Yaprak Kebab Falafel Review: A Culinary Adventure in Uluwatu, Bali

Yaprak Kebab Falafel, Bali Cliff

Zidan

So, let me take you on a little culinary adventure to Yaprak Kebab Falafel in Uluwatu, Bali. Picture this: a sunny day, the smell of spices wafting through the air, and my stomach growling louder than a toddler denied candy. I was ready to dive into some delicious wraps and kebabs!

First up, I ordered the Falafel Wrap. Now, I’ve had falafel before, but this one was like a party in my mouth! It was crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and packed with flavor. I mean, if I could marry a wrap, this would be the one. Sorry, future spouse, but you’ve got some serious competition!

Then came the Chicken Kebab Wrap. I was expecting a kebab that would make me feel like a Turkish sultan, but instead, I got a wrap that was more like a salad with a couple of chicken pieces thrown in. One reviewer warned, “BEWARE! I ordered a big lamb kebab and after a very long wait I got a wrap stuffed with salad and only two tiny pieces of lamb.” I felt that! It was like ordering a lion and getting a kitten instead. But hey, at least the salad was fresh, right?

Now, let’s talk about the Greek Salad. It was like a Mediterranean vacation on a plate! Crisp veggies, tangy feta, and olives that were probably handpicked by Greek gods. But I couldn’t help but think, “Why is this salad so much better than my life choices?”

As for the atmosphere, it was decent. Not exactly a five-star dining experience, but it had that casual vibe that made me feel like I could eat with my hands without judgment. And the service? Well, let’s just say the staff were friendly enough to make me feel like I was at a family reunion—minus the awkward questions about when I’m getting married.

Now, I did overhear some folks grumbling about the food not tasting like authentic Turkish doner. One guy said, “Honestly it doesn’t taste like Turkish doner at all. Beef was rather braised than grilled.” I mean, who knew beef could have an identity crisis? But hey, if you’re looking for a place that serves decent kebabs and falafel, this might just hit the spot.

In conclusion, if you’re in Uluwatu and craving some wraps, Yaprak Kebab Falafel is worth a shot. Just remember to manage your expectations—especially if you’re dreaming of a kebab the size of your head. And if all else fails, there’s always the Greek salad to save the day!

As I stepped into Yaprak Kebab Falafel, nestled in the vibrant area of Jl. Bali Cliff No. 88 E, Uluwatu, Bali, I was immediately enveloped by a warm and inviting atmosphere. The rustic decor, adorned with traditional Turkish motifs, sets the perfect backdrop for a culinary adventure that promises to be both delightful and enlightening.

The menu here is a delightful mix of Middle Eastern and Mediterranean flavors, with standout dishes like the Falafel Wrap and Chicken Kebab Wrap. I opted for the Chicken Kebab Pita Bread, and let me tell you, it was a generous portion that left me feeling satisfied. The kebab was juicy and well-seasoned, though I must admit, some reviews mentioned inconsistency in flavor, with a few diners noting that the kebab sometimes had an off-putting smell. However, my experience was quite pleasant, and the flavors were vibrant.

One of the highlights of my meal was the Greek Salad, which was fresh and bursting with flavor. The combination of crisp vegetables and tangy feta cheese was a refreshing complement to the heartier dishes. I could see why many locals and tourists alike flock to this spot, especially given the reasonable prices that range from Rp50,000 to Rp75,000 per person.

However, it’s worth mentioning that the service can be a bit hit or miss. While some patrons have praised the staff for their friendliness, others have expressed frustration over slow service and a lack of communication. One review noted, “I decided to ask one of the staff while they were busy chit chatting in the kitchen area,” which reflects a common sentiment about the need for more attentive service. On my visit, I found the staff to be polite, but I could see how the pace might test the patience of some diners.

The ambiance is cozy, making it a great spot for a casual meal with friends or family. The large parking space is a bonus, especially in a busy area like Uluwatu. Despite some critiques about the menu being a bit scattered and the opening hours being a tad late at noon, the overall experience was enjoyable. The food, while not always perfect, has its moments of brilliance, especially the Chicken Kebab and the Sausage Pide, which one reviewer described as “amazing as always.”

In conclusion, Yaprak Kebab Falafel is a must-visit for anyone looking to dive into the culinary culture of Uluwatu. With its hearty portions, reasonable prices, and a menu that offers a taste of the Mediterranean, it’s a place where you can savor the flavors of the region while soaking in the local vibe. Just be prepared for a bit of a wait, and you might just find yourself returning for more!
