Mantra Progressive Indian Bath

The Indian cuisine at this restaurant is excellent, with a variety of delicious vegetarian options. We recommend ordering three of the smaller-sized curries for a satisfying meal for two, along with some poppadoms to start.

We recently had the pleasure of dining at Mantra Progressive in Bath. The restaurant focuses on providing a leisurely dining experience and serving delicious meals. The owner personally greeted and seated us, ensuring that each course was served slowly so that we could savor every bite of Northern Indian cuisine. He helped us choose dishes from the menu, and each one was fantastic. The cod appetizer and potato dosas were both tasty and light. We also enjoyed a variety of vegetarian dishes and a chicken special in a sweet curry sauce. The chicken paired perfectly with the spinach saag paneer and garlic naan. The black lentils and eggplant dish were also delicious choices. The portion sizes were just right, leaving us satisfied but not too full. This restaurant is a must-visit in Bath. Don't forget to try the Espresso martini for dessert!

The food and service at this restaurant were both excellent, receiving a 5 out of 5 rating. However, I was disappointed to learn from a staff member that none of the service charge is shared among the staff and is kept by the owner. This practice is outrageous and I would recommend enjoying the food but not paying the service charge.

It was literally plain pilao rice with dry chicken. Received the food cold therefore did not enjoy at all. It did not taste like biryani at all which was very highly disappointing

I was very underwhelmed by Mantra after having it recommended by a friend. Their vegetarian dishes were lacking. The waiter forgot my wine whilst bringing cocktails for the rest of the table, and I had to remind them 10 mins later even though there was only one other group sat in the restaurant. I did not finish all of my food and the waiter commented on it multiple times, which made me uncomfortable. Basically, it wasn’t great, it wasn’t awful, but i’ve had better food and service elsewhere. If I came again it would be during the day for the view.
