warm. The kind of service where no one’s hovering, but you never feel forgotten. Food came out quick, not rushed. Just that sweet spot where you don’t need to glance around wondering if someone lost your order.

Ambiance: Not flashy. Just grounded, relaxed, and well-kept. Great for both casual meals and deeper dinners with people you actually like. You’re not just fed — you’re hosted.

Price Point: Exactly where it should be. Fair for the quality, generous portions, and attention to detail. You leave feeling satisfied without doing math in your head.

Final Thought: This isn’t a place trying to be fancy. It’s a place that respects the food and gets the fundamentals right. Warm bread. Cold mezze. Grilled meat with depth. I’ll absolutely come back next time I’m in Bali —...

Lamb and the bread was about the only two things that were good, other than that food was pretty average & in line with most other reviewers. The restaurant’s policy on the other hand became apparent which seemed to be ‘we are money hungry, so we’ll try enforce ridiculous rules’. There was never any water offered for the table as part of the initial dining etiquette as we sat down and neither was it offered at any point of the duration of our meals. By the end of the meal when I pulled out my drink bottle to take a sip of my own water as I was thirsty (and I shouldn’t have to explain to the world that I was sick) - The waiter suddenly mentioned that the restaurant had a “policy” for customers to pay for water if it’s been brought from outside?!? Wtf! The waiter then continued on & said if you want to drink water in here, you need to pay for “our” water. Literally this conversation unfolding in front of the entire restaurant & side tables to hear. I’m not sure what sort of ridiculous customer service rule this is! Perhaps a lesson on what dining & hospitality experience actually means will help them go ahead in this industry. What an awful way to ruin the entire experience of dining here! When I tried to offer this as a feedback, the girl outside was not interested either & said it’s our “policy”. Curious to know if staff are equally extortioned to pay for water when they come in for their shifts? Good luck to you & your policies mate! Have fun! Will not...

My experience at the Turkish cuisine was one of a kind.

The chicken kebabs and Anada kebabs in this beautiful Turkish setting was absolutely unforgettable. The chicken kebabs were grilled to perfection—juicy, tender, and packed with flavors that seemed to burst with each bite. The Anada kebabs were equally impressive, with their rich, smoky taste that made me savor every mouthful.

And then there was the hummus—so creamy and smooth, it was almost addictive. Paired with the fresh Turkish bread, which had just the right amount of softness and crisp, it was the perfect way to scoop up every last bit. Honestly, I couldn’t get enough of that combo.

But it wasn’t just about the food. The atmosphere really transported me. The warm colors, intricate lanterns, and soft music in the background made it feel like I’d stepped into a little corner of Istanbul. It was cozy, welcoming, and completely immersive.

What really made the night, though, was the service. The staff were so attentive and friendly, making sure we were comfortable and happy throughout the meal. Their genuine warmth made the experience feel like more than just dining out—it felt like I was being hosted by friends.

This place is definitely somewhere I’ll be coming back to. Between the incredible food, the authentic vibe, and the top-notch service, it was a truly special night.

Definitely a must visit when in Eats Street...
