Not bad

I ordered the Dragon bowl, which comes with 2 skewers, and I added a third. The vegan chicken one was the most flavourful. Tofu and tempeh were okay. This was my second time eating here and I have to say I expected more. I expected certain ingredients in the dish to be hot (like the skewers and cooked vegetables), but everything was room temperature like it had been sitting out. But, the flavour was okay, portion sizes are generous, and the atmosphere is good.

There are better places

I made the mistake of ordering a tofu scramble without reading through all the ingredients, so it came with parmesan on top, which is a little weird, but ok. The taste was good, but a very small size for the money I paid.
Another weird thing was an employee bringing in a pack of meat, probably for the employees. Nevertheless this should not happen in a vegetarian restaurant.

Incredible Flavor

Been here several times over the years. Always amazing. Vegan satay and tofu skewers are next level! Will come again and again.

Sadly underwhelming

Not the worst thing I have eaten..... sure not the best. Got the pad thai, menu didn’t state mushrooms and it was full of them. Actual flavour was not bad. But it was covered in a heavy satay sort of sauce and all sticky. Not like pad thai. Not my cup of tea that’s for sure. Also ordered the tofu skewers, tofu had a strange taste to it, so that didn’t get eaten either. Pretty disappointed. Won’t be back. Nice looking place though. A bit pricey for Ubud.

Vegan skewers are amazing !

That's a cosy place with dim lights, but before seating you already know that the bill won't be cheap. I ordered a Dragon Bowl (no joke) which is served with 2 skewers... the bowl is ok, not unforgettable, but you can choose the skewers, I choose the vegan skewers... what a surprise ! So delicious I ordered 3 more... Forget the bowl, just ask for the skewers.
I didn't pay attention at first to the wooden thing with a small "white pill", next to some water... that's the napkin ! You put the white pill in the water, and... magic ! So funky :-)

Pros: Setting, decorations, and... skewers !

Cons: Price

Little pricey but nice

This place is quite dimly lit and has all the chill vibes you need.
Tried the balinese pad thai and sate (mushroom & tempeh nicest) and the sauce is good too.
4-stars until i have tried more dishes.

Definitely would visit again.

Pros: ambiance, taste

Cons: pricey

Lovely unique place

Love the look and feel of this place. Dimmed lighting, but with a fairy light feel. When you want service at your table to put the light above the table on.
I had pad thai and a side of broccoli. Both were delicious! Id been here before and think the vegan nuggets were really good too.

Pros: Very friendly staff, Great food, Plenty of vegan options

Cons: Vegan options not marked on menu, On expensive side for ubud

Nice treat, loved the cocktails and skewers

The food we had was really good. I had the 666 southwest bowl with the vegan satay skewers (swap honey dressing for balsamic) and my boyfriend had the chick’n wrap. Both were really tasty. Cocktails were good too, can’t remember the name of mine but it has chilli in and was a bit spicy which I love. Vegan options weren’t marked which always frustrates me a bit but the staff were good at helping us choose. Would be nice to have more vegan options especially when it comes to dessert and the dessert cocktails. Was pretty expensive for ubud, but still worth a visit.

Pros: Tasty food, Cool place, Nice cocktails

Cons: Expensive, Vegan options not marked, Lack of vegan desserts

A hidden gem

An absolute must visit in Ubud! We came across this place randomly one evening, and it was incredible. Not sure if it's 100% vegetarian but has loads of choice for both veggies and vegans. My friend and I weren't super hungry so shared the beetroot and goats cheese salad, the ginger and chili edamame and some sushi. All 3 dishes were exquisite. We also finished off with a vegan berry cheesecake, which was very good although nothing spectacular. The setting itself is lovely and cosy, with lovely staff.

Great food and venue

This is a beautiful place with amazing food and quick service. We had chicken nuggets, jackfruit wraps and sushi cones and looooved jackfruit wraps! Sushi cones were hard to eat as the shell was very chewy. Overall we had great experience

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Very quick service

Cons: Not many vegan deserts

Wow! Wow! Wow!

Wow! That's all we could say when we visited this restaurant in Bali. From the decor to the service to the food and drinks everything was top notch! The service is interesting you pull on a string which lights up a red light bulb and the server then comes to your table. The food was just amazing - so well presented and it tasted "Chef prepared". We had the vegetarian skewers, 666 Jackfruit Poutine Thai Green Curry, Mango Cider, Blended Kombucha and finished off with the Chocolate Coconut Addict! We wanted to go back a second time but they were all booked up. Loved this place!

Pros: Vegetarian/Vegan Options, Great Service, Great Ambiance and Decor

Expected more

After reading lots of great reviews for this place I thought we’d try it whilst in ubud. We had the skewers (satay, tempeh & mushrooms), a mushroom pie, jackfruit wrap and fries. Unfortunately the mains were very underwhelming. The jackfruit was probably the worst I’ve ever had - very slimy and didn’t really taste that great either. It was also really spicy which wasn’t advertised. The mushroom pie was just ok but definitely nothing special. The skewers and fries were good but not enough to fill us up so after leaving half of our meals we decided to go somewhere else afterwards. The drink also had a very unpleasant aftertaste. Perhaps we just picked the wrong things or it was an off day... but based on our experience I wouldn’t recommend it.

Pros: Skewers were nice

Cons: Overall food was disappointing , Drink had a weird aftertaste

Amazing vibe, delicious food

Food was so delicious, the atmosphere is beautiful. The service was some of the best in Ubud.
Nice date night spot after dark. But also had larger tables for groups.

One of my favorite restaurant in Ubud

There are so many vegetarian and vegan options.
The food are amazing and tasty, also good service and friendly staff.
Sometimes there are full of people especially at dinner time so if you want to get seat, making reservation is better.

Big disappointment

We ordered 5 dishes for a total of over 300k and since it’s relatively expensive and has lots of good reviews had high expectations for the food. However the food turned out to be rather disappointing... all of it was so greasy it was literally dripping oil. The sauce for the samosas had definitely already gone off. Overall it was just way overpriced bad fast food that we didn’t even finish although we were still hungry. I really hope other people don’t fall for the good reviews.

Cons: Expensive, Too greasy , Taste bad

Delicious food in a cool atmosphere

Really enjoyed Kismet and their vegan dishes. They even do stuff with mock meat, which can be difficult to come by in Ubud. Especially great for those who fancy a slightly dirtier meal amongst all the healthy vegan food.

Pros: cool interior and vibe, tasty food, mock meat

Cons: slightly pricey, most vegan options not marked on the menu

Great food

I wish we could give this restaurant 5 stars. They were very knowledgeable about the vegan lifestyle and made sure we had the best experience possible. Everything we ordered was outstanding. I wish we had more time to go back.

A fantastic experience!

Very small restaurant with gorgeous decor, lovely atmosphere and the best food I had on my recent trip. I highly recommend the edamame (cooked with coconut oil instead of butter), the salad bowls with mixed skewers, and the cocktails! I'll definitely be going back next time I'm in Bali.
