  • An award winning, Zagat and Michelin recommended modern California India, Mantra offers a unique dining experience featuring the modern cuisines of California and India. Mantra experience consists of a unique triad of pairings: -Pairing the California freshness with flavors and aromas of India -Pairing this great new cuisine with some bold and seductive wines from around the world -Pairing the bright Indian colors and contemporary art into the high ceiling ambiance of Palo Alto's old Bijou theater And finally we deliver this trio of fresh food, great wines and warm ambiance with our non-pretentious service to achieve the ultimate "Mantra Experience." So far, critics and guests have loved this unique experience, we invite you to come and enjoy it too.
