Gordon & Jess
Our first time trying Indian food. I liked it and Jess…not so much, LoL.
We started with the vegetarian sampler and both liked most of the options. Wish I remembered the names. Also, the red relish was awesome! We also ordered naan bread, onion and garlic flavors. The onion was perfect and I’d like garlic, get that one because…well just wow.
For our main course we tried butter chicken and chicken tikka masala. I liked them both. We also tried a lamb dish and a vegetable dish which were both good, too. I ate all of mine over delicious jasmine rice.
The place felt like family run and the service was excellent. Very friendly staff and lots of explanations about the food, including some history.

This is a very charming place. We loved the decorative lamps and service in this restaurant. My wife and I both ordered soups which tasted delicious but we’re a bit too watery for our taste. The garlic Nam was awesome and the Mahi-Mahi masala was delicious. We will definitely be coming back to this place again.

Mantra Fine Indian Cuisine in Pembroke Pines never disappoints. The food is consistently excellent, the flavors are rich, and everything tastes fresh every time we come in.
What really says it all is my kids, they actually love it and crave coming here for Indian food, which is not something I ever expected to say.
Our must-order dishes are the Chicken Tikka Masala and the Chicken Korma (Chef Special). Both are packed with flavor and always cooked perfectly. My oldest son absolutely loves the Malai Kabab chicken and asks for it every time. We always get plenty of rice, and you can’t skip the naan, their butter naan and garlic naan are flat-out delicious.
And to finish it off, their Kulfi Pistachio is hands down the best dessert in the world. The perfect ending to a great meal.
If you’re in the area and want a reliable spot with great Indian food, this is it.

Absolutely incredible! One of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had! The menu is extensive and authentic! The staff are warm and attentive. I came in for the first time to have dinner with my brothers, whom are practically regulars. They had been raving about this place for sometime, and now I know why. We had several dishes and appetizers. My favorite is the Chana masala, and chili garlic naan. I highly recommend if you are looking for sensational Indian cuisine!

Amazing Indian food in Pembroke Pines! Authentic flavors, real ingredients, and outstanding service. We loved the lamb and lentils with fresh naan—so flavorful and perfectly paired with a Taj Mahal Black Label beer. Don’t miss the homemade pistachio ice cream, it’s the perfect finish. Definitely coming back!

The food was great!! I started taking pics of the appetizers but I got so lost in the food that i totally forgot about the the pics. I had a spicy curry that was amazing …and spicy hot!! The Kashmiri naaan was an absolute treat! I wish I could remember the names of all the foods I had.
The service was above and beyond!! Jovan(?) made us feel at home. It did not feel like “customer service”, it felt like “family service”. We will be back!

From the moment we walked into Mantra Cafe, we were greeted with the kind of hospitality that instantly makes you feel at home. Nessi, our server, was truly exceptional—gracious, attentive, and so genuinely welcoming that it set the tone for the entire experience. You can tell she loves what she does and cares deeply about the people she’s serving.
We ordered a few appetizers and desserts to share, and everything was delicious—especially the veggie samosas and aloo tiki, which were perfectly spiced and satisfying. The chocolate dosa was a fun and decadent surprise, and we ended our meal with classic Indian sweets: ras malai, gulab jamun, and a cozy cup of chai. Each bite was comforting, but it was Nessi’s warm energy and thoughtful service that really made this visit special.
We’ll absolutely be coming back—good food is great, but service like this is unforgettable.
