Great atmosphere. The food is really good and the service is absolutely fantastic! The staff is so friendly and polite. Only been there twice but I’d definitely come back if I ever visit Uluru again.
Louisiana jambalaya was disastrously inauthentic. It must have been a vegetarian offering as there was no chicken or sausage. Zero flavor! They basically took a box of yellow Rice-A-Roni, threw in a few odd vegetables and put it in a bowl. Very disappointing 👎🏿 Barramundi tacos were ok. On a positive note, the service was excellent and attentive.
Such a delight in the outback. Fabulous Staff , Food was delish - tried the Tassie Salmon on mash & it was one of the best I’ve ever had. So good after a big day out walking around Uluru etc.
ps also Kids/small meals $18 (adults can order) perfect for late night supper .

Pira Pool Bar at Sails in the Desert offers a mix of experiences, with standout seafood dishes like Tasmanian salmon and Kilpatrick oysters receiving high praise. While some reviewers found the jambalaya lacking flavor, others enjoyed the delightful staff and quick service. The bar's setting by the pool provides a sunny atmosphere with pool tables and a well-stocked bar featuring Australian botanical products, making it an impressive spot in such a remote location.Review score

I love me a pool bar but this needs some work. The staffing is an issue here.
It’s a big ask when you’re in the middle of Australia and most of your staff are bsckpackers. Also understand logistics of making food affordable.
Staff are lovely granted but think the turnover is so high not enough experience.
First night we arrived. Got a table at 7.30pm one of the last. Service patchy.
Ordered quail and scallops. Both good but not great. Both high $30s in cost. Cocktails $27.50.
Could do with a larger menu and better priced as at night there’s only Pira and Ilkari buffet at $100 per person. Need a pool bar to be more affordable with more choice.
Such a wonderful place to have an anniversary dinner. The dinner menu was spectacular - highly recommend the Kilpatrick (Oysters, bacon, kangaroo). The seafood marinara was delicious 🤤. Finished off with the Chocolate Mousse! Mmmmm. Well done team! 👏 Our team member Oriol was a perfect and polite host. Thank you Sir!
