Oh my, what can I say!? We had a simply divine dinner here in the Downtown Raleigh area. A friend of ours recommended Mantra and said to be sure and try the Non-Veg. platter as an appetizer. We liked it so much we ordered more! Trust me, it's that good. The 3 of us each ordered a different dinner entree, and then we shared. The Lamb Shank, chicken tikka masala and Kerla fish curry were all terrific. I had the tilapia and the portion size was plentiful. And of course, there was the naan bread which you can easily forget how much you've eaten. But that didn't stop us from cleaning our plates. We ordered dessert as well and I must say the pistachio ice cream was really good. I am an avid food connoisseur and must point out that I have tasted Indian food throughout the U.S. and Mantra in Raleigh is by far one of the best places to dine on Indian delicacies.
