Ali’s Smoke House in Phuket is a grill café — an easy stop after a workout or when you’re simply craving a filling dinner. It’s open daily, so you can sort out your meal without spending time searching for a place.
The menu is built around grilled, protein-focused food: juicy beef and chicken skewers, kebabs and lula-style minced kebabs, chicken wings, fish steaks, and falafel wraps. The ribs are a standout (including pork — tender enough to come cleanly off the bone), and the BBQ combo platters are a popular choice. Portions are generous, the meat arrives hot and satisfying, and you’ll also find a house salad plus sides like grilled vegetables and corn. Drinks lean “fitness-friendly” too: shakes and protein drinks, along with smoothies and desserts.
The selection is genuinely large, so it’s easy to tailor a meal to your goals — higher protein, lighter options, or something with more spice. Service is typically quick, and orders don’t usually take long.
The vibe is cozy and photogenic: comfortable seating, music (sometimes with Arabic notes), an air-conditioned area, fans, and even power outlets by the counter. If you’re ordering takeaway, it’s worth checking your items before you leave. And if you’re expecting a very classic presentation, a few dishes (like koobideh or shawarma) may be more of an acquired taste. Prices are mid-range overall, with some items edging into the upper-mid bracket.
