What a fantastic little hidden gem we have here in Bear! Apparently I had never had South Indian…read morecuisine before so I'm happy to have discovered this little spot. We went for dinner and hadn't realized it was a buffet so that was win #1. I'm a huge fan of getting to try many small tastes so this was a perfect way to sample everything. Instead of Naan we had Dosa (thin crepe) , Vadas (think fried lentil donut) and Uttapaam (like a scallion pancake but better!) No Yogurt based dishes and you won't miss them; the spicy, fragrant, aromatic flavor of every dish is bursting with each bite. I wasn't familiar with any of the dishes so I took a little taste of each and went back for seconds for almost everything. If you are on the hunt for a new spot to get you *slightly* out of your comfort zone, this is it. Pro Tip: the Peanut Chutney is spicy and pairs perfectly with everything you'll try!

My order was for chicken tiki masala, basmati rice, garlic naan, cheese naan, and a side of tiki masala sauce. The order came as quick as it would allow - with my ordering right at open. I must say - this food was very good. The chicken tiki masala I ordered at a 3/10 heat level and it had just that - a nice spice to it without burning my face off. The chicken chunks were nice and tender - and the extra side of the sauce was perfect for dipping. The naan. I think I could eat naan everyday of my life. Fluffy flatbread that hugs the chicken and extra sauce, and the garlic and cheese variants were so damn good. Wow. The basmati rice was standard - which is a good thing and paired nicely with the tiki masala. Overall - damn good. Must have - whether you're a first timer or a seasoned Indian food person.

This may sound wrong, but it's a good sign when you see diners of the menu's ethnicity. We were served what seemed like Chana Dahl with three delicious sauces. For an appetizer we shared vegetable samosas. The mashed vegetable mixture was fluffy and delicious. We also shared Garlic Naan. An important and positive note: the server asked how hot (spice wise) we wanted our meals on a 1-10 scale. This was welcome as I don't like my food very hot whereas my wife prefers more heat. Our main entree meals followed our wishes. My wife had Lamb Vindaloo, well sauced with Rice. I had the Tandoori Mixed Grill, a collection of Tandoori chicken, chicken kebab and Tiger Shrimp. All the pieces were cooked perfectly and seasoned as I expect Tandoori. The servers were not overbearing and it was a pleasant experience. We had leftovers, every drop consumed. My only regret is I didn't take photos to show you how good. Recommended!

The Mint Room in Bel Air is an absolute gem and easily home to one of the best Indian lunch buffets in Maryland. I have also been to their Hunt Valley location and both consistently deliver an outstanding experience. I visited on a Saturday afternoon for their lunch buffet which runs from 11am to 3pm and left beyond satisfied. The restaurant itself is nicely decorated and conveniently located in a shopping plaza, making it easy to access with plenty of parking. Even though the buffet was decently packed when we arrived around noon, we were seated immediately. The buffet spread is impressively expansive, with 15 plus dishes available at any given time. Everything is refreshed frequently, so the food is always hot and inviting. It is the kind of buffet where you can actually sample everything in one visit without feeling rushed or disappointed by empty trays. Highlights for me included the fish curry, goat curry, biryani chicken, and the tikka style mushrooms, which were addictive. The spice level across the board leans mild to medium, making it approachable for all palates and appropriate for all ages, while still delivering plenty of flavor. It strikes a perfect balance between authenticity and accessibility. Service was also excellent. Each table is greeted with a carafe of mint infused water, which is a thoughtful and refreshing touch that sets the tone right away. The staff was friendly and attentive throughout our meal. At $20 per person, this may be the best dining deal in all of Bel Air. Between the quality, variety, and service, The Mint Room is an easy recommendation and a spot I will happily return to again and again.

We opted for take out, as the dining area is limited by space, and seating comfort is minimal. You may want to take this into consideration if you have a large party, or number of guests. With that said, the staff is friendly and helpful to us. The menu selection seems limited on types of curry available. It seems they only offer 3-4 types of curries. However, the portions were generous, and the dishes were flavorful. Interesting that the Tikki Masala was prepared in a way that was new to us. The pricing was comparable to others in the region. Overall, it is a good option for take out, or trying out Indian cuisine in the MOT area.
