"Mantra" is the sister restaurant to "The Indian Garden" Chicago. Since coming into business; our family at "IG" has offered an exploration of India's culture though its cuisine. We wanted to share the Indian tradition Atithi Devo Bhau, the supreme importance of the guests with Schiller Park.

Elegant and inviting; with a sumptuous decor awash in the hue's of India's signature spices and decor, the senses were meant to be indulged. Every aspect of Mantra; the food, the decor, the ambiance was designed to excite your senses while also ushering them through the passage of Culinary Nirvana.

    There is always a wait time, even if you have a reservation. Food is definitely worth it though! Service is quick once you are seated. 10/10 on quality of food.

    BEST INDIAN FOOD IN THE CHICAGO AREA! My husband and I drive 45 minutes to this restaurant and it’s worth it every time! The service is great, very friendly and fast. The ambiance and restaurant style is perfect. We have eaten our favorite Indian food at restaurants all over the country and this is the best!!! My husband had tandoori chicken and I had curry lamb. It was perfect and full of flavor. This is a repeat restaurant for my family. Highly recommended. If you are in Chicago you need to try this restaurant.

    My husband and I have been going to Mantra for about 5 years, we love the atmosphere, the staff make us feel welcomed, and the food is consistently amazing. Mantra is the best in the business.

    Appetizer portions (Paneer Tikka) are significantly small. Might not be enough for the group. Have the wait staff or menu mention it for proper ordering.

    This was our second visit to Mantra and, like the first, we were impressed with the quality and authenticity of the food. Salads were fresh, qualities plentiful and seasoning done right (Caution: for some, the food might be spicy, but it is prepared as it should be). The only issue here is that the courses are served very quickly, sometimes too quickly. My husband is diabetic and usually takes an insulin shot between courses. Though we asked them to hold the entree for a few minutes when we placed the order, entrees were served while he was taking his shot. In addition, there is a tendency to bring things "as is," so I had to send my salad back as I asked for the dressing on the side. Other than that, wine selection is nice and not overpriced, and there is a variety of food options on the menu, from those who are meat-centric to vegetarian. Not the best Indian cuisine we've had but worth a return visit.
