Mantra Masala - Maroubra

We had takeaway and found it pretty. The meat was tender and the dishes quite tasty. The lamb cutlets done in the tandoor were good, although the sauce was a bit sweet for my taste. The malai kofta was excellent.

To be fair it's not England so it's hard to be to judgemental. We've tried many Indian restaurants in Australia and there simply not the same. If this was in the UK you wouldn't stop, well you wouldn't stop for any that we've had over here but that's not to say it's terrible food or there's not worse in the uk as there is. So tonight to start we had poppadoms and mint sauce. Stock standard, maybe a little greasy but nothing great about them. We then had vindaloo wings and samosas. Both pretty good but neither memorable. For mains we had the jerk chicken and also chicken tikka massala and butter chicken. The jerk chicken was really nice and would get again but the other two were average. Pretty tomato tasting but not terrible. We also had steamed rice but also had the lamb biriyani. Can't do much to the steamed rice but the biriyani was poor, watery and not great flavour. Over all it was pretty average but for $100 for a family meal it's not great value. For that money I'd rather go and grab a takeaway from somewhere else or even fast food but as a one off meal it's not too bad. Average at best!

Ate here a year ago and food was good but sat down tonight and couldn't believe my eyes ! Went to the toilet and peered into the kitchen expecting to see a chef what I saw was a few young people not in kitchen atire but very casual . I then noticed white plastic buckets lined up on the table with diffferent curries in each one ! But thought give them a chance. The service was average from the girl out the front who seemed that she did not want to be they're. The food came quick but the meat was chewy and sauces not good ! Garlic Naan okk but that was it ! Rubbish guys not coming back !

We had take aways, lamb sagwala and beef vindaloo. For both the meat was very chewy. I cant recommand it at all. The naan and rice were good but not enough to repeat.

We love this restaurant where the takeaway tastes as good as the dine in. All the usual favourites and some specialty dishes too. Never disappoints!
