Tantra - Modern Indian Bistro

I celebrated Galentine's Day with friends and had mixed experiences. The initial welcome was a bit cold, but our server Shiva was attentive and friendly. Service was slow despite being fairly busy, and some staff seemed disengaged. The food was enjoyable, with standout drinks and an outstanding gulab jamun dessert. However, the dress code discrepancy was noticeable. Overall, it's a solid option if you're nearby, but might not quite hit the fine dining mark.

Everything except the drinks were bad. I had high hopes. Unfortunately, I didn’t read the reviews and go. We had a kebab chicken platter and the none of the chicken had a taste, was undercooked and not crispy or smoky. For the mains, we had garlic naan and kofta curry. The naan was a tiny portion of 6 pieces, flat and not fluffy like a normal naan. The kofta base had a milk like consistency ?! and undercooked kofta, bad taste. For the price, wasn’t worth it. Please change the cook or management.

Had an awesome time at Tantra in McKinney! The food was super flavorful and the desserts were amazing. It’s a little pricey, but honestly worth it—especially if you’re celebrating something. Chill vibes, great service, and totally a spot I’d go back to.

Honestly the food was good. I really liked the taste but It did give me and my friends food poisoning right after so I’m a little dicey on how I feel about the place. I liked the ambiance and staff they were v nice. I would recommend chilli bites and hot harmony. Def do not recommend the authentic fried rice. It was one of the worst fried rice I’ve tried. And everything else was really good.

We went here for dinner with my husband and friends, expecting a fine dining experience, but it turned out to be one of the worst dining experiences we’ve had. No one attended to our table for nearly 20 minutes after we were seated. One server silently dropped plates and water without a word, and another came to take our order without greeting or basic courtesy. The appetizers — Pahadi Spiced Paneer Skewers and Jalfrezi — arrived cold. The paneer was dry and rock hard, and the Jalfrezi was soggy. When we questioned it, the staff said “that’s how it is here.” Only the Chilli Paneer Bites, which were sent as a replacement, were decent. For mains, Dal Makhani was average, but Kofta Curry and Veggie Do Pyaza were watery and tasteless. The naan looked like leftover pieces, cut into small bits
