About

Mantra is a real find. A good value, cosy family-run restaurant, it stands out from the chains and overpriced eateries that populate Dean Street. Its blend of Asian and Western influences works really well. Don’t expect your average curry menu either. Mantra is 100% vegetarian, yet tellingly, the majority of diners aren’t. They just enjoy tasty, expertly cooked food. A versatile menu lists creative dishes such as curried Bombay potato in pitta bread lined with chutney, as well as traditional meals such as saag aloo and palak paneer. The veggie chicken curry is fantastic. Good pre-theatre meal deals. Smiley service. Top marks all round.

Colleagues out for a three-course meals, friends out for a few drinks, families, celebrating a special event, couples looking for a quiet meal are who you’ll typically find at Mantra. The dimly-lit main restaurant has 30 covers, and can fit an extra 20 for a reception. A smart private basement room can accommodate a maximum of 25 seated, 50 standing. The bar saves you traipsing upstairs for drinks. Choose from an a la carte, canapé or buffet menu. You’re welcome to play your own music should the commercial pop, R&B and Asian fusion usually playing in the background not suit. Al fresco dining for four. Friendly service. Closed Sundays
