Matra is one of the few Indian restaurants which serves authentic Indian food. The buffet has a variety of entrees and each of them is prepared with exotic spices which blend perfectly to give a great taste. The service is great too and the rates are reasonable.

I am floored. Being an Indian, it's hard to feel satisfied with an Indian restaurant. Sometimes the food is great, but ambiance is terrible. If ambiance is good, the food smells of preservatives. Even if you get one where both food and ambiance work, then the prices are high and you end up opting for a cheaper place. I am... More

Being from UK after a while in Temecula you long for a good curry. Indian restaurants are limited and we found this one to serve reasonably good curry. We ate the biryani, potatoes and chicken and although slightly on the oily side, the taste was good. The price was reasonable.

We had a wonderful Mother's Day feast. Definitely will return. It was a wonderful experience with delicous food out of my ordinary. Lots of variety to choose from and noboy could possibly go away hungry. The only problem is if there is a picky eater in the crowd who is afraid to try different things, but even they can probably...

This Indian Buffet has very good food and always fresh during their lunch buffet. For the price, this buffet is great. I have gone many times with my family and had never been disappointed.

Great food and service. Staff kindly guided me through menu choices. Seemed a little expensive at the time but I have had Indian food since and now I would consider it a fair bargain. I showed up very late but the staff were very welcoming and patient with me. I would highly recommend.

Decided to try it since it was rated #1 in Temecula. The restaurant setting is extremely plain and unattractive. The service was polite. Food was ok but not really sure what people were so exhilirated about. As I started eating rice with lamb which had very pleasant taste, noted a piece of something black in the sauce of the meat,...

I went to Mantra for the Sunday Champagne Brunch, the food was great but the service was really bad. We had finished one plate and went up for a second plate when we sat down they brought us over the bill. That would be okay but not at a all you can eat it is like telling you that you... More
