Amazing food, service, and presentation

Anu Sharma and her team were a true pleasure to work with. They did all of our wedding events from a kickoff party at home, to mehndi/sangeet and wedding/reception. Their food is definitely amazing and they put a twist on traditional Indian items. Even more than their food, their team went above and beyond to make everything so memorable for all of us. Their attention to detail, their creativity, and their overall passion for the events they cater are like no other. Indian Garden and Mantra are by far the best Indian restaurants in the Midwest. We are so grateful to have had them as caterers for our 3 days of wedding events.

Top tier food and service

My sister's wedding was catered by Mantra, and we could not have dreamed of a better experience working with them. Planning a wedding, even as the brother of the bride, is extremely stressful, and the food/catering aspect is one of the most important parts of the occasion. The team at Mantra really understands this and they made the entire process working with them very easy, with no headache.

The food was genuinely the best food I've ever had at any wedding. The entire team and staff at Mantra was extremely friendly and displayed the utmost professionalism, both during the planning stage and during the day of all the wedding events.

We consistently heard high praise throughout my sister's wedding weekend, in regards to two particular points: 1) about how good the food was in taste and quality, and 2) also how well each wedding event flowed into the other, and Mantra played a major role in this.

Mantra has a passion for food and the folks there are committed to providing outstanding service, and it clearly shows. I would recommend them without hesitation to anyone who is looking for a caterer that provides good food and service.
