Khaima Bali: Where Orient meets Asia

The thing I like about a place like Bali
is the sheer variety of venues on where to eat, drink, relax or just
hang out. One of those special places where you can do all of the above
is Khaima.

What’s the venue?

Khaima is a chilled restaurant in Jalan Laksmana/Oberoi, the new ‘IN’ area of Bali. It’s one of the most well regarded restaurants in Bali and the only authentic Moroccan eatery on the island. It’s run by a Belgian/Moroccan couple.

Here you can eat like in a normal restaurant at a table - or chill Arabic style on large pillows and ground beds and smoke a Shisha (water pipe or hookah).

The
chill-out area features a large tent-like atmosphere. It feels like you
are somewhere in a Bedouin tent or Caravansary in the middle of the
desert. Here you can watch the stars (the ceiling can be slid open when
good weather), have a good look at other patrons, chat with your
friends or just listen to some Arabic and Oriental tunes played in the
background.

I just love laying on mountains of pillows, smoking a water pipe with menthol taste and drinking mint tea from small glasses!
