Naughty Nury’s Phuket, also known as Naughty Nuri’s In The Forest, is the first restaurant from the iconic Indonesian chain to open its door in Phuket. Located on the busy street of Patong, the venue can easily accommodate more than 500 diners in an alfresco setting.

Their signature dish is, of course, the BBQ Spare Ribs, which was created in 1995 when Brian Aldinger and his wife, nicknamed Nuri, opened their first restaurant in Ubud, Bali. The rest is history, and since then, more than 10 locations have spread in South-East Asia. The meat simply falls off the bone and the sweet and spicy BBQ sauce provides a nice kick to the palate. Other dishes of interest are the traditional Nasi Goreng and the Satay Lilit, a Balinese-version of the tender satay style of cooking.

Naughty Nuri’s Phuket also offers great cocktails, and the team members know for sure how to provide a great atmosphere, with the regular dance off and a cool band to accompany your meal. The venue offers regular happy hours and a fantastic Sunday brunch, with all-you-can-eat options for four hours.

Parking can be found in front of the restaurant, but is limited, so it is advised to arrive early. A kids-friendly dining area is also available, with small tables perfect for children.
