I've been to your restaurant many times & I always forget to leave a review. The food is always amazing! The last time I came with my family, it was close to closing time, but the staff still prepared food for us with such kindness. It was a really nice experience. I don't want to mention just one person because I know there's a whole team working hard in the kitchen behind the scenes. Truly appreciate your service & effort! ❤?❤?🥰

Authentic Indian food. The price for the buffet was very affordable. Many choices of chicken dishes from 2 different kinds of butter chicken & Chicken Masala. Also many other dishes to choose from. Excellent service & the waitress was very pleasant to talk too. The atmosphere was filled with Indian music.

Un régal ! les plats sont toujours aussi savoureux depuis toutes ces années. Les parfums du resto sont agréables, la musique n'est pas trop fortes, service impeccable & même les prix sont très raisonnable pour 2026. Bravo la Mantra. 5/5
Plats de haute qualités, curry savoureux & le restaurant est très propre. Il est possible d'ajuster le piquant avant de commander. J'y retournerais sans aucun doute.
We went on Friday with my husband craving butter chicken & this place did not disappoint. The prices are very reasonable & the food is absolutely delicious.
I'm totally addicted to the naan honestly, it's insanely good. The mango juice was also so yummy. The service was fast, & the two waitresses were very nice & kind.
The BEST Indian food. If you do not try this restaurant you'll honestly be doing yourself a disservice. Amazing flavors, fresh food, kind staff. Such a pleasure. We have eaten here several times & we not go anywhere else; it's that good! Highly recommend!
The food was disgusting & the staff were disrespectful. We waited for over 30 minutes & they served us inedible food. This was the last time I ate at your establishment. The receptionist was disrespectful, spoke lazily, & played on her phone while ordering. No service, no respect.
Un petit incident a livraison mais selon eux pas leurs problème.... Juste a recommandé une autre fois. Très cher pour un fond de sauce & au final 5 morceaux de poulet
