The food here is astonishing! I have chosen to eat vegan food for a while now but my husband is a carnivore and even he was extremely impressed. The dishes here are invented and cooked by a team of chefs including Edi who was delightful. They push the boundaries with respect to originality, taste and presentation. What I had, for me, matched up to food that some of the best chefs have presented on Masterchef and what I have eaten at Michelin star restaurants on the rare but memorable occasions that I have been. The cost is appreciably less though and their lunch deal is amazing. There is another vegan restaurant in Ljubljana that we also tried - Gujžina - which falls a long way short of this place - dreadful service, dry food and more expensive! Bistro Maha is in a small shopping street, a short walk away from the Three Bridges and you have to seek it out. Whilst the location is not as pretty as some, in my opinion, there isn’t a better place to experience both affordable and exceptional cuisine from friendly, dedicated and ground...
Read moreWe were drawn to this establishment by our dietary requirements/choices , the state of hunger and excellent reviews . We were impressed with the ablution facilities : clean and well designed . The service provided by the young man was good and sensitive: when our food order was delayed by over an hour , he was apologetic and offered olives and bread sticks on the house - his timely intervention saved us!

We could understand his guidance as it needs considerable practice : The rice remained in its original state despite the time it spent in the dish, the asparagus was good and the nuts were toasted to perfection ! The combined effort of the dish was underwhelming though we appreciated the effort put behind it by the team. We will return, but, will focus on the team's well practiced dishes that will do full justice to the...
Read moreFollowing the recommendation of a close friend, and on the occasion of being in Ljubljana on business, I easily reached this restaurant after visiting the archaeological museum during my lunch break. The menu was very interesting and I didn't know what to choose. I am a lover of cuisine than I was curious to try the buckwheat proposal, which amazed me with its creaminess and flavour, as did the very delicious dessert. Usually I come out of vegan restaurants very hungry, this was not the case here, the meal were satisfying and just right! I also liked the inclusive menu proposal. I hope to return soon to taste other Maha's dishes! I found friendly staff small but well-kept restaurant, very cozy. I would highly recommend it, I have been vegetarian for 12 years and was delighted to rediscover such a place...
