Naan Chicken Tikka Masala
This upscale Indian restaurant is conveniently located in the Shops On IV Strip Mall.
I decided to explore an appetizer and main course.
Naan: The freshly baked leavened bread was soft and pillowy. I opted to have the read flavored with aromatic garlic; there was no up charge for this added topping.
The bread tastes perfectly as is is great for dipping.
Chicken Tikka Masala: The chicken was tender and juicy. It was marinated in multiple spices and blended with a creamy tomato sauce.
The added peppers and onions enhanced the flavor and the sauce is perfect for dipping any type of Indian bread.
I highly recommend requesting an extra cup of the creamy tikka masala sauce; the more sauce the merrier!
During my dine in experience, I received prompt, efficient service. I also enjoyed listening to the modern cover songs.
If you are waiting for a table, there is a beautiful lounge and bar near the main entrance.
The dining area closes in the middle of the day between 2:30 PM to 5:30 PM. Be sure to arrive early because the tables will fill up as the night progresses.
Good food, have kept parties there before, service is good.

Server was the worst Dinesh had no smile. I came here once before about a year ago and he was our server we had a drink and he had the worst personality. We came back today to try to eat.. The chicken was so tough I couldn't cut it with my fork or knife. He never came and checked until we were finished to give us the bill. The white chicken was tandoori grilled with cream and lemon nothing else. Very disappointed as we own an Indian restaurant in NY and by the 4 star reviews we wanted to give it a shot. As a business owner we know how important reviews are but this couldn't be let go unfortunately.

Food and service is always exceptional. Mantra salad, Lamb chops and tiger shrimp are always delicious.

Delicious food, attentive staff and beatiful setting. Unassuming from the outside, but when you walk in it's very nice. Their event space is especially beautiful. They have several unique dishes here that are delicious. We particularly loved the bass and the asparagus kofta, but everything was great and the service was as well.

Thank you for tonight, Meenu. Your restaurant is an unassuming treasure that I am happy to have unlocked. Elegant fine-dining at an affordable price. The low-lighting ambience and other décor set very welcoming and soothing overtones. The reception and service complemented the experience nicely; it was great.
I had the Chicken Tikka Masala as my main course, which was delightful. The marinated chicken accompanied by the curry gravy and especially the na'an bread left me very satisfied.
As a further note, the menu is a fusion of different regional cuisines from other parts of Asia as well. I am eager to savor new flavors and themes upon my returning visits.

We threw my father in laws 70th birthday party in Mantra’s banquet hall and all was perfect. Food (delicious and generous), service and atmosphere were great and all the guests complimented us on the pick of the venue. It was a bit difficult to get in touch with management leading up the party with multiple phone calls and emails but once it all worked out we were happy with the outcome. Would recommend to others, would also encourage Mantra to try and smooth out the process in contacting for private events.

We went to the restaurant because we were craving for Indo- Chinese. Because it was a weekday they don't serve it. But man masaledaar paneer was too good. I enjoyed the fact that music wasn't loud that you couldn't have a conversation. I will be going back to have their Indo- Chinese food for sure
Beautiful atmosphere, staff is very attentive & nice. Entrees are small in portion but makes up in taste

Booked a reservation and drove 30 min only to find out they had a private party when we got there. On top of that they didn’t even apologize.

I went to Mantra yesterday. The food was good and overall it was a fine experience. I do think the service could be improved a little, but otherwise everything was fine.
