mantra

Loved, LOVED the energy of this place. The staff was so kind and attentive, and good. Oh, the FOOD. Those plantain nachos are a must. It was light and filling. I also had a chai tea alongside the hibiscus cheesecake, which was delicious as well. Great music, beautiful ambiance, Black-owned, vegan, high-quality, I cannot wait to come back and tell everyone!

Best meal I’ve had in months and definitely best vegan food I had while visiting Houston. The salad had green dressing and vegan cheese, and the mushroom steak entree I had was unbelievable. Staff were also super nice and the low lit atmosphere of the restaurant made for a nice date.

One of the best vegan/plant based/gluten free dining options in Houston. Photos of Prima Penne, Maitake Chimichurri, Raw Strawberry Hibiscus Cheesecake, Candied Pistachio Dust and cardamom Ice Cream and Coconut Calamari. Botanical drinks are sparkling and organic.

Found my new favorite spot. Black owned vegan restaurant off Fannin. I was pleased to know that this establishment is the same owner as Green Seed Vegan. I would describe Mantra as a unique vegan dining experience. It is completely vegan AND gluten free. The food is high quality and doesn’t lack in flavor. It may take awhile to get your food so be patient (I promise it’s worth the wait). I only went for appetizers and highly recommend yucca fries & tex “egg” roll. The music selection was my favorite. There is bar seating towards the center of the space as well as by the front and family style tables throughout. Their wines & beers are also gluten free. They’re closed Monday & Tuesday and only open for dinner. I hope this place gets more recognition because they make their food with love and it shows.

Everything that we ordered was absolutely amazing! The vibe and the music was so spot on, Horace served us and was so warm and kind! We felt as if we were home with family. If you’re looking for a vegan gluten-free meal, this is the spot. Will definitely be bringing my family next time I’m in town.
