Open on Mondays! Great food, fast, friendly service. Biryani very good - specials every day. Mango Lassi, naan bread, and chutneys are delicious. Seasoning strength (mild, medium, hot) made according to preference. Buffet open for lunch again!

Been there twice now and both times the food was excellent. Prices are fair and you can’t beat the fried rice.
Here is a culinary treat tucked away on Harrison Street, just up from the Mississippi River. Family-owned with a relaxed atmosphere, this eatery boasts flavorful dishes suitable to all tastes and diets. The noon buffet is not only reasonably priced, you have the opportunity to try a lot of different dishes in one meal. A special treat is the mango lassi drink (you'll thank me). Mantra is my go-to Indian restaurant. Whether you live local or are visiting the QCA from afar, Mantra should be on your list of local culinary stops.Vegetarian options: You can pretty much get any dish as a vegetarian option. There is an entire menu section devoted to vegetarian meals. These are just as good, and oftentimes, better than the meat-based versions!Dietary restrictions: The restaurant offers vegetarian and vegan options. Spice level is up to you and you must request heat if that is what you like. Otherwise dishes are very flavorful and you don't need to worry about a dish being super spicy.Parking: There is street parking on either side of the one-way. Heading down Harrison for the parking garage, you'll pass Mantra on the right. The first driveway into the parking garage is paid parking. Tip: turn into the second driveway which offers free 2-hour parking.Kid-friendliness: This is a family friendly restaurant.Wheelchair accessibility: Entrance is street level with plenty of seating on the main floor.

You have to stop at Mantra for the best food. We caught the buffet with 30 minutes left and still had quality fresh food until the end.
