Finally a top Indian restaurant in our region!…read more It oddly tasted a lot like my fav back in RVA. We got the Samosa which was very good. The Garlic Naan is necessary and good as expected coated in butter and fresh garlic. We also got the Rogan Josh Lamb and Chicken Tikka Masala and both were fantastic and full of fresh spice and onions. The basmati rice they served along with it was perfectly cooked as well. We asked for "medium hot" which was a tad above Tabasco sauce hot, so perfect to us--could've done hotter. Service was great too--we are only upset we had not tried this earlier as they had been here for a few yrs. It's only a few min from the Hard Rock casino too which would make a fun night out. Definite will be back w friends.

Wow! We are vegetarians traveling and saw their billboard on the highway. We had the cashew curry…read moreon their recommendation and it was DECADENT. The naan was a perfect complement to it and one was ample for two people. I'd order two curries for two people if you wanted lots of leftovers. delicious.

We love Mint every single time we go!! Love the staff, the food and the atmosphere!!!!!read more

Mint Indian Cuisine is located in the Boone Heights Shopping Center, off of 321, so there is plenty…read moreof free parking. Mint doesn't take reservations, so it is walk-in except for large parties. The restaurant has a spacious dining room and a bar section. It is a good-sized restaurant. From other reviews, I knew this was a popular place, so I made sure to arrive shortly after dinner service began to get a table. When I arrived, I was seated in a cushioned booth in the corner diagonally from the entrance. I think they gave me the best table in the restaurant, as it was tucked away and quiet, and I got a full view of the dining area. It was almost as if they knew this was my celebration for visiting all 100 counties in North Carolina. Service was friendly as well; there were many staff members walking around to see if anyone needed anything. They all seemed to work together. I went with the shrimp korma and ordered some garlic naan. I ordered the mango lassi for my beverage, too. The food came out fairly quickly, and I loved every bite. The portion was large, and they offered me a to-go box, likely at the point most people stop eating. But I knew I couldn't take it to go, so ate as much of it as I could there. Mint will be on my list for the next time I get to Boone.

We love Goodoo bowl! Our favorite is the island chicken tacos, but we also enjoy the hand pies,…read moresassy roll, goodoo bowl, fried plantains, pineapple fried rice, and sun chai.

( could be dangerous so close to home..) The cookie, though no looker, came back with coconut, chocolate nugs, and a chewy texture. Each bite is a treat! The interior is equally impressive, beautifully hand-decorated with handcrafted styling, making it incredibly inviting and the perfect spot to enjoy a meal.

Our table was promptly cleared by welcoming staff as we returned to the buffet. My vegetarian sister found plenty of good things to eat, and we both enjoyed the setting.

I would love to come back here. Food was amazing, and a good price. For two people, all you can eat…read morebuffet it was $55. It was actually delicious. I already want more food from here. They have a menu or a buffet option. It is also very pretty and clean inside, even the bathroom was super clean! The staff is very kind and constantly checking in and keeping the area clean. I think my water was topped off almost every time I had a sip (one of my biggest pet peeves is not having water). Love it here.

They are smaller portions similar to a tapas style and shared. Many of the dishes the spice level cannot be adjusted. We started with the Matchstick Okra. They are sliced so thinly and deep fried making them crispy with Chaat Marsala and salt for seasoning. Delicious and couldn't stop eating them. Ordered the Butter Chicken which was tender and lovely while family had the Saag Paneer which had some spice to it. Our waitress was working in helping guide with dietary restrictions and spice level tolerances. The restaurant is beautiful and very colorful.

Where to begin!? First, we arrive at 5:15 pm on a Friday…read moreand get in a twenty-minute line. The line is just to get on a waitlist, which we cleared in 45 minutes. So, while waiting we went upstairs for unusual cocktails: tamarind margarita and Kashmiri sunset. Both delicious and tasted of Indian spices. And because it's Friday, the remarkable vegetable Pani puris were available. Wow: we ate five and could have just eaten those for dinner. Go on Friday or Saturday! But we headed downstairs and ordered three items: Matchstick okra: One of the most unusual foods I've had in a restaurant. Simply delicious. Holy smokes! Uttapam: a vegetable pancake that was very tasty. Sort of like a fritter. Butter chicken: accompanied by a tray of add-ons, this was just a wonderful hearty dish. The atmosphere is loud and bright, with lots of colors. But it is not so loud that you can't have a conversation. Highly recommend: I've been to maybe 20 Asheville restaurants and this is in the top two or three.
