Dominique D.

I have been here during the week but I really enjoy coming on the weekends for lunch!! The lunch Buffett is a great deal! Dishes are refreshed regularly. Hot and made on site. The cold options are great! And complimentary chai is superb! Our water never went empty and management went around to every table to ensure they were having a positive experience. I love the ambiance as it's very calm and tranquil. The color scheme is relaxing.

Visited here on a Saturday at 1pm. Went for the lunch buffet and I literally tried almost everything. Some dishes were better than the other but overall I enjoyed my plate. Service was great.. the guys/waiters were checking on us and made sure there was water in our glasses at all times. But overall my favorite perk is, it's BYOB! :-) Food: 4/5 | Service: 5/5 | Ambience: 4/5

Mint Raj Kachori

We came back again 4 days later (we like it there!) and tried the Mango Chaat. Good though we liked the Mint Raj Kachori more.

My wife enjoyed the tandoori chicken, moist and flavorful.

What a tremendous experience. Elegantly lit and space is comfortable. The glass walled kitchen lends itself to a fine New York bistro. The buffet is clean and sleek. Large variety of offerings. Exceptional taste spectrum. Standouts were the Palak Paneer (perfectly spiced), the Malabar Curry Fish (subtle curry with a perfect balance of spice) and Tawa Baingan which is a roasted eggplant with an in-house roasted spice sauce that can NOT be missed!!!! The special hidden gem is the house 'hot sauce' which is savory and flavorful but not 'hot'-fully spicy as it should be. It's a 45min drive for us and one we will repeat again. Tamarind and Mint sauces are made in house as well and great. My wife prefers the thicker tamarind and it has a full pallet flavor.

This is a photo of inedible, untrimmed pieces of chicken from the tikka masala I ordered last night.

I ordered chicken tikka masala and asked for white meat instead of dark. They still put mostly dark meat in it. I bit into a tendon. I bit into a bone. I decided to bring home leftovers so I could see what I was eating in the bright light of my kitchen and you can see in the photo what I found. More bones. Skin. Fat. I have never had such inexpertly prepared chicken in an Indian restaurant before. For what I paid, this is unacceptable. There are plenty of excellent Indian restaurants in the Baltimore area. This place isn't one of them.

The ambiance is amazing. The staff are courteous, and efficient. But the food and presentation is where the experience is epitomized.

Chicken Vindaloo
Mollie W.

Service by Avinash was excellent. He was attentive and kind. He repeated every order back to us to make sure it was clear. The plain naan, garlic naan, vegetable samosas, prawn tikka masala, chicken vindaloo and lamb vindaloo were all amazing and made for plenty of leftovers. You get to choose your spice level here, which I appreciate. Sometimes I'm in the mood for a little bit more spice, if you know what I mean. Let me baaaahbrag on the lamb vindaloo here. The lamb was very tasty, chunky and smooth. Very tender and cooked through. Yummers! This place is not inexpensive (over $140) for three of us for dinner, but you get lots of leftovers so you can justify the cost. Great service, excellent food and nice ambiance.

Garlic Naan
Jim L.

The Mint Leaf is located at the Hunt Valley Town Center. We were in the area so decided to give it a try. I had dine at its sister restaurant, The Mint Room in Bel Air, about a year ago. We had the Vegetable Samosa for appetizers. It came out hot and crispy. I was so hungry I forgot to snap a photo, lol. For entree, we ordered the Chicken Biryani, Lamb Vindaloon, Akhroti Gosht, and a side of Garlic Nann. The flavors and spices were amazing. I can taste the cardamom in the Akhroti Gosht. Portions were generous. Ended up taking food home. Service was ok. Waiter was a little pushy trying to sell the lobster and lamb shank.

This was highly recommended by one of the Indian guys I met at the CrossFit. It's a South Indian restaurant so they seem to have various options for dosa and other South Indian food. We decided to try their thali. I got the goat thali. The goat was cooked to perfection. The curry was nice and flavorful. The vegetables and lentils were delicious as well. I wish the rasam and chicken 65 were more flavorful. Rasam was bland and the chicken 65 lacked the spicy flavor. Overall, great experience. Nice service and good ambiance.

Sangam Restaurant Nestled in a small strip mall in…read moreTimonium, Sangam is a charming South Indian restaurant that feels like a hidden gem. The name "Sangam," which means "meeting and getting along," evokes the spirit of mutual trust inspired by a classic Indian film of the same name. This romantic notion sets the stage for a delightful culinary experience. Upon entering, you might not find opulence, but the restaurant exudes a cool, neat vibe. The ambiance is unpretentious, with two diligent South Indian girls serving food with a warm smile, creating a welcoming environment. The menu is a treasure trove of South Indian dishes, many of which may seem unfamiliar, especially for those from a Punjabi or Pakistani background. Though the choices can be overwhelming, the restaurant is particularly renowned for its Masala Dosa--a must-try for any visitor. Here are some of our favorite selections: Sukha Goshat: A flavorful dish reminiscent of bhuna meat, prepared with an array of spices, served alongside naan or paratha--perfect for a satisfying meal. Biryani: Their biryanis are noteworthy, bursting with rich flavors that stand out. Appetizers: We often start with Chicken 65 or Fish Chilli. The tangy, spicy Chicken 65 has a unique flavor that distinguishes it from typical offerings at Indian restaurants. If you ever plan to visit Sangam, I'd love to join you for this delightful culinary adventure!

The décor and ambience of this restaurant is so serene and welcoming. As always, they start you off with a basket of Papadum (light crispy Indian wafers) and two dipping sauces. These are really delicious and a wonderful introduction to Indian food. Our foods started with an order of split Vegetable and Chicken Momo dumplings that were marinated in Nepali spices stuffed in flour wrapped and steamed and served with a special chutney. For our friends' main course, they split a Chicken Tikka Masala, which was boneless white meat chicken cooked with onions, tomatoes, and bell peppers. They also ordered Naan - the traditional unleavened white bread. My husband had his favorite, the Tandoori Shrimp. It was a very generous portion of jumbo shrimp marinated in an herb mixture and delicately broiled in our tandoori clay oven served with mixed vegetables. This came out sizzling. This came with a side of spinach that was more like a creamed spinach. It was the best we have ever tasted! It was creamy with the best seasoning. I decided to try something new and ordered the Chicken Pista Korma which was White meat chicken simmered in a mild pistachio sauce. I would have like smaller pieces of chicken, but the sauce was delicate and delicious. All of our entrees came with basmati rice. The portions are so generous we all had something to take home for another meal. Our servers were very attentive and friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed another great meal at Indian Ocean.

I really wanted to love Pizza & Curry because I was especially excited to try the curry after…read moreseeing all the great reviews. Unfortunately, the food missed the mark in a few important ways. Despite selecting the lowest spice level, some dishes were almost impossible to eat because they were simply too spicy. The curry was especially disappointing. It was not only far too spicy for the lowest spice level, but also quite salty, which made it difficult to actually enjoy. What a shame when you are looking forward to a dish and the spice level overwhelms everything else. The Chicken 65 was just okay and, again, much too spicy for the lowest setting. The batter also completely fell off the chicken, which made the dish feel rather pointless. The lamb had the same issue with the spice level. The butter chicken, however, was good. It was actually the first dish where it felt like the chef paid attention to the spice level we selected. We also tried the chicken masala pizza. The pizza itself was decent, but the chicken on top was disappointing. It was very rubbery and tasted almost like chicken from a previous day that had been reused on the pizza as an afterthought. Overall, there is definitely potential here, and some of the food was good. But the experience could have been much better simply by respecting the requested spice level and paying more attention to the quality and preparation of the chicken. When a customer selects the lowest spice level, the food shouldn't be so spicy that they can't enjoy it.

I may have some of the leftovers tonight for dinner, if I'm lucky. Butter Chicken Pizza: A Rich and Savory Fusion Topped with Creamy Butter Chicken, Mozzarella Cheese and a Hint of Indian Spices on a Golden Baked Crust. $16.99+ --- WOW!!! just amazing. Great, crisp crust. Tender Chicken. A side cup of butter chicken sauce. This is the item that won my heart. Tandoori Shrimp: jumbo shrimps marinated with yogurt, ginger, garlic & Indian spice $18.99 --- delicious... we received two mystery sauces: one an herbaceous slightly spicy green, the other a dark purple with a flavor that reminded me of plums or raisins. I don't know if these were meant for the shrimp, but I really liked the flavor combination of the shrimp with the purple sauce. I only got one though, cuz Jeremy housed them before I could snag a second. Tandoori Chicken: Chicken on bone marinated overnight in yogurt & spice roasted in a tandoor a cylindrical oven $13.99 --- best tandoori chicken I have ever had in my life. So tender, not at all dried out, perfect char flavor. White rice spiced white clove.... didn't open them with the meal but looking forward to having them later. A really spectacular meal. Looking forward to returning in the future.

The manager, David, greeted our party of four and acknowledged our dual wedding anniversaries as the occasion for our visit. Nice touch! He also checked on us periodically throughout the evening. The restaurant is lovely inside, tastefully decorated and comfortable. A cozy fireplace burned in the dining room and there was lively conversation throughout, but tables were adequately spaced so that we could talk amongst ourselves with difficulty hearing each other. Our server was prompt, arriving just as we were being seated, offering water for the table and taking drink orders. On to the food. Wow! Talk about a party in your mouth! It was our first time here, and we will be back! For starters, we shared a few small plates; the Crab Khumbi, which had the perfect balance betwen delicate and flavorful, and the Pulled Pork over Pumpkin Polenta. The pork dish had a nice spicy kick and a rich, but tangy flavor, complimented by the sweetness of the pumpkin polenta - highly recommend. My husband ordered the Cauliflower, Coconut and Crab soup, which he proclaimed to be outstanding. Rich but not heavy, and bursting with notes of spice, cilantro and cool cucumber; he said he would definitely order again. The small plates portions are enough for four people to have a generous bite or two. For our entrees, our friends ordered the Shrimp Balchao and Fish Curry, and they both raved about the explosive flavor. My husband also ordered the Fish Curry, while I had Butter Chicken. Oh my gosh, we all chowed down on this deliciousness, taking a moment to dunk our warm, toasted Rosemary & Sea Salt Naan with every other bite. The wine list is extensive and cocktails were expertly crafted and tasty. We didn't have room for dessert, but did view the menu and it looked very appetizing. I cannot wait to return to this gorgeous restaurant, and perhaps even dine outside among the lovely gardens and decor. There are heat lamps for cooler weather. The bar was also warm and cozy, with large TVs visible for watching sporting events, but not so garrish that it had a sports bar feel. I can see Sunday afternoons watching football and enjoying a few small plates with friends in our future. Do yourself a big favor and reserve a table!

There is usually soup, a selection of appetizer dishes with chutneys, naan, plain and plow rice, multiple vegetarian dishes, a couple chicken dishes and often a lamb dish, and a couple desserts.
