amazingly tasty and cheap

I can't believe anyone says Vege Karma (next door) is better! Sawobali has at least 10 fully vegan curry, veg and bean dishes and 2 types of rice at all times and they are always hot. The turmeric broth seems to always be on and is soooo tasty. For 50k you can't beat this place and you can have unlimited water for free. My favourite place in Ubud

Pros: all vegan except milk on coffee cheap great variet

Cons: bad wifi - but maybe you could try chatting with p

Go hungry!

For the price and variety I was really impressed with the quality of the food. It was not oily or bland as often the case with buffets but fresh and very flavourful. The plates were refilled with different dishes all the time and even some fruit and dessert is included in the price.
Your best bet in Ubud when you are really hungry.

Mediocre buffet

Came here for the first time and buffet food was cold which is odd considering how hot it was outside while visiting. Food was mediocre and a bit bland, especially compared to Veggie Karma's buffet directly next door. Not all desserts here are vegan like their sign inside says, so be aware. Overall it was just a cramped environment with ok food. Prices are reasonable.

Delicious and cheap

Buffet with a lot of choices for 50.000 Rp. A big variety of Indonesian vegan food and everything of it was very delicious!

Pros: cheap, all you can eat, friendly staff

Cons: very small place so not much space

Outstanding food at an incredible price

If in Kubud you simply have to eat here. The all you can eat buffet is a party for the taste buds. Everything is absolutely delicious and freshly made. AND they sell (and make) the best vegan ice cream I’ve ever had.

Pros: choice, price , run by a super nice family

Best value for money

"Can't afford veganism" is just no excuse anymore. This buffet is AMAZING.
Took many omni-friends here and they all loved it and told me they definitely will come back.
Buffet - All you can eat (!!) - has some main dishes they have everyday but some of it changes daily. Lots of tempeh, tofu, fresh salad, tomato and cooked veggies.

Excellent value for money

All-you-can-eat buffet at a very reasonable price (50.000 rupias), a vast choice of desserts (for which you will have to pay extra) and friendly staff, this a special combination that will make you want to come back more than once. The buffet is comprised of hot dishes, salads, soups, fruit and water. You can eat as much as you can and come back for more if you are not full with the first round. There are some things that are better than others but all in all the food tasted good and there is a surprisingly wide choice. I will surely become a regular during my stay here

Pros: Cheap, Vast choice, Friendly staff

great food & superb staff

Incredibly friendly team. The buffet is available for a great price and features a lot of classic dishes but also some stuff I've never seen before (coconut salad?). The cakes are also super nice. Definitely a good lunch spot, I'll come back.

Nothing beats this place in Ubud!!!

When we first came to Sawobali, we were left amazed how rich and delicious their buffet table is. Besides the regular Balinese dishes they are serving free water, fruits and a dessert - all for 50k! We filled our tummies and we're very happy. Also, mango and apple cakes as well as vegan milkshakes are very delicious.

Pros: Full buffet of 100% vegan dishes, Inexpensive

Best Buffet!!!

I spent 2 weeks eating at this place daily. Best buffet in SEA!!! Cheap, huge variety, delicious. Lovely staff, great karma. Buffet had more than a dozen fresh, hot choices, plus some fresh veggies, crackers, filtered water, and soup.
Come an hour after they open as not everything is available right away. Also great location, right in front of largest supermarket in town (big C).

Pros: Price, Delicious and Healthy food, Endless amount

Cons: You tend to eat too much

Great vegan food with variety.

My wife and I are so happy we found this place. It is located across our hotel ( by the Yoga Barn) and the food is delicious and has rich flavors without using any onions or garlic or msg. Vegan or not, everyone should try this place.

Excellent rapport qualité/prix

J'étais venue prendre le diner: soupe de citrouille et crème de coconut. Un délice pour 30 000 $ IDR. Le buffet à 50 000$ IDR était tout aussi savoureux. Menu du buffet changeant régulièrement. Grand éventail de gâteaux végétaliens et végétariens. Je devrai revenir sous peu... Wi-fi

Pros: Soupe, salade et 10 choix (buffet), Le buffet vegan le moins cher d'Ubud!, Eau incluse avec le buffet

Cons: Rue bruyante , Pas d'ambiance, Toilette ayant besoin d'un bon ménage!

Such flavour!

One of the best meals I had in Ubud was this all you can eat buffet for only $5AUD. So delicious. Some of the cakes (sold separately) aren't vegan, just ask on the day. Highly recommend!

Vegan buffet

Perfect place in Ubud when you're hungry, vegan and love good food! The small restaurant is located close to monkey forest and has inside/outside seating. We went there twice during our stay because the food is incredible and we were hungry. The portions in other restaurants tend to be very small sometimes. They had pulled Jackfruit, marinated Tempeh, Tofu, rice, eggplant, long beans and several other dishes. The price per person is 50.000 rubiah which is roughly 3,50€. Tho the meals are all gluten-, garlic- and onion-free everything was delicious. Vegan icecream, cakes and cookies are also available but we never managed to eat a dessert.

Go there!

Wonderful

This buffet is wonderful - everything full of flavour and so so delicious... You pay very little and you can eat how much you want and it is really difficult to stop coz it's so delicious. The only con I have is that when the buffet is fully vegan, the cakes are mostly non-vegan :( :( All the most amazing-looking cakes contain eggs... Dear owner - if you are reading this - I love you but please, make the desserts vegan.

Pros: delicious, cheap, nice owners,eat as much you want, free filtered water,

Cons: non-vegan cakes

one of the best all you can eat buffets ever

I've been here three times within five days - absolutely worth it. water is for free. buffet is vegan and gluten free and differs a little every day. staff is just super nice and likes to tell you more about the food!! Couldn't spent 50k better than here.

Pros: extraordinary dishes, only a little spicy, free wa

Cons: your stomach hurts after having so much good food

one of the best deals in ubud

Only 50k for all you can eat! You won't find anywhere that cheap on the main strip of ubud. Cakes and drinks are extra, but I recommend getting a chocolate milkshake, they put a fat blob of vegan ice cream on top and it's amaaaaaazing!

Bagus sekali!

This place is great! the vegan buffet is such good value and there are ten different dishes to choose from. Don't forget it's all you can eat so pace yourself.

They also do cakes but not all of them are vegan so check before you purchase. The vegan cakes are baked not raw which is a nice change, I tried the banana and passion fruit was incredible.

We will definitely be eating here again.

Wow!

While I can't say that I was a big fan of the cake or the ice coffee I had here, the buffet was absolutely sensational! The food was fresh and tasty, and not swimming in oil or covered in salt. There was plenty of variety with lots of protein dishes and vegetable dishes also.

You absolutely MUST try the vegan ice cream here. It was some of the best I've ever had anywhere.

Pros: Excellent food, Amazing low price, Really friendly owners
