Book NowAbout Happy Buddha Vegetarian
Happy Buddha proves you don't need meat—or hefty resort bills—to get proper Indonesian depth in Kuta. Plant-based diners and curious regulars crowd the modest dining room for rich mock-meat rendang simmered in spiced coconut milk, smoky satay skewers, and fragrant plates of char kway teow. Everything rolls out of the kitchen strictly without onions or garlic, keeping dishes compliant with pure Buddhist vegetarian standards. The service is warm and unassuming, the portions stay hearty, and the bill arrives at warung-level prices. Note the afternoon break between lunch and dinner before heading over for a bowl of citrus-tinged mie bakso.
- Mock-Meat Indonesian Classics: Dishes rely on soy and plant proteins to replicate Indonesian staples like beef rendang, duck, and mutton satay.
- Allium-Free Kitchen: Every recipe is prepared strictly without onions or garlic, catering cleanly to Buddhist vegetarian and vegan diets.
- Pocket-Friendly Pricing: Generous mains and noodles run at local counter rates well below typical resort-area pricing.
