Excellent food. Great ambiance. One of the best Indian food place, if you are a website and like Indian cuisines. If I am in manila and get an opportunity- never miss a meal at Mantra Bistro.

I have always loved the food along with the beautiful quiet ambiance this resturant has to offer . I usually order the food in advance and collect it personally as i live in Alabang . Yesterday i placed an order however to my surprise once i reached home and tasted the food it tasted very different than before specially the mutton rogan josh . The curry looked funny as it was orange in colour rather than the usual brown . I certainly hope this is a one of instance and the quality and standard of food is maintained like before . I have always loved the food here as it reminds me of my home and the simple tastes are a delight . Please dont change !!!

Manila is a place with few Indian restaurants and one of them is Mantra Bistro. It's definitely paradise for Indians. Food will not disappoint you but the price can ;-)Service i found it not upto the mark. Have scope of improvement there.Missing Indian food in Manila - go for it...

food are quite on the expensive side. one good thing about them is that they do not hold off on the spices. a lot of indian restaurants, as i've noticed, cut down on spices esp if the customer is not an indian. food is tasty, must try their other dishes.

HORRIBLE service ...after waiting for two hours and several phone calls the order is cancelled randomly and when you are trying to call the restaurant to check why the order gets cancelled no answer .Never order to save the embarrassment

We’re always happy with our dining experience here! Food is consistently delicious and the staff are friendly and accommodating. Our go to dishes are the cheese naan, vegetable samosa, chicken makhani, chicken tikka w/ the mixed raita yogurt. I love to order the fresh lemonade w/ soda—so refreshing! Will always come back here!

The place is both a restaurant and a bar. It has a good taste of interior with homey aura specially on the lounge area. You can also eat or drink alfresco as there tables and chairs outside . Started with spicy peanut masala as appetizer, the blending of the nuts with its oil and herbs comes in great to start and loosen up a discriminating palate. The buttered chicken with garlic naan was the saucy star, best one I tasted so far. Then it gets better with their mixed chicken and mutton tikka , both tender and tempered to meet flavor that is expected. The bar concocts good mixed drinks in their own style and of course the fried okra as a cocktail food is a must. Lovely place , good food , friendly as well as attentive staffs including the owner . Not to mention parking was not a problem . My friend just earned his bragging rights over which is the Best indian resto all over the country;)

Had their paneer Tikka, chicken makhani, an order or regular naan and butter naan, and their mango lassi. First and foremost, the comparison is of course always going to be against the other big name Indian restaurant in the Makati area. And I would say that in comparison, Mantra would offer you better value for money. Their servings are bigger I think, and cost less at the same time. Quality-wise I say it doesn't reach the same heights, but if you're looking for better value for money this is the place to go.Their chicken makhani is good, the curry sauce is just okay to me, but the chicken itself was fantastic, very tender. Their naan is much more filling than you'd expect, it's almost like pizza dough rather than the flatter pita like texture that others have. One person probably can't eat more than two naans, so one order of naan can be shared. Their mango lassi was great, I'm not sure if it's fresh mango but it tasted nice all the same.

The only restaurant I have come across for charging 5% for take out and can't even give a proper carrier with a handle. Their paper bag is so thin, and the weight of the food is heavy. And you charge 5% ?!

Hi,We found staff is not kind.Food is tasty and quality is maintained.Seven of us went to the restaurant today, had food and paid the bill .then we came outside, waiting for our car just outside the restaurant. My son felt thirsty so I said go inside and ask for water but the staff is like there is no water so he came out disappointed. I went inside to ask , found the waitress having water jug in her hands , asked her to give water for my son but then she acted busy walking with the jug and didn't make an attempt to fetch the glass and serve water. I felt really bad and walked out of the restaurant frustrated.The rating I give for the food is excellent but staff is not kind so I gave average. Hope they will be trained on basic ethics.
