Takeout order:Garlic Naan: 5/5Tandoori Pomfret: 4/5 I can’t feel the masala spicyness.Chicken Lollipop: 0.00001/5 I can’t eat them they’re stones. Uneducated chef who prepared them using Basin flour turned into stones when I reach home. Chef have to refer some YouTube videos what’s the color and texture of the chicken lollipops. If he doesn’t know how to cook them you guys have to remove the item from Menu.Pomfret fish is very small but why they’re charging it $18 I don’t know.

Don't let the non-descript shopping plaza and underwhelming decor fool you...the food is wonderful. Nuanced, rich flavors. Type of food you will crave. Highly recommend for dine-in or take out. When you are looking for something other than fast food or another chain restaurant check out Spicy Mint. You will not be disappointed.

New management since January 2022 is doing it right. The Fish Curry was delicious: well spiced, fragrant served with Jeera Rice. The chef/owner Mijan has skills to delight the palate. Looking forward to many return visits.The aroma prevented me from taking pics until I finished. Mohan is a wonderful waiter, courteous and very helpful in selecting dishes.

Love the place, the people, and the food! The service is pleasant, the food is great quality with their own personal flair, and the setting is comfortable and versatile where you could be fancy or relaxed in attire. MAKHANI CHICKEN is my favorite dish spice level 2!

The food was OK at best, there are better Indian places in the Albany area.Definitely not worth waiting in their cramped "lobby" area for an additional 30 minutes beyond when they said our food would be ready to pick up. Will not be ordering from here again.

Their dishes aren’t bland at all, very flavorful! Good atmosphere as well and friendly staff.

Showed up at noon for the lunch buffet and everything was already cold. We also had to bus our own table. Flavor was fine but I won't be returning.

Had been here for a lunch buffet. They gave us plastic gloves to serve food, cleanliness was maintained. The layout was good. Lots of varieties. It began with papdi, samosa Chaat, chicken Manchurian and fried rice, chicken biryani, several varieties of kebabs, fish vindaloo, chicken Tikka masala, prawns fry, onion bhajiya, idli medu vada sambar, bhindi masala, chana masala, veg biryani etc. The dessert station had 6-7 varieties of sweets including but not limited to gulab jamun, rasgulla, pineapple mousse etc. Naan was served on the table.Chicken Manchurian was good, chicken Tikka masala a little too sweet.While the food tasted good, all the fried items were cold and had become soggy. Sambar had no salt. Fried rice was not authentic. Chaat items were terribly cold as if they were taken right out of the fridge. Idli vada again cold. Chicken kebabs were cold hence a little dry in taste.For desserts, gulab jamun was good whereas rasgulla was super dry and hard.They had a mint, cinnamon cooler which was just watery, no taste.Overall experience was good. They could improve a bit by keeping the food hot/warm.

Good place with lots of Indian varieties. Did not have a chance to taste lunch buffet but the dinner a la Carte was good.
