Mantra Indian Bistro

BEST INDIAN FOOD IN SOUTHERN WISCONSIN!

Worth the trip from Milwaukee, better than Maharaja, India Cafe, and Bollywood Grill.

1- the prices are great.
2- the quality of the food is second to none. No questionable meat covered in sauce.

Highly recommend the Butter Chicken, it’s tandoori baked first which you can taste even though it’s covered in a delicious creamy sauce. The Samosas were incredible, perfectly fried and then seasoned on the outside as well, made them feel lighter.

The buffet is good! I’m not well versed in the names and such but I have visited several restaurants in the area and this is to date my fave.

And the staff are funny and friendly- very tolerant of my 2.5 year old’s antics.

Decent beer selection (“Indian beer” but I’m hesitant to say that- like “Fosters is Australian for beer”- you’ll need that fosters to nurse a fat lip if you quote that Down Under. But for arguments sake- they have decent Indian beer selection).

Very friendly staff. Love the lunch options, you get salad, soup, entree, flat bread and dessert for moderate price. Excellent flavors!

My girlfriend and I enjoy Indian food and when I lived in elsewhere, there was some acceptable options. However, recently we moved and found that our new place was near Mantra. We ate here once and it was love at first taste. The food is excellent. The people the run the place are kind, helpful and attentive. We now go here about once a week or so and we look forward to it. If you are in Oconomowoc or near by it is well worth eating dinner here. It is our favorite dinner place in the area and there are many other well regarded places for dinner or lunch, but Mantra beats them all.
