Had a very nice group lunch as Namaste! We were able to be seated right away on a Saturday for lunch. Great variety of naan and both veg and non-veg selections were solid. Portion size was good for CA.

Had a very nice evening at Mantra. Drinks were good, my fav appetizer Avacado Jalmuri hit the spot. We tried a new bread , Achari Gobi which was simply delicious and paired well with Bhindi. Joy, our host remembered us from our prior visit. He was very professional, friendly and very polite. He was very happy to see us and insisted that we go back more often which made us feel very special. He and his team are very attentive and pay attention to their customers consistently. Would definitely go back and recommend Mantra to our friends and family
