Mandala Society - Essaouira — Restaurant in Essaouira

Been in Essaouira for over two weeks and tried lots of Cafés and restaurants, and I can guarantee that this place is overrated and overpriced with nothing special for the price you are paying,the set up is Okey and the service is below average, the Cafés and restaurant nearby within meters away offer a better menu and set up for half the price, I would like to mention also that the staff need some serious education about customer service, I greeted the guy working inside with a smile and asked for an Espresso and he replied in a grumpy way that it costs 25 dhs which I found very unprofessional. He said he has to inform me about the price so I will not be surprised when paying (it's like admitting himself that this place is overpriced ). They could have at least displayed a menu inside like the rest of the Cafés . Overall this place is way too overrated and overpriced with nothing...

My visit to this restaurant was incredibly disappointing from start to finish. It's difficult to know where to begin. First, our tray was dirty, which is a major red flag for cleanliness. To make matters worse, we were told the salmon was unavailable only after our breakfast had already been served. The problems continued with the bill. We were charged extra for bread that was given to us without any mention of an additional cost. On top of that, we found a hair in our food, and the staff offered absolutely no apologies or explanations. The final straw was at the end of the meal when our drinks were incorrectly added to the bill. To top it all off, when we went to pay, we were told they don't accept Visa cards, which was extremely frustrating. The complete lack of customer service, poor hygiene, and hidden charges made for a truly terrible experience. I highly recommend you...

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Mandala and I can honestly say it’s one of the best healthy restaurants I’ve visited in a long time. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere felt fresh, clean, and welcoming — a perfect reflection of the food they serve.

The menu is packed with nutrient-rich, thoughtfully sourced ingredients, and there’s a great balance between flavor and health. I ordered tofu salad- it was absolutely delicious and left me feeling satisfied, not stuffed. My partner had the fish burger, which was hearty and packed with flavour without being overwhelming.

What really stood out was the attention to detail: fresh herbs, vibrant produce, and generous portions without excess. Even the drinks were impressive — the green juice and turmeric ginger shot gave a nice energy boost without being too sweet.

Service was friendly and attentive without...
