The short answer
Jejamuran: what visitors should know first
Worth the drive for a vegetarian-friendly meal built around mushrooms. It is not tagged pure vegetarian because we did not find an explicit statement, so ask about egg and stock.

Why it matters
Why Jejamuran is worth your time
A restaurant devoted to one ingredient gives a different view of Javanese cooking. Dishes that elsewhere need goat, beef or chicken are rebuilt around mushrooms, which shows how much of Indonesian flavour comes from spices and sauces rather than meat.
For Indian vegetarians, the appeal is the familiar structure of satay, curry and rice with no meat on the table. Egg may still appear in sauces, so check when ordering.

How to experience it
What's New Indonesia describes Jejamuran as serving Indonesian favourites in a meat-free format, and names mushroom satay, rendang jamur and tongseng jamur. Tongseng is normally a goat or lamb soup with sweet soy and spices, so the mushroom version is a clever stand-in.
Order satay and rendang first, because they are the most recognisable and the easiest to share across a table. Tongseng is soupy and spicy, so ask for it mild if you are ordering for older relatives. Rice is the natural accompaniment.
Because the guide gives only Sleman as the location, do not rely on a road name. Confirm the address through a map app or your hotel before you book a driver, and allow an hour each way from the old centre in traffic.
