I usually have decent things to say about Mantra, but on Tuesday night (3/1/2011) I had a reservation via opentable.com at 7:30, was not seated until after 8:00 and the service was extremely slow with poor pacing between courses. We did not receive our food until almost 9:30 and the appetizer order was incorrect. Even my side dish came after I was halfway done with my filet mignon. I'm not sure if I will return or recommend Mantra again as I have so many times in the past.
If anything, I'd recommend having dinner at the bar.
7/2011:
I had a friend visiting from Turks & Caicos and we were milling around looking for lunch on a Saturday in Downtown Crossing since Kingston Station was not open at the time. So, I decide to head into Mantra.
My new recommendation is that the lunch buffet is THE best time to go to Mantra! The spread was pretty great and there's no need to worry about receiving poor service! The price was decent at $12 from 11:30-2:30 daily.
The buffet has okra dishes (masala and fried), chicken tikka masala, vegetable fritters,vegetable biryani, tandoori chicken....all the favorite staples.
