| - I am a huge pakistanian/indian foodie, so after reading the reviews, I decided to try this place for dinner. I was from Houston, TX, where there is an abudant of pakistanian/indian food around, so my reviews below may be very critical.
Pros
Very close
nice decor
Cons
food
-Mantra mixed appetizer which includes the samosa, onion bhaji, and chicken pakora
-----samosa: filled with lentils, I am used to the potatoes filling, so didn't like this one
-----onion bhaji: just taste like fried batter to me
-----chicken pakora: dipped in the tamarind chutney...what do you get? Sweet and sour chicken!!!! My piece of chicken fell out of the thick cold batter.
-Mantra Mixed Grill (They are tiny portion, like others have mentioned, but it's all good since it's the quality that I want to try out at this place)
-----Barah Kabob: the part that was super grilled was ok, but the middle part tasted kinda mushed in a way
-----Chicken tandori/chicken bazari: I don't know..I tried other pieces that are not chicken tikka, and it tasted kinda grainey, so I stuck to the chicken tikka
-----Chicken Tikka: this taste the most familiar. But...I have not seen such a small piece.
-----Masala chai tea: it kinda taste like the bigelow spiced chai tea that I could easily steep at home, office, anywhere.
Conclusion: I will drive the further distance to go to my favorite indian restaurant here in Vegas, Mint Indian Bistro.
