The mix of traditional Indian dishes and fusion options makes choosing a meal difficult because we want to try everything.

My husband loves the Afghani Chicken, and even my moderately picky teenager really enjoyed the Tandoori Pizza! The staff is consistently warm and friendly, and they've always done their best to accommodate special requests without nickel-and-diming us for every little thing. Rasoi has quickly become one of our favorite restaurants in Menifee, and we'll definitely keep coming back!

I ordered a lot so here's my opinion on everything I got: Chicken Momo - Basically like a chicken potsticker but lightly spiced with Indian spices and came with two sauces. One smokier and sweeter one and one mint cilantro one. This was my first time having Nepalese Momo and the sauces really elevate the Momo and it was an amazing bite! Paneer Tikka Masala - Delicious and pretty standard and meets my expectations, I do wish it was spicer (I ordered Medium and I love spice so this ate more like a Mild) Tandoori Chicken (Boneless) - The chicken was so soft and amazingly seasoned! The sautéed veggies on top were an amazing compliment to the chicken and wrapping it in Naan, along with all the different sauces was amazing. My favorite bite of the meal! Baigan Bharta - My first time trying this and the eggplant was so smokey and spiced, it was a very rich veggie dish even without cream, it was delicious with rice or with Naan! Raita - kinda like an Indian tzatziki, but with carrots and cucumbers instead, it complimented the smokey Chicken Tandoori I can't wait to try more things from here!

She explained each dish so well and answered all of our questions, which made it really easy to decide what to order. Everything came out fresh, hot, and beautifully prepared. We had such a great experience from the food to the service and will definitely be back to try more of the menu. Highly recommend!

Time to update my 10 year old review!…read more Even though my first review said the food was just okay, we return to Mantra over and over again, because food is pretty good. We had dinner here last night: yellow curry (which was actually quite red), a paneer dish, garlic naan and basmati rice. Everything was flavorful and delicious! We had another 20% Off coupon, making this a very reasonably priced meal. The inside is big with a lot of tables. It's not fancy, just casual. Service was good. Food came out super fast. At 6pm we were the only ones in the restaurant. Apparently they get very busy during their buffet that goes from 11am-2:40 pm daily for $15.99. I would like to return to try the buffet.

The food is delicious, looks great and tastes fantastic. Each dish has its unique flavor and is a joy to eat. The service is still simple with a counter where you order, but they spend time to tell you about the dish, answer questions and make suggestions. We just had a party for 30 guests that they prepared the entire meal for. Lamb biryani, tikki masala chicken, raita, naan, sauces for the pakora and more. Delicious. We had many first time Indian food eaters and they were all praise and came back for seconds and thirds. If you tried Hyderabad cafe early on and weren't impressed. Give them another shot. It's soooooo good.

I received the kindest welcome and delightful service and help from Nisha, who explained the dishes to me and recommended The Combo for my first visit. Such a great suggestion since I had never dined at an Indian Cuisine restaurant before. Each one of the servings in the combo was incredibly flavorful, delicious and very filling. I loved each and every one of them! I even had leftovers to bring home, which I am already looking forward to enjoying. The garlic naan bread is out of this world! Their Mango Lassi is indescribably delicious and Nisha informed me that the yogurt they use is made fresh in the restaurant. It tasted so clean and amazing. Definitely going to be hooked on that!!! The atmosphere was so nice and peaceful after a long busy and stressful week. Exactly what I needed. No loud music or noise that people had to talk over. Very, very nice and relaxing. Thank you for the atmosphere as well. Nisha also blessed me with a rice pudding to try and I can hardly wait to make it my evening snack. Thank you so much for making me feel so welcome on my first visit. I already feel like part of the family with the way Nisha made me feel so valued as more than just a customer......I left there honestly feeling like family. I'll be seeing you all soon and often! Blessings, Cynthia

Overview: Great deal, food, and service, perfect for a quick dine-in meal or ordering to-go…read more ---- We were driving back to San Diego from Mammoth and was craving Indian Food. We found this place online and decided to fuel our bellies here. Upon entering there are seats on both sides of the restaurant with the serving area and cashier in the middle. We decided to dine-in and they helped us with ordering. I ordered the Dinner Special Thali ($15.99) which comes with 2 entrees, daal, rice, naan, mango lassi, samosa or kheer. I was allowed to choose 3 entrees of my choice from the select options they had in their serving area (not from all the entrees they have on their menu). I like options and variety, so from their limited entrees I chose mushroom saag (spinach based), chicken tikka, and their paneer tikka. I'm glad I got to taste different options but I like the chicken the best. I also chose the kheer and got the mango lassi as my drink. My boyfriend ordered the butter chicken ($14.99), basmati rice ($3.99), and the cheese naan which we asked if they can add garlic and they kindly did ($4.99). Everything was delicious and came out in a timely manner. On the tv's they were playing Indian music and their music videos, which were entertaining to watch. ---- Overall: the price point and tasty food are reasons we'd be stopping by if we're ever in the area again or driving back to SD, definitely check this place out if you want some yummy Indian food in Riverside at a reasonable price!

Me personally, I'm not much of a curry type unless I really have the craving for it. And I tend to stick to my usual. It's right in the heart of the village and along the main strip. Sunday night when we arrived, it wasn't too busy with a few tables occupied. From the look of it outside, it didn't seem too big. But once you're inside, there's the main dining area and another one to the side which wasn't utilized. We didn't need reservations which we thought we would. Service was great as all the staffs were very friendly and accommodating. Menu wise, a mixture of everything. After a day of drinks, we didn't want to see any more alcohol...lol... I alway forget whenever I order an ice tea at any of these establishments, there's always cinnamon added. I like my tea plain with no sugar. So that was a bust but not nothing major. We started off with some samosas which were really nice. The sauces that accompanied them were tasty. Also an order of the chicken pakora. They were good but nothing major about them. Different from other places I've had them. Lastly the onion bhaji, a favorite and it was lovely. For mains, everything is à la carte so rice was additional item. As there was four of us, we ordered a mixture is everything to share. The lamb sagg, creamy spinach and had a nice flavor to it but a little skimpy on lamb. I would have preferred chunks instead. Then the paneer sagg which was nice. Between the lamb and panner, I would say paneer takes the lead. Both good but the lamb was a little too skimpy. Of course you have to have chicken tikka which is always a good option. They asked regarding spice level which we did want spicy but it came out more mild. I guess they didn't think we could handle the heat...lol... Lastly the lamb tandoori. That was a favorite and cooked perfectly. A nice grill to it and very juicy. As mentioned, everything is à la carte so rice was an additional item. And you can't leave out the garlic nann. Overall the food was quite tasty and much enjoyed. Spice level could have been a little spicier but it was fine. Better safe than sorry. The only downfall for me was the lamb sagg, but besides that we greatly enjoyed everything. Service was nice and all the staffs were amazing and very friendly. They have prime location on the strip.

Having been here multiple times in the last decade, our visit yesterday was a bit disappointing,…read moreand I can no longer give this spot 5 stars. For a restaurant in a touristy area, it still lands at a solid 3.5 to 4 stars, but the experience has definitely taken a step back. Cleanliness - there's a fly constantly going up and down the window we sat next to. It was getting a lot of my attention but alas I did not have a fly swatter. Lucky sob!!! Food - portion sizes felt smaller. While Indian dishes aren't typically huge, the presentation this time made them look a bit meager--it could be the dinnerware, the presentation? I don't know. Flavor-wise, something has changed for the worse. The Chicken Tikka Masala was decent, but lacked the rich depth and spice profile of our previous visits. The Fish Vindaloo suffered a similar fate. It wasn't bad, but it lacked that bold, signature Indian flavor. Also, using salmon felt like a misstep; its strong flavor tends to clash with vindaloo spices rather than absorb them. Side note, this dish was not at all spicy. And the server never asked us about the spiciness level of any of the dishes we ordered. Maybe they only offer non-spicy for all their dishes?? The same vindaloo dish at our favorite Indian restaurant in L.A. is very spicy and full of other favors. Service was just ok. The restaurant was quiet, with far more empty tables than occupied ones, yet the food took quite a while to come out. At one point, at least four servers were standing around the counter watching the dinning hall. Yet, other than delivering the food, no one came to any of the tables to check on them once the food had been delivered. Multiple times nearby tables waved their hands in the air to get attention after they got their food. We overheard one young man asking for hot sauce and chuckled - so someone else wanted their food spicier, too! Come here if you REALLY love touristy/Americanized Indian or want some vegetarian choices. Personally, I'll find dinner elsewhere next time in Big Bear.
