Why it matters
Why Warung Vegetarian Jambon is worth your time
Cheap vegetarian lunches are hard to find outside the tourist strip, and a warung that covers fried rice, noodles and mushroom rendang is a practical base for a family on a budget. It lets you eat the Indonesian staples without relying on meat substitutes.
The lack of a pure-veg claim is the reason to confirm ingredients each visit. Treat it as an honest vegetarian-friendly option, not a guarantee, and use it as a plain lunch stop between sights rather than a destination meal.

How to experience it
What's New Indonesia describes this as a setting for vegetarian-friendly dining with affordable prices, and names a buffet and a la carte Indonesian staples including vegetarian nasi goreng, yamie chasiu and rendang jamur, a mushroom version of the classic beef curry.
The buffet is the easier way to start, because you can see what is on offer and point at it. Rendang jamur gives a taste of the Padang-style spice base that Indian visitors often enjoy, though the chillies can be strong, so ask for it less spicy.
Because egg is common in fried rice and noodles, say clearly that you want no egg when you order. We did not find a source stating the menu is free of egg, so no diet tag is given. Go at midday when the buffet is fresh and the room is fullest.
