Food Mantra Reviews
6 of us went for some Assamese specialties, which we enjoyed immensely, along with what we might think of as more usual Indian fare. The specialties we tried: salmon steaks prepared in an Assamese way, delicious; wonderful and very flavourful mustard greens and a delicious potato eggplant mix. The went chef was very helpful. This little gem of a restaurant is worth a visit and call ahead to order their specialties.
I ordered veg biriyani and it was delicious.
We enjoy on Dinner here, nice little shop. Owner provided friendly service, even while he was busy with many orders.

Food Mantra is a cozy and small setup that serves an impressive variety of Hakka and Indian cuisine. The restaurant is renowned for its delicious food, including its momos, butter chicken roti, and butter chicken dinner combo. The owner is incredibly welcoming and manages both cooking and interacting with customers, making it a true neighborhood gem. The Chicken Biryani rice remains a standout dish, offering a unique taste experience. Regular customers praise the restaurant's cleanliness, exceptional service, and amazing ambiance. The menu includes popular dishes like Madras Lamb, lunch rice bowls, and generous portions of chicken and paneer rolls. Many recommend trying the Desi Hakka options, especially the Chicken 65, and customers enjoy great takeout specials as well. Despite some recent visits where dishes like Gobi Manchurian and rotis did not meet previous standards, the overall quality remains high and the flavors authentic. The flavors are rich, fresh, and unforgettable, with every dish bursting with care. The presentation, aromas, and spices are just right, reflecting the chefs' dedication. For those in Lakeshore and Long Branch looking for authentic Indian and Hakka food, Food Mantra continues to be a place that offers comfort, taste, and satisfaction, making it a favorite spot worth visiting repeatedly.
