Mantra (Nepalese & Indian Cuisine) — Restaurant in Liberty Township

Tonight was our first time dining at Mantra but it absolutely won’t be our last. We started off with the spicy chili momo and we were blown away with how flavorful they were. The heat/spice level was perfectly balanced (we ordered them a little extra spicy). We had to make ourselves stop eating them because we had more food on the way, Chicken Tikka Masala and Lamb Biryani, and a bread basket (fresh naan, garlic naan, and roti). The garlic naan was some of the best I’ve ever had. So soft and steamy and plenty of garlic. The lamb biryani was out of this world. The lamb was so tender and there was plenty of it in the dish. The chicken tikka masala was perfectly spiced and tender. I can’t recommend Mantra enough. It’s Friday and we’re already making dinner plans for Monday.

Wow! This is my second visit and I keep getting blown away each time. The first time I had lamb tikka masala but the second time I didn’t even make it past the apps.

The dumplings come in multiple flavors but I got the spicy ones and the steamed ones. Steamed are good but the spicy ones are to die for! A must! Chicken tikka comes in a sizzling fashion very cool! Service is nice very amicable people. Helpful and always trying to provide a good ambiance. Very good hidden gem! And again the spicy dumplings are a must if you can handle it. It is spicy but nothing too bad. Not a fan of the vegetables on the side but the main dish is to die for! They also didn’t kick us out and welcomed us in after walking...

Having growing up in Atlanta, I grew up eating at the many Indian and Nepalese restaurants there. Eating at Mantra brings me back to some of my fondest culinary memories, first experiencing the smells, colors, and spices of the food from India and Nepal.

Everything I have had at Mantra has been delicious, but my go-to dishes are the Panipuri as an appetizer, the Tandoori Chicken Tikka, which always comes out sizzling and juicy, and the Thali Special, which offers a variety of Nepalese small dishes, so you can try many different things if you want.

Sashi and Shariya have always taken care of me, and make me feel like I am eating as a guest of theirs rather than just a customer. I highly recommend Mantra if you want some authentic Indian and...
