My favorite place in Ljubljana

Mandala is a vegan buffet/cantina kind of restaurant, run by the local Hare Krishna community. The food offered here is superb. Varied, fresh, healthy and tasty. You pay for the weight of your plate and if you’re on a budget trip, Mandala is the perfect place to go.

Pros: Incredibly clean, Super friendly, Excellent price

Great food and a nice atmosphere

This is a lovely place to eat. It’s a self service buffet where you weigh your food at the till- you can choose hot or cold dishes or both and soup and dessert.
Every dish we had was amazing but my favourite was the smoky butter beans
The atmosphere is very chilled.
Loved it

Pros: Great food, Nice people, Good price

Leckers Essen

zu sehr fairem Preis. Die Auswahl an der Salatbar war sehr gut und die Kartoffeln und der Blumenkohl waren unser Highlight.

Top experience, indeed!

I made an Israeli friend whilst at a vegan cafe. We met up again and again around the city. One of our stops was this place, which up to that point, had eluded my maps, for I could not find it. When I tell you this buffet-styled restaurant was soooo worth the wait. The prices are great, they have drinks, desserts, coffee and tea, as well as weighing in order to pay for cost. The energy is so sweet and kind in there. You will not be disappointed by the vibe or delights!

Pros: Chocolate cake!, Friendly staff!, Warm daal soup!

A satisfying hearty vegan meal

Vegan food hasn’t been that hard to find in Ljubljana but best one I had here has to be this one, it was simple, delicious and affordable. The staff was polite

Pros: Delicious , Affordable , Hearty

Una dolce merenda

Locale self service con prezzi al kg, noi siamo stati per una merenda nel pomeriggio e abbiamo preso una crepe con cioccolato e cocco e una fetta di dolce, con una bottiglia di kombucha e un bicchiere di succo. I dolci hanno un prezzo specifico, al contrario del salato che costa a peso. La proprietaria è molto gentile nello spiegare come funziona.

Good food

I love having lunch there for students cupons. There are many options and the food is solid but not perfect! I eat there quite a lot.

Good Salad Bar

Really good salad bar. A solid option for fresh, vegan food. We got 2 salads and 2 plates of mains and it came to €29 for both. More expensive than I expected, but it was still nice.

Friendly staff, decent food, a bit pricey

Lovely variety of food, but not the best quality I’ve had in Ljubljana, and a bit pricey for what it is. Same for the drinks.

Pros: Variety, Cleanliness , Friendly staff

Cons: Price

Tasty and Reasonably Priced

They had crepes, rice, salads, curry, fritters, among other tasty selections when we went there. Everything was reasonably priced (the amount you pay is based on the weight and type of food). The ones we tried were tasty. And the service was good!

Great vegan palacinkas

I got out the crowded center to enjoy a vegan palacinka or Slovenian crepes. They were tasty and impossibile to distinguish from the 'real' ones

Updated from previous review on 2023-08-08

Pros: Tasty, Friendly place, Price was low

Cons: The place is cozy but in a sort of underground

Lovely vibe and plenty of choice

Staff here were very friendly and the inside is a nice place to eat and chill. You pay by weight and there are plenty of curries/items to choose from so something for everyone. Would definitely go again
