Where to eat Asian food in Dili: The Best Restaurants and Bars

November 2, 2019 Ying Subia

Reviews on Asian food in Dili, Dili District, East Timor. Having endured 20 years of struggle for independence from Indonesia, East Timor's coastal capital, Dili, has made remarkable strides toward reconstruction after innumerable damages and losses. Its former Portuguese colonial flavor can still be found in remaining villas and churches along the waterfront, as well as the 65-foot statue of Jesus overlooking the coast, reminiscent of Cristo Redentor in Rio Di Janeiro. The waterfront parks and white sand beaches are popular for diving and relaxing.

Very friendly Taiwanese owner welcomed us. We tried dumplings, Sanbeiji (Taiwanese three cup chicken) and black pepper beef. All fresh and tasty. Dumplings had prawn in it, which was a pleasant surprise. Avocado juice was also very nice. Price is very reasonable. There were also one-plate options for loners. The overall experience was pleasant. We'll return.

With a mix of European, African and Timorese cuisine, Nha Casa serves paradise on your plate. The beauty of the Timorese sunsets and the smell of the warm sea breeze make you feel right at home.

Right on the beach in Metiaut. You can watch the sunset and order then move to your table when the food is ready. Everything cooked by one lovely lady. Staff are polite, friendly and well trained. Take your time and enjoy the ambience. Food serves are generous and so flavoursome. Very romantic. One of the best in Dili.

From the noodles to the tofu, from the shrimps to the chicken everything was simply delicious. It is not as expensive as people say. Yes it is for Asia but Timor Leste prices does not fit with Asian standards. (From 4 dollars a dish to 12). We only found cheaper prices going to a nasi campur or local barbecue at the beach. Other than that the price range are more or less the same in most restaurants.The location is awesome: by the beachThe staff was great. The good arrived more or less at the same time which is not very common here.So lovely place, lovely food and lovely moments.

The hand crafted mural on the Wall is indeed Great, something a very proud Uncle Daniel tells the story of it’s making in loving detail.A wide range of Asian Fusion dishes were all wonderfully imagined, prepared and presented.The garlic butter prawn starter the best I have ever had, and the whole offering was equal to the best Chinese meals I’ve had - I’d head to Dili for Great Wall before the Flower Drum any day...Bravo, Cheerio, M.

We went here to watch the sunset and it certainly delivered on the view. Unfortunately a lot of the drinks on its extensive menu were not available...including simple items such as diet coke.The place is very large but there were very few people there when we visited. We also did not have food so I honestly cannot comment on that aspect. I would try it.......its location is lovely.

The setting and location was beautiful - right on the beachfront and lovely plants in the restaurant which was open to the sea (no doors or windows). However, the food let it down. Most of the vegetables were from a frozen packet which was most disappointing as there is an abundance of fresh veges in Dili. Prices average.

Timor Thai Restaurant

Reviewed By davidmX5531CV

For truly authentic and the most delicious Thai food in Timor Leste you can't beat Timor Thai. Choose from pleasant outdoor garden surrounds to private in door dining area. Very centrally located. The owner manager Mi-Mi will always give you a warm welcome and has lots of local knowledge and sage advice.

We've been here 3 times in 2 weeks. Enough dishes to choose. Delicious food and the waiters did a great job! The first time we were surprised the waiter ran away after we ordered our starters. But that was the way to get your starters seperate from your maindish. The waiters helped us choose the best food and they chilled the wine as we asked. This restaurant made me want to visit Korea!

It’s hard to be vegetarian or vegan when you’re travelling sometimes. A friend put me onto this place the last time I was in Dilii and we tried the tofu banh mi, and fresh and deep friend veggie spring rolls. All totally scrumptious!
