Very tasteful, best value for money in Bali

Incredible tasteful, everything on palm leaf, nice presentation of the dish. The restaurant is very close to the Monkey forest and very practical to get quick meal there after visiting the forest. When we visited there was no other costumers, the atmosphere/first appearance in not really modern but do not let this fool you, the food is the best.

Do not miss!

Authentic Balinese food, with the price and service to match. We had the Rendang and it was incredible, our server told us it was made from mushroom and it was one of the tastiest things I’ve ever eaten. There was such a nice variety with the meal, well balanced. We also ordered the sweetcorn fritters because they’re a favourite of ours. Two juices to go with, came to around Rp150k! The staff were so friendly and seemed genuinely happy that we enjoyed our meal so much. You must visit when you’re in Ubud!

Pros: Some of the best food I’ve had in Indonesia, So cheap , Friendly service

Best Food I've Had In Bali!

This the best authentic Balinese food I had as a vegan in Bali. It is so cheap and so brilliant. Don’t be put off if there’s no one else in, the food selection is incredible. Highly highly recommend.

Best vegan food ever

What a beautiful little oasis in Ubud - right in the centre of town. The vegan nasi babi guling is out of this world one of the best things I’ve ever eaten.

Pros: Extensive vegan and vegetarian menu, Lovely atmosphere, Wonderful staff

not a typical campur

they have a huge balinese and western selection and the owners are very welcoming. i ordered nasi campur, they have different types and different rice. the toppings were different from a typical campur, included “meat”, “fish”, curry, tofu tempe and more. the rice is tasty as well. some toppings were quite salty, but in general i had a good dinner at a place that i can recommend.

Balinese and Indonesian vegan food

We ate Nasi Campur, Nasi Rendang, Nasi Bebek Goreng (mock duck), corn fritters, and a dessert called Kolak (with banana and yam in sweetened coconut milk), along with iced coffee with soy milk, lemongrass ginger tea, and lemon tea. Everything we ordered was tasty. The rendang was a bit salty for my taste, but otherwise great.

Just a note to be careful: they don’t list it on the menu, but they do provide honey if someone asks (I found this out when I made sure the lemon tea didn’t have any honey in it).

Pros: Friendly staff, Large portions, Reasonable prices

El mejor vegano de la isla

Tulasi es un restaurante súper local. Tienen muchísimas opciones de comia local veganizada, y bastante barata. Las imitaciones de costillas, pollo, pato y pescado nos volaron la cabeza. La familia es súper amable además.

Lovely food and staff

The food was delicious and served very quickly. It was also really cheap for vegan food in Ubud (30-50k). The lady who runs the restaurant was really nice and friendly, had a nice conversation with her.

Pros: Cheap, Delicious , Nice staff

Good food and location

The food was nice although the names on the menu were a bit confusing, e.g. pork. I had to double-check that my meal was vegan.

Pros: The place was cozy , Quiet, We were the only customers

Cons: Service was slow, The coke was served without a glass, food a bit too seasoned for children

Small, no-frills restaurant with Balinese dishes

Tulasi Vegetarian offers a range of vegan Balinese and other Indonesian dishes (plus some western dishes). I ordered a Balinese tempeh dish that was very satisfying, along with a mixed juice. The hot (spicy) condiments were served on the side. This is a small, no-frills restaurant with relatively cheap dishes. The service was prompt.

Pros: Authentic Balinese food, Inexpensive, Prompt service

Really good main dish and lukewarm/cold side dishes

Unfortunately, my experience at this place was not great ...

First, when I asked for water, I was given a large bottle (1.5L) without a glass.
Then, I received not what I had ordered. Instead of the Mie Goreng Special (fried noodles with side dishes), I got the Nasi Goreng Special.

So far, not great but also no big deal.

The food was ... cold. At least all the side dishes (skewers, some veggie fritter and tofu/tempeh) were definitely not heated before serving.

This may sound like a small thing, but it really threw me off and I didn't enjoy my meal, even though the main dish was good.

I don't want to be too harsh. I am not sure if the older gentleman who was serving me was fully able to do the job. But still, I won't be going back.

Cheap and filling

Very lovely place. It was 30k for fried noodles. I liked it and would come again, but there are many lovely places to experience too.
Salad with really nice dressing on.

Cons: Slow service, Added tax without stating so on menu

Not bad

Food was good, although some bits were cold so it threw me off. But the main rice or noodles were good. I went a couple times and food was better when I went right after they opened. Good location to the monkey forest and the restaurant is quaint.

Super variety of nasi campur!

I had never seen a place offering so many types of nasi campur, or so many little sides within one nasi campur dish. The ones we got had a lot of different flavours and textures and we ended up happy and also very satisfied with the amount for the price. 45k plus tax for the biggest campur.

Pros: tasty, varied, filling for the price

Cons: food is not reheated enough, tiny space, can't bring groups

Cold and uninspiring food

I ordered nasi camper - a lot like a thali in indonesian style. But sad to say, altho food tasted somewhat decent, the dishes were either cold (like the tempeh and the corn fritters), or reheated (like the rice which was crusted over on top). I was really hungry after a long day in the sun and was able to eat it but wld not recommend it. 3/4 of the taste of veg food lies in its freshness and this meal just didnt cut it.

Pros: Nice spicing

Cons: cold food and grungy cafe.

Good food, BUT...

The food was good although luke warm but...
1. The guy working there didn't know the meaning of the term "vegan"!
2. When he took our order he reassured me several times that the meal I ordered contains no peanuts only to tell me it has peanut sauce after I asked the waitress when the food got served. If I wouldn't have been this suspicious, this lunch would've ended in hospital for me!!!
When asking for the bill tax was added to the prices shown in the menu which I never experienced in Indonesia.

Prima menu

Uitgebreid menu, restaurant leek dicht maar toch wilde de mevrouw wel voor ons koken.

Tempeh burger was een beetje mushy maar de curry was lekker.

Pros: Ruime keuze , Opties om te veganizen

Pretty good

We arrived and weren't sure they were open. Pretty run down looking. But we decided to stay. The rice mix meal was delicious! And we had noodles and fried rice. Very cheap and the people who ran it were super friendly. The monkeys running around were entertaining while we waited.

Pros: Unclear pricing on menu, Cool monkey entertainment , Cheap

Cons: Monkeys breaking in kitchen 😂, Food took a while

Not great

I went in the evening and had to sit in the dark outside. Perhaps I should have left, but I was the only one there and the owner was so enthusiastic and welcoming, so I thought I'd give it a try. Using my phone flashlight to see the menu, I ordered "my salad" but it was very average and a very small portion size for the price. I also asked for vegan, and it came with cheese on top. The owner said that it was soy cheese but I'm not 100% confident in that. I have a feeling some of the other dishes are much more impressive, but with so many incredible options in town, I don't think I will rush back. Friendly staff.

not quite, folks

I ordered a drink after trying to order some items which weren't showing pricing on the menu. I've been to this place before and have had the same experience as others in terms of overcharging (attempts) based on what was on the menu.

I ordered only a (carrot) drink which seemed to be severely watered down. The bill was about 18% over the drink price which could be their service + something else tax. I think they're cutting their own throats, frankly.

A restaurant such as this may remain competitive by delivering the bill exactly matching pricing as shown on the menu. Main St, Ubud can differ to that point.
And water in the drinks might work in Kuta but Ubud won't sustain that.

Pros: has potential to value price—overhead looks cheap, convenient to Monkey Forest Rd., friendly staff

Cons: overpriced, stealth tax and/or dishonesty, some missing menu prices & language barrier

Nothing special, expect the atmosphere

Cozy place, friendly staff, but the food wasnt overwhelming.
Advertised local prices, atleast close, but not as cheap as expected.

Pros: Atmosphere is very calming, Staff is friendly, Good sized portions

Cons: Its not very tasty, but I was full (which is good), Confusing menu
