The best day to go, we were told by the staff, is Saturday. Sunday, you get leftovers and really limited choices. And, oh the bathrooms - are disgusting.

12/30/2025 At 12:30 ,I had a really disappointing experience at The Mynt. I ordered Chicken 65, and it was honestly one of the worst I’ve had. There was no salt or spice at all, the chicken was very dry, and some pieces felt undercooked. What bothered me most was that a few pieces had an unpleasant smell, which made it hard to even finish it . Literally trash!!!!!
Food quality is very important, and this experience completely ruined my appetite. Unfortunately, I won’t be eating at this location again.
Good food, staff was very courteous. Could use a full bar.

Had a lovely time catching up with friends. Staff was great, food was wonderful, and I love buffets when I can sample things I haven't tried before.

The restaurant is beautiful inside. The ability to handle multiple orders at once is incredibly inept. Receptionist kept saying the food would be right out... About 3 times over the course of an hour.

Buffet average ( but only 16.95 if you go Mon-Thurs). Fri is more expensive. Both Rices are very good. Biryani? & Dessert Rice delicious. Butter Chicken is always good. I think Dad forgot to try Butter Chicken. Tandoori is very good texture. Nice pieces of chicken. But only thing is flavour light ( but texture good). I recommend you put Butter Chicken tomato sauce on top of the Tandoor chicken as its the best sauce. However, I found the other sauces to be lacking a little flavour. I love Daal or Dhal but it just seem average? I forgot to try the potato one ( I get quickly full as small stomach). They did have a very nice looking Mango salad but the mango were firm ( not ripe) so I wish the Mango more sweet ( lucky I only took 3 small piece so did not waste). But they have a red sauce was very sweet. I recommend the red looking sauce to put on Mango. There is green sauce ( Coriander) but very salty. I wish they have regular coriander or cilantro for people like me who avoid too much salt. Overall light taste. The Yogurt is light salty but good. The Chai tea is excellent but no sugar. I am lazy. but i have a feeling if I put more sugar in my tea it is very good tea. Service is excellent. They immediate bus your table. Since I dont eat very much they bus my table everytime my small plate was finish. Oh, Naan look delicious (free with buffet) Dad ate it. I did not eat Naan ( I cut back on gluten) but rice is very good. They also had 3rd rice or maybe it was nut or coconut ( Im not sure)...I did not take much because I was afraid it might be sweet but very good. I like to know what was in it ( look good)

Indian restaurant was the attraction to order a few items from this place and when we reached there to pick up the food, got to see the restaurant too , which was equally good and so we decided to next time come over and have dinner here. Ordered, palak chaat which was crispy and delicious, along with Shaan savera kofta and teen mirch ka salan. Too good 👍

It’s an average restaurant. Went for buffet on a Saturday. Variety and selection is reasonable. Quality of food is ok. Everything tasted average. Nothing stood out.
