Mediterranean Cuisine in Ubud — Mezze, Falafel & Musakka

Mediterranean cuisine overlaps with the Turkish menu at its western and southern edges — olive oil, legumes and vegetables cooked simply. This hub covers the dishes that sit most clearly in that tradition.

Quick answer

Mediterranean cooking on the SkaZka Bali menu draws on the shared Aegean and Levantine pantry — olive oil, chickpeas, aubergine and grilled vegetables. Hummus, babaganush, ezme, falafel and musakka are served daily in Ubud from 07:00 to 22:00.

The mezze base

Classic hummus, babaganush and ezme, all served with pita, form the mezze foundation. The Mezze Platter brings three kinds together for sharing, and the Big SkaZka Breakfast opens the day with the same pita, ezme, hummus, babaganush, feta and olives.

Falafel Mediterranean Plate

The Falafel Mediterranean Plate serves chickpea falafel as a full plate rather than a wrap filling, alongside the same dips and vegetables that anchor the mezze section.

Musakka and grilled vegetables

Musakka layers aubergine and vegetables in the Mediterranean baked-vegetable tradition, while Grilled Season Vegetables offers a simpler, unlayered version of the same produce.

Salads that fit the same table

CousCous Salad, Watermelon & Feta and Mozzarella Caprese all draw on the same olive-oil, cheese and vegetable pantry, and work well ordered alongside a mezze spread.
