In Reply to: Ubud restaurant... Can only pick one :( posted by Stone on Thursday, 19. January 2012 at 19:33 Bali Time:
I haven't been to the other two but did try Indus a couple of years ago. I'd have to say it was the worst meal I've had in Bali. The waitress was surly and didn't write the order down (not sure if this is normal or not for this place). We got our entree which was nice - a shared starter platter. But the main meals just never showed. Others who had come in after us were eating and leaving. We had to ask about our mains and remind her what we'd ordered. About 5min later they turned up, barely warm. The nasi goreng was gluggy and had a chicken bone in it, the rendang was Ok but kind of bland and the third meal, I don't recall what it was but was not spectacular.
Then we couldn't get anyone's attention to get the bill. Eventually we walked away from the table to find someone and were directed downstairs to a desk where they promptly ignored us standing there for about 5 minutes before settling the bill.
I wouldn't go again and wouldn't recommend the place. Our driver was shattered because he's the one who recommended we eat there. Maybe it was just a bad day but there was just not anything appealing enough to give it another try. There's plenty of restaurants in Ubud that have gorgeous views.
