Yesterday, we visited a friend in Youngstown who recommended Mantra restaurant for lunch. Dining there was an unforgettable experience! The Nepali cuisine was authentic and delicious, with a variety of flavorful, beautifully prepared dishes. The warm atmosphere and friendly service made it even better. I highly recommend Mantra for anyone wanting to enjoy authentic Nepali and Indian food!

Best food in NE Ohio. Period! Exceptional flavor. Best service anywhere. Y'all, seriously, come try this. You wont be disappointed. If you've never have Indian/Nepalese food before, dont worry, they answer all your questions and will point you towards what you will like. You can pick your slice level too! So, if you dont like the heat, get mild. All the flavor without the heat.

First time visiting this restaurant! Overall, a great experience! If you’re looking for great Indian food in the area, this is the place! I ordered the chowmein and it was delicious! You have to get the garlic naan! At the end of our meal the waiter brought us dessert! Will definitely be coming back soon!

Got the curry chicken as a carryout. I must say the food was absolutely phenomenal. I've never had Indian food before and will definitely be a lifelong customer. It's a nice change from our typical dining experience. While waiting the owner spoke with me at left it is a superb individual. I also was fortunate enough to meet some of the kitchen staff everybody is happy and very very friendly. I highly recommend giving it a shot sure you will not be disappointed.
