The neighborhood is so lucky that Mint is here! I went to Mint Indian Eatery last night with my partner to try out the new place and we were NOT disappointed. The Himalayan street food style cuisine is incredibly tasty, the atmosphere is cozy, and the owners and staff are extremely friendly. My partner and I both got Kati Rolls (mine the chana masala, hers the paneer tika masala), and we also shared an order of chicken mo mo's. The roll ups were deliciously spiced and filled well, and the mo mo's were the best I have had in the area. The roll ups were a little on the small side, though the price of $6 makes it hard to complain. It gave us a great excuse to share an order of mo mo's! We also had the mango lassi, which was delicious and sweet (but thankfully, not too sweet). I will definitely be there again (and again!). read more

Ordered through Grubhub. Took a long time so both naan bread were soggy and not warm. A few items missing from the orders as well. Food was quite nice but left with a bad experience. Will try again. read more

This is probably our favorite place to order take out after a hangover! I always get one of the curries - you can't go wrong !

This place rocks! MO:MO: is outstanding!!! Steamed and chili. Really excellent. Kati rolls also very good. Spicer chicken or chicken tikka both are excellent. Super friendly folks, great prices and free tea. It's a win!! read more

Tried chicken Lollipop.. not happy .. may be because I had imagined something different.. thought it's grilled but fried with thick layer of some flour.. so it turned out bad.. giving it another try.. ordered a dahi poori.. let's see read more

Mint Indian Eatery - Mango Lassi! - Indian Near Me - Somerville, Massachusetts

See all

Just ordered the takeout via DoorDash.... They have the food packaging down to the science, the containers that holds the food are a perfect fit, bravo!! Most of the local area restaurants need to learn and review their Food Packing skills from Mint. The food..... Spectacular! Flavorful punch on each bite of juicy Momo ( the sauce served was exactly how it's done in fast food joints in Nepal) thanks for nailing it!! Chicken Pakoras were great too... Not over done with the batter, yet very tasty and good finger bite sized. Kati roll, oh well if this was in NYC; Kati Roll company would have a head to head competition. Well done, and keep it real!! read more

Everything was kind of bitter--the paneer cheese, the Tikka Masala sauce, and the lamb dumplings were kind of tasteless with a bad sauce. The Nan was not real Nan but some greasy tortilla-like mess. Disappointed. read more

This is the closest you will ever get to Indian street food in the Cambridge/Somerville Area. Beautifully cooked momos, fried rice, and the noodles leave you wanting for more. Not the healthiest but I don't think you'd be reading about this place if you were concerned about your 6 pack. Addictive stuff! read more

I'm a basic bitch so I get chicken tikka masala. It's dope, portions are large. Samosas are dope too. Can't go wrong.

Diluted rajma, Cream loaded paneer. Raw gobhi in aloo gobhi entree. Thali is served in take out containers. I dont know how this place gets good review. read more

This place is a hidden gem. The service is quick, friendly, and polite, the food is inexpensive (plus you get a discount if you are a Tufts student), and there's a decent variety of options. I had the veggie momo (dumplings) and the chicken chili kati roll. Both were made with fresh ingredients and a lot of flavor. It literally took 10 mins after ordering, and we were offered water and the cashier checked in on us while we waited. Definitely a good place to sit down and eat, or get take out! read more

I've tried a lot of the vegetarian dishes and I don't have a particular favorite, but all the food I've had here is delicious!! I've never had raita with such an incredibly complex flavor before. The delivery person is always really nice and the food always arrives quickly. read more

Place was empty at 6 pm. Bad sign. I tried it anyway. Food was decent, but price is quite high in my opinion for such a little casual takeout type place that has no atmosphere and plastic utensils. They don't even give bread for free along with the $13.00 entree. read more

What a great taste! I have picked up some food from this place and its always ready early.

Good food at affordable price and fast service. Would recommend to visit once and enjoy the food.

Overpriced! The food presentation was lacking. I am very disappointed considering how much I love Indian food.

This is the best Indian food in town. We love the haaka noodles, biryani, pappudum (?), samosas and chutneys. The price point is also very reasonable. read more

The food has been very tasty with authentic flavors. To be honest it's the only place around that I like. Food comes in thalis with two options. I wish it came with a little bread. Samosa chat has everything you want and each of the many ingredients tastes good. The chicken tikka masala has depth to it and isn't just watery cream and tomato sauce. Same with the paneer tikka masala. The kathi rolls are okay. The rolls itself is kind of thin and for delivery it gets soggy and unappetizing. Perhaps pack the roll and filling separately? I'm sure it's better at the restaurant, it just wasn't very tasty (regardless of being soggy). They don't have any breads on their menu but they have always been happy to add a side of paratha (same that's used in kathi roll) for $2. I wish they had multi layered thicker paratha (laccha) The only real criticism I had is that I once ordered chicken tikka masala and the paneer tikka masala at the same time and the paneer tikka masala had much less flavor than the chicken. This was the only time that it's been less than fantastic. I hope they continue to maintain quality because my other favorite restaurants near by are either shut down due to a pipe bursting or just have lost the proper flavors. read more

This place has some of the best Indian food I have had. The daal the chicken tikka masala and the other dishes we ordered were all fresh and had the perfect combination of spices. The place is located just a few blocks from Tufts University so it is a great stop if you are in the area. My only mild compliant was the rice was slightly undercooked. We went there twice because we liked it so much. However, even after asking them to cook the rice properly it seems that the rice was still a bit undercooked. Other then that the food itself was amazing. Maybe next time just let them know to cook the rice a litle more. Otherwise great! read more

Ordered the following for takeout: Chili Paneer Kati - 4/5 great taste. A little soggy Chicken Tikka Masala - 2/5 too sweet, lacked flavor Plain Paratha - 0/0 bad taste. Very dry (stale) read more

I tried this restaurant, which is a bit farther from my house than my old Indian go-to because my old standby recently shut down. I was not disappointed! The house curry with chicken was delicious - not spicy, but subtly complex and tasty (with a nice curry leaf, cardamom, other typical flavors very nicely blended), and the chicken just fell apart. The chili lamb momo were a perfect level of spice, but had lots of flavor, both in the chili sauce and the filling. This will definitely be one of my new go-to's when I'm not cooking! read more

Really great Indian food where spicy actually means spicy. It's affordable and delicious!

Awesome place which really adds to the food scene in Powderhouse square. I got the chili chicken roll, which turned out to be a little smaller than I expected (but it was only $6). It was delicious and the vegetables really added! The only improvement I can think of would be to make it spicier. read more

Stopped here for a quick afternoon snack of bhel puri. It was fresh and crunchy and delicious, and it was also a very generous portion. I'll come back to try some of their other offerings next time I'm in the area. read more

Ordered pick up and it was made quickly. The food is delicious, some of the best Indian food I've ever tasted. I got the chicken korma and palak paneer and my friend had the aloo gobi and paneer tikka masala and it was all amazing. We were very happy to find a restaurant that you could do a combo platter with 2 different dishes. The mo-mo dumplings were great and the sauce they came with is divine. I would definitely recommend this restaurant! read more

Food is good but service needs serious improvement. The girl who took my order was literally angry while taking the order. Served me the food in takeout containers without any fork, knife or plate. I requested for hot sauce which was completely ignored. I had to go back to the counter to get a plastic plate and a fork. Probably good for take out only. read more

The food is amazing. The delivery service is not. I routinely see 1+ hour wait times. I called after 90 minutes once and they clearly forgot the order. Took a total of 2 hours. On a Tuesday. read more

Had an office lunch catered by Mint, and it was fantastic. I'm normally an Indian buffet kind of guy and find that most places are alright, but it all tastes pretty much the same to me. But the food from Mint absolutely stood out and was way superior than any other Indian food I've had. The chicken chili momos were delicious. read more

This is the place to go if you want just good simple Indian food. The Kati rolls - I usually get the Paneer Tikka Masala roll is mouth watering. Their samosa chaat is well made and the thali is well proportioned. The service is always friendly and I am glad that they are close enough that we have become regulars here! read more

Good place for a quick bite. Good to have places like this representing Nepali food. Momos are awesome and great value for money

Best tasting Indian food so far in the greater Boston area for me. The menu is largely limited to a subset of India street foods but the selection is exciting enough and also all meat they use is halal. The samosa chaat and momos I had exceeded expectations, the complimentary masala chai was pretty good as well. The portions sizes are very good for the price. will definitely be returning here. read more

There are giant pieces of cardemum pods and other hard pieces of spices in my rice which aren't very good to eat. :(

By far the best indian place in the area. Masala can't compete, Guru the Caterer can't compete. Their masala sauce is the creamiest, most delicious, and they have awesome combo options. Really hope they aren't closed!!! read more

One review said that Mint Indian's food was delicious but they didn't like that they served their food in plastic containers. If anything, this makes me like Mint Indian even more: It adds to the aesthetic of a bare-bones place that doesn't care about presentation and puts all their energy into their food. The people here are really friendly; it's a small, quiet, low-key place, but there are always tables available. The Thali combos ($11) let you choose 2 out of 12 dishes, which comes with dal and rice. This is basically the Indian version of Panera's "Pick 2," and it's a game changer: Usually I have to convince several people to get Indian with me to try several dishes. The chicken saag and spicy crispy chicken are especially good. Also, the free chai tea is a really nice touch. The momos are great too, and I'm not even sure where else you can get those. Finally, there's free parking nearby. If you have a car or around the area, you have to try this place. read more

The naan chaat is delicious, as are the lamb and chilli buffalo momo. Delivery was on time and the food was excellent.

My husband and happened upon this little gem while vacationing in Boston. The food is delicious and very affordable. We appreciated the fast service and friendly faces. We wish we lived closer so we could become regulars here! Highly recommended. read more

Popped in for a quick late takeout and everything we got was solid to very good. Tikka masalas were great.

Great Indian food! I highly recommend stopping in if you're in the area. Their chicken tikka has an original taste. The restaurant is small and not formal but that's how I like it. The staff are friendly and welcome you! read more

This place runs low on competence. 7pm: placed order on eat24 8:30pm: called the restaurant to be told that my order was out for delivery. 9pm: called again to be told that they never received my order. 9:05pm: talked to eat24 customer service. They said the order was received by the restaurant. Cancelled the order, got my refund and decided to never order from this place again. read more

I'd like to give a shoutout to mint for being amazing and consistent and not shaming me for ordering the same exact thing every time and accepting my need for samosas. The naan is lighter than other places but I love it. And the tikka is super creamy, perfect for a comfort meal. If you actually put on pants and go to the restaurant, you get free tea! read more
