    Indian Restaurant and Bar - Samosa sauces

    We saw the good reviews for this place that was within walking distance of our hotel (not an easy…read morewalk due to lack of sidewalks). We love Indian food and had not had it in awhile. No one was in the restaurant when we arrived for dinner so the service was prompt and friendly. We ordered a big bottle of Flying Horse beer. They served complimentary papadam with a selection of sauce and "sort of" a green salad which was unusual for most Indian restaurants we've been to. For our mains we ordered the chicken vindaloo and Channa masala. Both were very tasty and the right spiciness as ordered. We also got some naan and raita. Thumbs up for the food. The restaurant got a bit busier, maybe a quarter filled, and that is when the service slipped. We asked for the check at least three times before it was brought out. We waited15 minutes... Minus one star.

    This place is bonkers. Truly a hidden gem, well hidden. The first time I drove by it I had no idea…read moreit was there. It's attached to an awful motel (use the restroom at your own risk). But this restaurant is amazing. The food was phenomenal. We love Indian food but this was on another level. We tried 4 different kinds of naan, all pillowy and fresh and so good with all the different sauces. Garlic was our fave. The rice is perfect, the chicken melts in your mouth, and for the most adventurous among us the goat was loved. Do yourself a favor if you're in the Youngstown area stop here, if you're just driving though stop here. Ignore everything around it. Super friendly service and crazy good fresh authentic food!

    I am very disappointed with my experience at Mantra Restaurant in Youngstown. This is the fourth…read moretime I have found a hair in my food. The first few times I ignored it, but after it happened again, I called the restaurant and informed them about the issue, hoping they would improve their food hygiene. Unfortunately, it has happened again. Finding hair in food once can be a mistake, but four times shows a serious lack of quality control and cleanliness. This is unacceptable, especially when customers are paying for their meals. I hope the management takes food safety and hygiene more seriously so that other customers do not have the same experience. I will not be ordering from here again.

    I actually like this place. Unexpected. Shriys was my waiter. Super nice. The momos - their version…read moreof the dumplings, were delicious. 1st time trying them. The chicken tikka was competent and the sauce was really, really good. The chicken presentation could have been better, but that is just for optics. The flavor was there. The restaurant looks very clean and it's very well set up. Check the pic.. I saw someone wiping the chairs after patrons used them. You don't see that all the time. I'm no expert in food of these regions. Much less food from Nepal. All I know is that I enjoyed the food. I was full and I wanted to keep eating :-) You should try them. They are worth a visit. And they are trying hard to do well hence my 5 stars
