I think this place was amazing. It was super packed and we ordered really good food. The service was fast as well and the ambiance is amazing. It reminds you of back home. The karahi had a very tomatoy taste kind of like they just put tomato paste and didn't cook it correctly, but I would recommend!! read more

Hands down one of my favorite restaurants. We try to visit once a month. Service is first class and the restaurant decor is so simple yet elegant and eclectic at the same time. Food is faultless, so I was hesitant to leave a review because if it gets too popular, you know.... Anyway I want to stay in business for a very long time so I'd rather wait for a table. It's so good. read more

I've been here easily 10 times and each time there is no difference in service, food quality & amazing time They catered my wedding 6 months ago and I believe this is my favorite desi and top 3 all time restaurants of all time read more

The ambiance to the place is cozy and elevated. I'm happy that there is an Indian Restaurant in south OC which is rare to find that also taste amazing. The servers were very helpful and sweet! They recommend most our dishes and my fave dish was the curry shrimp and Dahi puri read more

Had lunch to celebrate Father's Day and what a treat everything was delish and the service was kind Will definetly come back read more

The food and mocktails here are amazing along with the service/ambiance. Definitely worth trying if you love Indian food. The only caveat is they don't have a liquor license. read more

I have so far only tried their small bite appetizers, so having not tried any mains you can trust my review maybe 75 percent ok? As of what I've had, the kitchen delivered tasty things all around. The food was flavorful and not too inventive. The owner is friendly and quick to serve. Inside, their decor is dark, candlelit and tidy. Some Indian restaurants I find to be really overrun by music playing far too loudly. Here, yes there's music and the expected music video playing, but it's not as overwhelming. This may be a repeat place, glad to say. read more

Mint - Inside about an hour till closing time - Indian Near Me - Laguna Hills, California

The food before the reopening was excellent and served in large portions. Sadly, that is no longer the case. The food now comes in much smaller portions and is very expensive--we paid $186 for just two people! While the flavor was decent, the dishes were very greasy. It actually caused severe bloating and stomach aches for a couple of days afterward. I was really looking forward to enjoying their food again, but we will not be coming back. read more

Disappointed. My partner's meal arrived at least 15 minutes before mine. The food was mediocre, and was well above average in price for Indian food. I would not go back. read more

Ok, so here's the thing...... I am not a huge curry person, but I went to this establishment for something completely different. Yes, I tried their Chicken Curry, and Chicken Tiki Masala. OMG!!!! YUM!!! Yes, please try their food! Very good! I believe, in my opinion, this is the best Chicken Curry I've ever had in my life! The flavors bursting with delicious, spicy, and earthy goodness! If you want something different, the best curry, GO to Mint!!!! Perfect amount of spicy ingredients! The impeccable staff were very knowledgeable and friendly and super helpful. Excellent ABOVE and BEYOND customer service! I loved the layout of their restaurant, and authentic decor! Because of Mint, I'm now a curry fan!! Overall, my experience was phenomenal, and this place is BEYOND 5 STARS!!! I wasn't disappointed!! Book your reservation on OpenTable! Highly recommended! I'm definitely looking forward to going back, in the near future! LOVE!!!! What are you waiting for, Yelpers!!?!? Just GO!!! read more

The absolute best Indian cuisine I've ever had--rich, vibrant, and incredibly flavorful. The ambiance is elegant and inviting, with excellent service throughout. The drinks are exceptional as well. Although they don't serve alcohol, you honestly don't miss it at all. The non-alcoholic drinks are that good. I will definitely be coming back again and again. read more

I found this place when I went to get froyo froyo from the place next door last night and I smelt the food and knew I wanted to come here. The we got our food to go and it was packed very securely. Food was delicious and the staff were friendly. The interior of the restaurant is very cool looking and modern with nice moody lighting. I think next time we'll eat inside instead of to go :) read more

Beautiful! First time visiting since the remodel- celebrated my sisters bday there The drinks are pricey but delicious and well presented All the food we had was delicious - the waiter later told us you can custom order certain dishes by request - like if you want a certain kind of meet and/or veggie combo The decor was subtle yet beautiful and especially loved the hallway in front of the bathroom as a photo op area Wished they had brought out the dessert we ordered with a little candle or something for my sisters day- I told them at the time of the reservation and on the side before ordering the dessert - If they don't do that kind of thing that's fine - just would have been nice to communicate read more

The Chicken Karahi is a THE PLATE. Some of the dishes are a little out of the norm for my taste palate but the Samosa and Chicken Karahi were next level. They own a spot in Fullerton with star rated Michellin Chef who uses the same recipes for this restaurant. It shows becuase the presentation and the flavors were next level. Like any resaturant, look at pictures, choose according to your liking. Its one of the very few places in the Aliso/Laguna that hits different ! read more

If you want Indian & Pakistani food that you can't get anywhere else in South OC, look no further. For starters, try the samosas, perfect balance of flavor and spice. My favorite plate by far is the Karahi Goat. Tender, insane amount of flavor, spicy and quite possibly the most sophisticated plate on the menu. Its absolutely phenomenal! To put the cherry on the cake, the ambiance and service are fantastic as well! read more

We have been here a few times and food has been consistently good every single time. That's why we keep coming back and always introduce this place to our friends and families who are craving for good indian cuisine. Almost always we will start off with Bandar bun - a very unique appetizer that I have never seen anywhere else. And we had the samosa chaat too. Quite a common dish in any indian restaurant, but I like how they make it here. A lil bit of sweet and sour from the sauce, and mild spice from the samosa just did it for me. And becoz we had 2 guests for dinner with us, we ordered 1 dish from different meat category so they could try them out. We had lamb chops, goat karahi, shrimp coconut curry, chicken briyani, garlic naan and bhindi masala. They were all divine! My guests went home stomach happy and since they brought home the leftovers from the dinner, I'm pretty sure they were happy with their breakfast today. My biggest sin was that we were enjoying the food so much last night, we totally forgot to take pictures! read more

We stumbled upon this restaurant on accident and it is our new favorite. The food was amazing! I can't recommend their chai enough, it was so smooth and flavorful. We also really enjoyed the chicken korma and the lamb seekh kabob. The interior was super cute. They had a movie projected on a brick wall and it really added such a unique look to the room. The servers were very nice and we had a great time. We will definitely be back! read more

I am so glad to have discovered this restaurant through a friend. There aren't any good Indian or Pakistani restaurants in south Orange County. This one is by far the best in the area. The goat karahi is outstanding. read more

From the moment I walked in, the staff greeted me with genuine warmth and hospitality that immediately set the tone for the evening. We sampled several dishes to really get a sense of the menu. The chicken tikka masala, goat biryani, garlic naan, lamb seekh Kabob, and Samosa Chaat were the highlights for me. Overall, everything tasted fresh, authentic, and clearly made with care.

The food was excellent and the restaurant was very clean. Authentic Indian cuisine. A bit on the high end but very tasty. A lot of customers were Indian. Proof to the quality and consistency of the dishes. Loved it. read more

Has been and is still my favorite Indian. Spicy coconut shrimp curry is my fave. Friendly service ALWAYS, and remodeled

food was really good & great unusual presentation! Making you feel like going back again!

Really loved it...it's very hard to find a good Indian restaurant in South Orange county but this place i highly recommend!

Very disappointed that this restaurant went in violation of the health code to allow dogs in the indoor seating area. I heard a lady complain about the dog inside next to the food and staff told her these people had reserved in advance so they allowed it! It was NOT a service dog and was jumping and shedding inside the restaurant! Especially for being a halal restaurant, it is very sad that they are committing health code violations in order to accommodate a dog, creating a very unsanitary environment. This is not acceptable at any other restaurant and in violation of CA laws. I am warning family and friends who recommended this spot. read more

What a great surprise. We used to live in LA where there are a lot of great Indian food restaurants. Mint was a surprise! The food was awesome, nice servers as well, beautiful little restaurant. Well done! read more

10/10 restaurant and an ever bigger plus that it's halal. Came here for a birthday dinner during Ramadan, romantic lighting, comfortable seats, and fantastic food. We loved the chicken tıkka masala (best ever) with garlic naan bread and rice. My husband got the chicken biryani and really liked it - I wasn't the fan because it was spicy. Also the mocktails are fun and taste amazing! read more

Reopened after a long closure, Mint is back with gusto. Serving up North Indian favorites, this reopening of Mint reinvigorates the South Asian food scene in South OC. The interior has been reimagined into a chiq 1970s retro vibe, with old Hindi movies projected on a brick wall and background Hindi songs from the same era. The decor and vibe brings the diner to a differnt place and time. The service is fantastic. The host is prompt at getting you seated and the waiters are patient and knowledgable of the menu items. We got the Palak Paneer and Chiicken Tikka Masala. Both were delicious. They gave off an authentic North Indian taste. The last time I tasted Indian Food this great was in Old Delhi. Check out the Malai Naan. Indian cheese baked into bread is amazing! If you like Indian Food, you have to give this a go! read more

Mint - Our favorite family restaurant... - Indian Near Me - Laguna Hills, California

My first time coming to Mint, and every item on the menu was phenomenal - even though we accidentally ordered the wrong dish! Our server went above and beyond, not only replacing it but not charging us. He checked on us frequently, and everything was absolutely delicious. We will definitely be going back -- this place is a must-try restaurant! The ambience is adorable, and I'd even say it's better than many other places we've been read more

So I think I'm a regular at this point as I go there so frequently.. This has truly become one of my favorite restaurants for South Asian food in all of Southern California (from LA to SD). However I always end up getting the same 4 things (chicken karahi, goat karahi, goat biryani, and chana masala). This time I trued the regz AND samosa chaat, rasmalai, and rice pudding... and they were all great! I think I want to try all their items read more

Incredible dining experience. Let's start with the inviting, well- thought-out interior decor- it's inviting, it's vibey and it enhances your overall dining experience. Then there's the food that can transport you instantly to whatever happy place you have. The Chicken Karahi, one of their most popular dishes is a perfecr combination of flavors that works well together. It's savory, with just the right amount of kick. Lamb chops are soft,moist and tasty. Shrimp Coconut Curry was very delectable, as you can really taste the coconut flavor in it. It's very comforting. Everything was tasty and you can tell that they are all passionate with the dishes whenever they cook them. Highly recommended! read more

Absolute best Indian food around. We are a vegan family, and they have multiple amazing dishes available. The staff even offered recommendations on their non- vegan menu items so they could be vegan-friendly, which were also delicious. Mint is a family favorite now, we will visit often! They are often busy, so I recommend making a reservation. A good sign! read more

MINT IS BACK!! Y'all need to drop everything and make a reservation! Upon hearing about Mint's reopening, we canceled our plans for the day just to squeeze in a trip before leaving town. It's that good, seriously! I'd happily make another flight down from SF just to eat here. Every single thing on the menu is delicious! Even the most basic things like rice, somehow they get it to the perfect fluffiness, taste, and texture. I've been to restaurants across the country and several Michelin started restaurants, and for me Mint is still a class above some of them. Papadum and Chutneys - Perfect crispiness with a slight hint of cardamom/anise. All three chutneys were delicious, everyone at the table couldn't pick which one was best Naan - The best naan I've ever had is at Mint. It's soft and melt in your mouth, with a flaky crispy surface. It goes perfectly with the curries and dal Rice - Yeah I had to say something about the rice, because it was SO GOOD. It's perfectly fluffy, slightly spiced. Chicken Karahi - Even better than I remember, it has heat and is a little spicy, with a good lemon zing. Butter Chicken - SO MUCH FLAVOR! It has some heat but isn't too spicy. Try this with the naan! Dal tadkha - They really nailed this one! Its hard to find good dal since some places make it too watery, and others too spicy. Mint somehow found the Goldilocks zone on this with the perfect amount of heat and spice, without the lentils becoming mushy. Mint Lemonade - It's a really pretty cocktail, with the perfect balance of mint and lemon. Not too minty, and not too sour or sweet! Macaroni Jamun - This is a new addition to the menu and a perfect fusion of desserts! It's a gulab Jamun sandwiched between two macarons read more
