This charming and cozy restaurant serves up the most delicious and authentic North Indian and Punjabi dishes. The inside of the restaurant is thoughtfully decorated with colorful lamps and a Hindu inspired wall art. Upon entering the restaurant, we were warmly welcomed and ushered to our seats by Jovan, our waiter. All through our meal, he remained attentive and enthusiastic, joining in on conversations and making recommendations. He also dealt with the two little ones who were with us in such a kind manner. We ordered a few items on the menu such as butter chicken, karari bhindi, lamb and chicken vindaloo, shrimp tikka masala and aloo paratha. Everything was delicious with the perfect amount of heat (spice level). Desert consisted of kulfi, ras malai and of course my fav, the mango lassi. We left Mantra with lots of leftovers and happy tummies. Definitely worth checking out for all your favorite Indian cuisines!

Apparently this has been there for over a year but I've never heard or seen this place despite being in the plaza several times in the year. I was looking for something different or new. While searching Indian, this came up and the Himalayan aspect peaked my interest. Particularly the momo dumplings being something I've never seen before sold me on this spot. The space is small but spacious, clean and bright. The hostess/waitress was nice and helpful when I asked for recommendations. We ordered the HIMALAYAN THALI SET( FOR TWO) which came with an appetizer, 4 entrées, 2 desserts, naan of your choice and rice. We were told it would take a while to come out because it all comes out at once. We said it was fine and ordered some steamed chicken momo to hold us over till the food came. Our chili paneer app from our set came out and it was quite tasty with a good spice/flavor. Maybe 10ish minutes later our thali set came out. We went with our waitress rec for one veggie (aloo gobi), one chicken (karahi), one lamb (korma), and one seafood (shrimp tikki masala). It came with one bowl of rice for 4 bowls of food. We chose the garlic naan but they had many different more creative options to choose from. The naan was good but not great. The aloo gobi was tasty as was the shrimp tikki masala. The lamb korma sauce was delish but the lamb pieces were a little hit or miss with some tender but others a little harder or dry. Maybe another 10 minutes after our main dishes arrived, the steamed momo arrived. It was tasty and very layered with different flavors that I couldn't quite pinpoint. For dessert we got the kheer and mango kulfi which were unique. Without having a reference point for what a regular entree size is, it's kind of hard to say the cost value in the thali set for two, but if it's your first time and you want to try a a few things, it's probably worth it. I will be back to try the lunch specials next time.

The paneer was slightly salty but good. The tikka masala was too creamy for us. It seemed to have too much yogurt, which overpowered the usual tomatoey taste of the sauce. The korma was the standout dish. The restaurant was nicely decorated. And service was excellent. They lunch specials come with rice and naan, and I had to pay a $1extra for a tiny dish of tamarind chutney, but it was worth it.

(It was getting full when we left around 7:00, so keep that in mind.) The place is very nice inside and very clean. (Side note: My husband said the bathroom needed to be cleaned, but considering our overall experience, I'm not letting that affect my score.) Anyway, our server, Koli, was fantastic! He made recommendations, knew the dishes, made sure we always had everything we needed, and was a pleasure to deal with. And the food! We each had different things and I can truly say there wasn't a miss. We had chilly shrimp, samosas, samosas chaat, tandoori momos, tandoori biryani, shrimp vindaloo, goat, masala, bullet naan, and garlic naan. Add some Indian beers for the men and prosecco for the ladies and we were happy campers! I can't believe in the four years this place has been open, we never knew it existed. We know now and will definitely be back to try some more delicious dishes!

Next up were the mains which were a lamb curry and chicken korma with naan. Each was as delicious as the next. The lamb and chicken were both juicy and tender and the sauces were complex with layers of flavor. Sanja is a the perfect spot for great Indian in Hollywood.

It was also spacious with comfortable booth seating. We were served Papadam with red and green chutney. The Papadam was light and satisfyingly crunchy. For the appetizer, we shared the Chilli Chicken, which were crispy bite size pieces, mixed with bell peppers, tossed in a sweet chili sauce with a slight kick. The Chicken was cooked to perfection and well seasoned. I ordered the Lamb Biryani and Garlic Naan. The Naan was not garlicky enough for me, but the Biryani made up for it, consisting of fragrant Indian rice, plenty of spices, nuts and raisins, making for a truly flavorful dish. The Lamb was tender and deeply savory. Also got to try the Vegetable Korma, which was full of fresh and tasty vegetables. The Korma sauce was delightfully creamy and delicious. Service was wonderful. Our waiter was welcoming and knowledgeable about the menu. All the food came out in a timely manner and we had a lovely time dining here. I wish I had tried the Mango Lassi and Fish or Shrimp Goan Curry.

But this is Indian food as far as I am concerned. This restaurant has a weekend buffet with nice choices for under $20. All cooked fresh.

It has a clean and bright dining room that seats at least 50 with a few odd pieces for decor (umbrellas and a spinning disco ball). The restaurant is advertised as Indian, Bangladeshi, and Pakistani. But the cuisine is just what we wanted. There was no lunch menu. So we ordered from the regular offerings. I wanted goat kadhai curry but since there was none listed, I settled for chicken kadhai curry. My cousin-in-law ordered chicken tikka masala. You have a choice of either rice or naan with your meal. We both had rice and got a side order of naan. We ordered mild because of my past experience with the food here being very peppery. We probably could have gone up a level, but the mild was flavorful and had a decent amount of spiciness. Both meals were good and boasted tender and well-seasoned chicken. I thought the kadhai was a bit oily, but it was still tasty. We loved the naan, especially dipped in the tamarind chutney that I requested. During the two hours that we dined, we were the only ones in the restaurant, so service was quick and attentive. Our meal was about $22 each including tax and tip. I hope to go back and try a few other dishes.
