A pleasant restaurant with quality cuisine and a varied menu in Kuta
Atmosphere:
Dulang cafe is an "old-timer" of the Kuta area, the establishment opened back in 1997. This is a family restaurant, and the quality of the cuisine here is only getting better year after year.
A cozy dark wood interior, nimble smiling waiters, a spacious hall - a great place to have a delicious lunch, hiding from the noise of the streets of loud Kuta.
Cuisine:
The menu is very diverse: here are hits of Asian cuisine, and classic Indonesian, and understandable European positions. Pleasant comfort food, understandable and loved by everyone.
Indonesian dishes are prepared according to home recipes: especially good are the crumbly (and not at all greasy, as usual) Nasi Goreng, thick Chicken curry and unique for this establishment Soto Buntut - a rich soup made from oxtails.
A wide selection of Asian dishes: spring rolls, Thai Pad Thai, Tom Yum and Vietnamese sandwich Banh Mi on a crispy baguette with chicken or tofu to choose from.
If you are already a little tired of Asian cuisine, try Italian pasta with spinach and mushrooms, classic carbonara or bolognese - the portions are impressive!
The salads are also large and filling - we especially liked the Vietnamese Market Salad with fresh vegetables, crispy vegetable spring rolls, tofu, pickled carrots and Nom Cham dressing.
Drinks:
Classic cocktails (mojito, daiquiri, screwdriver) are especially popular here – the geography obliges.
Their own Arabica blend is strong and not sour, I recommend it.
For those with a sweet tooth who want to cool off on a hot day, the menu includes a mocktail Summer Fruit Potion – a mix of soda, orange juice, mango and fruit sorbet.
What to try?
1. Summer Fruit Potion – a mocktail of soda, orange juice, mango and fruit sorbet.
2. Vietnamese Market Salad – a salad with fresh vegetables, crispy vegetable spring rolls, tofu, pickled carrots and Nom Cham dressing.
3. Nasi Goreng – A great homemade Nasi Goreng (fried rice) recipe with vegetables, egg, onion and your choice of chicken/tofu/seafood.
