6) Atithi
Atithi means 'the guest is god' in Sanskrit, which pretty much sums up the excellent service at this contemporary Indian restaurant and bar on jalan Melasti in Legian.
You cant miss the spot for its bright red walls and ceiling painted sky blue with clouds, and although it seems small, the table layout allows for plenty of space. Expect authentic North Indian dishes like Chicken Biryani and Dal Makhani at very reasonable prices.
