Mantara - Phoenix

Mantra Indian Cuisine is fantastic! The food is delicious, and the portion sizes are quite generous, even for a typical American. The prices are excellent, and the service is outstanding. My partner and I dine there at least twice a week, often even more. We've become regulars, to the point where the owner playfully teases my Mexican partner about his tolerance for spice. Meanwhile, I love it spicy! I thought it was really sweet the other night when my partner went for dinner alone and the owner inquired about my whereabouts. Thank you, Mantra! You truly are the best!

I went out for lunch with a vegan friend, and we often struggle to find a place where we can both enjoy a good meal. This time, we decided to try Indian food for the first time, and we were assisted by a very helpful gentleman (sorry, I didn’t catch his name)! The mint chutney was incredible, and so were the masalas. I even tried the tofu, which was also fantastic—its texture was firm and not slimy at all! I was so impressed by both the food and the service that I've already shared my experience with many friends and family members. My friend and I plan to return in a few weeks to explore more dishes, and we’re really looking forward to it!

The menu was standard. We were offered free Desi chai during our visit. The service was extremely friendly.

Fresh and authentic Indian food. Great service. The spice combinations are always perfect. Even if you don't live in the neighborhood, it's worth it. I tell everyone it's the best in the valley!

I found this place when I was delivering uber eats awhile back. Placed smelled amazing and I knew I had to come back. The restaurant is small but roomy inside and plenty of seating. The server was so friendly and helpful. She even brought extra plates for our daughter and extra naan. I got the butter masala and my wife got the British paneer tikka masala. The orders for lunch came in a 3 course plate. A yummy crispy somosa with a green chutney, mint cilantro dipping sauce, that tasted fresh prepared. Something I'm not sure what it's called but taste like a donut hole with golden syrup, basmati rice and crispy flaky naan bread that was some of the best I've ever had. The masala was perfect. I ordered medium and was hot enough to get the nose dripping but not so hot I couldn't taste the flavor. Lunch comes with tea self serve and it was hot and full of flavor you would expect. Can't wait to come back
