Established in 2004, Queen's Tandoor Indian Restaurant Bali belongs to a well-established worldwide Indian cuisine restaurant chain owned by an Indian family. Our story traces back to 1986 when Mr. Ramesh and Mrs. Sarita laid the foundation of their first restaurant, Queen's Tandoor, in Jakarta, Indonesia.
The demand for Indian wedding catering from the worldwide Indian community grew in 2000 as Bali also gained popularity as a wedding destination. Mr Ramesh, Mrs Sarita, and the young couple Puneet Malhotra and Neeta Ramchand Dulara seized this moment and established Queen's Tandoor Indian Restaurant Bali and Queen’s Catering Bali in 2004.
Puneet Malhotra is co-owner and Director of the Queen’s Bali Group, who contributes with his long-term experience in hotel management from 5-star hotels like Hyatt and Le Meridien. He ensures that guests experience an elevated dining of authentic Indian cuisine throughout all Queen’s Bali restaurants. Puneet's modern approach and innovative ideas keep the Queen's Bali Group up-to-date.
Neeta Ramchand Dulara Malhotra, a fifth-generation descendant of Indian heritage in Indonesia and a family member of the Queen's Tandoor Jakarta family, is the founder and president of BIFA (Balinese & Indian Friendship Association), an award-winning organisation with members consisting of both citizens of Indian origin in Bali and Balinese people. Neeta's creative approach to events and weddings and her culinary roots in Indian cuisine make Queen's Catering Bali the number 1 Indian Wedding caterer in Bali.
Queen's Bali’s commitment to delivering authentic Indian food has attracted an international clientele, including locals, expats, Australians, Europeans and Indian tourists throughout our locations in Seminyak, Kuta, Nusa Dua, and Ubud for 20 years. This continuous success has gained all Queen's Bali restaurants as the best Indian restaurant in Bali and has been awarded by several media and associations throughout the years.
We offer a vast menu of Indian dishes from different regions in India, from North India to the coastal area of South India. Famous dishes like the tandoori, flavoursome curries, dahls and biryanis are prepared with original Indian spices by the expertise of our Indian Chefs ensuring an authentic Indian food in Bali.
