" A friend and I paid a visit to Mantra by Host, and I was quite impressed! The decor was lovely, and we were seated promptly. The server was welcoming and attentive, guiding us through the menu items. We ordered a selection of appetizers, including the pakoras and chicken wings, which were crispy and delicious. The main courses were a touch slower to arrive, but when they did, the butter chicken was creamy and flavorful, while the lamb curry had a good kick. I look forward to coming back to enjoy more of their food. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have visited Mantra by Host numerous times, and each experience has been different from the last. The restaurant often has a cozy vibe, and the staff always makes us feel welcome. However, I must admit that during my latest visit, there was a slight drop in food quality. We ordered their signature biryani, but it was a bit on the soggy side, and the flavors weren’t as vibrant as I remembered. I also tried the chicken tikka, which was better, smoky and tender. The service was impeccable, and the manager came over to check if we were enjoying our meal. It was a busy night, and despite the food being slightly off, I appreciate the effort the staff made. Hopefully, next time my favorite dishes will be back to the top level! " (*Curated Review*)

" Mantra by Host captured my heart with its charm and delightful dishes! Our visit was wonderful from start to finish. We were seated promptly, and our server was very keen to help us decide on our orders based on our tastes. The tandoori chicken and lamb pepper fry that we tried were out of this world. Each bite was infused with authentic spices which made me feel like I was dining back home! The dessert, a fusion of rasmalai and tiramisu was an inventive twist, but I had expected something a bit more traditional. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, perfect for gatherings or intimate dinners. I would definitely recommend coming back for a taste of their exceptional Indian cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently tried Mantra by Host and had an experience filled with mixed feelings. The restaurant looked stunning with elegant decor and a vivacious atmosphere, but unfortunately, the food did not match up to my expectations. I ordered the butter chicken, which was delicious but overly sweet for my palate. My companions enjoyed their dishes, particularly praising the chicken tikka but had mixed feelings about their chaats. The service remained consistent though, with prompt attention throughout the meal. I think with a bit more attention toward the flavors, this could easily become a top choice for Indian dining. Overall, I would give it a tentative recommendation. " (*Curated Review*)

" I cannot say enough good things about my visit to Mantra by Host! The place has an amazing vibe, filled with people enjoying their meals. The service was excellent; our server had a great knowledge of the menu offerings. We ordered the chicken tikka and lamb curry, along with a couple of the fusion appetizers that turned out to be divine! The ambiance was warm and inviting, perfect for a cozy meal with friends. I recommend going for the butter chicken for a milder option. Can't wait to go again! " (*Curated Review*)

" My husband and I celebrated our anniversary at Mantra by Host last week, and it was a wonderful night. The atmosphere was romantic, with soft lighting and beautiful decor. The service was exceptional, and our waiter knew the menu inside out, providing great recommendations. We opted for the vegetarian platter for appetizers, which included paneer tikka and samosas, both perfectly cooked and tasted fresh. For mains, we shared the lamb curry and tandoori chicken. The lamb was tender but slightly on the sweeter side for my taste. The tandoori was well-marinated and flavorful. For dessert, we tried the rasmalai tiramisu, which is a unique fusion twist. It was good but not what I expected. Overall, we had a lovely evening, and I would recommend it for special occasions. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're in the mood for Indian food, Mantra by Host must be on your list! My friend and I went there last week and enjoyed a lovely meal. The service was prompt and the staff were friendly and attentive. We ordered various dishes, and I was particularly impressed by the garlic naan and the chicken curry. My only complaint was that the portions were a tad small. Nonetheless, the flavors made up for it, and I left satisfied. I’d certainly visit again to try more of their menu offerings.
