Good buffet for an affordable price.

If you’re in Ubud don’t miss this place. Food is basically all vegan so consider it as a vegan restaurant

Updated from previous review on 2022-07-03

Pros: Cheap and good food

Cons: A bit sweet (as per Indonesian tradition anyway)

Good vegan buffet food for a cheap price

Good vegan buffet food for a cheap price - 50k for 1 hour.

The food is good, there's fresh salad, soup, lots of tempeh and veggies. Personally, I've found many of the dishes overly sweet, but there are lots of yummy options. The rice noodles with vegetables are great.

One really off-putting thing is that they have such strict rules plastered everywhere! It makes you feel on edge - if you stay over an hour you pay twice, no children, if you break a plate you pay, pay first... I don't know if they've had bad experiences in the past but it doesn't create a nice atmosphere.

Note: While the buffet is vegan, the majority of the cakes they sell are not.

Pros: Cheap price, Fresh veg and salad included, Small dessert selection

Cons: Strict rules, A lot of the dishes are overly sweet

Disappointing

From all of the 5 star reviews I was expecting premo veg food. I do not agree. Out of the 7 dishes I tried, I only enjoyed two. The dishes didn't seem fresh and they were lacking in flavor. Also contrary to the multiple signs saying 100% vegan, there were some desserts that were not. The dinning area was very crowded and hot. I really don't like giving veg restaurants bad reviews but this was not good in my opinion.

Awesome buffet

We went there for the buffet at lunch time, it was so good. All vegan buffet and many vegan cakes.
We ate soo much food for only 75k RP, which is basically nothing for the amount you can eat. All the food was super tasty and the people were really kind. You also get more of a local experience. Would definitely recommend if you’re very hungry (or just a little).

It gets boring after a while but the selection of foods is great. Very tasty bboq tempeh and mashed potatoes. So easy to overindulge !

you get what you pay for!

75K is a bit expensive for a meal, but they have quite a large selection (10-12 hot dishes), ~6 salad dishes, lots of difference sauces, crunchy things, soup, and several dessert options. plus with premium ingredients (beet, avocado, nice mixed greens, big chunks of tempe, seaweed, etc.) and being constantly refreshed, so you can get your money's worth =)

there is quite a large drink list (separate), i didn't get a good look at it. juices, smoothies, tea, coffee. there are also Western-style desserts you can order separate as well, those are around 25-35K per slice, i think.

no photos, since i was distracted!!

i didn't know that there was a refill limit (as mentioned by another review), we ate LOTS........ really, a lot!

Sehr gutes Restaurant, unbedingt am Anfang in Ubud ausprobieren

Hier bin ich echt überrascht worden. Buffet zu einem geringen Preis, aber wirklich gut. Dazu gibt es unfassbar leckere Shakes, auch wenn Wasser bereits im Buffet enthalten gewesen wäre.

Sie bieten eine große Auswahl an glutenfreien Kuchen und Torten an. Ich muss noch mal wiederkommen. Denn die passten nach dem leckeren Buffet nicht mehr in den Magen.

Auf dem Buffet ist alles vegan, ich habe die Suppe, den Salat und alle Sorten Gemüse probiert, allesamt richtig lecker.

Meine Highlights waren die verschiedenen Currys und insbesondere das rote Curry mit den jungen Jackfruits.

Pros: Alles vegan, Glutenfrei, gutes Preisleistungsverhältnis

Cons: etwas abseits, der Weg lohnt sich

Great price and great local buffet! Quite possibly my favourite

The selection of Buffet is great, and the food is cooked and taken care of very well. Though not a fancy restaurant, attention to detail is carried out very nicely. Really wish I came here sooner!

Pros: The price is divine for what you get., All dishes, including sweets, are great

Cons: Can't think of any.

Great food and friendly staff

Great number of variations, 50k all-you-can-eat including cold water and small rice-based desserts and fruit. Staff is very friendly and explains every meal if asked. As far as it seemed completely vegan (didn't see any nonvegan products). Worth a try!

Amazing Vegan Buffet

An incredible selection of delicious Bali inspired dishes. It is all you can eat for only 50k.

I had a lovely soup, incredible mixed plate of dishes and dessert. Everything was fantastic in my opinion.

It will be hard not to eat here everyday.

Pros: Great variety , Cheap, Lovely staff

Food is better than atmosphere

Buffet is has lots of options, and excellent quality. But the place itself is charmless, aggressively lit and completely open onto a horribly busy and noisy road. There is a similar buffet at the much more pleasant and apparently quite new Yellow White, just up the road.

It can be a hit or miss

Some days everything is fresh and tastes great, other days (especially if you go for lunch) it’s definitely food from the night before and everything is dry and cold. Stuff is okay, but the owner is usually unfriendly. I‘m not sure if I would recommend it.

crab leg

I do like this place for the food. For me, it's not as cheap as others have posted, though you do offer many options. They supposedly do not use garlic and onions, but one never knows... like someone just posted in a local vegan group a video of the crab leg they found in their dish. I just wouldn't go back. My young daughter who is vegan, one of her favorite animals is crab. She would have been traumatized. I am not fond of the cakes at all, but they had cheesecake that was good.

Pros: options

Cons: you don't know what's in your food

Cheap all vegan buffet

The buffet is all vegan and they also have a lot of glutenfree options. It is very cheap as it is all you can eat for 50k. Also you have a lot of options to choose from and the food we had was very delicious. We would recommend the eggplant dish! Also water is included into the buffet price which is nice. We would totally recommend this place!

Pros: Lot of options to choose from, Cheap (+water included), Nice service!

Cons: Hot as they have no ac, Can get crowded at the buffet

Amazing!!

Was a bit dubious at first as so often buffet food isn't great however this is amazing!
There are so many dishes and everytime I looked there were new ones to try! There was a good mix of Indonesian food as well as other foods such as mash potato, eggplant in tomato sauce etc.
There's salad stuff as well as dips like pesto, cashew dips etc.
Everything in the buffet is completely vegan and all the dishes were delicious. As someone who doesn't like spice or mock meats, there was plenty for me.
All you can eat for 50,000, well worth the visit. Just be warned that everyone seems to know about this gem so can get very busy!
Some small desserts included in buffet but otherwise cakes are additional. They do so well on all the other vegan food it's a shame they don't make all the cakes vegan too.

Pros: Excellent food, Great variety , Cheap

Cons: Can get very crowded , Almost, but not completely vegan. , Can get very hot in restaurant.

Tasty, friendly and cheap

Came here twice for the buffet while visiting ubud. Food is really tasty and they are always bringing out more. The staff are really good at explaining what all the dishes are too. Not all the cakes are vegan (which is a bit strange as everything else is even milks) but are clearly marked. Definitely worth a visit.

Pros: Really tasty buffet, loads of food!, Gluten-free friendly , Cheap

Cons: Not all cakes are vegan

Not just best buffet, one of the best restaurants.

Once you eat here, it's gonna be hard to convince yourself to eat anywhere else. Some days I was here twice in one day. Great for people who are HUNGRY! For 50k you get an amazing buffet with soup, salad, bread, different kinds of rice, many mains, and desserts. The quality of the food is on par with places where you pay 50k or more just for one dish. Here you can eat all the dishes. They are continually bringing out new dishes, so by the time you eat the first plate there is usually something new on the buffet. You can also pay more for a-la-cart items, like beer, ice cream, mylkshakes and cakes. Some of the cakes are not vegan but they are marked. They got a water machine but you can't fill your reusable bottle. Nice toilet, wifi, great attentive staff. Didn't see any power outlets, but it gets quite busy for dinner for no need to sit around.

Pros: Amazing vegan buffet, Good price, Many different foods

Cons: some cakes not vegan (for no reason)

Best open vegan buffet

This place is amazing, everything is vegan and incredibly delicious. Open buffet include: At least 10 different food, salad bar, soup and different types of dressing. They also have a huge section of desserts, drinks and coffee. Theirs homemade kombucha's is so delicious too. Stuff are so kind and friendly.

Pros: More than 10 different vegan dishes, gf options

Great vegan buffet

We loved the vegan buffet and friendly staff. Would have loved less of fried options in the menu and more of fresh veggies/salads. Appreciate the guidelines toward zero waste and mindful behaviour. Did not understand why they had non-vegan desserts on options when there were vegan options good enough - in my mind that defeats the purpose of promoting veganism. The coconut milk coffee was good and the serving size surpassed expectations. Overall a must visit in Ubud.

Pros: Affordable, Good menu, Friendly staff

Cons: Presence of non-vegan desserts, Too many fried snacks in buffet
