This place is DOPE!

Mantra was AMAZING. It started off with a wonderful gentleman that was so helpful, super pleasant, and nice that felt like a lifelong friend. After looking at their 100% vegan and GF menu, I couldn’t decide what to get so we got a ton 🤪. The coconut calamari is phenomenal and seriously was, by far, the best vegan dish I’ve ever had! Egg rolls and the yucca fries were good. Plantain nachos were amazing as was the korean bbq tacos and penne!

Mantra’s ambience was super chill and laid back with great music. Its beautiful inside and the service was really beyond excellent! I wish everyone knew about this place!

Another Vegan Option in Houston!

Mantra is a sit-down table service vegan restaurant in Houston, something that we really need!

They opened specially on a Wednesday night for a group of 18 men. We started ordering the appetizers and pizzas. The coconut calimari was astonishingly like the real thing, a bit less chewy. It was very tasty. Yucca fries were coated in some type of batter, crisp on the outside and almost like mashed potatoes on the inside. They were also good. The tex eggroll shell was a bit thicker than I like and was pretty greasy, but it was also good, especially with the sauce.

All the pizzas were creative and tasty, the gluten free crusts were very soft though a couple seemed undercooked.

I ordered the oyster mushroom marsala as my main dish. More than half of it was mycelium that was a little bit tougher than expected, but definitely edible. The marsala sauce was greasy yet tasty and there seemed to be a bit of breading on the mushrooms to get the sauce to stick.

My Buddy's ordered the "crabcake" that was made into a burger. Super good if you're into alt.burgers.

I'll give Mantra another go once all the grease has cleared my system. It would be a five star sensation with a few more heath conscious choices on the menu.

BTW the current website does not have a link to the menu, which apparently changes often. Perhaps they are working out the kinks in it.
