spacer
Ashwani Dhawan: A highly creative and seasoned entrepreneur who always had a deep hidden passion for great food and a flair for designing and building elegant and unique dining places. Ashwani has fulfilled his dream by creating the unique Mantra experience by combining the elements of California freshness, the vibrant colors and aromas of East India and art elements from some of the contemporary masters of India. Technology continues to remain as his second passion where he has spent last 20+ years of his adult life, building and running many different technologies, products and organizations for various Silicon Valley startups, consulting companies and large leading technology providers like IBM and GE.

“It was important to make Mantra’s interior space warm and inviting while also being reflective of the colors and flavors of India. We have strived to create a balance of chic, comfort, and graciousness. Everyday, we rededicate ourselves to make our cuisine, our wines and service to be very best in the Silicon Valley. Numerous accolades and awards from our critics are testimonial to the fact that we are on the right track.”
