This was my second visit to Mint Restaurant, and overall, it was still a good experience. The vibe is pleasant and the service was friendly and attentive. However, the food wasn’t quite as consistent as my first visit. Last time, the Chicken Karahi stood out as their best dish — flavorful and well-balanced. I may come back again and hope to have that same quality and taste on my next visit.

I went into MINT super excited after seeing it all over social media but I left a little disappointed. The prices really don’t match the quality or portions. I started with the dahi puri which tasted good but had way too much yogurt that overpowered everything else in it. The mango lassi was decent but nothing special. The goat karai was delicious and the meat was so tender it was falling off the bone, but the portion was tiny especially for $30. The naan was just average and didn’t stand out either. Overall it was an okay experience but not worth the hype or the price.

Excellent restaurant with great flavors. Food was authentic and delicious. It did seem way more expensive, with smaller portions, than their sister restaurants. I would recommend those before Mint, but Mint is still good

Authentic Pakistani restaurant. Delicious food and great atmosphere.
I promised my toddler chicken tikka masala, and stumbled into this spot. I called earlier to ask if they can make it mild for him to eat. FYI, they can make it both spicy or not hot. I was expecting the food to be average. Upon entering it was a really nicely decorated restaurant and the vibe is not flashly, but comfortable and elegant. This place is perfect for date night, and and family. IMPORTANT PART: The food was really good. We got the chicken korma which was full of flavor and the chicken tikka masala. Now the chicken tikka masala was the best I have ever had, anywhere period. I've been too south asian restaurants Irvine, Artesia, Diamond Bar, Toronto, none came close to this. You could tell it was made from raw ingredients and freshly made, full of flavor in every bite, and cooked to perfection. I kept trying to be fair and recall which restaurant was probably better. I have to say this is #1 period for chicken tikka masala.

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!

Amazing restaurant with the best lamb chops and tandoori prawns. Located close to Irvine.
It was our family's first time at Mint & it definitely didn't disappoint even our pickiest of eaters. We were beyond pleased with the cuisine! It was absolutely fantastic and didn't not lack in flavor, quality or freshness! Our taste palette was thoroughly satisfied. Everything and I mean every dish did not disappoint. And oh my the chicken tikka kabob was insanely tender and juicy. The staff was super friendly and I absolutely loved the decor! We will definitely be regulars at this hidden gem!
It really gets the 5 for presentation/ambiance and some clever fusion items. Goat cheese kulcha with truffles was both unique and classic at the same time - nicely done! Falsa-tini mocktail was a great way to use a unique, non-western present berry with a good drink. The rest of the food was good - Karahi, chicken tikka and daal - more the standard fare (but clean and properly cooked). The unique items with the usual make it a great location to change it up a bit.
