  The minute you walked in you feel like you are at someone’s house that live in forest. The food took time to come out but was worth the wait. They took the time to cook the food fresh that you can see and taste. Have some time available to eat there, not when you are in a hurry. Enjoy the whole experience. I would come back with the next visit to BMT.

  Arul House is a restaurant that you should not miss when visiting Buon Ma Thuot. The food is excellent, and the drinks are just as good. There are many dishes and plenty of choices for everyone. The atmosphere is one of the best things about this place. From the entrance, you are welcomed by beautiful gardens filled with trees and flowers. The dining area is built in traditional stilt houses, giving visitors a chance to experience the culture of the local ethnic communities. The large courtyard is decorated with many wooden statues, traditional tools, and everyday items that reflect the region’s heritage. There are also many beautiful corners for photos and check-ins. The tables, chairs, and seating areas are thoughtfully designed and very comfortable. The staff are friendly, helpful, and always welcoming. If you are visiting with a large group, it is a good idea to make a reservation in advance. There is also parking available outside the restaurant. Overall, Arul House offers not only great food but also a unique cultural experience. A wonderful place to enjoy a meal and learn more about the local culture.

  A must-visit restaurant in Buon Ma Thuot if you want to experience authentic local ethnic minority cuisine. The food was delicious, flavorful, and beautifully prepared while still keeping its traditional roots. The atmosphere and setup were also very well done — warm, authentic, and thoughtfully designed, giving a true cultural experience beyond just the meal itself. Definitely recommended for anyone visiting Buon Ma Thuot.

  Absolutely unique and natural setting. Great food selection from local flavors. Definitely to try and explore new food vs everyday stuff. Great mushroom hot pot and salad. So much more on menu I want to try but can't eat so much. Not cheap but high quality and excellent food.

  We visited this restaurant since it was recommended to us by our host. I was pleasantly surprised by the food quality. Literally everything was exceptionally delicious. The restaurant has a gigantic territory and lots of interesting carvings. We've been given a bottle of wine as a gift and it's really tasty albeit a bit strong. We also purchased their cacao cider but we have yet to taste it. Try their banana cacao smoothie, it's exceptional. :)

  Excellent find 😍 came here off a recommendation from one of the locals who works at the coffee farms. He said it was authentic ethnic cuisine and a mix of traditional and modern dishes. Very happy to have followed through and dined here!! Food was 11/10 Atmosphere 10/10 Service 11/10 Highly recommend for anyone visiting BMT - in Dak Lak We received a free welcome drink and if there’s one dish we highly recommend it’s be the Banana Cake Crème Brûlée thing 🤤🤤 for savoury dishes we loved the lemongrass pork or the crab 🦀 meat heads.

  I came here with my family during a trip to Buon Ma Thuot. We sat down in the afternoon to enjoy coffee and the beautiful scenery, then booked a table and had dinner here. The cafe and dining areas are two separate areas, but both are beautiful! At night, there is a campfire in the dining area, which is both cozy and colorful (but I forgot to take pictures of it).

  Everything was great, except the security. We arrived 13:30 and got stopped at the entrance by the security. He didn’t excuse himself and asked “where are you going?”. I said “we are having lunch here”. He told us to go away because the restaurant is very busy. It’s very weird to tell me to go away because it’s busy. We would expect him to advise us to wait if we want to eat here but instead he told us to go away and they are not excepting guests at the moment ( there are many empty tables inside) We ignored him because the restaurant is open til evening, he followed us to the reception, told the reception he had tried to stop us but we ignored him. The receptionist looked cold and unwelcoming, tiredly said to us, if you want to eat here, you have to wait at least 30’. Which is what we expect instead of telling us to go away at the entrance. Had a great meal, the waiters were nice. But very bad first impressions at the entrance. No one said sorry at the reception! The owner need to re train their staff to improve their service
