Mia Mia's Kitchen — Restaurant in Lombok

Bad experience, bad food, ambience not nice. They allow little kids into the restaurant who continuously come up to your table harassing you and your party to buy their bracelets or buy them rice - which is obnoxious and totally unacceptable for a place of business like a restaurant to allow this type of behaviour. Condoning a behaviour and allowing it doesn't then make that behavior acceptable just because you do nothing about it. You're allowing the behaviour to continue and basically saying to the children that it's ok to go up to people and beg for money. That's not instilling a sense of work ethic and right morals in children and anyhow those kids should be in school if it's during the daytime. Encouraging begging just exacerbates a dynamic that will increase generational trauma and not improve the situation for those people. Instead of working they're out asking people to buy them rice and give them money. That's not a good thing to be teaching and condoning young children to do that behaviour. It doesn't teach work ethic to the kids and instills a sense of entitlement. Condoning a behaviour doesn't make that behaviour socially acceptable even in the most dire circumstances,...

We really wanted to like this place but the food was below average ( no flavor, and incredibly tough meat) and we were heavily harassed by 5 girls trying to sell bracelets to us. We tried to buy a couple from a girl because we feel so bad for these children but so also we could have some peace but then the rest of the group spotted us and aggressively pounced on us telling us to buy from all of them. They physically surrounded us poking us with their display and hassled us for straight 15 minutes so we moved down stairs and they followed us down to wait for us. We were incredibly stressed with guilt and anxiety but the staff simply didn’t manage the floor. It was to the level that the waitress had to excuse herself to get through these children in the dining area. We eventually left most of our food due to lack of quality and not being able to eat comfortably. This is a general problem in Kuta but I would love to see some effort to make the dinner experience...

It’s was my first day in Lombok as of just finishing 7 hours worth of travel I was rather peckish one might say and that where my journey to find a restaurant began, we stumbled across this decent looking restaurant ( was definitely not) as I stated before I was rather hungry i decided to order 2 main meals a chicken burger and a Nasi goreng, as I was eating the satay sticks we’re looking dodgey, but I was hungry I absolutely demolished anyway( which I will later regret) needless to say everything ended up in a bucket by the end of the day, the next 48 hours were absolute hell couldn’t stand up for more than 10 seconds without throwing up or shitting myself. In conclusion to this essay I wouldn’t recommend my enemy to this restaurant and it makes me feel sick even thinking...
