Read More On Citysearch dd091004 2/3/2010 - A GREAT FINDI dined at Mint after reading gr8 reviews here on CitySearch and im glad that i did. I enjoyed a great Restaurant Week menu along with a great service in an extraordinary ambiance. Mint definitely crushes competition with its upbeat and modern looks & great food to go with it.

Read More On Citysearch NancySon 2/2/2010 - Don't believe the hype. Expensive and mediocre.
When I read the great reviews about this restaurant I had to wonder if the customer had sampled other Indian restaurants in NYC. If you look at the bad reviews listed here they pretty much summarize my experience.
Save you money and go to the good Indian restaurant!

Read More On Citysearch by lomaticc at nymag.com 9/9/2009 - Overrated.
I went there for my wife's bday 2 weeks ago. The service was fine but the food was ok. In my opinion Mint is quite overrated on CitySearch. I am not a fan of the dim, green ambiance, but I would discount this as personal choice. Given the ratings, I guess my expectation were set quite high. An excellent Indian restaurant in the neighborhood would be Bukhara Grill on 49th betn 2nd & 3rd (Reserve ...

Read More On Citysearch foodicted 4/29/2009 - A Great Place!We went to Mint last night and had a really great time. The food was the highlight. There was a cauliflower app that was just delicious. I would suggest you try something in the cashew sauce. It was amazing. The decor is really nice and the service very professional.

Read More On Citysearch by sembh59 at nymag.com 2/20/2009 - DEFF NOT WORTH IT!I will just sum it up... Mint is not a place to get authentic Indian food. The place is very nice, no doubt about that,BUT the food is horrible. It came out cold and just did not have any taste to it. all the curries tasted the same. It is also way too expensive for what you get. The service is just OK. If you want authentic Indian there are many places near mint.

The Mint have a very nice ambiance that will appeal to people who enjoy wine and dine. The food is good but not great. There is also a bar in the restaurant.

Read More On Citysearch torontoian 11/23/2008 - Authentic Indian CuisineMint was very enjoyable. I made reservations for a Saturday night although it was not crowded upon arrival. I had the chicken and scallops entree with a spicy green sauce infused with mint which was amazing. Also, alot of their food is entertained by the whole theme of "the mint leaf." I definitely had a few mojitos as well which were quite nice. I would suggest this for a l;arge group or a date....
Read More On Citysearch sharmagirl 11/10/2008 - Delicious food!I love Mint - it is one of my 3 favorite Indian restaurants in the city. The food is delicious - not too bland (I usually get spicy), and not too heavy. I highly recommend this place for fine dining. It is a bit pricey, and the ambience is good but a bit dark. I wish it was closer to my place so that I could get frequent delivery.

Read More On Citysearch bklynqt05 8/25/2008 - Among the top 3 Indian restaurants in the cityI've been to Mint often and continue going there. I am from India and went there recently with my family, and we all unanimously agreed it was the best Indian food in the city currently. I say currently as the consistency of Indian restaurants in the city varies considerably. Try the lamb chops here, they really are to die for.
Read More On Citysearch RYNYC 7/24/2008 - service not as good as i thought it would be.The food was nothing special that it would've been and I think that the food had to do with the mint flavor. the kids wouldnt enjoy that much of the mint flavor in the drinks and food. The service was okay and it took me a while to get seated. By the way next time only have indian spices and foods on the menu because the american food didnt blend in with the indian culture.

Read More On Citysearch by Aimee1151 at nymag.com 4/18/2008 - Indian food is a must try!!!On my recent trip to NY, I stayed at W Hotel. The concierge recommended Mint and made reservations for me. It was my first experience of Indian food. The server suggested me Chicken Xacuti (I believe I spelt it right) which was very delicious. The Indian wine complemented the food very well. The decor and the music was outstanding and I highly recommend Indian food and Mint.

We were a half hour late and although they were busy, they didn't seem bothered by it at all. The hostess was gracious and sat us right away.

Read More On Citysearch abhiy1 7/12/2007 - Solid IndianEating at Mint is always a pleasure. The food is pretty compelling, the service is up to par and friendly, and the menu options are extensive. The blue decor is interesting, although not for everyone. Plus, it is a relative bargain when you consider the location and the quality of the food. Having eaten at the best Indian restaurants in New York, I would say Mint is not traditional or formal. Ra...

You walk in and are greet by trickling water from a natural-esk waterfall. Next what hits you is the glowing "mint" like green light and the decorative, almost festive style of this joint. Glowing window frames, glowing light from pictures, and mutli-colored lamp shades set off your eyes.

If you have a group of 10 make sure you reserve the private room, its awesome for a bday treat.

The place was empty which left us questioning why it took forever just to get drinks and for our waiter to come take our food order. Our food was pretty good once it arrived, although it can be easily compared to the other (tons of) indian establishments in the area. ...
Read More On Citysearch fll411 12/29/2006 - Enjoyed my dinnerI had dinner at Mint on a Friday evening and the place wasnt crowded at all. The food was okay, nothing spectacular. One thing that really struck a cord was the fact that the prices did not include rice, which was extra. I liked the Zentini (pricey at $12 a pop) and the decor and atmosphere were great. I would go there again but probably wouldnt order any alcohol as it is definitely too pricey.

It was very busy when we got there but the host had us sat after a 10 minute wait. We ordered a mojito and a mango martini and they were delicious. For appetizers we ordered Chicken Samosas and Lasooni Gobi and for main course we ordered Chicken Tikka Masala, Lamb Pasanda and Saag Paneer they were all just scrumptious. The place w...
Read More On Citysearch mike_sh 7/18/2006 - Worst service I have ever seenNever had such terrible service in Manhattan. We waited half an hour just to get menus, and watched another table of 10 people leave because they had been ignored by the (single) waiter. We got appetizers after 50 minutes. They forgot my drink order. Our table got our entrees after an hour and forty minutes, and they forgot my order. The waiter didn't even bother to come over and apologize. Flee ...

This is such a gem amongst Indian Restaurants with great decor, ambience much like the W Hotel in Times Sq or a upscale South Beach establishment. The service was prompt a very unusual trait for Indian restaurants, the menu was extensive and the food was also great since i have been to every indian Restaurant from London, NYC, L.A and San Francisco. I would recomend this to anyone who a...
Read More On Citysearch sonney 7/12/2006 - Yes, this is the one !!!Last night, I treated my parents to dinner at Mint for their anniversary. My mom, who loves Indian cuisine, said that the entres at Mint were probably the best she had tasted. No doubt, the tandoor lamb chops grilled to perfection were the best we had ever tasted. Service was prompt, had to wait a few minutes to be seated as the place was busy. The waiter was very friendly and helpful in providin...
Read More On Citysearch stedar 6/25/2006 - A Review You Can Actually TrustListen up. I've been to all the best Indian restaurants on both coasts, London and of course India. I've also been to a few hole in the wall joints that were quite good too. So I do not say the following lightly, I think Mint is highly over-rated. The poultry and seafood were not very fresh and were paired with your typical uninspired/bland sauces. Prices are on the high side, service was ok. On...
Read More On Citysearch sushi_search 6/17/2006 - Best Indian in NYCI have been going to Mint for about 4 months now and its absolutely great! Highly suggest Lamb Nilgiri and Veg/Non-Veg Samosa's. Also great service, good value and even better lunch specials!!! Highly Recommend this place!
Read More On Citysearch 429 6/9/2006 - Incredible!!I have traveled extensively across the US and tried many upscale Indian restaurants as well as small family diners. Until recently, I thought that the best Indian food I had was up in Vancouver, but Mint quickly proved that notion wrong. I tried some of the appetizers. The food was incredible! You could taste the fresh ingredients used in each dish, as well as the spice level was perfect. Althoug...
Read More On Citysearch adame13 5/12/2006 - Must try for the Indian cuisine loverI have tried many Indian Restaurants, but this one stands out. Very distinct flavor and very distinct recipes than usually found for Indian cuisines. We tried the Lamb Nilgiri and Saffron Shrimp, and must say I would go back any day. Prices comparitive to what you expect to find in Manhattan, but you get what you pay for. Well stocked bar too, but we didn't try that. Ambience is what the restaura...
Read More On Citysearch sampit 5/8/2006 - MINT>>>FOR EVERYONE...Can someone tell me if there is any other restaurant better than MINT. I know you guys don't have any answer because MINT is the best restaurant in NYC. I just love the party room they have inside with a big plasma TV where you can watch your favorite sport or news while having such a great food and drinks. This restaurant is the best restaurant I've ever been....EVERYONE SHOULD VISIT MINT......

Read More On Citysearch sumitwason 5/7/2006 - Go for the ambience not the foodYou could get the same food for $6-10 a dish in so many other places. At this place you are paying for the ambience, not the quality of the food. Having said that the layout and design of the place is really not all that special.

The Concierge at the W recommended us to go to MINT. I really didnt want to go to a Indian restaurant but my buddy insisted so i did. I could notice the restaurant from a block away with the bring green light outside the restaurant. The restaurant is pretty well made which made a great atmosphere for d...

To my surprise, I found MINT as one of the best place to have parties or a quite dinner. The colours are awesome, the ambience is just great. The BAR is full of wide range of liquors. Food is fantastic and very tasty, just when you need to have the change.
The staff is very freindly and explains the dishes so that you...

Last night I had went with my folks because I'd been raving about it so long. Every time I go here, I'm impressed because as far as Indian restaurants go, it is very impressive looking. Beautiful decor, friendly staff and a cute hostess. The service gets better each time I go there and the food is nothing short of spectacular. I have yet to...
