Mantra by Indian Garden

Amazing service and even more phenomenal food! The decor/environment is very relaxing as well.

Mantra had the best Indian food in the area. The atmosphere is nice and service is excellent

The service was a little slow when it came to refilling our water. The food was very tasty.

We recently celebrated my child's graduation with a 13-person dinner reservation at Mantra Indian Cuisine in Schiller Park, and it was a beautiful experience! This restaurant is a family favorite, and we always bring friends and loved ones here when they're visiting the area. The food was, as always, absolutely delicious rich in flavor, perfectly spiced, and consistently high-quality. The ambiance is elegant yet cozy, with a calm atmosphere that allowed for easy conversation even with a large group. The staff was wonderful and accommodating, even with a few last-minute changes to our party. Everything flowed seamlessly. I've never had a complaint dining here, only great memories. Highly recommend for both intimate dinners and celebratory gatherings.

We have been to Mantra many times. But this time the food was very disappointing!, not flavorful at all

Very good ambience and concept. We got parking as well. This was our first visit and based on what we ordered( two chef specialties) we found that Food is just ok but not very exceptional. Some of the food items they served had excessive sugar in it which is not healthy for diet conscious people. Service is very good. Appointments are respected but we did get walkin admission on a Mother's Day evening. So overall I would suggest to visit once and experience for yourself how does the food taste to your pallet but other things are great at this restaurant.

Excellent food as always!! We appreciate the clearly labeled vegetarian and vegan items. Staff is extremely courteous and accommodating. Cocktails are delicious! The food is a little too spicy for children though.

Mantra boasts an extensive menu of both meat based and vegetarian options. There is also a full bar plus a number of nonalcoholic beverages. We had mango juice with our meal, which was refreshing and delicious. The serving sizes are easily large enough to share. We shared an appetizer of veggie pakora, a five bean with quinoa salad, the Manglorean Delight chef special (paneer in a savory sauce) and rice pudding for dessert. The very congenial servers will assist you so that the amount of spice and heat is just what you want. Even after we had eaten our fill, there was plenty to take home. The ambience is very lovely and I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who likes Indian food or would like to sample Indian food.

We were celebrating my friend's milestone birthday! The team in Mantra made it SO memorable for her that she says its one of the bestest birthdays she has had!! What makes Mantra stand apart is its ambience- the decor is Gorgeous and there are so many aesthetic spots that we girls had a fun time with our mini photoshoot! The food and beverage options were awesome! Everything we ordered was very different than what we get in Indian restaurants. A huge shoutout to Jo and Manishankar! They were just so professional, friendly and took care of us really well that evening!! They are definitely amazing and Mantra is lucky to have such staff! Thank you, Jo and Mani, for making the dinner experience truly fun and special!

My two Colleen's in the area for work and found this place last minute. We are so grateful! What a wonderful dining experience. The restaurant is beautiful, the service was excellent, and the food delivered on every level. Thank you Mantra! We will be back.

Delicious food, all the usual but also creative new dishes, and surprisingly attentive service in a richly appointed space.

I recently dined at Mantra and had an exceptional experience. The food was absolutely fantastic, with rich flavors and a variety of dishes that truly showcased the best of Indian cuisine. Each dish was prepared to perfection, leaving me thoroughly impressed. The staff at Mantra were equally remarkable. They were not only great at their jobs but also incredibly helpful and attentive. Their warm hospitality made the dining experience even more enjoyable. Overall, I highly recommend Mantra for anyone looking to enjoy delicious Indian food in a welcoming and friendly atmosphere. I will definitely be returning soon!

Excelente ambiente y servicio... considero que la carta podría ser mejor explicada ya que la comida HINDÚ no es tan conocida

We are regulars to dine in at Mantra as we feel this is one of the few places left in the area which offers consistent, great food. Last weekend, we decided to cater food for a family gathering. Not only did Abi make the ordering process seamless, the food was fantastic! Abi made sure everything was ready for pick up when we arrived and the food was fresh with perfect spice level. We will definitely continue to dine in but will also cater for future gatherings as well!
