I don't know who the host was, but he was AMAZING. He hooked us up with some complimentary dishes and the food was very good too. When I come back to Manhattan, I'm definitely coming back.
Cute, yummy, and cozy! Mint Masala is one of my regular go-to restaurants in the area. The different curries are creamy and delicious, and they can adjust the level of spiciness to your needs. Their vegetable samosas are great and their lentil soup is perfect for a winter day. They have a vegetarian section and other options that can be made vegetarian. It’s a small spot, so I recommend checking in before heading there!
I had the Lamb Bara Kabab and I would really recommend it. It’s was super good. The staff is really friendly. One of the staff members, James, even helped me take pictures of the food which was super sweet. Overall 5/5 experience
This place has the best food and you get so much with the lunch specials. I had the chicken kadai today (in photo - the server was getting my naan at that moment so you can see I got even more food than what is already pictured.) I always feel pleasantly full after eating here.
We had an incredible experience at Mint Masala, and a huge part of that was thanks to James, hands down the best server we’ve ever had. From the moment we were seated, James made us feel genuinely welcome and well taken care of. His attention to detail, warm personality, and impeccable timing made the entire evening seamless and enjoyable. James anticipated our needs before we even had to ask, refilling drinks, offering helpful recommendations, and checking in just the right amount to make sure everything was perfect without ever being intrusive. It’s rare to come across someone so dedicated to providing exceptional service, and James absolutely delivered. The food at Mint Masala was delicious, but it was James who elevated our experience from a great dinner to a truly memorable one. We’ll definitely be coming back, and we’ll be asking for James by name. Thank you for making our night so special!
James was a great server (whole staff was super friendly) and we really enjoyed all of our dishes. Also was extremely affordable - we spent $50 for dinner for two. Def coming back next time we're in the village!
From the beginning the experience was amazing. My brother and I were there for the first time and the food was incredible! We had the Chicken 65 which had the perfect balance of spice, crunch and flavor. The Chicken Tikka Masala was some of the best we’ve had. The Malai Chicken Tikka was cooked to perfection. So tender and juicy and the green chili paste was full of flavor. We also tried the Chicken Zafrani. Boasting with spices and flavors. Super creamy gravy. The garlic Naan bread was delicious! To end it, we had a perfect sized rice pudding! 5 out of 5 for me! Can’t wait to go back!
