Cons:
"Didn’t get a chance to try the food as waiting nearly an hour for drinks (didn’t even get any water) while sat in the restaurant."
"The waitress knew nothing about the menu either, saying one curry was ‘just like the other ones but spicier’."
"No updates for 1.5 hours after the estimated delivery time."
"We generally love the food from this place, however we have found when ordering the food is often late."
"After over a 2 hour wait till past 10pm at night the curry finally arrived."

"Very long wait to get the table (over an hour)."

Ambience
Pros:
"The atmosphere was relaxing. We sat on the glass patio with a beautiful view of the hillside."
"We had a table on the (heated) terrace, which offers a splendid view over Bath."
"Right when you walk in, you are surrounded by a homely inviting restaurant."
"The food and service was nice. We sat in the open air section and it was pretty cold. I would suggest you carry a coat."
"Had a gorgeous meal here last night with my daughter, we needed an early dinner so it was very quiet at the time which meant we were able to sit at a table looking over their terrace and good views of Bath beyond."
"The back of the restaurant has a really modern panoramic conservatory extension which provided great views of Bath."
"Mantra accommodated our large double birthday party at the last minute. We sat on the covered, heated terrace with views of Bath and a wisteria."
"The decor is also very nice! We will be going back (and ordering take away) again!!! and again... and again!"
Cons:
"We booked for Fathers Day and specifically asked if we can bring our dog they said their patio area was dog friendly. As soon as we sat down the manager approached to us saying 'This is not a pub this is a restaurant'."
"BEHAVIOUR is NOT great at all. We went walk-in to the restaurant and they said its booked although there was hardly any person sitting at that time."
"The table I was provided with has a dust covered candle stand, the menu of drinks provided had stains of chutney all over it and sticky too."
"The plates served were all broken from the sides and their ends were chipped off."
"Me and the family came here for a dinner on a Friday night. Pre booked and got seats near the entrance... which seemed good as it was spacious but also meant everyone who entered just stood watching your food and you eat whilst they waited."
"Few points to be considered though: I went on a Sunday, it was not much crowded but could not get the open area seating even though it was empty."
"Food was really good (me and my wife have ate in a lot of curry houses in both Bristol and Bath) and we rated this highly. It was greasy and full of fresh flavour."
"Food is not at all Indian. Making fool of local people to be honest. Whosoever prepared it, is really incompetent. Never ever had that soggy dosa before anywhere in the UK. Sambhar was not at all tasting like Sambhar."
