I totally understand why Mandala is so popular - Edit
I don't have high expectations for buffet food but was pleasantly surprised by Mandala. The food was seasoned well, not oily, and there was a nice variety to choose from. It was also my most affordable meal in Lljubljana at just under €9!
Read moreThe restaurant itself is really large, beautifully decorated, and has a steady stream of customers. I'm glad I tried it out!

My favorite place in Ljubljana - Edit
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.

Great food and a nice atmosphere - Edit
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.

Loved it

Top experience, indeed! - Edit
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!
Read morePros: Chocolate cake!, Friendly staff!, Warm daal soup!

Una dolce merenda - Edit
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 Salad Bar - Edit
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.

Tasty and Reasonably Priced - Edit
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!

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
