About ARUM Asian Restaurant

Pair vibrant pan-Asian flavors with live Balinese theater set right over tranquil resort lotus ponds. Dinner doubles as an intimate cultural stage—dancers perform traditional Kecak, Barong, and Ramayana routines in the center room while skewers of satay combination and wok-tossed pad thai hit the tables. Diners consistently note how thoughtfully the kitchen handles severe dietary needs, reworking curries and stir-fries to be strictly gluten-free, nut-free, or dialed back on heat. Meals close out over tropical passion fruit and coconut panna cotta as the gamelan beats softly in the background.

  • Cultural Dinner Theater: Evenings feature central stage performances of Kecak, Barong, and Ramayana alongside traditional live music.
  • Attentive Allergy Accommodations: The kitchen routinely customizes pan-Asian recipes for gluten-free, peanut-free, and tree nut-free dining without sacrificing spice balance.
  • Pondside Resort Setting: Overlooks peaceful lotus ponds within the resort grounds, serving regional specialties from satay skewers to tropical panna cotta.
