    📍Mantra in Paramus, NJ. This super chic Indian restaurant really impressed me. The food is absolutely delicious and not your typical Indian food. Everything is well thought out and has a modern twist but holds the traditional Indian food flavors that we all love. The atmosphere at the bar is perfect for a date night and the restaurant is beautiful as well. The service is impressive and our waiter really made us feel at home. The lamb chops were the star but here were some of our favorite dishes: 🪭Follow @thehungrysw for more NJ/NYC suggestions! 🌀 Avocado Bhel-rice puffs mixed with avocado, onion, tomatoes, mint & date chutney. 🌀 Kakori Chaampein-Lamb Chops marinated in yogurt, raw papaya, paprika, cloves, nutmeg & cinnamon. 🌀Raunak E Seekh-Minced lamb seekh crusted with red onions, ginger, fresh mint leaves & coriander seeds. 🌀 Chowk Ka Lassuni Masala- Chicken cooked with caramelized onions, fresh garlic, cardamom & onion seeds. • • • #newjerseyfoodie #foodies #foodporn #foodphotography #njdaytrips #jerseyeats #jerseyfoodie #astateofflavors #LocalLivingNJ #local #localbusiness #newjerseyisntboring #eastcoastfoodies #eaterny #foodblogger #instafood #foodie #delicious #liketheshares #boostmyshares #FoodExplorerTribe #welove2eat #foodieztm #indian #indianfood #lambchops #globaleats #foodieztm

    How disappointing to turn up for our confirmed reservation to find the restaurant closed for maintenance.... Prior visits have been delightful with delicious food and fun cocktails, so there is a very good chance that we will return.

    This place is a hidden gem! Delicious food and drink, a vibey bar side, and more quiet, upscale dining room.The service was great and everything we tried was 10/10. I’ll be back!

    Delicious food, attentive staff and beatiful setting. Unassuming from the outside, but when you walk in it's very nice. Their event space is especially beautiful. They have several unique dishes here that are delicious. We particularly loved the bass and the asparagus kofta, but everything was great and the service was as well.

    High quality food it was just too bland for our liking. We asked for medium, but it came in with very little spice.

    This is the worst Indian buffet I ever had. There were hardly 4-5 items and with mediocre tastings. On top of that deceptive billing practices for charging adult pricing to Kids buffet. And then a 15 % service charge. Buffet service charge for what To self-serve my food? Absolutely ridiculous. Avoid this like a plague

FAQs

Yes, Mantra's elegant dining style, low-lighting ambience and attentive service make it a lovely choice for a special evening.

Mantra Restaurant is owned by Deepak, guests specifically name and praise him for the restaurant's service and hospitality.

Sunday is a standout, the weekend buffet (served Friday–Sunday) draws many guests, and reviewers specifically praise the Sunday lunch buffet experience.

For the weekend buffet specifically, portions and variety are generous, guests note a solid selection (about 13 items) and praise the buffet as satisfying.

Expect Mantra to draw crowds for its weekend buffet (Friday–Sunday) and to get busier as evenings fill up; early Sunday lunch can feel relatively relaxed with plenty of open tables.

Mantra blends a relaxed lounge and vibey bar with a quieter, upscale dining room, low‑lighting and thoughtful décor make for a welcoming, elegant space, and the dining area is bright, open, and well kept.

Smart casual is the guide, aim for polished but relaxed attire that fits the restaurant’s elegant dining room and lounge.

Yes, families are welcome: the weekend buffet includes kid pricing (kids 5 and under are noted as eating free), and guests also recall staff being friendly and attentive with children.

For the weekend buffet, plan for Sunday lunch, Mantra runs lunch daily (11:30 am–3:00 pm) and the Fri–Sun buffet is a popular draw; if you’re dining à la carte, arriving earlier in the evening is wise since tables tend to fill as the night progresses.
