I just found out about this place and oh my God, what an amazing place. The owner, chef, waiters are all amazing people. Its a family owned place and everyone pays such a great attention to detail. Food is really AUTHENTIC Indian food, not the Americanized version of Indian food. Everything is so flavorful and great. I tried their Chicken Karahi and oh my God, 1st time outside of Pakistan and Dubai, I tasted such Karahi. Tried their Chicken Tikka Masala is actually really Chicken Tikka, not the Butter Chicken. Theres a difference between the two which lots of people dont know. Their Naan bread is just amazing and to die for. All the Deserts are just amazing. Great selection of Foods and they have Daily Buffet with many selections and great price. Service is just amazing and theyre very welcoming. I would definitely come back and bring some friends and family and will recommend this place to everyone who enjoys Authentic Indian Food.

The restaurant is small with not much decor. Lunch buffet is $8.99/person and starts at 11am. I was there at 1pm, and some of the selections were out. The waiter said they will refill the food tray soon. I could hear the chef busy cooking in the kitchen. He brought out a few vegetable dishes to refill. No meat refill though. Their chicken tikka masala and curry chicken were delicious. I also like the okra a lot. Overall the food was good. But I didnt like the dark and depressing ambiance at the restaurant.

My favorite local Indian food restaurant. Each dish is distinct from every other, and the food is tasty (not just a mish-mash of blended flavors, but delightful explosions of them) and fresh. Ive been trying a different dish each visit and havent been disappointed yet. Its a small place in a dowdy shopping center, but once inside, the decor is pleasing and the service is friendly and efficient.

This is some of the best Indo-Pak food anywhere. Skip the Indian standards and go for the amazing Mint Special dishes! That said, even the yellow dal is good enough to make a meal of, thick and savory. Ive lived in South Asia and eaten Indian food around the country and Mint is my favorite in OC. If you want the nice white table cloths and dont appreciate great food, move along.

Very nice place. Food was very delicious. We ordered chicken karahi, lahori chicken and both were awesome. Their garlic naan were also best quality. I have been to so many social restaurants but, this place is my number one place. I highly recommend this place. Thank you brother Iqbal for everything. Specially, thank you for your hospitality.

what can I say! this is some of the finest Indian good anywhere in South Orange county. typically prefer vegetarian when I eat indian food, because most places overcook the meat, but try any of the lamb dishes here and you will not be disappointed. curries are also delicious. its a must to keep coming back to to explore all of the menu

The food was delicious, and the service was fantastic. I initially visited here when they first opened, and had the buffet. I was not disappointed then. Came in tonight for dinner and the food was as good, if not better. I definitely recommend it, and will be back next time Im in the area, and craving Indian food.

Delicious food. I wanted a halal meal, having gone without meat and chicken for a few days. I got the chicken tikka masala. One downside is that when you order, you are only ordering the dish - no sides. Id like for them to have platters, but when you do order sides (rice, naan), you get generous portions.

Really delicious Indian food. Was staying nearby on business, and decided to go to Mint two nights in a row because it was so good and affordable. Quality meat, flavorful, and plentiful. Just wish it were closer to home.

The people running the restaurant are courteous and accommodative to your requests. They were upfront about their vegan options. The food is quite tasty and portions were sufficient for a good meal.

Love this place! Great food, friendly service right in the neighborhood! $8.99 lunch buffet is fantastic. Made in small batches, and different offerings everytime Ive come!

Worst buffet ever. Barely had any food. No salad bar. Nothing special about taste. Charged for naan separately from buffet. I would never recommend this to anyone.

Great food, limited options. Mostly authentic, but cut a few corners... but the prices were good. Small restaurant. I would love to go again.
