Ankhusa Restaurant Ubud by Wonderspace

A Jungle Dining Room Above Ubud

Twenty to thirty minutes north of central Ubud, Ankhusa Restaurant Ubud by Wonderspace sits at Jl. Raya Desa Kenderan No. 88x, wrapped in lush greenery, river sounds and views that guests call “breathtaking.” It’s closely tied to Aksari Resort Ubud, so the restaurant, pools and villas all meld into one jungle hideaway.

Open daily from 07h00 à 23h00 (certain sources mention 06h30), it’s a place people settle into for long breakfasts, lazy lunches and candlelit dinners.

Atmosphere, Architecture and That View

Reviewers repeatedly point to bamboo architecture, infinity pools and a waterfall just below the restaurant as the star of the show. Guests mention hearing birds, the river and rainforest while they eat, with one noting that only slightly loud jazz broke the otherwise perfect natural soundtrack.

The setting feels romantic and secluded, described as a “secret oasis” and “perfect for a honeymoon or peaceful getaway.” Several visitors say they came for a drink and ended up lingering for hours.

Food: From Megibung Feasts to Asian Breakfasts

Most diners describe the food as delicious, beautifully plated and “cooked to perfection,” whether it’s breakfast, lunch or dinner. Asian-style breakfasts, Nasi Campur, a Billionaire Burger, Thai Chicken Mango Salad and Seared Salmon all earn praise, as do colorful fruit plates, fresh juices and a cappuccino some call “fantastic.”

Ankhusa also leans into cultural experiences: the Balinese Megibung sharing feast and a “full royal experience” are cited as memorable highlights, with one guest trying very traditional food and even traditional dress.

Not all feedback is glowing. A few critics, especially those on prepaid vouchers or packages, feel the cuisine can be “nothing special” for a premium price, and one guest found a BBQ pork dish too salty.

Service: Names Remembered, Needs Anticipated

If there is a consistent theme, it’s service. Guests frequently single out staff by name – Bintang, Korja, Awan, Juni, Billy, Lovi, Ayu, Septiari, Putu and others – for being warm, attentive and genuinely kind. Many mention that team members remember names, room numbers and preferred seats, and proactively ask about dietary allergies or spice tolerance.

Service is often described as “next level” and “100/10,” with drinks refilled before they’re empty and birthdays marked with cake and song. A few isolated reviews, however, report long waits: one family notes a roughly 40‑minute delay on dishes, while another waited more than 1.5 hours and felt portion size and quality didn’t justify the price.

Pricing, Packages and Perceived Value

Ankhusa clearly targets a higher-end segment. One family dinner came to around 2.3 million IDR, and several guests arrived via Luxury Travels or other packages with set inclusions. These bundles – breakfast, lunch and dinner packages, afternoon tea, romantic dinners – are appreciated for simplicity, but some guests find the selection on inclusions limited.

There is also a recurring note that you pay as much for the setting as for what’s on the plate. One disappointed diner, despite receiving a 15% discount and multiple apologies after a long delay, questioned whether the overwhelmingly positive reviews are fully representative.

Location and Resort Experience

The restaurant’s position in Tegallalang makes it a deliberate journey rather than a quick drop‑in from downtown Ubud. Several guests highlight private pool villas, yoga classes with teachers like Putu and Putri, spa and gym access, and the pleasure of eating every meal on site over multi‑night stays.

Morning yoga overlooking the resort is often mentioned as a highlight that pairs naturally with a generous breakfast, while others simply enjoy afternoon cocktails to the sound of the waterfall. For many, it’s the combination of food, service and nature that makes leaving difficult.

Who Will Love Ankhusa

Ankhusa Restaurant Ubud by Wonderspace suits travelers who value scenery, attentive hospitality and romantic, resort-style lingering over strict culinary “value for money.” Those willing to travel beyond central Ubud and pay premium prices are rewarded with jungle views, memorable service and a setting that feels far from the everyday.
