About this business
The food at Mantra is a sophisticated blend of French flavors and techniques, emboldened by subtle Indian "accents." The atmosphere at Mantra combines the stateliness of a large turn-of-the-century former bank building with the modernism of laser-cut steel mirrors, chainmail drapery, leather flooring, raw silk upholstery, and a 30' woven wood structure affectionately called The Hookah Den. It's a 10-person den with red suede banquettes for enjoying cocktails before dinner, or an Eastern waterpipe with fruit-flavored tobaccos... read more

Beautiful! I was very impressed by the decor of the restaurant! I never had french cuisine before - I was not blown away by the taste it. I have to say the service was good but not enough for me to want to come back.
amazing event venue – I recently had the pleasure of celebrating my daughter's bat mitzvah at Mantra Restaurant. It was a fabulous experience in every regard. The food was great, the price reasonable (w/no hidden fees or surprises at the end!), the setting both elegant and uber-hip, the staff extremely professional but no less warm and friendly. They went the extra mile when I forgot to bring Chanukah candles and a staff member rushed out to find a box. If I could add a 6th star to the rating I'd do it in a New York minute.
Good lunch special – I often head there for lunch with my co-workers. The food is very decent, if somewhat limited in selection. Service is good, although I've had to ask servers to restock some of the dishes on a number of occasions (they constantly run out of watermelon, for instance). The designer chairs look good, but tend to flip backwards (be careful, when getting up). Must visit the bathroom (and take a peek at the old bank vault nearby).
WOW - This was my first time at Mantra. After buying a dinner for 6 at a fundraiser, I was excited to use it. We arrived on Saturday evening with a group of 6 and were seated promptly although the restaurant was full (we did have a reservation). The walk to our table was amazing - The place is absolutely Stunning. Great decor and restaurant music. NOW the real WOW - THE FOOD. They offered their restaurant week menu as well as a sharing plate menu. We started off with about 8 sharing plates and one was better than the other. ... read more
Great new tapas menu – I recently enjoyed a wonderful experience at Mantra restaurant, in the theatre district. They just came out with a new sharing plates (tapas) menu and everything was delicious. My boyfriend and I went in thinking we would get a couple of entrees, but instead ordered 8 sharing plates and got to try a little of everything. The food was so flavorful and unique; it truly was a culinary experience. I had already heard of the contemporary decor that transforms the former 1800's bank, into a New York style cl... read more
Amazing tapas menu – My friend and I recently went out for dinner and drinks at Mantra restaurant. It was my first time there and I was impressed by the contemporary decor in the historic bank. We originally planned on dinner, but decided to try the new sharing menu. We chose the Chicken Tikka, Eggplant Mango Salsa, Lamb Chops and a few other items recommended by our server. Everything was amazing. Very vivid flavors and great presentation. I am also in love with the Tamarind Margarita. The cocktail list is full of original ... read more
Valentine's Day disappointment – After reading another review of Valentine's Day at Mantra, I wanted to share my similar experience. My husband and I were surprised that there was only a prix fix menu. After being sat, we waited a long time before a server came over - and he said "Anyone check on you yet? No, well someone has to take you, I guess I will." Boy, the Valentine love was certainly flowing. We ordered our meal and half way through we notice bread on other's tables (I guess there was sauce - but we never got this),... read more
Worst meal I have had in Boston especially for the price – This dining experience was a complete disapointment. I have been to many of Boston's great resaurants and this is not one of them. I brought my girlfriend to Mantra for Valentine's day. To start the valet sign was hidden on on the opposite side of the street from the resaurant making it difficult to find. The menu was a prix fixe so I was unable to taste their traditional dishes but for the price the meal should have been outstanding. The waitress circled our table (... read more
Not all together AND NOT WORTH IT! – I was looking for a difference place to take out my husband for his birthday. We live in Boston and know of many great spots with terrific food. I wanted to try something new and what a disappointment Mantra was. The decor didn?t really had a theme, as the orange/salmon curtains where in place to hide stuff and the floor was very poorly cared for. The walls had left over tape from past events and the atmosphere was not as pleasant as described on their site. We were sited and the table wo... read more
