Amazing and exotic experience. From the vibrant colors and tibetan aesthetic you know the owner truly cares about his culture and wants to share it with us all.
Very clean resturant with friendly service. We had a great conversation with the owner and his family while enjoying our meal. I will definitely driving the 1 hour 40 mins from LA to visit again.
The Tibetan food was amazing, order the momo soup or other tibetan adjacent foods for the best experience.

They have just opened up this month for breakfast hours, and we had a fantastic meal. I am vegan (my wife is not), so it’s not easy to find a breakfast place where I can have a nourishing meal. I ordered the traditional Tibetan porridge which was great, especially after having a little bit of honey added on top. As always, the service was perfect. We got to sit out on the deck in the shade of an umbrella, but also enjoyed the mellow summer sun. My wife had the anmazing egg rice bowl and a delicious mimosa and they even offered her the chance to try their sake bloody Mary. That was yummy as well!

I really enjoyed this restaurant. I was at an event here,so the menu was already decided, but everything I tried was delicious. It’s a little funky inside, kind of a mom and pop place, but everyone was super friendly and the service was great. My friend and I were only drinking water, but the waiter was still careful that we didn’t run out, which impressed me because water is free and it’s usually the last thing on a writer’s mind. I want to go again and order a meal, so I can really describe what is so good.

Delicious food and some of the friendliest folks running the place. Every ingredient in our food felt so fresh, we really enjoyed our lunch here. Highly recommend Mandala if you’re in or around Ojai.

Excellent all around. Went here after a theatre show, and the service was welcoming and attentive, the food was excellent and reasonably priced, and the restaurant was clean and inviting. Will definitely be coming back here whenever we’re in town!

Went with my family while on a day trip to the area and was pleasanly surprised! All 4 dishes were delicious, the service was excellent, and the patio is dog friendly, although a little rum down looking. Don’t let the exterior fool you, the food was excellent!

Everything about this spot is incredible! You must read the story about the owners of the restaurant. The food is spectacularly flavorful and delicious. We really enjoyed speaking to the owner. Could not recommend this place enough! Four of us tried it for the first time and we all thoroughly enjoyed it.

Got the momo soup and a sushi roll, both were very good. The employees are incredibly warm and kind, they gave us free desert. 100% recommend, we will be coming back again.

this place cannot be put into words, no matter how i may describe it. this is the cutest and most sweetest place on the planet, if disneyland is the “happiest place on earth” this place takes the cake! when we came in we were greeted by the owners daughter and handed flowers by her then as she sat us down the little girl handed our menus while balancing them ontop of her head which we found incredibly hilarious and sweet ❤️ you could feel the love and effort the family had put into their dream, the music, the atmosphere, the service is top teir. as for the food I think it is the most delicious fusion between different cultural foods and I personally am not a big sushi fan…but I’d eat countless amounts of it from here, my personal favorites being the green mussel’s, sunkissed rolls, miso soup, and vegtable chow mein! I’d definitely recommend this place to anyone wanting to have a good time and good food! I’d love to see this place flourish as it deserves too. ❤️
