Mint

Will there be beef dishes and menu items?

Hi Yaya! Please refer to our website at https://mintdesikitchen.com/. Thank you.

Does anyone know how to get in contact with them or the owners?

They have reopened, so you can call them.

Will you be opening again? We miss your food!

They have reopened a couple of weeks ago. Same cook.

Is this place open these days?

They have reopened after the fire.

I see lots of people are complaining about its high-end price. I heard they offer lunch special. Is the price any better? If it is, how much?

This is a higher quality clean restaurant. And quality of their food are outstanding. One of a kind experience I had.

Is this location currently open?

It's closed as of now due to health hazard or something

I noticed that this restaurant is temporally closed, I think due to a fire next door. Does anyone know when the restaurant will reopen?

Closed due to fire and I think it's going to take a while to reconstruct

Lunch buffet? Tks

I'm sorry. We unfortunately don't have buffets here.

This used to be Mitzi's Kountry Kitchen, where did Mint start out?

The owner used to be a chef at Tamarind of Londond (in Newport Beach)

What days do you have the lunch buffet? What time is it available and how much does it cost?

They have buffet going on till June 15 th from 7 to 10 p.m all days only for $15.95

However, it didn't have that green onion fragrance that I was hoping for. It was covered in sesame seeds. So much so that the sesame seeds flavor was overpowering and I couldn't taste anything else. It wasn't crispy by itself, it was only slightly crispy due to the amount of sesame seeds there was. I also tried their Lunch Special: Dried Sautéed String Beans ($14.50) and Lunch Special: Lamb with Jalapeños ($15.50). The String Beans was not the flavor that I was expecting, they were very heavy-handed on the preserved veggie and it was way too salty. The Lamb was probably the best dish flavor wise. There wasn't enough Lamb, but the sauce was good to dip the bread in. The waiter who took my takeout order was very friendly. Overall, this is not a bad place, it just isn't for me.

If you want heavy-handed, deeply spiced Indian comfort food with great portions, this place is a total winner.

The beef koobideh had this smoky flavor profile, which is different from what I normally expect, and I liked it. Potato Boloni: I've never had boloni in my life, and the closest comparison I have is a Chinese or Korean pancake. The boloni had areas of spiciness, and I think it had room to go higher.

If you love fresh, flavorful Mediterranean food with plenty of options for customizing your meal,…read morePita Pita is absolutely worth a visit! We visited the Laguna Hills location and ordered a huge assortment of dishes to get a feel for the menu. The Lemon Garlic Chicken Kabob Plate and Steak Kabob Plate were both delicious, with beautifully seasoned proteins and generous accompaniments. I especially appreciated the option to substitute lentil rice for extra protein and fiber. They also offer several different seasonings and marinades, so there's plenty of variety. We also tried the Gyro Wrap and Pesto Falafel Pita, along with lemon garlic potatoes, tzatziki salad, fattoush salad, and house-made potato chips. Everything was fresh and full of flavor, but I have to give a special shoutout to the fries, which were genuinely some of the best I've ever had! Naturally, I had to sample all the hummus varieties and an assortment of sauces. It turned into a full dipping and spreading extravaganza, especially with their incredibly fluffy, delicious pita bread that's made from scratch. The refreshing mint lemonade was the perfect accompaniment to our feast. I love the variety of customizable plates, wraps, and sides, making it easy to put together a meal that suits different tastes and dietary preferences. The restaurant has a casual, approachable atmosphere that's great for a quick lunch, a relaxed meal, or sharing several dishes with friends and family.

I don't handle spicy food very well, but this was the perfect amount of spice for me. It was so good with the pita bread! The tabbouleh was super fresh and very parsley-forward, making it a great side to balance out the meats and potatoes. We also tried the gyro, which was good but had a stronger lamb flavor than I typically prefer. Overall, we really enjoyed our meal! There's such a great variety of proteins to choose from, and I really want to come back to try all the different options. The chicken shawarma will be hard to beat!

Vacation in the Californian life! My home place, I never heard of this place, but let's see what they had to offer, Here is my experience: Dang, place inside so nice, even got some authentic Hindi Movies with projector, NICE. The tables are so good looking, the seats are comfy (cushioning), like what is this, Leather covered cushioning ?!?!?!?!?! Cause, that is some good ambiance right there. The chandeliers, so good looking! Also, Desi means Pakistani/Indian goods. Cinthia P, thanks for putting out what type of food it's about, that would help others. Them people on Youtube talking bad about India, they need to actually feel how we live in India if they talk about us like this.... (Pushpek Shidu from Youtube when he sees people talking bad about India: Chappel) Now, service.. When we are greeted in, the owners come and greet with us, since some of my family members are friends with them, the owners know who I'm talking about. The way they bring us in, very nice people. I recommend ANYTHING ON THE MENU, like Chicken Biryani, 5 stars, Chili Chicken whatever it's called, 5 stars. My favorite, Chicken Biryani, sooo0oooo00o flavorful, some spices, soo good. Naan and some Chicken Tikka Masala, my days, I'm shot with so much flavor and tasty goodness. The way they bring it the food, crazy designs, crazy appearances, 5 stars. Mango Lassi, I might get diabetes one day, but AMAZING. Some nice dinner to have. But uhhh, some people are talking about how slow the service is, cause you wanna know why? Cause there's like 13 people, the food needs to be prepared nicely, like idc if they take forever, the food is good! But anyways, Follow me to know my adventures in the world of yelp. Follow me on pixilart.com @delphoxdiazora, it will help me and I will appreciate it if you do. This place might wanna be in a commercial, I know business. read more

I'm so thrilled to share that my favorite Pakistani/Indian restaurant has reopened after being closed for some time, and it's even better than before! The renovations have completely transformed the place--it's upscale, with a softly dimmed ambiance and mellow lighting that creates a cozy, inviting vibe. The projector showing old Indian songs adds a nostalgic touch and is absolutely aesthetically pleasing. The bathrooms are beautifully done and spotless, a nice extra touch. Customer service here is top-notch, with the staff greeting you warmly and always wearing a smile, making you feel right at home. Though the space isn't huge, it was packed on a Sunday night, a true testament to its popularity. As for the food, we ordered a variety of dishes. The chicken karhai was decent but didn't stand out much. However, the mutton karhai was exceptional--succulent and tender, practically melting in your mouth. The butter chicken was okay, not bad but also nothing spectacular. If you love lamb, the lamb seekh kababs are a must-try--deliciously flavorful! The samosa chaat was a delightful surprise and hit the right spot, with a perfect balance of chutney and yogurt that was simply irresistible. All in all, it was a fantastic experience, and I'll definitely be back. What's even better is that the prices are more affordable than places like Khan Sahab, but the quality doesn't fall short. Highly recommend checking it out! read more

I rarely write reviews, but our experience at Mint was abysmal. We came here for a special occasion with my parents, and the entire evening was ruined by terrible service and subpar food. To start, the restaurant wasn't even remotely full, yet the service was incredibly slow. After waiting for ages after placing our order, our food was brought out one single item at a time, completely destroying the flow of a family dinner. To make matters worse, the staff couldn't even be bothered to keep our water glasses filled throughout the night. When the food finally arrived, it was a massive disappointment. It somehow managed to be both over-spiced and under-spiced at the same time. The biryani, in particular, was completely bland and sad-tasting. Also, the quality of meat was overall unacceptable. The goat dish (supposedly their star dish) was full of sharp, dangerous bone fragments. And boy the portions were stingy. For the tiny amount they serve, this place is severely overpriced. We left with a literal and figurative bad taste in our mouths, feeling incredibly disappointed and sad that the special night we'd planned with our parents had fallen so flat. The place has been truly overhyped -- we had been looking forward to coming for ages, but after this, Mint lost a customer for life. read more

WARNING: Stay Away from Mint Restaurant I've never in my life been treated with such disrespect as I was at this place. I came in as a DoorDash driver just to pick up a coffee for a customer, and instead of showing any professionalism, the staff called me a "dirty fat piece of shit" right to my face. Absolutely unbelievable. On top of that, they made me wait 40 minutes for a single coffee. Forty minutes! For a drink that should've taken less than a minute. Meanwhile, customers in the restaurant were clearly uncomfortable with how the staff was behaving--loud, rude, and careless. But the worst part? Two massive rats ran right through the dining area while people were eating. Everyone saw it, and it was horrifying. One poor grandpa was so disgusted he actually threw up right there at his table. Instead of apologizing or handling it, the staff just shrugged it off like it was normal. This place is dirty, nasty, and toxic from the top down. I wouldn't recommend it to my worst enemy. If you value your dignity (and your stomach), do yourself a favor and NEVER come here. read more

Mint - A Gem for Flavorful, Thoughtful Indian Dining From the moment we walked into Mint, the experience was top-notch. It is a wonderfully inviting neighborhood restaurant with fantastic food and truly standout service. The Indian cuisine here is exceptionally flavorful and rich without relying on overwhelming heat. As someone who prefers mild spice levels, I was thoroughly impressed by how well the kitchen tailored my dish to be mild while preserving all the deep, aromatic flavors. Every bite was fresh, delicious, and cooked with high quality in mind. A special thank you to our waiter, Wasim, whose professionalism made our evening seamless and memorable. He was attentive, accommodating, and made sure our dietary preferences were handled perfectly. Mint delivers wonderful hospitality and genuine quality right in the neighborhood. We will definitely be back! read more

My experience at Mint was a bit of a mixed bag. On the positive side, the atmosphere is wonderful. The restaurant has a beautiful, upscale aesthetic, and the interior is spotlessly clean and nicely decorated. The staff members were also incredibly polite, friendly, and welcoming from the moment we walked through the door.However, the food and value left a bit to be desired. While the Garlic Naan was excellent and the Chicken Tikka Masala had a great flavor profile, the meat itself was slightly dry. Furthermore, the portion sizes are quite small given the premium price point, making the overall value feel a bit lacking. The service, while friendly, was also on the slower side, and we spent a significant amount of time waiting for our main entrees to arrive.Overall, Mint is a decent spot with great vibes and a beautiful setting. read more

When i first saw the sign go up that they were opening up i got so excited! Indian buffets are my favorite. I have to be honest and say i wasn't actually sure they would have a buffet but sure enough! The first day they open up im there and right as i walk in. All my favorites are there. Rice, yogurt, chicken tandoori , Spicy lamb. And more importantly a reasonably priced buffet. The buffet is open from 11-3:00 and the service. Thats my favorite part. Imagine your favorite aunt and uncle opening there own restaurant. Its basically like eating at home. They have been open for only a few weeks and i honestly have been there for lunch like 7 times!

I really loved the Vada Pav it was probably my favorite! The Pani Puri shots were of course great and a must try! We also got chicken tandoori & Their garlic naan has to be my favorite I've tried! We were so full we definitely needed to go boxes but we also still had to try desert! We got Malai Kulfi it was so rich and creamy and honestly is going to haunt my dreams until I get back to OC! We sat outside which was very nice and mellow the lights on the patio were super cute. The owner was there and was super helpful and attentive! Our server was also very kind!
