Sri Mantra inside Logan Street Market is such a hidden (vegan) gem!!! Everything we’ve ate here has been amazing, including the vegan potato tacos, crunch wrap, cheezy potato wrap and sandwich, and multiple curries. The food is incredibly flavorful and tastes fresh, vibrant, and very well seasoned. It’s healthy, plant based food that still feels comforting and satisfying.
The owners are also truly wonderful people. You can tell how proud they are of their food and the quality of their spices, and they take the time to share that with you. I left learning so much about authentic Sri Lankan spices and how much fresher and higher quality they are compared to what you usually buy. I didn’t even know I liked cinnamon until learning the difference between cassia and true Ceylon cinnamon.
You can taste the love and care in every bite. Amazing food, sweet owners, and an overall perfect experience every single time we go. I would happily eat here every day ❤️

We tried all the curries and the depth of flavor and quality of ingredients was evident from the first bite! Simply outstanding meal. When you add the sweetest proprietors who obviously pour love into the food, you simply can’t go wrong eating here!

Absolutely fantastic to the core!
The food is incredible. This is made from scratch at it’s best. Comforting, yet flavorful and downright delicious food. I brought my 80yr old aunt with me one day and before she left she was asking if Sri Mantra offered meal prep delivery service, she enjoyed it that much. Meanwhile, my well-developed palate where I’ve enjoyed many cuisines from around the country and the world was also *supremely* happy with the flavors of every single dish.
This comes from their clear love and attention to creating amazing food, and the ingredients. They directly import spices from their family in Srilanka. This means you are getting the very highest quality ingredients that you’ll ever experience, period. The added bonus is they sell those spices as well. The turmeric is by far the best I’ve ever had, and my goodness the cinnamon. Oh my goodness it’s amazingly delicious!!! I use the sticks and the powdered cinnamon all of the time. I break off little bits to add to my oatmeal or cereal, and the powdered goes into my baked items.
The clothing and other hand-made items from their family in Srilanka are also beautiful.
The Logan Street Market has plenty of seating options and you can pick up any number of beverages from the other vendors, including a full bar with locally brewed beer.
The pictures are of the various curries and the perfectly made crunch wrap.
Last, and super important. They are great people who you’d be supporting. Give Sri Mantra a try.

Located inside Logan St Market, this is a wonderful spot for vegan food with a more healthful focus, when traveling Chicago to Florida and back or visiting the Louisville area. Nothing deep fried, just flavorful and filling fiber-filled dishes. The owners are lovely people, the food is delicious and fairly priced for the quantity and quality. They also sell a small variety of clothing, bags and high quality fragrant spices and tea from Sri Lanka. We had a curry dish and the crunch wrap. I was also able to purchase a pouch of black ginger tea, curry powder and Ceylon cinnamon. We enjoyed our food and we will return next time we are in town.

Sri Mantra is a real gem — where every dish is crafted with their own spice blends. 100% vegan, the flavors are so vibrant. The Crunch Wrap is a masterpiece: crispy, colorful, and bursting with originality. This café isn’t just about food, it’s about atmosphere — cozy, artistic, and full of heart. The owners are incredibly warm and welcoming — their friendliness makes you want to linger a little longer.

I do not write reviews, but my experience at Sri Mantra was nothing short of delightful. The woman behind the counter was so warm and the food was nothing short of absolute coziness in their flavor bursting rice and curry. I ordered the three curry plate because I truly couldn’t choose. Each were delicious, but the yellow lentil curry was perfectly spiced and perfect comfort food for this cold day! As someone who cannot have dairy due to an allergy, I love a vegan forward restaurant because I know I’ll be safe, and Sri Mantra did not disappoint! Will be back to try the Crunchwrap. ☺️

We tried 3 items from 3 shops in Logan Street Market. Sri Mantra was our favorite! The Crunchwrap was flavorful, crunchy and perfect spice level. Staff is very pleasant.

The flavors that Sri Mantra brings to your table are not just incredibly delicious, but innovative, creative, and you can feel the love poured into each plate. Additionally, their home grown spices from Sri Lanka make up about 90% of my spice cabinet these days, and their teas are some of the best tasting I’ve found. We always look forward to our next visit!
Thank you, Marilyn and Sameera!!

I have eaten here twice and the food was excellent both times. The potato tacos were out of this world. It’s so nice to have another restaurant with delicious vegan options here in Louisville!
