Geckos Café at Desert Gardens Resort is a solid pick for a meal in Uluṟu. The coffee is excellent, and the pasta hits the mark—comforting and flavorful. Just keep in mind, prices reflect the remote location, so it’s not exactly budget dining. Still, for a tasty bite in the heart of the Red Centre, it’s a convenient and satisfying option.

The fungi pasta was great. The BBQ pizza was good. We really like the pitcher of soda. The staff were friendly and helpful. We would definitely go again.

The food was great, the price was good too. Though we had to wait more than 40 minutes. I understand it was very busy, but still. The staff was friendly. They gave us complimentary chips while we were waiting for our food. The washrooms were clean. The atmosphere was very relaxed and cool.

One of three eating places in town square at Yulara. Large indoor/outdoor cafe. Extensive menu. Went for the Fields & Forests pizza. It was actually amazing. I didn’t expect much tbh but it was a large delicious pizza with loads of mozzarella, garlic, mushroom, artichoke, olive and onion. Washed down with a rather expensive Stone & Wood Pale Age ($15 for a small bottle!!! Ouch) and Yaru fruit flavoured sparkling water. Service a little lackluster as one woman speaking to customers for at least 5 minutes while we sat and waited to be served. It was not busy at the time. Open all day.

We ate every night for dinner on our 4 night stay. Some nights were busier then others and longer wait for food, but we were always advised. Had the pizzas, pasta and arancini, all great and we ate them again and again !! Delicious food, service lacked a little , maybe busy or just inexperienced, but otherwise great.
