Awesome ice cream and great value food

We had the buffet and thoroughly enjoyed it. But the thing we kept coming back for is the vegan ice cream!

Pros: Ice cream, Buffet

Unbeatable

The offer is unbeatable in Ubud though it lacks in taste imo.
I ate better food but here I was able to taste a wide range of different things and it's still a recommendable quality.
The durian cake though was excellent. No additives, only durian some cream and coconut 😂

Hair in food

Unfortunately when I visited, the food was lukewarm and I found a hair in my dish😒Then I read other reviews on Google maps and other people have found hair too so I don’t recommend this place at all. There are many other places in Ubud you can visit instead

Cons: Lukewarm food, Hair in food

Great buffet

Very nice, affordable buffet, you pay just 50k for all you can eat. There’s good variety of Indonesian food, as well some fresh veggies to make yourself a salad. There’s also a dessert included.

delicious buffet

Everything tastes so good and fresh. Lots of veggies in the buffet. Soup, salad, condiments, mains, even bite size dessert treats. Yum!

Ala carte options only include drinks and desserts (previously offered ala carte mains are not offered).

50k per person (for one hour). We both had full plates of food for lunch. And I’m sure people with bigger appetites could really make the most of the buffet offer. 😋 Only wish we could have taken some for take away too!

Overall delightful food and flavors. Would definitely come back!

Pros: Delicious and fresh food, Lots of variety , Good deal

Cons: No ala carte options

Favorite restaurant in Bali. Good vegan food, excellent value

Ate here quite a few times during my weeks in Ubud and would recommend it strongly. For 50k (as of this review), you get an all-you-can-eat Indonesian vegan and gluten free buffet. Don't let the simple atmosphere fool you; Sawobali is worth a visit. Or ten.

They have many options that get changed often. There's soup, some salads, red rice, noodles, various tempeh and tofu dishes, skewers, mung beans, eggplant, long beans, several deep fried foods, and more. There are also a few desserts in rotation.

Water is free, but they also have an assortment of other beverages for sale if you'd like.

The only downside is the likely risk of eating too much.

Excellent food (and value)

This is perhaps the best value restaurant I've come across during my travels. There is a really good amount of choice and the food is very tasty. Highly recommended.

Great place, nice buffet

Found Sawobali restaurant near my Guesthouse and really like the food options here. The atmosphere is nice and welcoming as well as the buffet. The price you pay is well worth it. Appetizer, main meal and a small dessert.

For the people who don't understand the rules...you definitely aren't a business owner. They are quite fair and easy to follow...owner is quite nice as well when you chat to her.

Highly recommend.

Pros: Buffet, Food options, Nice owner

Yummy and affordable vegan buffet

Small, simple place that offers a vegan buffet from 12-8pm.
Doesnt look fancy but is really delocious and nicely flavoured.
We paid 50k per person for 1 hour vegan buffet all you can eat. Incl. water refill.
Different protein options, rice, noodles, potatoes. Nice, hot chili sauce.
Great place to go for when you are hungry and dont want to spend too much money.
Total recommendation!

Pros: All vegan, Really low price

Fantastic value for money

Not only is the food cheap, it’s also incredibly tasty and of a large variety. From starters and salads, to mains and desserts, all you can eat for one hour. Also sell vegan cheesecakes, ice cream, teas and coffees!

Highly recommend for an affordable and delicious meal!

Tasty and cheap

You can eat buffet for 1hour for just 50k.
They have a big variety of all vegan food.
Probably the most affordable and best tasting place in Ubud.
The food isn’t spicy, but you can add spice if you want to.
The milkshakes are awesome, but we didn’t like the cheesecakes. They offer a variety of vegan desserts included in the 50k.

Incredible Value

At Sawobali you fill your belly with salad, entrees, and desserts for 50,000 Rp (the cost of a small plate at a bule-owned restaurant before tax & fee).

Locally-owned, Balinese-centered foods, all-you-can-eat buffet, budget-price… there’s nothing to complain about.

The fresh salad bar, flavorful curries, and rich fried foods were my highlights. Trying each of the cassava- and rice-based desserts was a sweet opportunity to engage with Balinese food culture as a vegan.

You can also purchase juice, smoothie, tea, coffee, ice cream, and cheesecake. The passionfruit icecream was creamy and dreamy, but I found the cheesecake to lack the thick creamy texture and rich flavor I expected.

Pros: All you can eat vegan buffet, Inexpensive for the quantity & diversity of food

First bad meal in Bali

Don’t think I’ve been anywhere before with such a contrast to what others are saying vs how it actually is.
Buffet food was sparse and not generous in terms of ingredients at all (bread, potatoes, rice). The taste was ok. But mot great. Probably a 4/10.
Then my latte (at an additional price eventually comes out).

Pros: Edible

Cons: Woeful coffee, Mediocre food, Sparse choices
