Mandalas are a spiritual art, prepared almost exclusively by Buddhist monks. They serve as a visual instrument during meditation as they contain the path to enlightenment. Buddhist monks are famous for creating large sand Mandalas, which after weeks of work are destroyed to symbolize the impermanence of all that exists.

The word «mandala» originated from the cultural language of Sanskrit and simply means «circle». The circle symbolizes many things including inner wholeness of self and the universe. The outlying square symbolises the physical world, where the four gates bring together the boundless thoughts of love, compassion, sympathy and calmness.

Drawing inspiration from the Mandala, we strive to serve your gastronomical taste to the fullest, here at our restaurant. Just like the monks who put so much rigor and discipline into preparing these Mandalas, we too have put great care and attention in preparing your meal.

We hope you have an enjoyable experience here at Mandala Restaurant.

Enjoy dining in the zen courtyard or in the restaurant surrounded by beautiful mandala art.
