Mokshu Jain Indian Cuisine: what visitors should know first
A sensible first stop for Indian families who miss home cooking in Canggu. Listings call it vegetarian and Jain-friendly, but confirm the onion, garlic and egg arrangements with staff, and check opening hours before you travel.

Why it matters
Why Mokshu Jain Indian Cuisine is worth your time
Mokshu matters because dependable vegetarian Indian food is scarce in Canggu, which is mostly cafes and warungs. Our own city guide could verify no pure vegetarian or Jain restaurant here, and this is the closest named match: a vegetarian menu with a Jain-friendly approach and a dosa and curry list that an Indian family will recognise.
We have not tagged it Pure Veg or Jain. The listings describe it as vegetarian and Jain-friendly, and reviewers say it is fully vegetarian, but none of the pages we opened spells out the rules on egg, onion and garlic in the kitchen. Treat it as a strong option and ask at the table. Hours, menu and prices change in Bali, so check the restaurant's current details before travelling.

What not to miss
- 01
South Indian and chaat
Spinach and HappyCow list starters, street chaat and South Indian dishes, with dosa among the popular orders.
- 02
Jain-friendly approach
Listed as Jain-friendly, so ask for onion- and garlic-free preparation instead of assuming it.

Late hours
Listings show it open from late morning to midnight, useful after a day on the beach.

How to experience it
Start with the Indian side of the menu. Spinach and HappyCow mention starters, street chaat and South Indian dishes, and list dosa, paratha, curry, naan and rice bowls as popular orders. A group can share a few curries with bread and add a dosa for variety.
Tell the server at the start if you need food without onion and garlic. The restaurant is described as Jain-friendly, which is a looser promise than a Jain-only kitchen, so ask how each dish is made rather than assuming. The menu also has an Indian-style pizza and Western vegetarian dishes if someone in the group wants a change.
A 2025 HappyCow reviewer found that a vegan-labelled dish contained yogurt and cream, so strict vegans and anyone avoiding dairy should confirm ingredients dish by dish. Reviewers praise quick, friendly service, though some found portions smaller than expected; order one dish more than you think you need.
