Buffet básico, mas ótimo - Edit
Almoço estilo buffet livre, sempre com opções diferentes (muita salada, os chutneys são muito bons, molhos e pratos quentes)e bem sinalizado o que é ovolactovegetarino e o que é vegano. Há sucos refrescantes (o suco do dia, geralmente mix de frutas diversas, usualmente levando gengibre também, sempre vale a pena!) e sobremesas. O valor, apesar de não tão barato, está relativamente de acordo com a região que o restaurante está localizado.

Fresh and unique - Edit
Beautiful restaurant in Vila Madalena with tables outside and inside. The buffet has labels clarifying which options are vegan. It is not that varied, but the food is fresh and really good! Surprisingly, there are many options of vegan desserts (not included in the buffet). The lemon pie is super tasty and the beet cheesecake is quite unique - and delicious!

Lovely - Edit
Loved the atmosphere of this place, the food, the location, everything is homemade and they clearly indicate what’s vegan. If I’m not mistaken it’s all organic. And the prices are not that expensive (and it’s a buffet so you can eat as much as you want…)

Nice food, not so Indian - Edit
Today the food was not Indian and when asking the employee she said today was a Brazilian/ ayuvedic mix. The food was tasty, just not so much choice. Not spicy at all. Fruit juice was great

Buffet with a lot of options that would satisfy both vegetarians and vegans. The menu always changes and the food is always fresh. Plus there is a little area to eat outside under the shadow of some trees which is very nice.

Delicious vegan food in Sao Paulo's best neighbourhood - Edit
When in Brazil, vegans can find themselves struggling. The vegetarian option (if any!) on menus almost always include a lot of cheese, and if you don't speak that much Portuguese well... I guess you can imagine.
Read moreHowever, Sao Paulo's coolest neighbourhood Pinheiros turned out to be a pleasant surprise, with a lot of veganfriendly places. Our last day we had lunch at Maha Mantra. Although it does not work with the price per kilo-concept (to my disappointment), it was totally worth it. Lots of veggies, vegan moqueca (traditional Brazilian dish), delicious stews. Wish we had found this place sooner! We also shared a dessert (sharing is enough!), which was nice, but the lunch was the absolute winner.
(Paid: $31.5 for one plate, $38 (?) for unlimited, do not remember price of dessert)

Pros: Staff, Location, Great thrift store on the other side of the road
Cons: Price: it's OK, but not cheap.

Amazing! - Edit
This restaurant is really really good! Firstly, the food is delicious, tasteful, completely vegetarian and organic. The price is fixed, so you eat as you want for the same (fair) price. In week days it is about R$ 29. Beverages and desserts are not included (except a fruit salad). They offer great gluten free cakes and pies, but you pay apart. The lounge is charming and peaceful. A great choice in Pinheiros neighborhood.

Perfect for a Traveller - Edit
I actually stumbled on this place as I was wandering around São Paulo. It's perfect for a traveller on a budget, 31 reis got me all I could eat buffet plus as much tea as I wanted (I basically ate breakfast and lunch together!) They have a great mix of foods and the staff are really friendly

A Trifle Disappointing - Edit
Having read the mostly positive and upbeat reviews here, I was excited about going there today. However, having eaten at Appfel a couple of days earlier, Maha Mantra came as a bit of a disappointment. First of all, the Indian touch as mentioned in the description and reviews is very fleeting, if at all. In fact the only truly Indian item in the menu was the poori, and in fact that was the best item. The pooris were piping hot and best I have had anywhere, including India. There were 3 potato dishes, and in each dish, the potato was half cooked, making it almost inedible. The lassi (I asked for plain, since in my view yogurt should not be mixed with any fruit) I had was strange. I took one sip and had to waste the rest of it. However, the bean soup was excellent. The rest of the items were mainly different components of salads, nothing original or creative. However, Fernando the host, who was the only one who spoke English was very warm and effusive and helpful. Overall, the meal was disappointing, specially since the restaurant is nowhere near any Metro station.

A VEG MUST SPOT IN SP - Edit
We had the best time today. :) The house is beautiful and the food was absolutely DELICIOUS. The host was the owner himself (almost sure of this), who was a sweetheart and very nice and helpful. It is a buffet with only about 4 non-vegan options out of 30 something, everything that is vegan has a V o it, so you don't have to ask all the time... But if you need to ask anything, they are willing to help and the host, Fernando, speaks perfect English. It is the type of food that you can feel was made with love. There are different rooms where you may sit, now, if you pick the one with the pillows on the floor, please take your shoes off first or you will have the same embarrassing experience I had when I read after I had finished eating that you were supposed to take off your shoes... No one said anything so I was only embarrassed by myself. ;) So if you like the sitting on the floor style take easy to take off shoes because you will be walking to and from the buffet and this room is one floor above. They make juices and teas and deserts, I had the organic grape agar-agar which was very good. They also sell a few products, I bought some organic spices and chocolates. Everything is very clean. There is good energy. And the price was very good about U$20 per person and we ate a lot and very good quality. Definitely going back on our next trip. Beauty tip for girls: if you wear lipstick take a pocket mirror with you because there are no mirrors in the bathroom, which BTW is very clean.

Best Vegetarian Food in Sao Paulo - Edit
If you`re visiting Sao Paulo, you have to go to Maha Mantra!! The specialty is the Indian cuisine, but you`ll find a lot of vegan options (don`t worry, no dead meat at all!). The place is quiet and comfortable, easy to reach, and the staff is very helpful and friendly. Try the "poori" (indian bread) and the banana chutney (spicy, but not too much).
Read morePros: Great food, Good value, Friendly staff
