Indus is named after the Indus valley and river that winds its way through Pakistan, Northern India, the Himalayas and China. Hailed as the “cradle of civilization’’, the Indus has seen the birth of great legends, ancient empires, religions, kings and kingdoms.
Beneath Indus flows the Tjampuhan River. Tjampuhan means meeting place, after the two sacred rivers that meet beneath the Tjampuhan bridge and symbolises the global wanderers who have crossed paths here for many centuries. Tjampuhan River is the life force of Ubud, the undisputed cultural and artistic heart of Bali.
To the east of Indus is the volcano, Gunung Agung, the home of Besakih, the Mother Temple and most venerated place of the island. Like the Indus River, our restaurant is the site of many cultures, and this is reflected in the building, the menu, our global guests and our own family. Our food reflects of the romance of foreign places and the integrity of home-style food.
The menu includes many dishes from our celebrated cookbook, Bali: The Food of My Island Home and focuses on the foods that heal, food as medicine.
Indus is the home of the international Ubud Writers & Readers Festival where Noble laureates, Booker-prize winners and acclaimed established and emerging authors from across the world engage in dynamic dialogue.

Since 1990, the Casa Luna Cooking School has been teaching Balinese cooking to travellers from all corners of the globe, providing a fascinating insight into Balinese life, beliefs and culture, through learning about its food, cooking and culinary myths. Guests learn about the exotic herbs and spices used in ceremonial and everyday Balinese dishes, and then sample the fruits of their labour with homemade hibiscus tea.
Located in the centre of Ubud, the Casa Luna Cooking School is set in the lush, tropical grounds of the Honeymoon Guesthouse in a breezy pavilion that overlooks the saltwater pool and traditional Balinese-style rooms. You can choose to stay a night or two at Honeymoon for a mini escape and enjoy a number of classes to add to your repertoire. Lead by Janet DeNeefe and the cooking school team, the classes run seven days a week and offer a variety of culinary experiences. Apart from the regular daily classes, the weekly program also includes daytime market tours, a twilight Smoked Duck class, night market tours and gourmet tours to see the production of sea salt, coconut sugar or coffee in the Kintamani highlands.
The new “Food As Medicine Class” on Saturday mornings, fast becoming the most popular class, features a vegan menu and focuses on the healing properties of spices. Dishes include tempe penyet (tempe in fresh tomato sambal), banana flower curry, pumpkin curry and coconut dairy-free gelato. Other classes offer everything from making different types of satay and gado-gado with peanut sauce, to fish in banana leaves, curries, wok-fried water spinach, yellow rice, black rice pudding and sambals. Many of the vegetables are organic and grown in the Casa Luna garden nearby, other ingredients are obtained in the village.
Classes run for around 4 hours at a time and a comprehensive recipe booklet is included with the price.
