Ordered on weekday afternoon on uber eats. Got it on time and it was still warm so points to uber eats. I ordered thali- i chose 2 entrees aloo mattar & paneer kadhai. Aloo mattar was okish at best and paneer kadhai was not authentic it was pretty sweet. Paneer was pretty dry. No spicy flavors at all (tbh it kinda threw me off a little). It came with rice naan & papadum. All of them were fresh and warm- no complaints. Paneer tikka masala katti roll- literally just turned the same paneer kadhai curry into roll and called it kathi roll. Literally exact same taste. paneer was dry and hard af. Like i'd spend my money in indian grocery store & get authentic roll for half price. Chicken jhol momo- this was a saving grace. I absolutely loved that they put jhol in a different container. Momos were warm & flavorful. Jhol was cold but really tasty. Not too spicy not too bland. Really good balance. Gotta say that uber eats packaging was really good. They made sure everything came fresh, warm and nothing moved while in transit. Appreciate it

*I will update this review if the restaurant manager is able to appropriately fix the situation* I spent a couple hours checking out menus online, looking for a place to get Indian street food and Indo-Chinese food. 10 years ago, I spent 8 months eating my way through India so it's always fun to find places in the US that offer more than the standard Punjabi curries found in most Indian restaurants in Massachusetts. I headed to Mint based on the great reviews, good prices, and an assortment of kathi rolls, chaats, and Indo-Chinese food. When I first placed my order (samosa chaat, paneer chili kathi roll, baby corn manchurian), it was evident there was an issue with the POS and/or front of house communication. I was quoted at nearly 30 dollars for the 3 snack items -- when I brought the high price to the worker's attention, she told me she had incorrectly put into the POS a paneer curry dish instead of the kathi roll I ordered. No big deal, she changed the order, showed me my updated receipt, and all seemed well. She also asked for a tip, which I gladly offered although found quite forward to ask for. I waited probably 15 minutes for my order. It's great to see everything is being made upon ordering. The worker called my name, read out my receipt items, and off I went with my food. I live in Haverhill, so it's roughly a 40 minute drive home. When I got home, two of the three items were wrong. No samosa chaat and no kathi roll. Instead, I had two samosas and a paneer chili curry with rice. I called up and expressed my concerns that my order was mostly inaccurate. I explained what my receipt said, and what food I had been given. I asked for a refund. I was told a manager would call me later tonight. 10 minutes later the same worker calls me back and tells me there will be no refund, because what I ordered and paid for was cheaper than the food cost for the incorrect items I was given. I pointed out this didn't matter to me - two of the three items were wrong and not what I ordered or paid for. I also don't eat rice! The worker again told me no refund because I had been given more expensive food than what I had paid for. I repeated that didn't matter - the order was wrong and not what I paid for. She then asked me to come back and exchange the food; I explained I just arrived home and it's a 40 minute ride between Mint and where I live. Not happening. I'm waiting for the manager to call me and make this right. Look, mistakes happen and I know restaurants are hurting right now because of the pandemic. But arguing with me about food cost when it's evident I was given the wrong food is ridiculous. And what is the point of tipping front of house, upon their request, when they don't even check the order? Not happy.

Ordered delivery from here tonight. -Biryani: so bland-basically tastes like plain rice -Hakka noodles: bland with no flavor -Chili paneer: very salty so couldn't taste any other flavor and was mostly gravy with a few pieces of paneer -Chana Masala: very salty with little other flavor and the chickpeas are tough (probably canned) -Paneer Tikka Masala: very sweet and the paneer is rubbery -Mango lassi: delicious -Butter naan: meh

Lamb Kati Roll
Bruce K.

Damn it. Kati rolls are so amazing, it sort of blew my mind when I had it. It definitely turned into one my most favorite things. It did remind me of the Indian style burrito that I had in Cali, but this one was a bit different as it was smaller and it was made with an egg cooked with the tortilla. Anyways, Mint Indian Eatery was a place I saw that was within the hotel shuttle distance so I decided that we should check this place out since we were in the area. And it did not disappoint. When we got here, there were only like 6 or 8 tables there and that was it. It was a take out spot, as you can also order through GrubHub. But, coming here was an experience in itself because we got to talk to the owner and he got to explain what momos were as well. It was different and sort of nice. Now to the food. You already know what I had. I had two, yes two, kati rolls. One was chicken tikki masala and one was lamb. To top it off, we decided to order momo's. Now I have to say, even though i'm very biased when it comes to it, soup dumplings (xiao long baos) reign supreme. But, this isn't too bad... I believe that there was too much breading, but that's just me. That was one of the big differences between the two, one has soup, one doesnt. The momos didn't have any soup to it, and to me the soup dumpling just gives you that extra that blows it out of the water. So is it worth it? Hell yes. We actually ordered as a take out the next week or the same week, as there was snow and we didn't want to go anywhere. I didn't feel like driving and we didn't want to deal with the cold. If you're in the area, and you want to try some quick Indian food, this place is your spot. If you want it delivered, the experience isn't quite the same, I highly recommend to eat at the restaurant over the delivery.

I am in love with this place. Very simple and nice ambiance. Good service. Anything I've ever tried has been good. To top it all prices are very reasonable. Must try their Papri chaat,momos and combo platter. Enough servings to share especially combo platters.

Chicken curry Kati roll
Cristina R.

After passing by the storefront right off Powderhouse many times, we finally found the time (and hunger) to pop in and see what Mint is about. I have to admit I was curious: with all of the flavorful and exotic herbs & spices in this type of cooking, why call an Indian/Nepalese restaurant Mint? The space was empty around 5:30pm on a Sunday, but a steady stream of people came in to pick up orders, so it seems like more of a take-out place. But I encourage you to sit and stay a while. There are a few tables as well as window stools, some cute decor, and the best part: free milky masala tea! A large thermos, small cups, and sugar are waiting in the window, ready for you to pour yourself a cup and relax. That's reason enough for me. I'm horrible at making decisions, so I asked the girl behind the counter for her recs, and she said the thali and the momos were most popular. When I followed up by asking which dishes exactly, she didn't seem to understand the question (or just didn't want to play favorites). So we just picked what sounded tasty and hoped for the best. We got a thali with channa masala & crispy spicy chicken, which includes basmati rice in the tray and a side of daal (spicy lentil soup). We also ordered the curry chicken kati roll to share. The thali had great flavor, not lacking in spice but not overpowering, and a good value for the amount of food. But what blew me away was the kati roll. The flavors of the chicken, veggies, thin layer of egg, and mint chutney mixed in a way I had never experienced. And there was the answer to my initial curiosity: MINT CHUTNEY. It was otherworldly, and I had to try my hardest not to inhale the entire roll. You can order a variety of of the entree options as a roll, so hang tight as I work my way through the minty menu...

Bhel Chatt: puffed rice appetizer
Goku U.

Adding our review after our second visit here. The restaurant is small but there has always been seating available. The good: Definitely recommend getting the chatt (appetizers)! The samosa Chatt is our favorite and the best in Boston/Cambridge/Somerville. The samosa isn't overly greasy and the tamarind sauce is good. The okay: the kati roll was interesting as it's a paratha roll with egg. If you aren't a fan of raw onions, maybe ask for them on the side. The Thali plate was ok, we tires the saag paneer and the chana masala. The plate comes with a lentil soup which was really greasy and not our favorite.

Combo dish: chili chicken and lamb curry.
Denise M.

Mint Indian Eatery is a small, simple and inexpensive Indian restaurant. Came here Sunday for lunch, was surprised just how small and empty the restaurant was but impressed with the cleanliness and simplicity. Ordered the combo with lamb curry and chicken chili with rice and a side of dal (complimentary). Could have added the Samosa for $2.00 but I was not interested. The lamb was great! Tender good size chunks of soft lamb, honestly surprised by the amount of lamb. The chicken chili was something I'd never had before so can't compare but thought it was rather salty for my taste with a hint of sweet and spicy. The red peppers were good, the chicken was coated with something I couldn't identify, possibly chickpea flour or wheat flour. I didn't ask if it was gluten free. My fault. Wouldn't order it again. Over all for $13.00 I was happy the lamb curry, would definitely get it. There are a lot more options to choose from next time. The staff person who took my order was super nice and worried when I asked about spice level, nice to know you can adjust the levels. Next time I'd personally increase the spice. Large portions, good food and nice staff. Can't ask for more!

I have not had Indian in over a year, so this was a real treat. I ordered the Tandoori chicken,…read more & my friend got butter chicken. Came w/ rice and we split one naan . I also got a $4 cup of Lipton tea. Everything was delicious ! Not overly salty , minimal spice. If I had to add one bad thing, the percentages on the tips, off the receipt was elevated. I always thought numbers were universal? Waitress super nice, I seriously cannot wait to go back . PS portion size was enough for two IMO.

When we arrived, the man hosting took our order and immediately pointed out that gratuity was already included because "people often come, eat, and don't leave a tip." While we completely agree that servers deserve to be tipped for delivering exceptional service, being lectured about it before we even received our food felt incredibly unprofessional and unwelcoming. To make matters worse, the food did not live up to our last visit. We used to love when the meats were served in silver trays for family-style sharing. This time, my goat curry was served in a single bowl with a tiny portion--literally only 3 pieces of goat--making it impossible to even share a bite with my mom. To top it off, the curry completely lacked authenticity and just tasted like plain tomato sauce. We also ordered garlic naan, but it came out so well-done it felt like hard toast bread. To his credit, he did take the naan off the bill. Before realizing how bad the dine-in food would be, I had ordered a chicken tikka masala to go. When I got home and tried it, it had absolutely no flavor. I don't know what changed over the last couple of months, but the old menu and quality were a million times better. We left hungry and highly disappointed.

The dipping sauce was good as well, possibly a mint-like flavor. The pork momos were really good too, with nice crimping on the skin and decent fillings inside. The chicken vindaloo was decent, though I might have liked more specificity to the flavoring of the vindaloo. The potatoes were nicely textured. The chicken bites were a bit large, they could have been chopped up a bit. The gorkhali khasi (a goat curry) was fairly decent with tender nice pieces. The flavoring was oversalted and again could have used a tad more definition. The bone-in aspect was appreciated as it held the flavor of the meat. The bhindi masala (okra) was fairly successful with a solid infusion of flavor into the okra. The dish was overall too oily though and some steps need to be taken to minimize the oil. All in all quite enjoyable!

They cannot handle the amount of orders, and it creates a horrible customer experience for most. They do their best, hence the 3 star. They served us our actual dishes, plus fresh appetizer.

This time around, Surya have leaned into their heritage and gone completely vegetarian; they are now the only completely vegetarian restaurant in Cambridgeport. My vegan bestie always appreciates the wide selection of offerings when she comes to visit. Adding dosa to the menu may have been their smartest move yet. Dosa Factory in Central Square closed during the pandemic and never reopened. Surya rightly filled in this gap, offering not only dosa but every kind of Indian snack you can imagine. The old menu was mostly filled with heavy foods eaten at a sit-down meal. All the old favorite vegetarian/ vegan entrees are still there, but now you can order much lighter fare like dosa, uttapam, and idly with all manner of toppings and fillings. They've repurposed their small sitting area with hi-top tables and tall bar chairs, making the interior of this little spot more elegant than it's ever been in any iteration since the greasy spoon that was there when I moved here in 2008. Now the space is still welcoming, but more geared toward customers wanting to stop for a yummy snack and continue on your way. The options are a bit dizzying, but Surya did this last time they launched a new menu and seemed to streamline the selection after getting a sense of the most popular items. I've tried a couple of different dosa-- one with the classic Pav Bhaji Masala filling and one with a fave of mine, Baigan Barta. The wetter filling of Baigan Barta did make the dosa soggy and require use of a fork and knife even though I picked up the dosa promptly and I live right around the corner. As the crispiness is one of the elements that make dosa so appealing, I think I will stick more to the classic toppings. But there are so many of them, it will take me a month or two to try them all! I also had a paneer and tomato uttapam, basically an Indian pancake. When breakfast for dinner is on your mind, reach for a yummy uttapam! Both dosa and uttapam come with chutneys and sambar (lentil soup) that's way more flavorful and veggie-packed than Dosa Factory's ever was. It's spicy but not so much that you can't pick up on the umami flavors. The usual desserts like mango lassi and Kheer are still available to cool your palate after the meal. Of course it's all served with Surya's characteristic friendliness and good humor that you'll only find at a family business. I have yet to try the Indian Chinese offerings, but I've heard good things about this fusion cuisine. After I've tried a couple of dishes, I'll post another update!
