yesterday we were there around 8 to 9 ordered Tomoto soup, fish and veg biryani. Food was okay and good. the person who served us food cough directly on the food. he not even covering with his hands. the same person takes out trash in front of us. and we are not even sure whether he washed at least his hands after. we never coming back after seeing such low hygiene people serving food. We are in weird times where we are seeing these kind of people in restaurants after seeing worst COVID days.

While the food is AWESOME, and the people are very friendly, they seem to always be a server or two short.

To start off you have to understand this is a true India restaurant not some American combination and with that clear. This place is average but above good for food that’s not readily available everyday in America. I highly recommend all who see this restaurant to check it out! FYI the portion are huge

Huge menu. Very nice atmosphere. My friend tried the Mantra Mushroom and I had the Mantra Shrimp with Basmati rice. We also shared some of the freshly baked garlic naan. The food was fresh and delicious. The service was very good even though the server didn’t speak very good English. It’s clean inside and the bathrooms are clean. This was my first time trying this restaurant and I will definitely be going back.

You can’t get better Indian food anywhere near here. It’s excellent! And they’ll kick up the flavor if you ask! Portion sizes are generous. Restaurant is clean. Decor is pleasant. View through the windows into old downtown Staunton is nice too.

I was at a work conference and I got this food and it was amazing. Literally heavenly, possibly the best Indian food I’ve ever had. Did I eat it while sitting it on the floor of my hotel? Yes. Would I do it again? I dream of it.

The food is delicious and the selection is great. They’ve got something for everyone so even if you’ve never had a crumb of Indian food in your life, you’ll find something you’ll come back for. Glad to have this place in Staunton, easily one of my top 5 places to eat in town.

Absolutely delicious! Inside is nice and atmospheric and the staff are friendly. The Lamb curry was spiced perfectly and the meat was cooled beautifully. I haven’t had a better lamb dish anywhere else. The Aloo Paratha was a little on the greasy side but it was so good and fresh, it didn’t matter. A little on the pricier side but absolutely worth it! If you’re in the Staunton area, this is a must.
