the smoothie bowls here are THICK, like banana ice cream, just how I love it! 🍦 the chunky monkey bowl literally tastes like cookies and cream ice cream it’s insanely good - probably the best tasting “smoothie bowl” on Gili Air, although it’s more like ice cream! yummmm! the only reason I’m giving 4 stars is because I feel like the fruit toppings need to be a lot fresher. the apple & banana were slightly brown the first 2 times I went there, so the final time I ate there, I asked for no toppings at all because the chunky monkey bowl is that tasty on its own! also, it would be cool if the toppings could match the flavours of the bowls rather than using the same toppings for each bowl (which I do get is easier & saves time etc. but it really is a game changer) 🌟 for example, with the chunky monkey bowl, top it with banana, chocolate granola, grated chocolate & FRESH peanut butter (easy to make fresh with a blender & it makes all the difference). Then for a tropical bowl, top with fresh mango, pineapple, coconut granola & coconut sugar syrup, for example. In my opinion, if you were to implement these changes, you’d have the BEST bowls...
Read moreI recently visited a café restaurant called Gili Bliss, and unfortunately my experience was far from blissful. The service was terrible, the food was overpriced and overrated, and the owner was constantly yelling and gossiping with the employees.

Secondly, the food was incredibly expensive and not worth the price. The menu was limited and the portions were small, and the quality of the food was not impressive. We felt like we were paying for the "instagram decoration" rather than the actual food. Overall, I would not recommend visiting Gili Bliss. The service, food, and atmosphere were all subpar and not worth...
Read moreWe went 3 times, and two of those were excellent. Really well prepared and tasty food. All drinks on the menu had banana, so if you don’t like it then you don’t have many options (though I’m sure they’d tailor a different mix if asked). WiFi is quite slow, the stairs to the seating area are pretty steep, and the final time we went, they had a different menu. It took 45mins to get a sandwich, which had missing ingredients and other things added (which they asked about, I declined, but they added anyway). It was pretty disorganised, they did give a full discount on the item, which made up for it.
Generally it’ll be a great place when they’re used to the new menu. The decor and...
