Seems that succes can break your cooking level down. Exactly one year ago this little cafe was new at this spot and the food was delicious indonesian flavour. Now it is just okay, with a soto ayam that tastes like dutch chicken soup ;( too bad. We will not come again!

When I left Lombok last year I was the mayor in this restaurant. Coming back this year was disappointing! Soto Ayam is not bad but not the right bumboes or maybe no bumboes? It was a Europeeen chicken water soup. That's not where we came for! Sate daging sapi served standard with peanut sauce and no ketjap sauce? Nobody asked?... More

This place was very popular especially given we visited at a quiet time of the year. The food we had was very good for a great price. The decor was plain. Certainly would eat here again.

There is a free pickup and drop off service which saved us the half an hour walk from southern Singiggi. The Thai food was good, chicken green curry, fish cakes, we also had grilled prawns (which were a little over cooked). The bad dish was the papaya salad which made wayyyyyy too much shrimp paste or something that gave a... More

The thing that I liked most about bumbu was that Martin (the owner) is a local. Upon entry in what appears to be a pretty average place Martin brought my gfriend and I a complimentary vodka cocktail with fresh juice. The menu is exceptionally good value with great options for vegetarians and a lot of Thai, Indonesian, western and Lombok... More

Good value, tasty Thai food with efficient and friendly staff. They drove us back to our hotel for not much more than a taxi fare. We'd definitely go back.

We had dinner twice in this restaurant during our 4 days stay in Senggigi. My partner had Red curry and Green curry, both dishes are excellent. I had Masaman curry and Soto sapi and they are really good. The restaurant is small but with good setting, so it was really nice. The two nights we went there, it was always... More
