I've had better

The food was OK. I have the bean Mexican wrap which was really bland. The falafel was okay but also bland.
The smoothies were nice.
The brownie was the best bit of the whole meal and I highly recommend.
For what we had it was expensive.

Pros: Brownie was heaven

Cons: Expensive for what you get, Bland food

A* for Akar

Bagel was greattt, not stingy with the topics at all and could add whatever. Coffee too was delicious with soy milk. Lovely little spot for breakfast.

Small quiet restaurant

Different dishes clearly labeled on the menu.
Also some desserts (hot chocolate brownie.. top!)
Try it if you are around!
Service a bit slow, but as all other place in Bali

Some improvement needed

This restaurant offers lots of vegan middle eastern food so we went for the falafel wrap and the falafel plate. The hummus was really good but the falafel not at all. Really dry and didn't really taste like falafel. Also the portions are not big, especially the falafel wrap was so tiny. Even though you have almost nothing on your plate, they still charge you quite a lot for the food and drinks.

Very tasty and well labelled

Very tasty food and very well labelled (vegan/ can be made vegan/ gluten free). I had the Moroccan plate which was delicious. Husband had the spicy noodles with tofu (it wasn’t that spicy) which he enjoyed. Only criticism would be the portions are on the smaller side. My Moroccan plate was 70k which I thought was quite a lot for the portion size. The noodles cost 50k which is better. For dessert we had the banana and coconut milk (tasty it was almost like a custard) and also the brownie which was surprisingly big

Pros: Well labelled , Tasty food, Yummy desserts

Cons: Portions could be bigger

Only vegetarian restaurant in Lovina

Delicious Middle Eastern food and Asian food. Middle Eastern plate is great. Red gazpacho was good. They have a vegan and gluten-free brownie!! And vegan mango ice cream. Curry and noodles were good too.

Pros: Vegan items clearly marked on menu, Only vegetarian restaurant in Lovina!

Cons: Lots of mosquitos on the back patio

Delicious vegan options

Had the bruschetta and the babaganoush. The Bruschetta is not really a bruschetta but a roasted baguette with an amazingly delicious topping. Loved it a lot. And the babaganoush is the best I ate in a while!

Homemade

We came two times for lunch here. The food is good - some more tasty, some less. But overall too expensive for what it is. You can eat inside or outside at the back or in front facing the street.

Pros: Cute green spot, Friendly personal

Cons: Expensive water, Prisey , Design of the menu

Rare Vegan Options

Akar Cafe offers an all vegetarian menu with several vegan options difficult to find in Indonesia like a middle eastern platter.

The falafel, hummus, and pita were surprisingly good and similar to what I was used to at home. The smoothie was refreshing. The samosas however were not as light and flavorful. Instead they were small, crispy, and dense.

Pros: All vegetarian, Great falafel

Fresh vegan food in Lovina

After 2 weeks traveling through Java we were desperate for some fresh veggies and - most importantly - herbs. Akar Cafe hits that spot. Recommend the oriental plate.

Süßes Café mit leckerem Essen

Zentral gelegen,

Schönes Sitzen vor dem Café oder hinten auf der Terrasse

Gute Beratung und klare Auszeichnung, was vegan ist und was nur vegetarisch

Der Pinke Smoothie, die samosa und die middle East Platte können wir sehr empfehlen.

Einfache gute Gerichte

Pros: Leckere Speisen , Gemütliches Sitzen, schönes Ambiente, Für jede Tageszeit und jeden Hunger etwas dabei

Cons: Nicht so ganz billig

One of the only veggie options

This is one of the only places in Lovina that’s fully veggie, so we did eat here a few times.

The food we had was good, especially the spicy noodles.

I just wish there were more vegan options, the majority of the menu is vegetarian with eggs or cheese.

Good dishes

We ordered the wrap with falafels and hummus and a rice salad with eggplants. Both dishes were good but it's pricey for what it is. We paid 144K.

Cons: Not full vegan

Nice food. A little pricey.

Small place, but nice decor. Was a bit pricey for an area that is not a major tourist spot. Some more vegan options would have been nice to see on the menu. Had the middle eastern plate, which was good. Nice falafel.

Great food. Needs more vegan options

We went here every day we were in Lovina. Great food and smoothies. Just not a ton of vegan options. Felafel plate was amazing. Samosas incredible. “Cookie” was awesome. If in Lovina, definitely go here.

We had the middle east plate and the mixed tapas, which were both delicious! The raw oat cacao almond cookie was a highlight too. Lovely lady, who runs the place. All in all, great experience. We'll be back!
