Quite a surprising place. We didn't know Frederick offered good Indian cuisine, but once we tried this place we loved the buffet over our usual regular down closer to DC. The chicken is tender and soft. The interior is dimly lit and more soothing. The staff is attentive and plentiful. There are several people constantly walking around that can help you. The choices on the buffet has a good variety and they have name plates that tell you if it is vegetarian or not. I enjoyed my experience here and plan to come back here. read more

Easter Sunday lunch buffet was $30/person but you can alternatively order from the regular menu. We were greeted and seated right away. The hara bhara appetizer was a large portion and came with chana masala. The malai kofta was fresh, tasty, hot, and a good portion for the price. The paneer makhani was also a great dish with a delicious creamy sauce and also hot and fresh. Each came with a bowl of white basmati rice. We asked for spicy and medium spicy but both were fairly UN-spicy. They told me they don't have chicken tikka masala as white meat, which is how it's supposed to be prepared, and it's only available bone-in. All of their chicken dishes are dark meat, which is not the Indian way, but they're likely catering to non-South Asians who prefer thigh or leg. The service was intermittent, and our main server disappeared and never came back after taking our order. They took some time refilling water glasses or even checking in on our needs so some improvement could be had. Restaurant clientele was about 10% South Asian, 90% not. The ambiance was pleasant. Payment system is via Toast. There is patio dining. read more

UPDATE: I am removing a star. So, the food is great. But they lied to me about items that would be on the buffet. I called and asked for a specific item and was told that it is available at the buffet. When we got there, that item was not available. Maybe it was a mistake on their part. But it felt more like deception than a mistake. Food is still great though. read more

I celebrated my birthday at the Mint Room on Valentines night. We originally went to their so called competition around the corner but we had to leave after being ignored. We called the Mint Room and y were able to accommodate us without a reservation. Vicki was our server and he was super attentive and even gave me a rose since it was my birthday meal and a delish birthday cake. He also took pics of my husband and I. Everything we ordered was so delish! My husband had lamb and I got butter chicken. We shared an appetizer as well. I'll be back. The ambiance is pretty as well. read more

This was my first experience trying Indian food and I was very happy. Our server gave us a brief walkthrough of the menu, both appetizers and chicken specialties. The food came out quickly and was served hot. It was delicious! Not only was our server attentive, but so were the other staff -- asking if we needed anything and/or refilling our drinks. The restaurant was clean and nicely decorated. I'd definitely go back. read more

My father-in-law from Mumbai loved this place! We came for the buffet on a Saturday, and everything was hot and fresh. The chili fish is must dry. Everything was so flavorful. And my father-in-law loved having the beers that he grew up drinking in India again. Culturally, you may have a to flag down a waiter from time to time, but that's no bother at all! We all really enjoyed our time here. read more

The Mint Room - Vegetable Samosa (2 Pieces) - Indian Near Me - Frederick, Maryland

Ordered veg fried rice and veg noodles. Delivered on time. Amount for veg fried rice is good. Amount for veg noodles is okay. It tasted like they have made them in very hurry. They both had less amount of vegetables and did not taste like indochinese. Better to try it in restaurant so there are chances of correction. read more

I took the family here for buffet lunch the first time and let's just say that we left stuffed and satisfied. Service excellent. We were seated right away! Floors were a little slippery for my liking but clean and nicely decorated. Since we were a big party, we were at least seated far enough to not be intrusive due to some small children. Great location, great choices - my favorite is definitely the chicken biryani and the chili fish. read more

We dined in this time . Food was a home run again. The place is less dressed up than the Andaz just a mile away , and their bar is not up and running yet, but the food is done really well and the service is excellent. Very attentive. read more

Cannot believe I haven't reviewed The Mint Room before. TLDR: amazing place! We took the fam to TMR for Christmas dinner. First time for my son and his crew, second time for Spousal Unit and me. We made reservations for 6pm thinking it would be crowded; it was not that busy (better for us!). We ordered a variety of appetizers, three different naans, several chicken dishes (I normally go for lamb or goat but I'm getting over a cold and needed something simple). Everything was excellently cooked, beautifully presented, and wonderfully seasoned. (My fam is spice-timid so they kept the heat low. I ordered a level 5 of 10 for a chicken dish that was described as "fiery" but because of my cold I should have gone all the way to 10). Portion sizes were excellent, with enough leftovers for dinner tonight (yay!). Everybody - including several youngsters - thoroughly enjoyed their meal. We really, really enjoyed our dinner. We will be back - soon! read more

Food is delicious service was on point and beautiful ambience. Everything was really good thank you read more

We went here for lunch. Very nice inside much better than previous decor. We were Les to a table by enthusiastic servers. They offer a lunch buffet which I perused . It looked quite good. Fresh looking with a wide variety of their food. We ordered off the menu though so we could take food home . I had the goat curry and my friend had chicken tikka masala. Both were delicious with well seasoned sauces made to our taste of heat. I enjoyed an unusual drink Jahlhera, very different but worth trying . My friends mango lassi was delicious. I'll be back to try the buffet read more

The Mint Room - Rice and chicken tikka masala - Indian Near Me - Frederick, Maryland

We are regulars here and there a multiple reasons why. It's in a great spot in Worman's Mill with plenty of parking. The place is clean, and the whole staff is very friendly. I have eaten at some of the other Mint Rooms and this is one of the newest. Very upscale feel to it. Drinks are good and the food is delicious. We always get the Palak Chat and Butter Chicken because it is so good. Get it more on the spicy side otherwise it tends to get replaced with salt. They have a ton of other choices so go in and give it a try. I have always gotten right in and got a seat. The buffet is mid-day in the weekend if you want it. read more

My mom and I decided that instead of doing a traditional Thanksgiving meal this year, we would go out instead. Somehow, I never knew that she loves Indian food and she didn't realize that I do, too. So when we discovered this about each other, we decided to check out The Mint Room. It was a great decision! The atmosphere in there is warm and cozy, while still being open and relaxed feeling. We felt at ease right away. The people are kind and attentive, and not at all pushy. Mom is very sensitive to spice and got hers quite mild, and I got mine a bit spicier, though I'll go a couple of levels higher next time, now that I have an idea of their levels. We both very much enjoyed our food, which was in generous portions, and have leftovers to happily eat. Though I loved everything we ate there, the thing I was most excited to try was a rose lassi! I have had mango and plain lassis many times, but never seen rose offered. I love rose flavor when it's not overdone, and they balanced it perfectly. It was beautiful and delicious! An absolute treat. We will absolutely be back. read more

Returned for the buffet and managed to arrive before the crowd. As before, there was a stunning variety and everything tasted so good! Many repeats from last time and some new things too. Service was very attentive, especially from Vicay. Highly recommended. read more

Ordered Chicken Tikka Masala and Milagu Curry to go. The chicken tasted very fresh. Both meals were tasty and warm. And they asked me how much spice I wanted, which I liked. And offered me a seat and water while I waited. Very kind! It was my first visit and I will be back. read more

Food was absolutely delicious! We got the butter chicken (full) and it fed 3 people and we have leftovers for lunch tomorrow. The chicken was tender and the spice was just right. We also got the jalapeno bread which was devoured! My son got the mango cake and he ate every last bite. We will definitely be back to try other items on the menu! read more

Amazing experience. First time eating Indian cuisine and it was wonderful. Our waiter was terrific. He walked us through the menu, made great recommendations, and made things fun. The food was delicious. Looking forward to going back to try more dishes from their buffet. read more

I've been here about 4x now. 2x a la cart and 2x for the lunch buffet (about $20 per person from 11:30 - 2:30 everyday). The food are delicious! So far I've liked everything I tried. They always ask what spice level you'd like too. The wait staff are super attentive and friendly. Honestly they go above and beyond to make sure you're having a great experience. Today we went for the lunch buffet and I told my friend happy birthday. I don't know if it's manager or owner either way he overheard and brought us a slice of cake to help us celebrate. It was very sweet of them. Another time I went one of the waitstaff heard me said the food is a tad spicy for my daughter and he brought her some Lassi to help. I highly reccomend trying their mango lassi it's very good! The goat curry, saag paneer, palak chaat, and garlic naans are to die for!!! Highly reccomend trying them out. read more

The Mint Room was highly recommended so we decided to try their lunch buffet and it was delicious!

The service and ambience were excellent as well! We'll definitely be back and highly recommend The Mint Room....you'll love it! read more

Sadly, I requested a top shelf margarita and the bartender was not at work. The owner himself prepared the drink. Watching the preparation, rail liquor was used as well as a mix which made the drink green and placed a dried lime inside. The absolute worst margarita I have ever had! Top shelf Margareta is my drink of choice had in various venues over a lifetime. This was the worst ever! Then I as the customer was blamed for their lack of knowledge on proper preparation and presentation. read more

Believe everything you hear about this place. The service? Incredible. The food? Savory and good for the soul. Be warned though, we ordered 3 entrees and it was way too much food for 3 people haha. But thank god we have leftovers!! Definitely recommend the samosa chaat. read more

Ambience, service and the lunch buffet were all so tasty. My faves - paneer and the butter chicken was divine! I loved this sweet vermicelli, pistachio dessert they had! Can't wait to bring family to this place! read more

Amazing variety on the lunch buffet with a variety of vegetarian and meat-based dishes. The table service is attentive and the ambiance light and airy. I highly recommend The Mint Room in Frederick. read more

Went with friends for buffet on Sunday. To begin with, the dishes were lined up in a way that would make it crowded and have people waiting for longer than expected. Lees choices for vegetarians. We asked them to replenish the yogurt but no one did. Also they ran out of gulab jamuns and it took a lot of time to get it refilled. None of the dishes tasted good expect the butter chicken. Will not recommend only based on quality of food. read more

Best Indian food in town, actually my favorite restaurant in Frederick. Visit the buffet every week. Great selection.

Service was excellent and the food was exemplary and good. Nice portion sizes and the ambiance was nice as well.

Frederick has a lot of Indian food options, and The Mint Room is one of the best. Everything we ordered was delicious and beautifully presented, and the service was top-notch. Great ambiance and family-friendly. We will definitely be back! read more

For context, this place was recommend to me by a coworker and I've only been here once during the middle of the week. Had the butter chicken and naan. Butter chicken was not creamy and tangy as I normally prefer. The chicken was also not the freshest.. almost as if they used tandoori chicken dark meat that had been cooked earlier that day. The naan was below average, not fluffy, nothing special. All menu items are priced as big city restaurant prices and are not warranted Frederick. Overall, somewhat disappointed. read more

June 2025: Indian food pretty much tops our list of favorite cuisines so when we moved to rural Carroll County we were resigned to have to travel great distances to enjoy it. Thank goodness for The Mint Room! We stopped in to enjoy dinner on their patio, not knowing what to expect. And we are so glad we did! Hands down, this is the best Indian meal we've ever had. Exceptional. Bonus, the service is attentive as well as friendly (Mahi is a vivacious, gracious man). We're already planning our next visit. FYI: As of this writing (6/22) it is BYO while the restaurant awaits for approval of their liquor license application. If having an adult beverage is important, you might call ahead for updated details. read more

Best Indian buffet I've had in years. Very good! Fresh naan at the table and great variety.

Went to the mint room last night and found our new favorite Indian place! Everything was awesome from the appetizers, to the mains, to the drinks, to the service. The restaurant is spacious and clean and a great place for groups. 100% recommend! read more

Great food. Spotty service but they just opened. BYOB. Pretty inside with tables spaced out for some privacy. read more

My neighbor (who is from India) and I went to the Mint Room on Wednesday to try their buffet. Im handicapped ad use a walker. I had to rest before even going to be seated. One of the servers turned me around and pushed me over to a table adjacent to the buffet. There's a good variety offered and since my friend could explain what some dishes were I tried some new things. We both enjoyed everything. As far as ambiance, its nice but I'd expect more color on the walls or art to represent the culture. Would I recommend this restaurant, definitely yes read more

Wow amazing food and awesome staff. Tried this place today for the first time and the food was amazing. Their staff were great to deal with. I would highly recommend trying this place yourself read more

Just tried for the first time. The food was wonderful. We had the chicken korma and chicken biryani. Both were flavorful. The biryani was slightly spicy for "mild" but delicious. The restaurant is still waiting for their liquor license, however, at this time it is BYOB. We got there early (on a Sat night) and by 6:30 the restaurant was full. We will definitely go back. read more

hands down the best indian buffet in frederick. beautiful place, the service was excellent, but more than that the food was some of the most well seasoned indian food i've ever had - highlighted by the goat biryani (this was the best i've ever had) and the tandoori chicken, which both had resounding levels of spice allll throughout the layers of meat. all the proteins were moist, the sauces were incredible, and there's a huge selection of vegan friendly options. unsure if they switch up the menu and serve other stuff like palaak paneer or butter chicken, but even without those two staple dishes this place bangs. not to mention tons of specialty non alcoholic drink options + a fully stocked bar area. they're gonna get sick of seeing me! read more
