Mantra - Corona

The Indian food was delicious as always. I placed my order over the phone and sent someone to pick it up. However, when I received my food, it was missing the rice that typically comes with it. I called to inquire about the missing rice, only to be informed that it had to be ordered separately. Unfortunately, my lunch break was almost over and I didn't have anyone available to go back and get the rice for me.

I highly recommend Mantra for anyone looking for delicious and spicy Indian food in Corona. The staff is knowledgeable about the difference between vegan and vegetarian options, which is a big plus. I particularly enjoy their Saag, Chana Masala, chutney, and pickles. The service is also excellent, making it a great place to visit.

First of all, the waiters here were so incredibly helpful and nice, for this they deserve 5 stars. There is a lunch buffet for only $10, and there are a lot of vegetarian options, but because a lot of authentic south Indian cooking uses ghee, most veg dish automatically becomes not vegan. On the buffet I could eat the daal, basmati rice, and potato fritter. They also had a small salad bar which had veggies and Indian sauces using tamarind and coriander/cilantro. As an Indian person I expected the ghee to be in everything but also get frustrated by this, because many dishes can also easily become veganother than the buffet, there are several vegan options on the menu itself, just ask which ones are ok, there are about 5 dishes. The food is also very good!

I submitted the description for this restaurant and I have to say that the food is flavorful and the portions are generous. I highly recommend trying the buffet for your first visit as it is affordable and offers a good variety of options, including choices for vegans.

Indian food is always delicious. I ordered from the menu on the phone and sent someone to pick it up. when I got the food that is served in the restaurant with rice, it only had the juice part of it. I called and complained that my order was missing the rice, so the lady said that rice is not included, I would have to order separately and no one told me anything. my lunch was almost over and I had no one to get the rice.
