Mantra, Davenport, Iowa

We had an Indian meal along I-80 a bit back and our kids in the Quad City wanted us to compare and contrast the two, so we met them at his place, which is right around the corner from the Figge Museam, a favorite destination of ours in downtown Davenport. We brough my mother along and while she doesn't have a lot of experience with Indian food, she was with us at the previous restaurant. Our kids favorite dish is butter chicken, which was good, but the New Taste of India's was the definite winner for us, as is their Chicken Korma, their rice, and their naan. The samosa's were about evenly matched, but the tamarind and mint chutneys here were better. The Saag Channa was very good, and definitely better than the spinach dish we got at the other restaurant. The one thing I would get again if we were to go back is the Tandoori Chicken--it was flavorful and moist, and we managed to make quite the dent in the whole one that we ordered. The parking was easy on the street, and it is open 7 days a week, which is a real plus. We very much enjoyed eating with four generations, and any time we get to do that we appreciate it!
