Mantra India Restaurant & Bar

We waited almost 40 minutes for our food. I get it They were extremely busy then we got cold biryani rice. Although I like the presentation of them opening it up with the bread The samosas barely had any stuffing in it. The only good thing was the garlic naan and the noodles. I will be trying a different Indian place. The music was also too loud

Excellent food and, for a change, an Indian place with right service attitude.

We were a large party of eight on a Friday evening without a prior reservation, but we were seated almost immediately. We ordered garlic / butter naans, butter chicken, chettinad chicken, and mutton biryani, and some desserts for sharing around the table. The food was good.

Only problem was with the desserts, either they ran out and served us frozen desserts or something else, either way they were not good, especially Gazar Ka Halwa and Ras Malai. Otherwise good experience.

Mantra India is one of the best Indian restaurants in Mountain View! The food is consistently flavorful, with rich curries, tender tandoori, and perfectly spiced biryanis. The lunch buffet offers a wide variety of vegetarian and meat dishes, making it a great way to sample different flavors.

The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with a modern yet cozy feel. Service is attentive and friendly, even during busy hours. Prices are reasonable for the quality and portions, and it’s a great spot for both casual meals and special occasions.

We went to the restaurant yesterday and ordered some food, the taste was good and food was fresh.

Today we ordered some stuff from there via Door Dash only to find a stark difference between the dine in taste and delivery items taste.

It literally tastes like they gave the left over food from a day before for delivery. If this is the kind of standard the restaurant is operating with I would rather not have food at this place ever again.

Dine in service is excellent. Ordered the whole Tandoori chicken which is enough for 4-6 people and really tasty, and one garlic naan per person. Have also tried and h8ghly recommend bread basket and Tandoori sampler followed by their creme brulee.

25$ plus tax for lunch buffet is super high when you compare to nearby restaurants in Sunnyvale , food doesn’t justify the price.

If you’re ever in Mountain View you have to check out Mantra. Phenomenal food and exceptional service. I want to give a special shout out to Joy. He consistently went above and beyond to take care of my group on a Thursday evening that consisted of 4 adults and 2 children. Two of us has dietary restrictions (vegan) and he was very knowledgeable and steered us on the right track. We even came back today for the Saturday Dosa station along with buffet. That’s how much we enjoyed it. I can not recommend this place enough, the food is outstanding and if you happen to have the good fortune of having Joy as your server, you might find yourself here a few times a week :)
