Babaloo And Uma's Kitchen - Koh Tao

The food at this place really blew us away in freshness, variety and flavour. The restaurant itself is so chilled and quiet, away from the busy main road, half way up a hill. We ordered from the vegan menu, and had the fresh steamed noodle rolls with mushroom, pad pak wan with duck and tofu green curry. The food is very responsibly priced, especially considering quality and deep thai flavours of the food. Unfortunately the food is let down by the unfriendly, lazy service at the front of house. Everyone seems like they can’t be bothered, and you try and have friendly conversation or ask them questions and you get a very lazy, cold response…that is if you even get a response at all. A real shame because this would easily be a 5 star (if I could) rating from me.

The restaurant offers a wide variety of vegan dishes and multiple meat substitute options. It is recommended to order rice with your meal, as the Pad Veg dishes do not come with rice or noodles. If you plan on walking to the restaurant, be prepared for a steep uphill climb as it is situated on top of a hill. While not extremely challenging, it may be something to keep in mind, especially for inexperienced drivers.

Sell Vegan Duck, Pork, chicken, fish and tofu. Had the mock duck and chicken was incredible

We visited this restaurant about 5 times because the food was amazing. The Panang curry was exceptional, and we usually ordered it with rice and either tofu or "soy chicken." You can customize the spiciness level, and we found that medium high was perfect for us. It's definitely worth making the extra effort to dine here!

Definitely try the red curry and pad Thai. Some of the best vegan food we’ve had so far in Thailand. Must visit if you’re in Koh tao
