Who says you can't have fun while eating healthy and ethically?
Langkawi's first fully plant-based restaurant, Kolma uses pure, mostly locally-sourced ingredients to make vegan-friendly bread, cheese, mayonnaise, and other tasty sauces and sides.
These homemade ingredients come together to form flavor-packed bagels, burrito bowls, sushi bowls, nacho bowls, and more. If your more of a brunch lover, try a colorful smoothie bowl with handcrafted granola in flavors like papaya and mango.
Rotating special menu items include vegan takes on classic meals like burgers, sloppy joes, gyros, and mac & cheese. Drinks are made fresh too with hand-brewed coffee, hot cocoa or chai lattes, iced tea, and freshly squeezed juice blends.
There are always cheesecakes, bliss balls, and a selection of other sweet treats like banana bread, apple strudel, brownies, vegan tiramisu, and vegan donuts. Decedent birthday cakes, anniversary cakes, or just-because cakes can also be made as special orders, given a few days' notice.
Don't forget to look out the back where talented owner, Julia, has set up a vintage thrift store. You can also purchase reusable metal straws and handmade ceramics and rattan bags from Kolma.

How To Get There
Rideshare
Drivers may have trouble finding the location. Its best to stand out the front and wave down your driver when being picked up.
Backstory
Kolma bravely opened its doors in July 2020, amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Innovative owners Julia and Taufiq adapted quickly, switching to delivery-only orders when required by lockdown conditions.
Despite the early struggle, they created an inviting restaurant space inside a renovated traditional Malay house in Pantai Tengah. Customers are always greeted with a friendly smile, speedy service, and delicious, wholesome food.
