First time at Mantra Nepalese for lunch today. Every item and bite was fantastic! We started with a mango lassi-tine and vegetable momos. The heat and spice was perfect in the momos and the tiniest was so refreshing! Next up were Tandoori Mixed Grill, onion kulchi & Lamb Biryiani. All to die for. We will definitely make Mantra a regular stop. Nicely decorated, clean and excellent friendly service. read more

I actually like this place. Unexpected. Shriys was my waiter. Super nice. The momos - their version of the dumplings, were delicious. 1st time trying them. The chicken tikka was competent and the sauce was really, really good. The chicken presentation could have been better, but that is just for optics. The flavor was there. The restaurant looks very clean and it's very well set up. Check the pic.. I saw someone wiping the chairs after patrons used them. You don't see that all the time. I'm no expert in food of these regions. Much less food from Nepal. All I know is that I enjoyed the food. I was full and I wanted to keep eating :-) You should try them. They are worth a visit. And they are trying hard to do well hence my 5 stars read more

Simply put, the food is fantastic. Momos, Thali, Nepali-style chow mein -- delicious. Our server, Shreya, was lovely. We're on a 16 hour road trip from NY to Wisconsin and will be making sure to hit Mantra on the way back. It's just as good as the best in NYC. read more

Great food!! Full bar! Give it a try! The biryani as it normally comes has the perfect spice level in my opinion but you can always ask for more on most dishes. Wide variety of delicious dishes available with vegan and vegetarian options galore! This gem of a restaurant is hiding in plain sight, offers lunch and dinner, and we are definitely adding it to our favorite local spots! read more

Mantra Nepalese - Lassitini - Indian Near Me - Youngstown, Ohio

My wife and I were traveling last December to New York, and wanted lunch. We randomly chose an Indian restaurant on the way. We enjoyed our food so much that we planned to return to Mantra on our return trip. Alas, we were coming back through on a Monday, when they are closed, so we went to another Indian place down the road a mile or so. That place was good, but Mantra was better. So, today I was returning home from Maryland, and made a point to take a 20 minute detour to order a bunch of meals to take home to where we live in rural Michigan, because we haven't found Indian food as good where we live. We're just going to freeze some of the entrees, and eat them over the coming months. My adult daughter (who also loves Indian food) added eight more items to my order, which I will drop off at her place on my way home. I planned my departure from my hotel this morning in Pennsylvania to arrive when they opened. The service was / is excellent. The meal I just ate while waiting for the big batch of orders I placed was as good as I remember last time. Sashi took my somewhat complicated order, and the meal arrived promptly. They weren't busy when I got there; I suspect they are busier most of the time. The decor is nice, and everything is clean. I highly recommend Mantra if you're traveling through the area, or if you live nearby. The food is excellent! read more

This very clean and welcoming restaurant is exceedingly unique with the offerings on its extensive menu. The Nepalese selections are not to be missed. The Panipuri are definitely worth trying! My exceptionally helpful server, Shriya, was patient in teaching me how to actually eat these remarkable spheres! I also tried the steamed chicken Momos. There are several different types of Momos to choose from. If you like a sweet treat to end your meal, try the Coconut Kheer! As for beverages, I opted for the mango lassi which hit the spot! The prices are competitive. Everything tasted flavorful and was freshly prepared. The staff are very very hospitable and Shriya checked often to see I was enjoying my choices and if I needed anything. There is a handicap ramp which is handy since there are two steps to get to the front door. read more

Definitely recommend this restaurant to all. It is right off highway 80 and the food is fantastic. We are vegetarian and the restaurant has amazing options for vegetarian food. We ordered steamed momos, Veg Chow Mein, Paneer Sizzler, Fries, Aaloo paratha, naan, Paneer Tikka Masala, Lassi, and Chai. It was all delicious food. Mantra's chef cooks all vegetarian food separate which is a plus for us. The staff is great and friendly. The restaurant is super clean. Great place to have lunch, dinner, or an afternoon snack with a cup of Chai! read more

I live in San Francisco, where there is a huge number of great restaurants. I visit Youngstown every year and always bring my family and friends to Mantra. Mantra is as good as anything you will find in San Francisco, and is easily one of the top 5 in Youngstown. You should definitely try the panipuri and the gobi manchurian (fried cauliflower). My favorite entrees are the lamb saag and the vegetable korma. Be sure to soak everything up with the garlic naans! read more

Im always weary of trying new restaurants but this did not disappoint. My husband and I will be eating here every week. The ambiance is great and the food is even better. Highly recommend. read more
