"Mantra" is the sister restaurant to "The Indian Garden" Chicago. Since coming into business; our family at "IG" has offered an exploration of India's culture though its cuisine. We wanted to share the Indian tradition Atithi Devo Bhau, the supreme importance of the guests with Schiller Park.

Elegant and inviting; with a sumptuous decor awash in the hue's of India's signature spices and decor, the senses were meant to be indulged. Every aspect of Mantra; the food, the decor, the ambiance was designed to excite your senses while also ushering them through the passage of Culinary Nirvana.

    Quality of food has definitely declined. They have increased the prices but decreased the quality of food. Not worth the money

    Good food, lovely ambience, great service, reasonable prices. All in all one of the best Indian options in the area, especially if you have time between flights at O’hare.

    We did ordered Tandoori chicken at 8:00pm and they told us that they ran out of Tandoori chicken. They recommended to order Chicken Tikka which we did. They didn’t bring chicken Tikka until we finished our dinner, so we cancelled the item. That was very disappointing.

    Great place for Indian food. Parking lot was full when we arrived. There are two electric car slots available. There was onstreet parking available across the street from the restaurant. This appears to be a popular takeout place also as many people come in to pickup orders. Very charming decorations upon entry. Our waiter was able to provide recommendations and answered questions about the dishes. Portions were generous. Food was flavorful. Especially liked the keema (ground lamb)naan and (eggplant) baigan bharta. My companion needed the yogurt raita to offset the heat medium level spicy shrimp biryani but I found the spice level quite pleasant. Overall a satisfying indian meal.

    We were a bit disappointed with Mantra this time. The Butter Chicken had an off taste, like the cream or butter was sour and the chicken was over cooked. The Rogan Josh was good but very little meat was served with the $20 order. The butter naan was excellent as was the chicken pakora. The service was excellent as well. Maybe this was an off night but for the price we expected better.

    I took a group here in January and enjoyed it so much (even though I don't typically enjoy Indian food) that when I was in the area for dinner with a friend, it was the first place that I thought of and we had a fantastic meal. I'm probably going to have to stop claiming not to like Indian Food - at least when I'm at Mantra that is.

    Delicious food, very friendly staff. Only criticism; the kitchen could work on order output, one persons meal came out 20 minutes before everyone else. But honestly, I would go every week if I could. Very good.

    We ordered the mixed veg pakora, chicken tikka masala, dil khush kofta and garlic naan. Everything was delicious. The only disappointment was the stale pappadam, which was soft and chewy. The service and ambience was good. We would definitely go back or pick up from here again.

    Mantra is a go-to for us. Love the dishes. Outstanding food. Where they need to improve is on service, which has deteriorated over the past couple of years. Seems like a lot of inexperienced people are working there, though they are quite nice. Tough times in the service industry for sure. Lastly, and this is a nit, the water fountain's flow is too strong which makes it sound like a loud toilet. Turn down the water! Again, not a reflection of the food...just a detail.

    The service was incredibly slow. We had to flag down our waiter for everything from refills on beverages to getting the check. Our meal took 2 1/2 hours. The food was good but very expensive - $4 for a small cup of chai and $5 for tiny glasses of lassi.

    We were a group of eight guests. This was our first time dining at Mantra and for some the first time eating Indian cuisine. We had lots of questions and received great recommendations. As a vegan, I had a lot of options and was very pleased with their selection. I highly recommend this restaurant.

    The service was exceptional and the food was delicious. We had a larger party and the restaurant was quite accommodating. The gentleman taking care of us was Mani and he extremely attentive and was very friendly. His supporting staff was also very helpful. Mani was very detail oriented and is truly an asset to your team. Great overall experience and a special thanks to Mani and his team for making it memorable.

    My wife and I had a wonderful experience. The staff was very friendly. The food was amazing and the wait time was only 10 to 15 minutes. So we didn't wait to long for a table. My wife and I also was there for New Years Eve. We had chicken tiki marsel with rice and it was delicious 😋 . It's one of our favorite dishes that we have all the time. We will definitely be come back for our 2 year wedding anniversary sometime in May. Thanks again for a wonderful experience 😊.

    We have been going to Mantra for a few years and except for the service it never disappoints. Not sure why the servers are so unfriendly. They always seem annoyed we’re there. The food is exceptional though so we muddle through the service.

    Overall a very great experience at this restaurant. Only down side , tables are very small to accommodate ordered food. Due to weekend rush, understandably the staff was trying to rush the ordered food and get us out from there fast. That’s totally okay. Other than that ambience, location, food was excellent.

    Food was not as good as what you expect for the amount you pay at this place. Lacking on the spice levels and taste you expect from an Indian restaurant. For the price I paid, I expect a much tastier food.
