Mandala Café Bethnal Green

A calm cafe in East London, in my local area. I went for lunch and tried the coconut&lime moong dal and the aubergine toast. The Dal is something else, hard to describe its deliciousness, you gotta try it. The green detox smoothie is also amazing. Will definitely return. All menu is vegan.

A great cafe with lots of space and impeccably clean. Stuff are excellent, very friendly and welcoming and the food is great. There are tables at the back where you can sit and laptops are allowed off peak.

The best scrambled tofu I’ve had! Fresh ingredients and great coffee, staff are so nice and the garden out the back is beautiful Highly recommend

Love this place. Came for lunch and i got their mandala brunch. I loved it and i'm not even a vegan! Everything was perfectly spiced and seasoned and full of flavour. I especially loved the scrambled tofu and the oyster mushrooms.

It was my first time to go in after the refurbishment and change of management. The place is much nicer with white paint on the walls. It looked more spacious. Love the tables. We went for lunch about 1pm and it was packed. There is a poster saying “laptops are welcome after 2pm”, which makes sense as it became quieter after 2pm. It would have been nice to sit outside, but it was raining. All dishes are vegetarian! It could be all vegan. We had main dishes and desserts. Vegan cheese cake was really good. I highly recommend this place.

When London becomes too much and simplicity is all you seek, Mandala Café delivers in all the ways. This is a lovely air-conditioned space in a relaxed part of East London. Here you'll mostly find patrons on their laptops or immersed in a good book - it's a good quiet space away from the traffic of Roman Road. They do tea, coffee and various soft drinks. The food menu is compact but includes everything you see on the counter. Everything is vegan which makes life considerably easier for a plant-based visitor. I ordered a slice of tofu quiche which arrived warm, accompanied by fresh green salad. It was a tasty meal and I'd be back for more. I complemented it with a Karma Cola, which seems to have disappeared from the shops, but thankfully is available here. Service is quick and the prices are okay. Everything is neat and clean and I was happy to be supporting an independent establishment. I'll likely be back to sample their breakfast items. Overall, recommended.

I love this place. I was here million times and will come again as it’s such a serene place and the food is absolutely delicious. I’ve tried everything, breakfast, lunch, desert. I love how they rotate the menu depending on what is available in the season. Love chilling in the garden in the summer and reading my book or by the window and people watch.
