The food was great!! I started taking pics of the appetizers but I got so lost in the food that i totally forgot about the the pics. I had a spicy curry that was amazing ...and spicy hot!! The Kashmiri naaan was an absolute treat! I wish I could remember the names of all the foods I had. The service was above and beyond!! Jovan(?) made us feel at home. It did not feel like "customer service", it felt like "family service". We will be back!

Amazing Indian food in Pembroke Pines! Authentic flavors, real ingredients, and outstanding service. We loved the lamb and lentils with fresh naan—so flavorful and perfectly paired with a Taj Mahal Black Label beer. Don’t miss the homemade pistachio ice cream, it’s the perfect finish. Definitely coming back!

From the moment we walked into Mantra Cafe, we were greeted with the kind of hospitality that instantly makes you feel at home. Nessi, our server, was truly exceptional—gracious, attentive, and so genuinely welcoming that it set the tone for the entire experience. You can tell she loves what she does and cares deeply about the people she’s serving. We ordered a few appetizers and desserts to share, and everything was delicious—especially the veggie samosas and aloo tiki, which were perfectly spiced and satisfying. The chocolate dosa was a fun and decadent surprise, and we ended our meal with classic Indian sweets: ras malai, gulab jamun, and a cozy cup of chai. Each bite was comforting, but it was Nessi’s warm energy and thoughtful service that really made this visit special. We’ll absolutely be coming back—good food is great, but service like this is unforgettable.

Mantra Fine Indian Cuisine is hands-down our favorite local spot for Indian food, and we go there often because it never disappoints. The staff is always so friendly and welcoming—they remember us, greet us warmly, and treat us like family every time. It’s the kind of place where you immediately feel at home. The food is incredible, with so many standouts on the menu. The butternut squash soup is one of my personal favorites: velvety, rich, and perfectly spiced. The lamb korma is another must-try, with tender lamb in a creamy, flavorful sauce that we can’t resist ordering almost every visit. My daughter absolutely loves their mango lassi—it’s always fresh, smooth, and just sweet enough, making it a perfect treat. Whether we’re dining in for a relaxed meal or grabbing carryout on a busy night, Mantra is always reliable. The dine-in experience is cozy and inviting, while the takeout is well-packaged and just as delicious at home. It’s clear they take pride in both their food and their service. If you’re looking for authentic, beautifully prepared Indian cuisine served by genuinely kind people, Mantra Fine Indian Cuisine is the best choice in town. Highly recommended!

Comfortable and intimate atmosphere. Wonderful personal and well-tailored service. Delicious food and a very kind host! I went here for my 30th birthday with my family and ordered the vindaloo. We also enjoyed various other dishes, which were all delicious. Be sure to order the pistachio ice cream it was amazing. We will come back! Thank you so much Mantra cuisine!

I love Indian food and love trying different places. I wanted takeout so, I went to Mantra on Saturday right when they opened. Was greeted very nicely by Xavier. He helped me thru the menu. I had a nice glass of Sauvignon blanc while i waited and Xavier sat me at a table and kept checking on me. I had the chicken Korma chefs special that had a bit more flavor as he said than the regular one. WOW. It was sooo good. The chicken was so tender and not dry at all as sometimes happens when its white meat. The sauce was some velvety deliciousness. OMG. I loved it. I got the onion naan bread and an order of Papadums that i love. I also got the mantra sampler appetizer so i could try a few different things. I really enjoyed their samosa and the pakora and the aloo tikki, the cornballs were good too but not my fav. I had enough for a few meals too. I cant wait to go back and try their Dal Makhani as that is a fav of mine too and theirs looks awesome.

Finally decided to give Indian cuisine a try after a failed attempt years ago. I opted for Mantra Fine Indian Restaurant located in Pembroke Pines. We ordered from the lunch special menu. Butter Chicken -tender boneless thigh cashew chicken in tomate gravy with side order of perfectly cooked Jasmine rice. I asked for very mild spice and they delivered perfectly. The portion was perfect too. Lunch included a bowl of pea soup which was rich in flavors. The butter nan was delicious, I could eat the whole basket. Service was fast greatly appreciate that as we were on a time crunch. Restaurant has a casual vibe yet very elegant with beautiful hanging mosaic glass lamps. Certainly a great spot and will definitely come back for another lunch. Very satisfied.

The employees are very kind! We were seated right away on a Saturday night. It was fairly busy, but we were so glad to see a mixture of cultures inside an Indian restaurant. Our server was very helpful in helping us pick some dishes. He knows the food very well. Was craving butter chicken and we tried a lamb A. Forgot the whole name but none was spicy to me, but it may be spicy to others. Everything is flavorful and had no issues with the dishes at all. Actually want to come back and try more. The entrees do come with basmati rice but we ordered some garlic naan too and it was delicious. Overall great place, great staff and great food!

My boss took me here for lunch as he lives in the area and knows that I love food adventures. Indian is one of my favorite genres of food as I love the complexity of flavor found in the food. As we walked in, we were promptly greeted. The gentleman who helped us constantly came around to make sure that we didn't have any needs and that everything was OK with the meal. I had the lunch butter chicken. It was a huge serving. The chicken flavor was delicious. The Samosa was really good. We ordered the garlic naan and it was so freaking yummy. I loved everything that I tried here and would definitely come back for more. One of my coworkers who came he had never had Indian and he really, really enjoyed himself.

Mantra Fine Indian Cuisine is hidden within a plaza on the corner of Pines Blvd and Dykes Rd at the Westfork Plaza. It is tucked away and a little hard to find because it's covered by a lot but worth a try, especially for lunch. My old favorite restaurant that I used to work at was in this spot before so I've been meaning to try it's replacement for years and happy I got to finally go to celebrate the end of Asian Pacific Islander Heritage Month. I went for lunch and it is definitely fine dining according to the prices because they are steep, even for lunch time. The exotic lunch menu includes a bowl of soup (more like a mini cup size but it was filling), a small portion of rice, and 1 butter naan. You can also upgrade the naan to garlic naan or tandoori roti for $2. The lunch menu is only on weekdays and for dine-in, if you choose to-go, it's a $1 extra. We got the butter chicken and the tandoori chicken and they were $17 & $16, respectively. I saw their lunch prices from before (around 4 years ago) and they were more reasonably priced but I know that everything is getting more expensive these days. Overall, I still think the food was really good. Again, very steep price but if I don't mind splurging for a lunch, I'd come back for this only. The mango lassi was also really good and I can see myself coming back to grab this to-go when I'm in the mood, especially for these hot summer days coming up! The inside is clean and pretty spacious and the service was attentive and nice. Overall, a good spot if you're craving Indian food in West Pines!

Fantastic food and even better service. Just tell them a little about what you like or don't like and ask the waiters for recommendations. They've really opened up my palate. My wild and I eat there once a months and absolutely love it.

I always get takeout from here and let me tell you. It never ever fails! The food comes together like chicken and curry. Its flavor bomb after flavor bomb and let me tell you I always come back from more. To this point I've tried quite a few items off their menu but it is so big that sometimes I can't decide upon stuff. Would definitely recommend for many to try!

Been to plenty Indian restaurants in South Florida and Mantra is by far... the best! Delicious food! One of the only places where I get something different almost every visit! And the service is amazing!

This is a 3.5 stars. Service was fast and friendly. I ordered their lunch special of a soup, a main (from the choices given) and a butter naan bread. I opted for their chicken tikka masala. The soup was pleasant, albeit a tiny portion. The rice portion was also very small and not enough to go with the masala. The chicken masala was pleasant, but I definitely have had better. The naan was nice, but very thin. The decor was pleasant.

Service was good, but food was terrible. I was sick with diarrhea within a couple of hours. I had the paneer tikka and the dal tadka and the butter luchha paratha. I'm not sure which of those got me sick. It's tragic, as I was hoping the restaurant would be good. I can never go here again.

There are few Indian restaurants that make my absolute top list and this is one of them. I have a friend who is not into Indian food and he said that we just have to try this place. It's located in a strip mall in Pembroke pines. We have come here like 5 or 6 times already and every time they do not disappoint. My go-to is a chicken tikka masala, I also like their butter chicken and their pistachio ice cream cannot be beat. It is something that they churn over two plus hours and it is just amazing, these words cannot do it justice as you have got to try it for yourself. All the flavors are freshly made in house and you can taste all the herbs and spices that are blended into it fresh. My husband is tried a variety of dishes from traditional to exotic and spicy and he's loved them all as well. This is quality Indian cooking. Can't wait to come back.

Some of the BEST Indian food I've had in a long time! Everything from the apps to dessert were sooo yummy!! This cozy, authentic Indian spot you would expect to pay a lot more for food of this quality Loved the trio of sauces/chutney complimenting the spiced veg samosas! The tamarind sauce was the right amount sweetness to set off the savory samosas. Chicken Tikka Masala was heavenly! Hearty sauce, tender chicken, and spicy I love really spicy food, but I'm glad we ordered it MED spicy because that plenty for me! Their vanilla ice cream with an extra creamy whipped topping was the perfect sweet ending to a spiced meal. The service was top notch and the from app to dessert everything is worthy of visiting again!

This is a place I've come to before, but this was the first time we dined and quiet spot friendly staff we ordered a few things to eat. The price point is a little higher as we spent about $70 for two on lunch servings. Everything order was flavorful. We decided not to get any spice added this time and we had no complaints. There was no lack on the flavors. Garlic, naan, butter, chicken, dal makhani (lentils) and their battered cauliflower

I live in Palm Beach Gardens but since I was going to be down in that area, I figured I'd check it out. They were almost full last Saturday night. The gentleman who I assumed was the owner greeted me at the door and seated me. I ordered Samosa, chaat $11, lamb andhra $22, naan $4, and a mango lassi $6. The server was extremely helpful even though I know Indian food somewhat. I wanted it medium and he said he would suggest that I get it between mild and medium and he would bring me some house hot chili paste. The Samosa chaat was really good and almost every place that I order it is served in a different way. I've never seen xacuti or andhra offered in any Indian restaurant that I know of so I wanted to try something different. I'm a vindaloo lover but the lamb andhra was excellent. The quality of the lamb was very good and probably some of the best I've had in Florida. As a matter of fact, this entire meal was probably the best Indian food I've had in my 14 years here. The heat level suggestion was perfect because I didn't need any more heat, although I did try a little bit of the paste on it. It's my new favorite. The naan bread was really good along with the mango lassi. I ordered pistachio kulfi $6 even though I was completely full and only ate about half of my food that I ordered, I wanted to try it anyway. It is very creamy and I've never had pistachio ice cream before. I wish I could've had the willpower to wait before it softened a little bit but I couldn't. Even though I'm an hour away from this place, it might be my new favorite Indian restaurant. The service in the restaurant was excellent and every table was taken care of very well especially the table of about 15 people. The waiter was extremely helpful and even gave me tips on reheating it which I really didn't need but he offered anyway and I thought that was nice.

I've been to this establishment twice for lunch. They have a great lunch menu. I ordered the Tikka Masala and upgraded to the garlic naan bread. Everything was delicious.

Fantastic as always! Today, I couldn't resist and I ended up ordering the Samosa Chatt again (that good), followed up with my ultimate indian favorite Chicken Tikka Masala and Garlic naan. However, I made sure to leave room for dessert this time. I wanted to try something new, and as expected the team guided me through the decision.I tried the ras malai 5/5. It was sweet yet not overwhelming. It's soft, but yet carried the right amount of texture to interest your taste buds. Perfect for picky eaters! The service was excellent as experience the first time. This time also carried its own magic, as I saw how they treated every single table and customer with such delight and personal touch. Seriously, this restaurant has the best service I've seen in all the south Florida.

One of the best Indian restaurants anywhere, Mantra offers homemade authentic Indian cuisine, like their lamb vindaloo, butter chicken, tiki masala, and much more, including an awesome pistachio ice cream (Kulfi). If you are unfamiliar with Indian food or the level of heat and spiciness, your wait staff takes the time to walk you through the menu and gauge your heat preference. Mantra does not disappoint.

I've always wondered what Indian food would taste like but always hesitated for unknown reasons. I finally decided to try our local Indian restaurant and it did not disappoint. The customer service by the weight staff is very good as he is very friendly and informative. We have loved every recommendation that he has given us. My absolute favorite is D chicken korma how special. It is a perfect blend of savory with some sweetness in the coconut milk and nutty flavor. My husband loves the butter chicken yet he always steals bites of my Korma sauce using the garlic naan-bread. The ambience is great and it is always clean. This is one of our regular local favorites place to visit..

It's hard to find anything resembling authentic Indian Food because real Indian food is very spicy, and a lot of Americans don't seem to be able to handle a great deal of spice. I understand, but I personally love spicy food. I looked around for Indian places but a lot of their menus have a lot of beef dishes which I don't feel a real Indian place would offer. So going by that [probably flawed] logic, I looked for an Indian place with no beef dishes on their menu in the area and found Mantra. The restaurant is in a shopping plaza and is kind of in a corner, the nameplate is unfortunately kind of hidden by this overhang the plaza decided to put over some outdoor seating in this corner. But from a distance you can see the name. The restaurant itself is kind of small but well decorated and feels cozy. In terms of the service, the staff there is very nice, but our service was a little on the slow side. I think they might be a little short-staffed so I understand, it's not like I saw staff standing around doing nothing while patrons waited or anything like that. They were all very polite and accommodating. The food can be ordered in mild, medium, or spicy. I asked them to do like a medium+ and the food was plenty spicy, even for me. So that's definitely a good sign that they should cater to real Indian people as well since they looooove spicy food even more than I do. The only issue I had with the food was that I ordered my dish with no cilantro, because to me the taste of cilantro is a bit overpowering and I really dislike it, but I guess the cooks couldn't help themselves but make my dish look "gourmet" so they had to do the obligatory "sprinkle green stuff over the food" as the last step in any recipe. I honestly don't understand it myself, but apparently I'm in the minority. They did offer to take it back and remake it, so I'm not going to knock them on their mistake, but I don't like wasting food, especially in a small restaurant that might be a mom and pop. So I spent the time picking out all of the cilantro, haha. But overall, if you're a fan of Indian food and a fan of spicy food, this place is definitely a good place to try.

Hidden gem in the Pines area. Great good and great friendly service. The mango curry chicken was my favorite along with the garlic breads. I recommend giving this place a try if you are in the mood for some good Indian food.

We have been coming here for a couple years now and have NEVER been disappointed. The service has always been welcoming, warm, and a delight. The servers take the time to explain their menu and make amazing recommendations to the point where I come to be surprised and you can't leave without trying their garlic naan!!

Food was tasteful and the spice was on point , however the amount of protein in the servings of Lamb Tika Masala and butter chicken was quite low especially for the price point , it was mostly sauce and not much meat. the naan was also fairly thin and seemed short handed. The pricing for the food is very high for the amount you'll get. they also charged $4 for a lemonade and another 4 for a refill. You can get a better bank for your buck somewhere else ..

We haven't had Indian food in a while so we were really excited to come to try out this spot. We were greeted as soon as we walked in and seated right away. Our waiter gave us great recommendations and was very attentive the whole time we were there. We ordered the soups to start with. I proffered the butternut squash soup over the lentil soup since it was more creamy and a little sweet. My favorite dish was the Samosa chaat, it had so many delicious flavors mixed into once dish. The paneer was also great. We ended dinner with Indian tea which was very tasty and was a sweet ending. It was a very relaxing location and seemed very intimate as well. We will definitely be coming back!

Loved this place. Ambience was great. Food superb. Maybe the best Samosa and Garlic Naan I have ever had. I had chicken tikka masala it was on point. I got medium plus spicy and it was very hot. I think I will go medium next time. My husband had Chicken Andhra ( first time ever) after a suggestion from the waiter. He normally goes for vindaloo and he said it was just as good or maybe better. Everything about this place was on point. We will be back soon. Loved it.

A++ Let me start with the stellar friendly service. Excellent recommendations, attentive, and charismatic. The food was incredible. Tons of flavor. The appetizer sampler was perfect because we really couldnt decide on one. All of the food had a perfect spice level (we like it hot and it did not disappoint). Located by the movie theater, this might be my new date night dinner and a movie spot. Looks like they have pretty awesome lunch specials too on weekdays

I enjoyed the food. It was a few weeks ago and I don't remember what but it was good. I initially thought the place was expensive but I have since eaten at places on either side of them, spent as much and not enjoyed the food as much. We had takeout our interaction with the staff was pleasant and relaxed The look of the place was much classier than the places around them. It has the air of the kind of place you want to be seen in.

Delicious! You should definitely try this restaurant! Aside from the food, the service was wonderful. It felt like we were treated as family. We started with a rich and creamy butternut squash soup and the keema kulcha which was so delicious we added a second order. The main meals were deeply flavored and the garlic naan was great as well. Finally, I highly recommend the carrot halwa! Its a sweet carrot puree topped with vanilla ice cream. I personally love hot&cold combos, and this reminded me of having a brownie a la mode.

Our second take away meal from here. Once you hear the receptionist take your order over the phone, you know they're going to get it RIGHT. And they do. Typically kind and attentive staff greet you, which is part of the appeal of Indian, Pakistani, or Bangladeshi dining. Palak paneer was delicious, though they used tofu instead of paneer cheese. Greatly enjoyed the bright red Tandoori chicken and lamb biryani, with the seasoning ample enough to be authentic, but not so thickly laid on you taste nothing else. Ask if you want more than a "safe" dose of spiciness, since they anticipate the needs of a Floridian clientele. So why only four stars? The price is a bit high. I always feel this way outside of India, where it's almost always rebranded as a luxury. This is the cuisine of one of the world's poorest populations, after all! No worse than mid-priced restaurants in the area, though, and the service and food combine for a winner you'll be back to repeatedly.

Hidden spot in the corner of the plaza but worth checking out. It's beautifully decorated with Indian art work & mosaic glass lamps. Always friendly staff and good prices. I usually get the samosa chat or pindi chole lunch special. Their food is very good and is now a regular in my lunch rotation

So I am very upset, because I come to this mall quite often and I did not know that this restaurant was here! Outstanding it is a mixture of North and South Indian cuisine, food pops with an explosive saturation of flavors Hospitality is very friendly , I literally have nothing negative except no one told me about this and for some reason it did not pop-up on a Indian cuisine search. Please come and try them out if you like Indian cuisine. I may give them a 5star later, but I like to visit several times before confirming 5 star rating Fish Moilee was the top And lamb Briyani was so tender you thought it was a dating app

I will definitely be dining here again. I was finally able to convince a few first timers to try Indian food here and they loved it. Service is great... super helpful and attentive. Everything we ordered was delicious. We shared the Veggie Samosas, and there was also a Lamb Rogan Josh (both not pictured). We ordered everything to share... Butter Chicken, Fish Tikka Masala, Chicken Tikka Masala, Tandoori Chicken, Onion and Garlic Naan, Gulab Jamun and Ras Malai.

So good! This place was a little smaller than an I initially thought. It's slightly tucked away in a strip mall near the Vicky Bakery. When you step in, it's got a more adult mood vibe. Service- we had a newer server. She was super friendly and polite. And they also had great support for her. The teamwork was awesome and the more seasoned staff was excellent with explaining the menu items- so good for newbies wanting to try Indian cuisine! Food- OMG! So good! We got an order of Samosas which are the Indian version of empanadas. These were stuffed with potatoes and peas. Don't let the ingredients fool you, these are packed with flavor! And they came with 3 condiments to try on them- traditional raita which is a cool yogurt mint sauce to balance the spice , a tamarind sauce which is sweet and sour and again nice balance with spice heat, and then a pickled red onion which is kind of sweet vinegar to work with the spice level. All 3 condiments worked harmoniously. My favorite ended up being the pickled red onion if I were forced to choose. But all 3 work great!! My aunt got the butter chicken. It looked yummy but I was unable to try because the sauce is made with cashews and I have an allergy to cashews. I got the Goan chicken which was divine! It was a brown/saucy stew with chicken. One of the employees mentioned the Butter Chicken was known to be a more "restaurant" type of food whereas the Goan Chicken was more of the "food made at home". I thought that was an excellent explanation of these dishes. Both came with signature basmati rice. In both cases, a hugely wonderful thing was you can Taylor your heat level!!! Those who are shy of trying Indian because of the spice level fear, be not afraid here! They got you covered and will customize the heat level for your preference. One last thing ordered garlic naan---- whatever you get there, do yourself a favor and get some naan! It's such a great compliment to what you're eating. Naan, if someone does not know, is an Indian flat bread. Ours was topped with butter garlic They got desserts too- they have homemade ice cream. We ordered a pistachio flavored one. It looked very creamy. My aunt said it was delicious! I was unable to try- allergies. I wanted to get the carrot honey dessert Haiwa I think it was called? But it had almonds so I passed. They also have these Indian doughnuts (golab is maybe the name?). They're soaked in a syrup. This dessert is a good newbie dessert that's slightly different. That or the ice cream. This place also offers beers, wines, and soft drinks and yogurt lassi's (smoothies). Yes, you need to go experience this place! Yes I'm heading back soon!

We were hungry for Indian food and didn't want to drive east to Fort Lauderdale or south to Miami and came across this yelp review of Mantra. We ordered samosas for appetizers, chicken lamb and fish curry's, and dessert. We were not disappointed and definitely will be back! Ordering on the website was easy and when we walked into pick it up we were greeted with a warm smile and very nice staff and our food was ready packaged perfectly. Both the butter naan and onion naan are fabulous. This is a hidden gem in the shopping center that is near Costco you will not be disappointed!

The food here is great and the service was very accomplishing. I do not like spicy food and they made our lamb meal with all the taste of a beautiful Indian meal without all the heat. If ur like me you will still want to order the Ryta this will help with any heat from any of the dishes. As this to ur restaurant bucket list for 2024!

Really enjoyed my time here! All the food was so so good and fresh, it makes me want to come back and try the whole menu. The food also came out very quickly which is a big plus for me. The restaurant is on the smaller side but is very clean. They offer booth seating which I appreciate. The star of the show was our server (whose name I can't remember). He was really helpful and gave us the best suggestions based on our preferences. My boyfriend had previously been here once before and the server actually remembered him. He also knew exactly what he ordered which was really impressive. He also spoke Spanish! We were so shocked and thought it was the most interesting thing. We had a fun night with good food here. I can't wait to come back to try more things on the menu :)

Staff thinks they are very smart and customer don't know anything about Indian food. They need to understand customer feedback and work on it.

I wanted so much to like this place but it really felt short of my expectations. Firstly, I do want to say that the ambiance is nice, the restaurant itself is clean, Covid guidelines are being followed and staff was courteous. The food though, that was my challenge, I did like my mango juice. We ordered the samosas, they were good, but not the best that I've had. For entrees, we had tandoori chicken- it lacked flavor, it had way too many onion and vegetables on the skillet and it tasted somewhat burnt. I love tandoori chicken, it is one of my favorite dishes, but this was the biggest let down of the night. We also tried the chicken biriyani - this was quite the opposite, the seasoning was overwhelming on this dish. The chicken tikka was again filled with more onions and peppers than meat. It was disappointing. The naan was okay, but very flat from what I am normally used to getting. Again, I waited to dine here because I was excited for a new Indian restaurant to be in my neighborhood, but based on this experience I don't think that I'll return, there are much better Indian restaurants out there with authentic flavors.

Food was delivered. Portions were small compared to the price. Garlic naan was horrible. I love Indian food but honestly, I can get better from the frozen section at Publix.
