The upside and the downside
Upside: dine in and the dishes are subtle and delicious. A nice change In a neighborhood of mediocre Indian restaurants. The busboy who brings water is the only friendly soul. Weird dark green lighting makes you feel as if you are dining in a Las Vegas moon ride. Downside: Frosty, uncaring manager/owner/personnel clearly don't give a pappadum about making anyone feel welcome. But the food is sometimes worth it. Deliveries are a different story. Upside: $8.99 gets you a full meal, and quickly. And you don;t have to deal with the people and the overpriced fare. Downside: the three dishes we tried were oddly flavorless, as if they'd come from a different kitchen. Not worth it, unless you're just looking for fast fuel at midday. And you're missing out on that weird dark green lighting.

not worth it!
Went there for lunch. Though the food was good but the service was horrible. We had to ask for water a couple of times, there was no sign that they cared for their customers! I am not going back there!

Minty Fresh
This place is a basic attempt to scale up Indian food that mostly succeeds. It styles things up, with low, blueish tinged light, fusion music playing in a loop over the speakers (needs a bit more work on the mix - heard the same song three times in 90 minutes), and fashionable cocktails. The vegetable samosa was very nicely done, although VERY hot, straight from the oil to the plate, with no warning. The Malai Kofta was hearty, and served in a rich, thick sauce, as it should be. No one but the most ardent carnivore would miss the meat. The Rasmalai was cold and creamy, not too sweet (as is sometimes the case in more street-level places). Lychee martinis had actual lychees in the bottom; the pomegranate ones were astringent and nice. Both were mixed perfectly by the none-too-friendly bartender. That's actually the only downside to the place - the waiters are obsequious to the point of being creepy, while the bartender acts like she can't wait for you to get out. The clientele, mostly urban Indian professionals, was also kind of snotty and conspicuous. All of that, together, brings down the atmosphere. Still, nice place to visit to eat your Indian favorites in a stylish setting.

Very Good Food
While I cannot rate the service for sit-down, as the 4 times i have gone to this restaurant it has always been for take-out, the take out service was fine. But I keep going back for the delicious food. I have ordered the Lasooni Gobi, Vegetable Samosas, Dal Makhni, Onion Kulcha, among other dishes. I enjoyed them all. While the food may be pricey, it is no more expensive than other restaurants with the same food quality. I would definatly recommend this place .

Amazing place
Man.. I love this place, my wife hated indian food for longtime, Until I took her to Mint.. she loved it, we go almost every 2 weeks at least sometime weekly, amazing food, the best chicken tikka masala I have ver tested, the atmosphere is amazing, the staff are good too. I highly recommend it to everyone, personally whenever I have a friend in town I take him/her to Mint!! No question.

A Big Disappointment!
One of my friend recommend this place to me, so I decided to check the place out with my mom..Its a big time disappointment..food is so sweet and tasteless..I order a dish extra so asked them to pack it to go..It was untouched but when I saw the entree they packed it was less than 1/4 of what we had..
