Hakuna Matata-Asian fusion Restaurant — Restaurant in West Nusa Tenggara

We had a wonderful stay at Hakuna Matata!!!!

Me and my girlfriend had an hard search for a nice place at ‘Gilli Air’ and found out that THIS was the most nicest place on the island!!

‘Hakuna Matata’ is on the sunset side of the island and on the A location of the island!

as we took a walk around the island the first day we could compare the other resorts. (Walk around the island took 1/5 hours) and we could see that this is the best one!

Further all, the staff is incredible, the breakfast starts at 8 am but i could order my coffee at 07:00 in the morning and they were preparing the coffee for me and offered to bring it to my room!

We are really great-full for an awesome time and we want tot thank Mister Dwin and Benny for the awesome service!! Also want to thank Lisa for a great smile everyday and here service as wel!! Mister Slamet (front office) is always there for you and keeps on smiling the entire day. And we want to thank Nora for the warm welcome that we had and gave us a wonderful time!

10 out of 10!!!

Really recommending this...

Came here for my birthday on a Thursday as I adore seafood and sashimi but was quite disappointed. We've been in Bali for many months. We got a cocktail deal 3 for 2 to start. Food didn't come until much later so we drank slowly. My partner felt sick almost immediately as the taste of the maki roll she got was quite off-putting. We both thought this would be a great place as we had seen photos of the salmon sashimi that looked fresh with fantastic marbling however the fish was not fresh, seemed like it was just poorly defrosted and the taste was bland with temperatures uneven in each piece. We spent almost $100AUD, which was a mistake. For the amount they charge, it's simply not worth it. Service was great and interior is inviting and comfortable but I'm sorry, you couldn't pay me to...

Rodeada de aguas cristalinas y un ambiente relajado, se encuentra Hakuna Matata, un restaurante japonés con nombre africano que ofrece uno de los mejores sushi que hemos probado. Este pequeño rincón gastronómico no solo se destaca por su ubicación idílica frente al mar, sino por su compromiso con la calidad y frescura de sus ingredientes. Desde el momento en que nos sentamos, nos dimos cuenta de que estábamos a punto de vivir una experiencia única, muy por encima de lo que uno podría esperar en una isla remota.

Hakuna Matata es un verdadero refugio para los amantes del sushi, con un ambiente tranquilo que invita a relajarse mientras se disfruta de un plato perfectamente preparado. El sushi se destaca por la calidad inmejorable de sus ingredientes. El pescado, extremadamente fresco, parece recién traído del mar circundante, y la textura del arroz es simplemente impecable.

Lo que realmente hace especial a este restaurante es su atención al detalle. Desde los clásicos sashimi hasta los rolls más innovadores, todo está elaborado con precisión. Los sabores se equilibran de manera excepcional, permitiendo que cada ingrediente brille por sí mismo. A lo largo de la comida, es evidente que no se escatima en calidad ni en presentación. Incluso los platos más sencillos muestran un nivel de sofisticación y cuidado que eleva la experiencia culinaria.

Lo más impresionante es la fusión de ingredientes locales, que añaden un toque único a los platos. Algunas variedades de sushi incorporan frutas tropicales o toques de especias locales, lo que crea una combinación armoniosa entre lo tradicional y lo innovador.

Este restaurante no es solo un lugar para comer, es una experiencia en sí misma. Un sitio donde el sushi se transforma en una verdadera obra de arte, y donde la pasión por la gastronomía japonesa se refleja en cada detalle. Sin duda, un destino imprescindible para los amantes de la cocina japonesa que buscan una experiencia diferente...
