Venkat's Mantraa Kitchen - Panvel

They have recently restructured themselves from Venkat Mantra Resto Bar to Mantra Lunch home. The reason behind this restructuring is that there business come down due to nearby ne restaurant Maharastra Lunch Home. I am regularly visiting Maharastra Lunch Home and like there food. But this time tried this Mantra Lunch home. Hence, it is obvious that both the restaurants will be compared. Below are the comparison points: Cons: 1. They are copy of Maharashtra Lunch Home. They have stolen concept of Maharashtrian Thalis from Maharastra Lunch Home. Though the varieties in the food are limited. 2. Ambiance is average. 3. Food taste is average. 4. Service is slow as their kitchen is on ground floor and seating is on first floor. 5. Smaller than Maharastra Lunch Home. 6. Maharastra Lunch Home has appointed 2-3 people to arrange vehicle parking. Though Mantra also kept one person but he is in-effective. Pros: 1. They ate providing 2 bhakaries in single thali compared to 1 bhakari in Maharastra Lunch Home. 2. They are providing finger bowl which is missing in Maharastra Lunch Home.

The attitude of the staff was impolite. I order non veg Hyderabadi biryani, it was green color, I feel that I ate pulao When I asked if I could use the dine out app for the payment, they denied it, even though the option was available .

Really good place for family and for friends also. Taste is also very good, must try veg do aba. And Service given by Mr devashish is very nice . Thank u devashish

This is a lovely place with a pleasant atmosphere. The staff is polite and attentive, providing excellent service. The food is delicious and of high quality. A must-visit spot for sure!

Update 1: Food maybe good or great but service is not acceptable for the amount that is being charged. Flies dying on the table. Manager seems unapologetic and wants to push the waiters forward for the blame. Inadequate staff leading to poor and slow service. We ate here before, service was good some two years ago but it has gone down drastically. Management and owner should take a look. Ambience is great, perfect place for a family dinner. Usually operates at full capacity over the weekends. Better to go late on the weekends or on weekdays, Servers do struggle a bit but, but the overall service provided by staff and management is good. Atleast its one restaurant that listen to their customers with regards to complaints. Food quality is good and nicely served, I'll only give 3/5 for food, because there is no distinct taste, gravy tasted almost the same for veg and non veg. Must try : Chicken lollipop
