Wow! Delicious Indian food with both North and South Indian options. I happened in by myself just a few minutes before closing, but they were very nice and seated me even though the kitchen was about to close. The veggie samosas were amazing! Crispy outside, not the more common soft outside, flavorful filling. And huge portion. Two very large samosas were more appropriate for two to split the appetizer portion. Garlic nan was fabulous. Because it was late i I got something quick which was chicken tiki masala. Excellent! Perfect rich creamy sauce with very tender pieces of chicken. Staff was super friendly and welcoming. I'll definitely be back if I'm ever back to Denver! read more

Food was ok. Got quite a bit of rice. Order vindaloo chicken and tandoori chicken. The portion of the protein is just not a lot when you charge $19 for each entree. Chicken is cheap so it is expected to give more chicken in these dishes!! So my Tandoori chicken, which tasted ok, not too bad but just added peeeeesss n carrots! Well guess what?!?! 6 pieces!!! a few thighs and legs! Guess what?!?!? that's gonna cost you 19 bucks! wow they are making a killing in profit at this joint!!! read more

Went here with my coworkers during a conference lunch break. It's located in Downtown Denver and they have a lunch special buffet. I'm no stranger to Indian buffets since NorCal has an abundance of them, but this buffet was just alright. Restaurant is a bit aged but you can tell it's been in business for awhile. Buffett itself is a bit small, but it gets the job done. It's a lot of the same rice dishes, curries, veggies and meat with sauce. Chicken was a bit dry, so was the naan bread. Rice had some parts hard and uncooked, and others dry, but that went fine with the curry. I think the main issue was that I had to use the shared restroom in the back area and I saw the male staff workers go in and out of the ladies room and I'm not sure if they were cleaning or what was going on, but I figured just to hold it until I got back to the conference. When me and another customer tried asking about it those workers just shrugged and went back to the main area to work. There aren't that many food options within walking distance but there are other options. read more

This place is our weekly go to for authentic Indian food! You can request the spice level that suits you and the flavors are amazing Definitely recommend! read more

Service was friendly and attentive. Ambiance is good. Extensive menu. The food was very good. The samosas were large, slightly spicy and flaky. The surf and turf had excellent shrimp but the lamb was chewy. Tiki chicken masala was flavorful. We ordered medium but maybe should have gone mild. The lamb Saagwala was very good and lamb was tender. Rice was over cooked but the naan was excellent. We had regular and an order of garlic. Lunch buffet would have been a great option at $17.95 a person. Our dinner bill was $77 plus tip. read more

Thanks to my Yelp friend who suggested this place before the show (we have tix to) at the Performing Arts Center 5 minutes away from this restaurant. She said she had dine here once before and enjoyed their food tremendously. She also remembered that the service was also quick. We couldn't think of any better place than this. I was the first one to arrive out of the 4-people group and the time was around 4:45pm. The dining was empty with no diners. The guy who greeted me promptly seated me in a spacious enough 4-people table. The interior (overall) looks dated and old but was clean. One thing I noticed about the place (as soon as I stepped in) was this pleasant smell in the spacious dining room. I couldn't make of it as to what. No musty smell typical in an old(er) looking places such as this. Their menu is quite massive. I didn't bother to take photos of the pages but the entree section lists variety of dishes with detailed descriptions of the ingredients. And they are considerably marked with * (this indicates "house favorite"), V (for Vegan or Vegetarian) etc. It's almost guaranteed that you WILL find at least a handful of dishes you can comfortably eat. Once the second person arrived, we decided to order (we had a show to catch). Since I told her I couldn't decide on as to which (there are so many intriguing dishes on the menu), she and I decided to order two entrees to split. The guy said we would get a large bowl of rice to share between the two dishes. And a plate of garlic naan to enhance the whole experience (you got to have a naan at an Indian place, right?) The two entree we ordered were 1) Baigan Bhertha (traditional vegetarian dish with pureed or stewed eggplant being one of the main ingredients. Excellent dish to order alongside a dish that has meat. Now what I noticed when I got home to look at the receipt was it was rung up as "Baigare Baigan" which is a very similar dish with eggplant being the main ingredient. I think what we got is/was the correct one (Baigan Bhertha) because Baigare Baigan has dash of peanut which I don't think I tasted any of it in it. Both are at the same price of $16.95 (as of early October 2025). Maybe the guy was in a hurry by ringing it up as Baigare Baigan. Whatever the case may be, we LOVED the dish. 2) Chicken Tikka Masala. Very popular dish that many order. Like I said, it became a nice companion alongside the vegetarian dish (Baigan Bhertha). It's always nice to order one vegetarian dish and a dish with meat. The nice contrast we tasted in both dishes entertained our palates. We placed each on a piece of garlic naan (by the way, we enjoyed the naan. Somewhat thin but this made it easy for us to place a few spoonfuls of the main dishes and made a wrap type thing to savor it.) I feel like it was the best Masala I've had (if it's not the best, it's one of the best for certain.) The third person in our group arrived 30 minutes into our dining around 5:30pm. She ordered one of the Paneer dishes (in a light-yellow colored curry; don't know the exact name of the dish.) She let me taste it and this also is/was a solid dish. Hers was made with medium heat (whereas ours were made mild.) I'm not much of a "heat" person and yet the medium wasn't too spice/hot for my palate; I could have easily done medium for our main dishes as well. The guy was busy as he was the only one who was serving the entire place (just so you know, the restaurant started to be filled with people past 6pm.) He was efficient though. And pleasant and professional to add more about the way he was. In conclusion: If I think of Indian food, I will waste no time and go here going forward. This place is solid for every aspect of what a restaurant should have. Like I said earlier, it's not fancy-looking place but which one would you choose, okay-looking interior but with great food or great ambiance but mediocre or not so great food? You know the answer. read more

First night in Denver and was looking for a quick late-night spot to grab to go. Haven't had Indian food in ages and this place popped up. I ordered the Samosas, Garlic Naan, Chicken Tikka Missala comes with Rice, and everything was a hit! I did order the Missala too spicy for my liking, but that was my mistake. I ordered mild spicy, but it had a good kick to it. Samosas and the side sauce it came with were great as well. Staff was nice. Food was ready in 10 minutes. Great spot in the CBD area to check out. read more

Great food, great service, no wait time. I had the biryani which actually can feed two people.

This place is outstanding! Amazing food, staff and service. 10/10 would make this a regular spot to eat.

We tried this restaurant back in 2019 and thought it was ok but wanted to give them a try again. Oh no, not good tonight. They were not busy and the food came so quick they must have had it already prepared. The dishes were very bland and tasteless. The kofta balls also were burnt and over cooked. Not at all edible. Overall, not much flavor or spice as we ordered it medium. The prices were also high for what you got. The overall feel was quite rundown and dark. We will not be returning again. read more

Back on Denver again and while you'd think would have a discussion of "where for dinner?" But no. Right back to the Mint. Such a great selection of food options we always order more than can eat (but happy to have tomorrow's lunch already taken care of). Outstanding service with wonderful answers to any questions and helpful suggestions from friendly cheerful staff. Great place. Try it, but bet warned, after you've eaten here once you'll be limiting your dinner options in the future because Mint'll always be near top of potentials.. read more

Recently, I came in to pick up my online order at this restaurant close to 630 pm on a week night. Upon entering the door, there's a sign stating to wait there before being seated. To be respectful, I stood by the sign for a couple of minutes before one of their staff member approached me. I noticed there was only one table occupied in the entire restaurant on this week night. I showed the staff member my order info on my phone screen and he then turned around to grab the order by the kitchen area- located far back from where I was standing. After grabbing my order, the same staff member addressed me in a rude tone to walk back there and get it from him. I verified with him in a confused manner, that he wanted me to walk all the way back by the kitchen area and grab the order from him there? In response, he walked back towards me and placed my order a few feet away from me on a table and then told me to grab it from there- while he was glaring at me. Being very confused with his rudeness and him placing the order on a table away from me, I verified from him if that actually was my order to take. In response, he rudely asked me to click on the 'pickup confirmation' tab on my app. This gentleman is a short height individual with mustache and wear glasses. It's a shame that after being an on-going guest of this establishment for almost 10 years, the actions of this one rude staff member have destroyed the hard work of all those employees- who worked very hard over the years to provide with consistent quality experiences. The two stars are only for the quality of food prep from the back of the house team, and other staff members from past, whose hard work is completely ruined by this individual. read more

We stopped in for a weekday lunch to try their Lunch Buffet. The buffet is from Monday-Friday,11AM-2:30PM ... not a bad price of $17.95 for all-you-can eat! The long & narrow dining room is primarily decorated in mint green & red. Hence the name of the restaurant, "Mint". There's plenty of seating on the main level & some upstairs, as well as at the bar. When we arrived a lot of the tables were already filled with customers. Soft Indian music was playing in the background. Our Server was attentive & friendly, refilling our water glasses numerous times. As far as parking, there is a convenient parking garage directly across the street & metered parallel street parking. The buffet was a simple, no frills presentation of many Indian dishes. There were two buffet tables, one with rice(s) & entree items, the other was a very minimal salad bar & I think a couple of dessert puddings. I pretty much tried a little of everything, other than the desserts. Unfortunately, the food temperature was luke warm & the spice level was too hot for my palate. The spiciness made it difficult for me to know what the dishes tasted like. From the salad bar I had lettuce, carrots & cucumbers with Thousand Island Dressing, The salad dressing was watery & had very little flavor. In addition, our Server brought us Naan Bread - it was delicious & a great way to sop up the sauces! read more

Great selection on the menu and wonderful service. My friend had the Alo Saag with chicken and potatoes, I had chicken vindaloo, and mixed vegetable pokara - all excellent! The bathroom - weird. You have to get a key and walk down a hallway and out the exit door and down another hallway to a locked multi stall public bathroom. What an experience. read more

I stumbled upon this awesome Indian restaurant just three blocks from the Colorado convention center. we went around 12:30 we were seated immediately. The location includes seating in the bar. we were just in time for the, which included Tikka marsala, curried chicken, lentil, soup, two rices, vegetable, biryani, salad, and more. I tried a little bit of almost everything. I thought that the Teka marsala and curry chicken were the best options, but could've used a little more heat, as I like mine to be on the spicer side. If I am ever in Denver for a conference, I'll be back. This family business was responsive and a nice respite from the crowds of the conference. read more

MUST TRY SPOT !!! I am so surprised that there is really good and spicy Indian food in Downtown Denver! This is a block away from the Colorado Convention Center. I came for their lunch buffet and everything was AMAZING! I loved their vegetarian basmati rice (good spice), their chicken Marsala was sooo creamy and delicious, and they also had a red chicken that had such a good kick to it. The food made my nose runny so you know it has that good type of spice kick to it! The food was made fresh and kept coming out! The service was good, and the restaurant was spacious and clean. Please come here if you're ever in the area and craving good Indian food!!! Everything is so delicious!! read more

Given that there very limited Indian dining options open for lunch in downtown I am rounding up from the 3.5 star rating to a 4. My colleague and I went for the lunch buffet which had a decent selection, flavor profile was good. Would've liked to see gulab jaman and a more authentic rice pudding. The biggest miss was the service asking for naan or a different seat with a booth felt like pulling teeth. Overall the food was decent but service was meh. Ambiance is ok, feels a little dated. read more

Mint was a great place to go for lunch with a medium-sized group (8 people) during a large conference at the Sheraton. The restaurant offers an all-you-can-eat lunch buffet ($20) with a wide range of offerings, including a chicken vindaloo, palak paneer, dhal makhni, quorma, popcorn chicken, a chicken roast, and 5-6 other dishes. The chicken is halal. Staff was kind and atmosphere was humble in a very spacious room. read more

Mint Indian Restaurant & Lounge - mango lassi, room - Indian Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Popped in to this location for dinner while traveling. I was excited to try a new cuisine but was a bit disappointed in the flavors. Upon entering I found the location to be dark, confusing, and a little disheveled. Since I ordered to go I stepped out to grab a few items from across the street. When I returned there was confusion on who took my order and what I ordered. It eventually worked out. I ordered to go excited to eat some of my usuals. The flavors were bland and the love that is usually felt in Indian food was missing. The best part of the meal was the naan. Definitely would not return. read more

The food on the buffet is quite good. There was a decent amount of selection both vegetarian and with chicken. There was also a decent amount of spice in the dishes. If it isn't spicy enough look for the little bowl of red homemade hot sauce. It packs a punch!!!! I really enjoyed the lentils, the spinach paneer, and the spicy chicken. The naan was also delicious. The mint sauce and raita were also great condiments. The price was reasonable. The service was not necessarily bad but not really great either. I would highly recommend it for buffets! read more

They have the most delicious tandoori roti I've ever had in the US. I thought the eggplant in the baigare baingan needed to be cooked more, but the flavors were utterly phenomenal -- again, reminded me of eating in India -- and same for the other entrees we ordered. Service was also really quick, and appreciated the chef coming out personally to check in. read more

The food is very well prepared and authentic. They recommended good dishes as well. Service staff are very friendly.

100% yes!!! First let's start with I am pretty judgmental with my food. Especially when I am ordering for someone who has a different dietary style as I do for eating. I walked past them at 4 PM when I first got to downtown. You could smell the food from outside and it was beyond heavenly. I made sure to let my sister and a friend know I was going there that night. I purposely went in two hours before closing to have a drink at the bar, and to order my food. They made me a Moscow Mule, which was amazing. And then I ordered veggies, samosas, chicken, vindaloo, and. Saag ‍ I should've called back and asked if God was whipping it up in the kitchen because somebody's hands were truly blessed. I will be back. read more

After just moving to Colorado, Indian food was one of the first things that my girlfriend and I had to find! This was our first stop and it's going to be hard to top. First, the food was amazing - I ordered the tandoori platter and my partner ordered the chicken tikka masala, which were both great - cooked well, good portions, and great leftovers! Second was the service. Our server was great and he recommended a great beer to go with dinner. And the atmosphere was quiet, but not stuffy - if that makes sense. Overall I definitely recommend this location for some good Indian food if you're nearby! read more

First, the food was really good. We ordered 4 different dishes, (all vegetarian), and enjoyed them all. The service was quick, friendly, and attentive. The reason for the 3 stars is that there were a few small mice running around the front of the restaurant. We alerted the staff, who were aware of the problem, stating that they were treating the issue. The weather was cold outside, and mice are known to seek shelter/etc. but this is concerning. I do hope it will be resolved soon because I would hate for it to damage the reputation of this good place. read more

Ordered food to go from here a couple of weeks ago based off of the great reviews and it was just alright. We got chicken tikka masala and hummus. The tikka masala was pretty good and had some decent flavor. The hummus was not good at all and it tasted more like a spicy mustard so we couldn't eat more than 1 bite. If you're in the neighborhood and looking for somethin to eat, I would probably not order the hummus and instead try the tikka masala or curry. read more

Probably my worst dining experience ever: Mint Indian Restaurant And Lounge. I was visiting Denver recently for a conference, and some colleagues wanted to try Indian food, so we went to this restaurant for lunch. We all paid separately, but while reviewing my transactions later, I noticed that I was charged for two buffets instead of one. When I called the restaurant today to request a refund, the same Nepali man who was at the cash counter answered the phone. He refused to acknowledge that I had even paid with my card. I offered to send my transaction history as proof, but he dismissed it and said, "If it's not here, it didn't happen." When I pressed further, he told me to send the information to the email listed on the website. I asked for the name and contact number of the person handling billing issues, and after thinking for a bit, he said his name is John and that he's currently on vacation. I asked for the manager's contact number, and he refused to provide it. I then asked when the manager is usually at the restaurant--he claimed from 9 to 4:30, but also said he wasn't there right now. At every point, his answers sounded evasive and dishonest. I will be disputing the charge with my bank, but I wanted to share my experience. I've never come across a more unprofessional or shady business in North America. read more
