    Visited July 2011: Mantra was practically empty for dinner, with an empty no longer used Hukka smoking area in its center, and uncomfortable cheap Ikea chairs. A huge menu of different Naan breads led us to ordering some exotic sounding options that tasted like a child's candy thrown onto toast. Stick with the traditional Indian items on the menu for anything that tastes even close to worth the prices charged.

  • Very good food. The menu is expansive, so be prepared to take your time perusing it, particularly on a first visit. The naan is first rate.
    The service was friendly and efficient. The manager stopped by to welcome us and make some helpful suggestions.
    Some earlier reviewers had commented about the noise level. We were there early evening and there was quiet background music, very conducive to conversation and dining.
    Will definitely go back.

  • Very confusing place, we were given a menu with prices, and then told that the menu shouldn't have been givent to us. Our waiter admitted he didn't really know much about indian food, and got two of our entrees wrong. Our bill included drinks we didn't order. The atmosphere and the inside of the building is really worth seeing, as well as the basement and bathrooms. The entire experience left me feeling like Alice in Wonderland
