"Mantra" is the sister restaurant to "The Indian Garden" Chicago. Since coming into business; our family at "IG" has offered an exploration of India's culture though its cuisine. We wanted to share the Indian tradition Atithi Devo Bhau, the supreme importance of the guests with Schiller Park.

Elegant and inviting; with a sumptuous decor awash in the hue's of India's signature spices and decor, the senses were meant to be indulged. Every aspect of Mantra; the food, the decor, the ambiance was designed to excite your senses while also ushering them through the passage of Culinary Nirvana.

    Mantra is a go-to for us. Love the dishes. Outstanding food. Where they need to improve is on service, which has deteriorated over the past couple of years. Seems like a lot of inexperienced people are working there, though they are quite nice. Tough times in the service industry for sure. Lastly, and this is a nit, the water fountain's flow is too strong which makes it sound like a loud toilet. Turn down the water! Again, not a reflection of the food...just a detail.

    The service was incredibly slow. We had to flag down our waiter for everything from refills on beverages to getting the check. Our meal took 2 1/2 hours. The food was good but very expensive - $4 for a small cup of chai and $5 for tiny glasses of lassi.

    We were a group of eight guests. This was our first time dining at Mantra and for some the first time eating Indian cuisine. We had lots of questions and received great recommendations. As a vegan, I had a lot of options and was very pleased with their selection. I highly recommend this restaurant.

    The service was exceptional and the food was delicious. We had a larger party and the restaurant was quite accommodating. The gentleman taking care of us was Mani and he extremely attentive and was very friendly. His supporting staff was also very helpful. Mani was very detail oriented and is truly an asset to your team. Great overall experience and a special thanks to Mani and his team for making it memorable.

    My wife and I had a wonderful experience. The staff was very friendly. The food was amazing and the wait time was only 10 to 15 minutes. So we didn't wait to long for a table. My wife and I also was there for New Years Eve. We had chicken tiki marsel with rice and it was delicious 😋 . It's one of our favorite dishes that we have all the time. We will definitely be come back for our 2 year wedding anniversary sometime in May. Thanks again for a wonderful experience 😊.

    We have been going to Mantra for a few years and except for the service it never disappoints. Not sure why the servers are so unfriendly. They always seem annoyed we’re there. The food is exceptional though so we muddle through the service.

    Overall a very great experience at this restaurant. Only down side , tables are very small to accommodate ordered food. Due to weekend rush, understandably the staff was trying to rush the ordered food and get us out from there fast. That’s totally okay. Other than that ambience, location, food was excellent.

    Food was not as good as what you expect for the amount you pay at this place. Lacking on the spice levels and taste you expect from an Indian restaurant. For the price I paid, I expect a much tastier food.

    The restaurant/ambiance is beautiful. The food is great! The service is sub-par. The entire staff wasn't friendly or welcoming. Waited a while for our server when we were seated at our table. They took long to get our orders, forgot glasses for waters, didn't bring our sauces, and didn't check on us. Had to keep asking our server for things. Servers didn't introduce themselves. Waited long for the check. We were celebrating our mom's bday. Had balloons and cupcakes, it was very obvious yet they didn't acknowledge her. Didn't even get a "happy birthday " from anyone. Wont be going back.

    One of my favorite Indian spots in chicagoland! Food is great from the butter chicken to the tandoori to the veggie dishes and combine that with a nice ambiance and decor that beats most Indian joints you get a fun time out!
