Why it matters
Why Yeye's Warung is worth your time
Most of the restaurants in Uluwatu now cater to surf tourists and resort guests, with menus built around brunch, pizza and Mediterranean plates. Yeye's is one of the few places on the peninsula where the food is the everyday rice-and-side-dishes meal that Balinese and Indonesian people actually eat, at a price that suits a long stay.
It is named on several independent lists. Wikivoyage's Uluwatu guide includes it, and Bali Untold and Nothing Familiar both list it as a warung. For Indian families it offers something practical: you can see every dish before you choose, which makes it easier to avoid meat than ordering from a menu in an unfamiliar language.

How to experience it
Yeye's works as a self-service nasi campur counter. You take a plate, choose rice and then add the side dishes you want from the daily buffet, and the total depends on what ends up on the plate. Spinach reports typical plates in the range of about 25,000 to 40,000 rupiah, while another blog quotes lower starting prices, so treat any figure as a rough guide and check current prices.
Vegetarians should look at the dishes before pointing. Spinach describes a separate, clearly labelled vegan section of roughly five to ten dishes, with curries made from tofu, tempeh and jackfruit, and recommends the curry. It is a mixed kitchen, though, and fried chicken and other meat dishes are reported too, so keep serving spoons separate if that matters to you and ask about eggs and shrimp paste.
Fresh coconuts and cold fruit juices are sold, which suits the heat after a morning at the beaches. Reviewers praise value and atmosphere but say service can be uneven, so be patient at busy times.
