Looking to lose a few inches? Look no further than the Mynt. Portions are so tiny that over indulgence is out of question… at least from an affordability perspective. Sit back, relax, enjoy your meal… assuming you can find your food on the plate!

The food was good. The ambience was also nice! They served us a free dessert and it was delicious ?

We have tried Mynt a few times and have always felt underwhelmed by the flavors. They have an exciting menu, and they do a good job with their overall presentation, but while the food isn't bad, it doesn't impress as well!

Ordered shaam savera kofta and matar mint tikki. Both dishes were bland, but tasted okay. When we ordered, they were brought to us within like 5 mins, which seemed like they were not freshly prepared or even heated well. We were disappointed with the food quality. I would give full points about ambience though.

The service and atmosphere were excellent, but the food was really tasteless. We ordered the chicken biryani, and the chicken tasted like it had only been tossed in oil and turmeric. There is no flavor at all. The rice was completely devoid of moisture. The chicken 65 was not at all like chicken 65; it was sugary and tasted as though it had been tossed in ketchup. The appetizers came in about 2-3 mins, which seemed like a very short time for it to be called as fresh food. Overall, a negative experience that I will not suggest.

Naan quality is really good! Better than many Bay area Indian restaurants. Gravy of Rogan Josh was flavorful, loved it. A few pieces of lamb were a bit too hard, plus the indoor seating area was colder than the room temperature. So 4 stars in overall rating. Expect better heating from an upscale restaurant. Service was good.

Some of the food items were great and a few felt stale and bad in taste( like the dahi puri). The baby corn bezule was kind of bland, I had to use the chutneys from other items.The service quality was good. I recommend trying the lychee Panna cotta for dessert.

This is not a typical Indian food restaurant. The taste is more suitable to the American people. The food is mild/medium taste-wise but they can make it spicy as per request. We went on Friday evening and were able to get a table easily. The staff is very courteous and checks on you if everything is good. We ordered the ragda pattice papdi Chaat and Rawalpindi choley. The ragda pattice papdi Chaat was better than choley.

Awful experienceI paid 35$ just to get a bowl of white water instead of chicken pista korma. I had this stew many times before in other places. Always colorful and tasty. This time is pale white with salt, very watery not like a soup even!!. I am not going to this place again and recommend you not giving it a chance

A good fine dine experience. Ordered Chicken Biriyani and kofta. The Kofta was very delicious. The Biriyani was one of a kind. Not comparable to the southern style with heavy spices but on a lighter side but flavorful. If you want an Indian fine dine, flavorful dishes without the heaviness this should be a spot to go.
