Mantra Indian Cuisine — Restaurant in Corona

I give this restaurant 3 stars, I am taking off 2 stars due to the bad service and bad lamb chop tandoori dish. I still give it 3 stars because the paneer shahi and the naan that I tried was delicious. I went in around dinner time, it was not busy and it looks very nice inside. As we sat there we hear this constant loud ringing that was louder than the music that was playing. This ringing was due to the fact that they have door dash orders coming in, but they did not silence the ringing even though it’s a push of a button and it was actually very annoying. They do come by frequently and refill water only, I ordered a soda and I had to ask them multiple times to refill my soda and they are very slow to do it. They only refilled my soda one time and when I asked a second time they never came back to refill it even though he refilled the water and my empty soda was right next to it. When the food came out the lamb chops were very over cooked and the meat on the bone was about the size of a 25 cent quarter. This was unacceptable to me due to the fact that they charge 31.00$ for 5 pieces. I would recommend getting anything else on the menu and not eating inside due to the issues with the staff if you want to have a good experience...

The worst service we've experienced. Waited for 30mins for a table, which we were okay with. Ordered appetizers ahead during wait time, of which one item never arrived. I asked the server first time they said the chicken tandoori takes time, I said okay. I had to ask the server again what happened and they said they served it to another table by mistake; no apology and didn't say that the item won't be served at all to us. No one came to our table to take our drink order and then I had to call the server to order our main course. After all the main course was served, they forgot accompaniments and we had to ask again! The food was below average, the onion bhaji was cold and looked like it was made with leftover onion bits, the chili paneer was gelatinous and the lamb was so tough in rogan josh that it was inedible. We were there to celebrate a birthday but turned out to be the worst 2.5 hours and we couldn't get out of there fast enough. Please don't sit people for dinner if you don't have the staff to support, very disrespectful of people's time and money. I would give this...

This place is great! The food is amazing. Every time I’ve gone the food never ceases to impress me. I usually order from the “Complete Dinners” there is one vegetarian options and the other two are not. I’ve tried all three and none of them disappointed.

My go to is the: Non-Vegetarian Dinner. My mouth waters when they set the plate down I front of me… and that’s why I keep coming back. -and all the dinners come with Naan 🤤

Edit

The food is still good but they took a lot of their original decor down which gave it more character. The ones they have now looks like some generic Marshall’s on-the-clearance-rack-decor. The worst part is the size of the cup when you ask for just water. I’m talking 4-5 oz of water depending on how much ice is in the cup.

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had to look for our waitress to flag her down and have to ask for more water. Annoying for her and embarrassing for me. I brought my previous 5 star down to a 2 since they’ve changed this and service...
