Wow this place is a hidden gem! Located on route 4 in Paramus, Mantra is such a classy chic Indian restaurant that has delicious food and a great vibe. Our drinks were amazing and the bar area is gorgeous-perfect for a date night. The restaurant is also chic and feels very upscale. The service was amazing and our waiter explained everything to us. The food was absolutely delicious!! We had some very unique dishes that were amazing. The Avocado Bhel appetizer really stood out-it has rice puffs mixed with avocado, onion, tomatoes, mint & date chutney. So unique and yummy! Also the lamb chops really were a winner and they were soooo tender. Honestly everything was amazing! They also have a banquet hall in the back for parties and it's a perfect place to host your next celebration! Insta: @thehungrysw

This restaurant has my heart! They do Indian food right annd the ambiance is amazing too! They sometimes have live music which instantly brightens up this place. We usually order for takeout and this restaurant delivers! Like their food is top notch, paneer is very soft and fresh. Every dish I have ordered from here has been delicious and freshly made. Service is top notch and their appetizers are innovative and beautifully done! Definitely coming back and ordering from here!

Have passed through this restaurant many times and thought of having lunch here , looking at google reviews . I always thought mantra was very expensive and high end restaurant and that wasn't the case . Amazing interiors with so many seats for customers. They have a bar once u enter and have good collections.. wish they had more varieties of beer . We ordered food and the service time was reasonable . Chicken lollipop was great . Loved it .. been a while since I had good lollipops. Not much oily and tasted well with the chutney. Naan went well with chicken tikka and goat curry . My friends loved it a lot . Service was very good and quick !! Reasonable price . Overall loved it . Thumbs up

Decided to check this place out for a friend's birthday dinner! At first glance, the interior was nice and displayed an elegant atmosphere. We ordered cocktails to cheer - the gin drink was a bit too sweet, but the pomegranate cosmopolitan tasted amazing! Drinks took a bit longer to come to our table, but we were able to munch on some appetizers such as samosas, chicken lollypops (came in a cute bicycle basket) and let's chaat. All tasted great! For entreé, i ordered the Kandahari Chicken and my friend ordered the chicken tikka masala, which were both very flavorful and tasted delicious! Our server was very friendly and helpful in describing the menu details. Overall, Mantra was a pleasant experience and would definitely recommend if you're looking to savor Indian cuisine.

Mantra is a great option for quality Indian food. The ambiance is modern and sophisticated. The staff is very friendly, they frequently check in and refill water/ drinks. I came here for the weekend buffet ($20PP) There were a variety of great food selection: chicken tikka masala, chicken tandoori, palak paneer, and pakora to name a few. For dessert they had gulab jamun and kheer which was excellent. For the price and the quality of the food/experience it's worth going to. Looking forward to returning soon.

Very good experience all around and one of the best modern Indian restaurants I've been to outside of Manhattan. The ambiance is very contemporary and the place is extremely clean. We had the lunch buffet and the options were all delicious. Tandoori chicken, chicken tikka masala, fritters, etc everything was flavorful and delicious. The naan was also excellent. The spread had a decent amount of variety and everything was very tasty, albeit several of the options are generally on the spicy side. The service here was also excellent and very friendly/attentive. All around it's a great experience for people who are looking for an above average Indian food experience that isn't in a hole in the wall kind of location. The price for the lunch buffet was also very reasonable given the quality of the overall food. I'm glad to see there are options like these outside of the city and away from all that traffic.
