Bali Food Delivery Guide: How to Order with Grab & Food Picks

Whether you’re traveling around Bali or staying for a while, there are days when you just don’t feel like leaving your accommodation. And on days like that, food delivery comes in very handy.

Luckily, ordering food in Bali is easy once you know which apps to use and how they work.

In this Bali food delivery guide, I’ll walk you through the main delivery apps, how to order food using Grab, how to find and apply discounts, and three of my favorite delivery spots in Canggu.

The two main food delivery apps I used in Bali were Gojek and Grab.

Both apps can be used for ride-hailing as well as food delivery, so I recommend downloading both before your trip.

There are also three things worth setting up before you leave for Bali:

1. Download the apps, create an account, and verify your phone number

2. Add a payment card

3. Enable location services

Once you’ve taken care of these in advance, you can start browsing restaurants and ordering food as soon as you arrive in Bali.

I’ll use Grab as the example here.

1. Open the Grab app and tap “Food.”

2. Check your delivery address.

If you’ve enabled location services, the app should automatically detect your current location and use it as the delivery address.

Still, always double-check that the address is correct.

If you want your food delivered somewhere else, enter the correct delivery address manually.

3. Choose your food.

Once your address is set, it’s time for the important part: choosing what to eat.

Pick the dishes you want, add them to your cart, check your delivery address again, and select your preferred delivery option.

Before placing your order, scroll down to the payment details section and check the available offers.

You’ll see a list of discount coupons that can be applied to your order.

When I used Grab in Bali, I was often able to apply multiple available coupons to the same order.

I usually applied the ones offering the biggest discounts first, and occasionally the final price ended up being almost half the original amount.

Definitely worth checking before you hit the order button.

And that’s it!

After placing your order, you can check the estimated delivery time in the app.

Once a driver has been assigned, you can also follow the delivery status in real time.

Knowing how to use the delivery apps is one thing, but then comes the harder question:

What should you actually order?

There are tons of options in Canggu, so here are three places I ordered from regularly and really enjoyed.

👑 My favorite orders

1. Special fried rice
2. Regular fried rice + Lalapan chicken with fresh sambal
3. Fried noodles + Lalapan chicken with fresh sambal

If you just want one dish, the special fried rice is a solid choice.

The portions weren’t particularly large, though, so I loved ordering either the regular fried rice or fried noodles together with the Lalapan chicken.

Honestly, there were mornings when I woke up early because I wanted to eat this. 😂

The restaurant usually opened early in the morning and often closed earlier in the afternoon once ingredients sold out, so I recommend ordering in the morning or early afternoon.

❗The fresh sambal that comes with the Lalapan chicken can be very spicy, so keep that in mind when ordering.

👑 My favorite orders

1. Chicken Black Pepper Rice Bowl
2. Chicken Teriyaki Rice Bowl
3. Chicken Peanut Basil Rice Bowl

This place serves simple rice bowls with rice and your choice of chicken, and there are plenty of different options to choose from.

You can choose between regular and large sizes.

For me, the regular size was filling enough for one meal.

Overall, the dishes were well seasoned and I enjoyed everything I tried here.

Another thing I liked was that it was open 24 hours, so I could order whenever I wanted without worrying much about the time.

👑 My favorite orders

1. Glazed Churros
2. Crème Brûlée Donut

This is a great spot for donuts, and I enjoyed pretty much everything I tried. But if there’s one thing I’d recommend ordering, it’s the Glazed Churros.

They’re basically churros made in the shape of a glazed donut. Mine were fried after I ordered them, so they arrived warm and crispy.

If you like churros, definitely give these a try. 🥨

And that’s pretty much everything you need to know to get started with food delivery in Bali.

Once you’ve downloaded the apps and set everything up, ordering food is really straightforward.

Whether you’re traveling around Bali or staying for a longer period, there will probably be days when you just want to stay in your accommodation and take it easy. On those days, ordering food through Grab or Gojek can be a very convenient option.

So if you don’t feel like heading out for a meal, open the app, find something good, and enjoy a lazy meal at home. 🍽️
