Five months since opening, Mantra Lounge attracts a keen queue of students and workers for their cheap, filling and veg-friendly weekday lunches. On a Tuesday date with an old friend, I enjoyed their peanutty vegetable curry served with rice, vibrantly dressed green salad and a square of carob-iced cake ($8). I also added a sweet and very green spirulina-charged Bananarama smoothie (+$2).
As of last weekend, Mantra are extending their trading hours to weekend lunches and dinners. That should render them more accessible than ever to non-locals seeking a cheap and nourishing meal.

Accessibility: Mantra Lounge has clearly given accessibility some
thought - there's a ramp up from the footpath and
plenty of space around the counter, where ordering, payment and food
pick-up occurs. There's a unisex toilet with wheelchair accessibility
signage on this level. There are a few moderately spaced tables
downstairs; the stairs themselves are wide and sturdy with a hand
rail.
