During my stay at Pesona Beach Resort & Spa, I had the pleasure of dining daily at their on-site restaurant, Pesona Lounge. One of the standout features is their flexible breakfast service, included with my stay, which I could enjoy up until 3 PM—a true blessing after a lively night out. The culinary offerings extend beyond breakfast; Pesona Lounge specializes in vibrant Indian cuisine. Each dish I tried was a delightful blend of authentic flavors and modern twists, leaving me eager to explore more of their menu. The cocktail menu is equally impressive. My personal favorite was the "Part-Time Lover," a refreshing mix that offered a perfect balance of flavors. The ambiance at Pesona Lounge is both inviting and comfortable, making it an ideal spot to relax at any time of the day or evening. The staff truly enhanced my experience; their warmth and friendliness made me feel like part of the family. A special mention goes to Griffin, who not only provided excellent service but also became a friend and even offered me lessons in Indonesian—adding a fun and educational twist to my visit. Whether you're seeking a hearty breakfast, delectable Indian dishes, or expertly crafted cocktails, Pesona Lounge is a must-visit on Gili Trawangan. The combination of delicious food, exceptional drinks, and outstanding hospitality ensures I'll be returning on my next trip.
If you’re craving amazing Indian food, this is the place to go! The chicken biryani was so good (we ordered it twice!) perfectly spiced, fragrant, and full of flavor. The pani puri is not always available but we were lucky, it was so refreshing! Chicken tikka tandoori was a little but salty but still enjoyable. Tried the masala spicy papadam as well and it was good! The atmosphere is relaxed yet lively, making it a great spot to unwind. What made our visit special was the outstanding service. Huge shoutout to Rozi, who was super friendly, attentive, and made sure we had a fantastic experience. Highly recommend this place for great food and even better hospitality!
Loved the vibe at Pesona Lounge. Definitely the best Indian food on the island, super flavorful, especially the spicy chicken vindaloo. The place has a chill atmosphere with beachfront seating and really nice decor inside and out. They’ve also got hookah if you’re into that. Big thanks to our waiter Muldi, who was super friendly and made our experience even better. Great spot to relax and enjoy good food.
5 stars — Absolutely phenomenal! Big Thanks to the german speaking waiter Muldi! Wow, just WOW! Pesona Restaurant was very, very, very, very, VERY good! We absolutely loved the Indian food – hands down the best we’ve had so far. Every single dish was a delight, bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. But it’s not just the food that makes Pesona special – it’s the people. The staff is incredibly warm and welcoming – it truly feels like coming home. They don’t just serve you; they really take care of you, they’re always looking out for you, and they genuinely love to chat and connect. You’re not just a customer here – you’re a guest, a friend. A special shout-out to Muldi, one of the waiters who made our time unforgettable. Muldi went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. He’s not only super friendly and kind, but his German skills are unbelievable – absolutely crazy how good he is! We were so impressed and so grateful for the way he made every meal special for us. Thank you, Muldi, from the bottom of our hearts! We ate breakfast, lunch, and dinner here more than three or four times – that’s how amazing this place is. Every visit was perfect. The entire team is amazing, not just Muldi – everyone contributed to the warm, joyful, home-like atmosphere. If you’re in the area and looking for incredible food, heartwarming service, and a place that feels like a second home – Pesona is the place to go. Highly, highly recommended. Five stars all the way!
A paradise place for veg food lovers staying in Gili T, the food is delicious and the staff is very helpful, funny and polite. Must visit at least once if you are in Gili and want to have anything veg. Specials thanks to “Muldi” who assisted us in deciding what to eat and what it tastes like since we were really confused after seeing a plethora of options, we had really fun conversation with him, he is extremely friendly and welcoming to all the guests.
