Mantra Contemporary Indian Dining

Truly the best Indian meal I've had in London: lamb shanks were marinaded and cooked to perfection, the paneer was excellent, and the garlic naans were perfect.

Personally loved the decor (unlike my better half), but we both agreed that the food more than made up for it. A lovely evening rounded off with delicious homemade kiwi sorbet which was the perfect balance of sweet and tangy.

Will definitely recommend Mantra to our friends, although I'm already looking forward to my next visit there!

I went there about a month ago. I can't believe it is in the top ten!!! The decor is amazing, however the food is over priced and the service is appauling. I had to wait 25mins for a coffee, and we were the only customers in the restaurant. I would not dine there again.

This is the standard that Indian food should be held to-world class quality and variety. The lamb chops are exceptional. Even the simple naan is high quality.

live in New Delhi , and was in London recently. My friends took me to this ever so interesting place in Hounslow. I met the people behind the design and style and am very impressed with the quality and style in which Indian food is presented here. Was told by our hostess that the desserts come all the way from Paris and they were ever so fresh. The Ice creams were good too.

I work for at the air India crew as a hostess for club world. Went to this place on a friends recommendation and was not disappointed at all. It’s the best Indian restaurant near Heathrow and gives a perfect feel as if you are in one of City’s Club. Must Go and must try Seekh Kebabs and Lamb Chops.

I have been here 3 times.

It is the only restaurant which serves Pudina Parantha which is originally a Delhi must eat.

Coming originally from India , I craved for butter chicken moti Mahal style for the entire duration of my stay of 9 months here, until I found this place.

I love taking all my friends who visit me from different parts of the world .

The Mock tails is excellent as well. Perfect as a cool down on a hot summer day!

Due to the nature of business I am in, Mantra seemed to be a perfect choice for an important business lunch. I had three executives from a big fashion company flying in to London for a Make-or-break meeting, so I really needed to impress! And impress I did. The food was amazing, the service exemplary and the overall ambiance sublime. I highly recommend Mantra for all you "foodies" out there.

Mantra is the best Indian restaurant!!! Love everything about it...the place, food, service.

For all the people who dont like Mantra..get ur taste buds checked.

And hey if you want chicken tikka masala and rice go to a Bangladeshi restaurant!!

My wife and I went to Mantra for a meal. As I travel quite a bit I thought it would be nice to take her somewhere special to catch up. My instinct always told me mantra is different. When you walk into Mantra you feel a sense of warmth and comfort. As you walk on the glass floor, you know that you have arrived somewhere special with low. We were immediately taken to our seats in which the waitress then proceeded to offer the menus. In the end we both went for the Lamb chops. I have to say that the lamb was so soft it really did melt in your mouth. Though my wife could not eat it all I had no problems as the portions, I felt were Just right. Mantra is a special place and is the furthest away from your local Tandoori.
