FYI Hyderabad dum biryani is not a name it s a recipe and if you can t do that way then just rename your red rice recipe as mantra biryani b...

Nice ambience, great food. If you are ''samosa' fan this is not the place. they will serve you the frozen which are easily available in indian stores. Otherwise
This is a really really nice place , would say closest to giving you an indian authentic touch.

Horrible Experience. We waited an hour to get food. Theu Don't even have stuff that's listed on the menu. No blue moon which is not on the menu, but not even other listed. Same case in certain food like Raj Kachori. I hate this place.

Dear Owner... Do you understand the meaning of keeping JAIN GODs Idol at your restaurant... And there you're serving Non-Veg food???
It's not good that you're doing business in America so You can use Jain Idols to add some fancy show off in your business.

Awesome place with very hip decor. Not overwhelming like other Indian places.
Pakora Chicken is one of menu items that everyone should try.
We also had plate with sample of tandoori chicken, baked lamb, cod and shrimp. Everything was simply delicious and you can definitely name spices used for sea...

Called ahead as my wife is not a fan of spicy food and was assured there were non-spicy items on the menu. On ordering, the waiter suggested butter chicken for her as being not spicy. While waiting for our food, a couple came in with their 2 young children and was seated by us.They asked t...

We usually go by reviews if no one has tasted in a restuarant and I order biriyani, and appetizer. By seeing it was ok but biriyani taste is like tomato rice and for sure chicken was not fresh. It is so hard and for sure it is warmed up from freezer and given to us. Dont go guys.

This was a good place we found. We found to drop our parents to ohare airport and this is pretty much on the way to Indi from airport. The food was very good. It was a little expensive , but it felt like a date place . An Indian date night , if you would.

I randomly gave this restaurant a try because it was the closest to my hotel I was staying at. Made a quick call for take out in traffic, and the attention to the detail with my order was spectacular. Upon arrival, was welcomed with beautiful elephants that caught my eye. The Palak Paneer here is am...

I was in love with this place. But my last experience ruined all of it. I ordered potato stuffed bread and ask them if they can make it little spicy, they added all the green chilies and made a green chili bread. On top of it we had to wait 45 min to get the food and the service was so poor. Nobody...

I would give it a zero if there was one. We ordered lychee ice cream. WE GOT FRICKIN KULFI. $5 for 2 sticks of the wrong thing such a ripoff. They also forgot about our order and got us the wrong thing. How stupid. Food is just barely ok. The service is unimaginably terrible. NEVER COME TO THIS PLAC...

A perfect balance of both traditional and modern touch to its decor gives a warmth to this place. The chicken biryani which we ordered took a lot of time to arrive. Als...

Good place to checkout if you are craving for indian food while staying at Chicago. Quality, taste and ambience is credit worthy. Menu is quite wide spread with lots of options.

Service is quite slow though for even a weekday evening.

The best Indian food we ve had, and friendly staff. I ll admit we only ever order the same dishes at every Indian restaurant (murgh makhani (butter chicken), palak paneer, naan, and saffron rice), but Mantra s is so far the most delicious! It is also the farthest away so we can only come when we ve ...

Great ambience and nice home made food kind.. Tried Nawabi biriyani and Paneer pakora and they were good and felt like home made. Food was not spicy and for sure they considered all nationalities taste level.

Overall good food for some expensive price

I love Indian food. My three kids did not... Until my family dined here. It's a beautiful establishment that is relaxed and elegant at the same time. Almost too fancy for a family with kids, but we visited before standard dinner hour rush. The menu is more creative than what I'm used to seeing a...

Our portions were huge! Split an order of Punjabi samosa and an order of shahi paneer with someone and we had to take home leftovers. To be fair, we were not starving when the meal began but still... hefty portions. The samosas were a nice starter with flaky crust and a spicy (but not too hot!) fi...
