Malý Buddha

Stepping into Malý Buddha is like crossing a threshold into another realm—a sacred space where food, art, and spirituality create a divine experience. For over 22 years, this restaurant has been a haven for my soul, offering not just nourishment for the body but for the spirit as well. The owner, a master chef and a gifted painter, pours his heart into every aspect of the restaurant. Each dish is crafted with love and care, using fresh, high-quality ingredients sourced daily from local farmers. The essence of Tibetan buddhist Asian cuisine comes alive here, a true gift for anyone seeking authenticity. You don’t need to travel to Tibet—Tibet comes to you with every bite, every aroma, and every sip of their exquisite teas. My personal favorites, the Yogi Spicy Tea and Aged Rice Tea, are meditative experiences in themselves. The moment you enter, the energy shifts. The soft glow of lighting, the tranquil music, and the sacred Buddhist temple at the back envelop you in peace. time slows down, inviting you to pause, breathe, and reconnect with the present moment. The walls adorned with the owner’s unique paintings add another layer of depth, offering a glimpse into a world of higher consciousness. I was reading a late review from guests that they have voiced concerns over small details, like the 10 Kč charge for water or the cash-only policy. Yet, these elements feel minor in the grand scheme of what Malý Buddha represents. The menu is transparent, I whole heartedly recommend this magical place to anyone ready to experience something profound. Here, food is art, and the ambiance is pure soul.

The place has got really nice ambient asian athmosphere. I found it quite expensive in 2025 as they put the prices up. The food was great but nothing extra ordinary that you would not anywhere else.

We went to this restaurant thanks to a referral of a friend. The atmosphere of the restaurant is very cosy and beautifully decorated with a large Buddha painting on the wall. Regarding the food, It was tasty, with fresh ingredients. The service was very nice, we had a very nice discussion with the waitress. Finally, prices are honest, it was a very good experience !

Fantastic atmosphere and decor. Food was very tasty and beautifully presented. Great service and served quickly. Highly recommend. I've noticed a lot of negative reviews regarding it being cash only, but there is a sign out the front of the restaurant before you enter saying cash only, so I think that's a little unfair that people have rated this restaurant based on their own personal error.

Great place for Asian. Up the hill from Prague castle. Freshly prepared food and good portions. Not exclusively vegan. Highly recommend over tourist traps around the castle.

Delicious food with decent price. Cozy decorations with warmth feeling. Enjoyed my evening on a rainy day 😀 Highly recommend if in the area !!! On the side note: they either accept Euro or Local currency. No Credit/Debit card.

Generous portions for the price they charge, albeit the 2 fried rice and pho tasted a little bland. Best dish was the fried fish. Service was aloof. 3.5 for food.

Delicious food. Cash only. Stuffy from the smells of fried food from the kitchen.
