We went on a Friday for buffet. We were so full to try all the items they have placed. We started with salad and then had fried paneer (which is little dry ), fried shrimp and cheese balls. Fried shrimp was so good with Chaat masala and they were addictive too. Cheese balls were also good. Tandoori chicken texture was perfect but it lacked spices. Achari chicken was awesome with all the flavors. Friend tried Pani Puri and she liked it. They asked us which naan we wanted(butter or plain) and brought them to our table freshly made. Mutton biryani was good, but I felt rice didn't cook enough (we eat the rice little soft). Lamb curry was good, but too thin gravy. Butter chicken also lacks some flavors. Didn't try butter chicken, chicken curry, chana masala, pumpkin curry( by looking at it, I thought it was opo), vegetable biryani and bagara baigan. Gajar ka Halwa was good with perfect sweet and pistachio and cashews. Gulab Jamun was too sweet. Rasamalai was awesome. The service was so good that whenever we leave the used plate, they quickly came removed it. They also served tea. After sometime they replaced fried paneer with Samosa.

It took a little longer to get set up apparently as we had arrived a little before 11:30 but they didn't open until 11:45 am
Service improved dramatically once we got seated and the staff started to get into the flow. They were clearly busy leading into the opening but it was well worth it as the food was excellent. The spice level was decent, given that they are trying to cater to a wide palate range, and the dishes were all cooked well.
The naan was fresh and excellent, but don't forget to ask for the dosa!!
Given the lack of good Indian buffets in the area, this restaurant is a solid choice!!response / report this review -

Sunday buffet Review :
Many options to choose from. I think non vegetarian food has more options than vegetarians. Ambience is okay(gets crowded).
Dosa counter is a nice addition to the menu (be sure to ask for less butter/oil if you are health conscious; the quantity being added is insane on the dosa )
In general 2 appetizers +1 chat for vegetarians
Main course has 2 varieties of rice (kinda plain and veg Biriyani types )
3-4 curry choices (Paneer Bhurji , mixed vegetables, dal, kofta) tasted good
Sweets : 3 choices , did not like carrot halwa , it was not cooked properly the other two options were amazing
You do get a choice of drink (Lassi/Tea/coffee etc) on weekends
Overall a decent placeresponse / report this review -

Mantra is my go-to Indian restaurant and I have been eating here from a few years now. Perfect place to celebrate birthdays and if you let them know, they make it speacial. Indian food here is way superior to tons of other Indian restaurants at El Camino. I would highly recommend trying this!!
