The short answer
Alkaline Restaurant: what visitors should know first
Choose it for light plant-based meals and juices at modest prices. It is raw food rather than hot Indian cooking, and one reviewer found the food unremarkable, so treat it as a simple option.

Why it matters
Why Alkaline Restaurant is worth your time
Raw vegan cafes are part of Canggu's wellness scene, and Alkaline has a Wikivoyage entry and a HappyCow listing. For travellers who want plant-based food, that gives one more option on Jalan Nelayan at low cost.
We have not tagged it vegan because we could not confirm its current menu from an opened source; Wikivoyage's entry dates from 2015. It does not claim Jain or Indian cooking. Its price and hours come from older entries, so confirm them, and ask staff about dairy, egg and honey. Raw food may not suit every older traveller's digestion, and travel insurance and a note of your dietary needs remain sensible whichever place you choose.

How to experience it
Wikivoyage describes the menu as raw vegan Western-Indonesian food and juices, with dishes in roughly the 10,000 to 60,000 rupiah range, though that price may be dated. Ask for the current menu and pick a juice plus one or two plates.
As the kitchen is raw, expect salads, bowls and cold dishes rather than curries or fried food. A travel blog that did not test the restaurant relayed a friend's view that the food was nothing special, so set modest expectations and treat it as a light meal.
The guesthouse setting is quieter than the Batu Bolong strip. If you need warm food, a hot drink or Indian flavours, plan your main meal elsewhere and use this for a juice and a lighter lunch.
