The restaurant overall was a great experience including the quality of food. However, the quantity of food served is not enough for the cost. This is an expensive $$$ Indian restaurant.

Wow what a come back. Mint was my favorite halal Pakistani restaurant and my go to for takeout orders. When it had a fire accident few years back, I was sad. Finally they are back and in the same location just way much better. The restaurant has been set up to given an upscale experience. It is in a strip mall and it just so unexpected to see this trendy vibe in that location. There are plenty of parking spaces. I am glad that I made reservations it was full house. We were asked to wait for few minutes while they set up our table. This could have been done before but its ok. Then when we were seated, our waiter pointed us out the popular dishes and drinks. The seating area is nicely decorated with dark green seats and modern chairs. The ambiance is enhanced with dimmed lights and table lights. One wall is brick with a projection tv. Another wall has a big ethnic wood door. It is a nice combination of modern with ethnic elements. The appetizers were really different. Samoosa had a rich sauce on top of it and it had the right amount of spices and perfect crispness. We ordered dal, butter chicken, tandoori chicken and vegetable biryani. All of them well done though butter chicken was too oily and very few pieces of chicken could be found in it. Tandoori chicken was cooked to perfection, the spices were delightful. Naan bread was also good portion with a well balanced dough. Mocktails were a nice touch to our meal. The flavors were unique and playful. The dessert we ordered were nicely served and were appealing to the eye but flavors and textures could have been better. Gelato had a rough texture and macaroon was lacking flavors. Our waiter was very helpful and checked on us several times and explained the dishes. I am so happy to have Mint back in our neighborhood and will definitely be my to go place when Indian food craving hits. Oh bathroom is also so clean and nicely decorated Welcome back Mint!

They tried hard but wasn’t enough. Requested my dish to be spicy but was bland and tasteless. They suggested bringing hot sauce but but he forgot. Asked for salt but by the time they brought it I was pretty done dining. Oh well, maybe you’ll have better luck.

I had an absolutely exceptional experience at Mint! From the moment we walked in, the upscale ambiance and welcoming vibe set the tone for a fantastic evening. The food was absolutely delicious—every bite was bursting with flavor. We tried the chicken tikka masala and the roasted eggplant dish, both of which were outstanding. And the garlic naan? Simply to die for! What truly sets Mint apart, though, is the incredible staff. Everyone was so kind and attentive. A special shoutout to the host/waiter, who showed unparalleled honesty and integrity. I accidentally dropped $300 cash on my way out, and they ran out to our car to return it to me. Mint is a gem in our community, and I can’t wait to come back. If you’re looking for amazing Indian food and an experience that feels like home, this is the place to go. Let’s support our local businesses—this one definitely deserves it!

Incredibly happy that Mint has finally reopened after the devastating fire a couple years ago. We had an awesome dinner during this “soft launch” period. The group ordered the chicken korma, chicken tikka masala, coconut curry shrimp and garlic naan. The flavors at Mint have so much depth. The protein was so tender. We can’t wait to come back.

The food was phenomenal, however the only problem I had was that the food service TOOK FOREVER! We waiting almost 50 mins for our food to come. Since I’ve been going to both khan saab and shor bazaar for a while now, it’s hard to believe that the wait time was so long. Food was amazing. Ambience was amazing. Service from waiters and staff was very good. It’s just the wait time that we had a problem with.

2.5 years after a fire closed the restaurant, Mint has reopened with a completely new decor and look. The menu has been upgraded and is broadly similar to it’s counterpart Khan Saab. If you are in the mood for authentic northern Indian/Pakistani food, Mint will not disappoint you! The lamb vindaloo, bhindi and chicken karahi were all outstanding, delicious and left a very satisfied feeling! Lastly the mango lassi was just what was needed to top it all off. Wasim and his crew kept up the fast pace of delivery, very polite and full of energy and enthusiasm. A great restaurant which deserves patronage!
