First time visit, primarily to try their lunch buffet. Nothing great, but not bad either. Service was decent. Dessert options were pretty non existent. Food was good.
Was surprised with the robot coming to deliver our fresh bread (Nan, paratha etc).
Place is in downtown Victoria which is a blessing, and currently one of the few giving an Indian lunch buffet experience.
Would be willing to give it a try again, next time I visit.
We we’re looking for a new (to us) place to have dinner this evening and decided to give The Mantra a try. We order glasses of Shiraz wine and Hoyne Pilsner beer while we perused the menu. A plan soon was hatched to order enough for dinner tonight and lunch tomorrow. We chose mild-medium heat for most things except a couple we chose medium. We’re not really brave when it comes to the spice level of food but we would comfortably choose medium for everything next time. Every dish we had was excellent and the server who was working her first day was really great. Everything was delivered by Robbie, except for the tandoori fish that someone carried out sizzling madly (the fish not the server)! We will be back for sure!
My best friend recommended this place while I was in town so we met up with my cousin and enjoyed the buffet lunch before I left town. It was absolutely delicious - some of the best Indian food I’ve ever had and for the price/value it cannot be beat. I will be returning every time I am in town. Service was extremely friendly and the atmosphere is so lovely. Decorated extremely well. Love the robot too; it took us by surprise! Not sure what the pistachio/coconut type pudding was but both me and my friend were obsessed!!
