The food was absolutely amazing, the carne asada was literal perfection and so were the ropa vieja plantains, the cochinita pibil and the ceviche. They were able to accommodate our large party of 10 on short notice and the service was wonderful- thank you Chris!!!

I recently dined at Mantra and had an exceptional experience. The food was absolutely fantastic, with rich flavors and a variety of dishes that truly showcased the best of Indian cuisine. Each dish was prepared to perfection, leaving me thoroughly impressed. The staff at Mantra were equally remarkable. They were not only great at their jobs but also incredibly helpful and attentive. Their warm hospitality made the dining experience even more enjoyable. Overall, I highly recommend Mantra for anyone looking to enjoy delicious Indian food in a welcoming and friendly atmosphere. I will definitely be returning soon!
