" I went there expecting a high-quality Indian buffet, but while some dishes were great, others fell flat. The chicken tikka masala, unfortunately, lacked the depth of flavor I was expecting, and the biryani was a little dry. On the flip side, the desserts were delightful! I mention this as a balance of both good and room for improvement. Service was acceptable, but I hope they fine-tune the menu with better authenticity in their dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" Mantra is a beautiful Indian restaurant boasting an extensive menu. Their buffet is particularly commendable, with numerous vegetarian and non-vegetarian options to satisfy any craving. The atmosphere is lively, and the staff is quick to assist with whatever is needed. While I enjoyed the meal overall, some dishes felt slightly on the milder side in terms of spiciness. I appreciate that they're trying to cater to diverse palates, but I would have loved a little more kick! " (*Curated Review*)

" The food was fantastic at Mantra India! I have never had such authentic flavors in the Bay Area before. Their butter chicken was creamy and flavorful, just like I remember from my visits to India. The naan was freshly made and paired perfectly with everything. While the service was a bit slow at times, the kindness of the staff made up for it. I will certainly return and recommend it wholeheartedly to friends and family. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently hosted a small birthday dinner at Mantra, and it couldn’t have gone better! From the moment we arrived, the staff greeted us warmly and made sure we were well taken care of throughout the evening. We feasted on malai kofta and various naan varieties; everything was balanced in flavors and beautifully presented. I genuinely appreciated their attention to detail. Not to mention the cocktails were a hit with our guests! I will certainly be returning. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a fantastic experience at Mantra! The lunch buffet was delightful, featuring a variety of authentic Indian dishes. The paneer tikka was especially well prepared, and the desserts were rich and tasty. The staff were friendly and ensured we were nourished throughout our meal. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking to have an authentic Indian buffet experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" Celebrated my anniversary here and had a wonderful time! The staff even surprised us with a complimentary dessert, which was a sweet touch. I ordered the goat curry which was highly recommended, and it was delectable. They also have a good variety of cocktails, and we tried a mango margarita that was refreshing. The combination of ambiance, service, and food quality makes it a gem in the Indian dining scene of the Bay Area! " (*Curated Review*)

" Delightfully surprised by how much I enjoyed my meal! The goat curry was rich and flavorful, and paired excellently with their fragrant basmati rice. The mango lassi was refreshing, perfecting my meal. Another highlight was the attentive service – our server was very knowledgeable about the menu and made great recommendations. The restaurant itself had a warm and inviting atmosphere which made our experience even better. I can’t wait to return to try more dishes from the buffet! " (*Curated Review*)
