The food and service were excellent. We were checked on several times to make sure everything was right. It's some of the best Indian cuisine I've had.
Food was amazing. Ambience was great But they should tone down on male privilege. A male server first ask my husband what does he want to order, then me...He didn't even ask me how my food was, but he did ask my husband. Gents, remember this is AMERICA. Leave that male crap dominance in India. Mkay? Ok.
Service was good Place was very busy Food was good but just lukewarm . We requested it to be warmed so we can enjoy hot food but it was the same. Naan were fresh and hot Ambiance has not changed No christmas decor was there
Went here for the first time to celebrate my mother in law's birthday last night! It was delicious. Service was great. The servers are friendly and attentive. The decor was pretty and the music wasn't too loud! We absolutely loved the garlic mozzarella naan, the paneer ke sholey and the gulaab jamun cheesecake! Can't wait to come back here!
I ordered a lot of food (8 butter naan, 3 samosa orders, 2 butter chicken, 2 chicken tikka, 1 Rogan Josh, 1 tandoori chicken) and they didn't include rice. I called to let them know and the man informed me they always double check and I was wrong. Didn't really know what to say to that, he basically pulled a checkmate move and did "nuh uh, we gave you rice" so I hung up and didn't argue. I'll just be a jerk and tip nothing when I go in to eat. C'est la vie.
As always amazing customer service... my son was flying out to college after thanksgiving break and we were in a rush to grab lunch and drop him off at the airport. I called and placed an order with Jo and everything was prepared and set up on the table for our arrival . He even called me to see when to make the breads in the tandoor . Top notch Customer service! Food was delicious and my hungry college kid enjoyed himself and so did the rest of us.thank you Mantra staff!!!
Food: 5/5 Ambience : 5/5 Service: 5/5 Trifecta.. having flown into Chicago late evening we were looking for another restaurant when we stumbled upon Mantra quite by accident. Amazing ambience, great suggestions by waiters for food, ample portions, and the cutest tiny papads on the table, complementary, all this just made us feel so at home far away from home. Great job Mantra... keep up the good work!
My parents took me here for lunch - it's their favorite Indian spot! They drive here from the city because they love it so much. The space is beautiful - there is a nice partially outdoor area that is decorated in pretty flowers and has a very good vibe. We ordered the goat curry, yellow lentils, and paneer with spinach. All the dishes were very flavorful and complimented each other. It went very well with the garlic naan and basmati rice. The staff were friendly, but the service is on the slower end, so make sure you order quickly! The dishes are relatively pricey, but I will say the portions are pretty big, so it makes up for it. Overall, I had a great experience at the restaurant and am looking forward to coming back again!
Beautiful restaurant for a special occasion, family dinner, or date! Both the exterior and interior of the restaurant are decorated so well and make for a wonderful atmosphere! We ordered the assorted pakora which were delicious and definitely some of the best I've had with so much variety. We also ordered the methi paneer which was decent. The mango lassi was okay. For the entree we got Palak paneer, kofta, navrant korma, and daal. The Palak paneer and yellow daal are definitely worth getting!! The navrant korma was too thick of a gravy and a very sweet sauce, probably would not get that again. If you can't decide what bread to get, you should get the bread basket! All the breads very soft and we loved the garlic naan.
