This place was super delicious and decent prices. The meat lovers pizza and nasi goreng was on point. Also they give you a couple chicken satay with your nasi dish. If you want a break from divey places to get a more relaxed setting and still cheap, then come here

Good overall food. Nothing special but it’s a crowd pleaser. There was 10 of us with a range of wants. Pizza and pasta for kids, seafood and Chinese. Even a banana split ice cream was ok. Staff were friendly and food came out quickly. Was not hard to get a table for our large group.

I got here before the crowds (18:30pmso I was able to chose my table..... if you can, get one at the back of the restaurant so you can hear the stream below, rather than the bustle from the street. On the other sideof the river is a villa with chickens. They are great entertainment to watch as they bucket about which one is roosting in the highest branches of the tree. There are little geckos to watch and bats at dusk too. I tried the banana smoothie (lush!), the Chinese dumplings for starter and Nosi Goreng for main. The restaurant Brough both out at the same time, so remember to ask for them to be brought separately if you prefer. The service is good, but feltI was watched too closely. The manager was very quick to admonish waiting staff if they hadn't picked up my empty plate straight way..... which meant I felt a bit rushed. This isn't a place to go for traditional Indonesian food, but they do offer a good choice of western flavours for those people who would prefer something a bit more familiar to eat. Good portions and I was too full for a dessert. You can lay cash or card, bit there was a bit of a kerfuffle over getting change for the cash I gave. The add service and tax on top of the price of the food. The food and drink I ordered cost 155000 IRP, with the surcharges included.... about £15. So still good value for money.

The ambiance is wonderful. I sat near the railing and you could hear the running creek and the nature. I had Nasi Goreng Chicken and Ice Coffee. They were tasty. The price is reasonable. The staff is friendly.

The restaurant is in the heart of Ubud. The food and service was really good. Enjoyed the me gorin and nasi goring. The black rose pudding for desert was also a treat. Also had a bit of the Bali grilled chicken and kong puo chicken. Overall a good restaurant with a nice atmosphere.
