Ok, we went for my in-laws birthday. She enjoyed her time over all since we could all be together. But let's start with the good. Our server was present and the store was clean. That's all I can say. That's why they have a second star. So there were 6 of us and first off we went for lunch. Not a soul was there... that should have told me something right off the bat. We were sat in a very uncomfortable table with the middle two people in the middle of two tables.... Not a soul was there but of all tables we were sat there. No idea why. We all ordered an entree and shared for the table. We ordered naan and garlic naan. The naan came out thin and crispy, almost like pita chips. A few were ok but most were pita chips. Photo below. The entrees we had are in the photos, we also had chicken tandoori which they told us would take about 25 minutes, it took about 40 minutes. Of all the foods that were the "ok" were the tandoori and the paneer. I would never tell anyone to go here. There are plenty of other restaurants in the area to get Indian food.
Tried out Masala Mantra, a fairly new Indian fusion spot in West Palm Beach, and had a great experience! I ordered the Gobi Manchurian with Garlic Naan, and while the flavors were solid, the Gobi had a bit too much batter, making it less crispy than I would have liked. The spice level was medium, which was fine, but as someone who enjoys a little extra heat, I might kick it up a notch next time. The Garlic Naan was fresh and flavorful, a perfect complement to the meal. Service was smooth, since the restaurant wasn't too busy, I got seated quickly, and the food came out fast. Overall, a great experience, and I'm looking forward to coming back to explore more of their authentic and fusion-inspired dishes. Definitely worth a visit if you're a fan of Indian flavors!
Came to Masala Mantra as a recommendation from a friend. I love Indian food and have my regular spots, but was told that this place has butter chicken to die for, so that's what I got! Unfortunately I got my order to-go, so I can't really comment on the service, but the ambiance seemed very nice when I walked in. I ordered the butter chicken and the cheesy garlic naan. It is definitely the most expensive Indian I've ever had. The butter chicken is $24 and the naan was $9...but I've gotta say, it was worth the price point. Despite my 45-minite drive home after picking up my order, it was still warm and fresh, I was pleasantly surprised, so I can only imagine how much better it would be when sitting inside. The butter chicken is creamy, big chunks of good quality chicken and a good portion. The naan could've used a bit more garlic, but was very soft and cheesy. Will absolutely be back to try some of their other menu items!
We went to meet friends here for dinner. We recognized the location as a former bistro bar that we used to frequent many years ago. There's easy parking in the lot out front. And inside, it's been re-decorated and re modeled with an upscale vibe. The menu is large with a lot of options. If you have had Indian food before, there are many of the familiar dishes here but also a few with names I hadn't ever seen. My vegetarian girlfriend was happy that there were a number of options from which to choose. When we visited on a Saturday evening, we'd made reservations. Early on, they weren't that busy, but half the tables were full when we left. We skipped the appetizers and went right to the main dishes. Our friends chose a lamb dum biryani which is mainly rice with bits of lamb and veggies. I think of biryani as an Indian version of paella. She had the dum aloo dish which featured potatoes in a slightly spicy sauce. I had their chapli kabab which was three patties of grilled and spiced tandoori ground lamb. It was served dry which the server made sure to tell me about in advance. My husband had the lamb khadale which was pieces of lamb in a curry sauce with nutmeg. His "medium" spice level was a bit too much, but he still liked his meal. We both ordered sides of bread. We had their butter naan, and they had an order of roti. Our friends also had dessert. They shared a traditional Indian ice cream dish called kulfi. It had an "ice pop" which was the kulfi and a scoop of other ice cream on the plate. Service was very good. She was helpful in explaining some of the dishes and helped my friends make a choice of their entrees. The water glasses were refilled frequently. And yes, even though they are a tad expensive, we'd return again.
Walking in the place it gives a nice laid back but chic feeling. They have a nice selection of drinks. I had the Chicken Kadai. The tender chicken sits in a nice creamy tomato sauce. At first bit you can sense a little sweetness but then the spice kicks in afterwards creating a pleasant combination.
Previously known as Oak, this space has completely transformed into a sophisticated, upscale restaurant that delivers exquisite Indian cuisine. I was captivated by the savory food that burst with various spices and tantalized the senses. When you enter through the heavy glass-pained front door, you are greeted with dark gray walls, post-modern white neon lighting from the ceiling. There is a speak up-shaped bar with bright wall lighting illuminating the glass top liquor shelving. The dining area comprises tables seating that has cushy black leather booths and silver pillows around the perimeter and standard table and chair seating in the middle. The cocktails were very good, especially the saffron-infused gin-based golden martini that I could drink a few in one sitting. The Laung Delight was also a lovely drink made with clove-infused tequila. Both the stuffed mushrooms and the Achari chicken wings were savory and delicious, with a nice spice and heat for the former that I felt was magical. Although, my friends who order the former didn't realize it would be a touch spicier than they anticipated as they don't do spicy that much. But I really loved it. The chicken wings were good to where they didn't need any sauce that we received for dipping. The lamb khadale was my absolute favorite dish of what was ordered. The coconut-based curry dish was super amazing. I also enjoyed the chicken tikka masala and the butter chicken, which the sauces I I loved dipping with my chili garlic naan bread that was also fabulous. The paneer lababdar was surprisingly good and filling between the cottage cheese, garam masala, and fenugreek. For a finisher, I enjoyed the chocolate samosa that was bursting with melted chocolate goodness. The service was great between the primary server and other associates working the dining area to make sure finished plates were cleared and glasses of water were filled. They definitely made sure we had what we need and promised to my friends not to make the stuffed mushrooms spicy next time. Wasn't an issue with me as I savored that dish with glee. We are returning to enjoy happy hour from 5 pm to 7 pm where drinks are half off and try more of their Indian cuisine as it's magical.
This place is such a delicious choice for your Indian food fix. You will not be disappointed. I don't think as many people, who should, know about this hidden gem. Some of the best food I've ever had. You MUST like some spicy and spice. Otherwise, this place will not be for you. But for us... we will come back again and again. If you get the dishes we got, you will love them. But it's only our first visit but we plan to try some more and can't wait to do so. We got the Basket Chaat (a must try) Lamb Khadale, Mantra Special Chicken Curry and Garlic Naan. I loooove spicy but mild was more than enough spicy to get the full flavor of the dish. Medium is going to be super spicy. Trust me! But please go. Enjoy! 5 stars for us for food.
Remarkably well renovated restaurant. Modern and contemporary. I was immediately reminded of Dame Helen Mirren's movie ' 100 foot journey'. The food is very appropriately spiced- not killer spice as in the majority of Indian restaurants Ive experienced worldwide. This restaurant is well run with very experienced servers and a good and large cocktail menu. All male servers today but on previous visits the female staff are equally good. Too bad I ate too much of the appetizer so I could not finish my main dish. Their servings are designed to share family style. Outdoor seating for the season and winter should be great. I am so glad that Josee and I came tonite to this delightful restaurant tonight. It got crowded but 7 pm. Nicely tucked away in the far end of the Southern Palms ( Costco plaza) with very accessible parking.
Saw this place and wanted to check it out because I love Indian food. There are many choices in the area already. The place is nicely decorated inside and offers an intimate upscale feel. They do have music playing. The menu offers meat and vegetarian options. There is a bar area with seating. There were several patrons coming in. We had the mantra special chicken curry and the Sag Paneer. It comes with basmati rice. We did not opt for naan or dessert. Both dishes were good and spicy. Prices were a bit higher than similar places in the area but they have the best ambiance! Nice place for a date. Service was very good.

Overall horrible experience at Masala Mantra. This restaurant was the choice for Saturday lunch. It's a newly opened South Indian restaurant in Royal Palm Beach. We were a party of 8 and were able to be seated without a reservation. It took 20 mins for a server to come to our table for drinks orders. Everyone ordered sodas and a mango lassi which took another 15 mins to be served. Already annoyed, we went ahead and placed our food orders. Instead of garlic naan, we were served reheated, hard as a rock plain naan, burnt lamb chops and butter chicken that smelt spoiled. Safe to say, we called it quits at this point and left. Looking around, we noticed the staff was minimal. At most there were 2 servers on the floor. Such a disappointing experience. read more

I really liked this place. Plenty of parking spaces and easy to drive into this strip mall. The owner was there and you can always tell who owns or runs the establishment. Inside the music is trendy with a mix of Indian beats and American hits. The food tasted great with prices slightly higher than other Indian places in the area. This place has been open for about a month so Happy Hour will soon be showing up and so will I. read more
Great new place. Clean. New. Upscale. I'm peasant attentive servers. Food was definitely above and beyond your average Indian place. Maybe slightly pricier than most but generous portions compared to some. Worth trying for sure. read more

It's a beautiful restaurant...the menu was different with some Asian/Indian dishes we were excited to try. Service was great but we were the only ones in the restaurant. Basket Chaat: 10/10 This is a must ... dish is similar to samosa but so much more flavor! Chicken tikka masala: 6/10 They use white meat which tastes dry and tough even w all the sauce. A touch too much tomato which overpowered the flavors. Gobi Manchurian: 3/10 Soggy pieces with heavily salted sauce read more

My dad and I love to try all the Indian cuisine spots around PBC, and WOW! This is a hidden gem. The food was incredible as was the service. We ordered the Basket Chaat, Acari Chicken Wings, Dosa, and Hariyali Fish as an appetizer all came out extremely fresh & had a lot of bold Indian flavors. For our entree's we ordered the Chicken Hakka Noodles, Chicken Tikka Masala, Briyani and the Mantra Special Curry. All of these were delicious! We shared all of our entree's and enjoyed them all very much. Those complaining about prices must not understand that delicious food comes at a cost. The prices are reasonable especially for an upscale Indian cuisine dining experience. I've paid a lot of money for various Indian dishes and not many have exceeded my expectations like it did here. The ambiance was beautiful with dimmed lights & contemporary accents. I have only been here once, but truly hope they maintain their food quality and exceptional service moving forward as I will be back for many more! read more

Greetings to everyone who stumbles upon this. Normally I don't leave negative reviews but anyone eating here should know this. One word: ROACHES. I'll let the pictures attached speak for themselves. Very unfortunate, and a disgrace to indian food (as an indian myself). $60 worth of food thrown out. No accountability just a "sorry" with of course a refund. I was so lucky that I noticed it right away before biting into any of the food. Never coming back. Absolutely repulsive. read more

First time I was there I enjoyed the atmosphere. There was a cool vibe. We came into a pretty empty restaurant and was excited for a new restaurant in the area . We tried a couple of items on the menu and the food is actually pretty good. We will definitely be back to give them another chance but will stick with water or a beer or something. They do not have to make themselves.. Came in for the second time this evening, and stopped in for a nightcap with my mom and my husband . I was very happy that they were open and I ordered an espresso martini. They came out with a cup of coffee and poured it into a jigger into a shaker of ice. I wasn't paying attention after this, but when I took a sip of my drink. You could tell that there was so much simple syrup and Kahlúa That I felt like I went into a diabetic shock. When I had mentioned to the bartender that the drink was really sweet. He poured hot coffee into my martini glass . Very disappointing I ordered an espresso martini that they did not use espresso nor vodka. and Mom, husband and I left without finishing our drinks. What a waste of money. $50 in the trash. read more

Love this Indian bistro! Don't let the unassuming strip mall look fool you...this place has great service, chic decor, an interesting menu, and very tasty food! My husband loves the Hariyali Fish appetizer and we love the Dum Potato, Sag Paneer, and Vegetable Manchurian. We keep going back again and again. Our new favorite cafe. read more

Ambiance-10/10 Service- 10/10 Food - 5/10. We tried the tequila shot gol gappas, the stuffing was uninspired. We also tried Hakka noodles with shrimp - this was good! The sczehuan chicken (garlic version) was a strange concoction in sambal sauce that had nothing to do with Szechuan ! The Food needs to taste elevated because it wasn't cheap. read more
