It’s more the full experience and jungle neighborhood for me. Food very good but I miss the earlier days when there was a bit more grit and green banana leaves gave it that extra feel and taste…highly recommend for tourist experience. Loved the papaya juice! But be so careful with the seriously hot and good sambal!

One of the well-known babi guling spots in the Ubud area. The place is slightly hidden inside (need to walk past the narrow aisle), but it’s quite spacious with a nice greenery view. In terms of taste, it didn’t quite hit the mark for me. The spices weren’t as strong and flavorful for my liking. The fried pork were a bit tough (alot), but the meat is tender and plenty. The highlight was definitely the crispy pork skin - BEST I've eaten. If you come too late, the lawar might be sold out and they will replace it with sayur labu. Oh and the soup is similar with sop sayur with carrots and green beans. The price is quite steep (tax included), and fyi they only accept cash payments.

Now this place is more about hype than the substance. There was nothing that we ordered that we hated, but at the same time nothing that wowed us or we haven’t tried in the 5 other Babi guling places. When it comes to the roast pork, the skin is of course the best part. They give you just one reasonable piece! We wanted to order more of it but the staff advised it was sold out (we dined around 1pm and she recommended to come when they opened at 11am to guarantee a serving. Pointless!) everything was fine but like I said nothing out of this world and you can get at any other Balinese street store. The coconut drink was dull and flavourless. Come if you must, just don’t have any high expectations.

A delicious place for the classic Bali dish of Babi Guling. The internet said I had to get there before 11 or all the crackling would be gone and there would be queues- this wasn’t my experience; we went in high season (August) and at lunch the place was not at all full and no food shortages. Babi Guling was delicious - juicy pork and crispy skin! Very rich food. Restaurant otherwise is simple and clean.

We came around 4pm and it was raining hard we had to move table due to the wind. They have spacious seating with many tables and chairs. Perfect for big groups. The babi guling itself wasn't among my favorites, I still can smell the pork from the meat. But the babi guling goreng was so good tho! Be careful, the bumbu was quite spicy compared to other babi guling. Beware if you're not a fan of spicy food.
