Shiv Sagar Restaurant, Seminyak

Bagus

If you’re in Bali and craving some delicious vegetarian Indian food, you gotta check out Shiv Sagar Pure Veg Restaurant on Jl. Raya Seminyak! Seriously, this place is a hidden gem. The vibe is super chill, and the atmosphere gets a solid 4.8/5.0 from visitors. It’s perfect for a cozy dinner with friends or family.

Now, let’s talk about the food. With a rating of 4.5/5.0, you know you’re in for a treat. I tried a bunch of dishes, and everything was on point! The Cheese Pav Bhaji was a standout—rich, creamy, and just the right amount of spice. And don’t even get me started on the Aloo Paratha; it was fluffy and packed with flavor. The Pani Puri was also a hit, with many saying it had the best tamarind sauce in Bali! Just a heads up, though, some folks mentioned that the preparation took a bit longer than expected, but trust me, it’s worth the wait!

One of the coolest things about Shiv Sagar is the family-friendly vibe. There’s a glass ceiling that lets parents keep an eye on the kids playing above while they enjoy their meal below. How awesome is that? Plus, the staff is super welcoming and attentive, scoring a fantastic 4.8/5.0 for service. They even went the extra mile by packing food for guests heading back to India, which is a nice touch!

For dinner, you can expect to spend around Rp175,000-200,000 per person, which is totally reasonable considering the quality of the food. The menu has a ton of options, including Jain diet choices, so everyone can find something they love. If you’re looking for a place that feels like home-cooked food, this is it!

Overall, Shiv Sagar is a must-visit if you’re in Bali and craving authentic Indian flavors. I can’t wait to go back next time I’m in town!
