Everything was great. My only complaint is that the food came out five minutes after it was ordered. There is a difference between good service and rushed service. But, all in all, this restaurant is quite good and worth visiting.

My wife and I were regulars at Mantra before we moved away from NJ four years ago. We had one night back in the area and there was just one restaurant we wanted to experience again. Happily, the food at Mantra was as excellent as ever!!!
