Had brunch here the other day Couldn't find anything nice to say Muffins weren't fresh that's for sure High prices 18% gratuity added to all checks sister restaurant next store offering Italian food with not one Italian working there These to places are meant only for local Jewish community They can have them read more

To make it simple, this is far and away the best dairy/Italian restaurant in New York City

Came in at 1pm on a weekday with a friend. Place was surprisingly almost full. Staff was friendly, interior decor is cute and modern. Didn't know such a nice eatery existed in this neighborhood. I ordered the house shakshuka. It came with 4 pieces of nicely toasted warm bread. It was amazing, really loved it! My friend got the quinoa veggie burger and hot green tea. She enjoyed her food as well. The price was slightly higher than the regular prices in this part of Brooklyn - comparable to Manhattan prices but I will definitely come back if ever craving Mediterranean! read more

Simple affair, refined decor with music playlist that does not really match with the higher end interior ambiance. A good intention of approach to a much needed vegan menu for this area, however for the range of price point suggested, one would expect the food would come in a more technically realized execution. The waitstaffs are very attentive and friendly, which what helped and draws me back as often as my budget allows. read more

Yeah... Had it once. Gave it a 2nd try. There's much better vegan around. Also, it's expensive. I don't mind paying if it's worth it. Don't get me wrong the food is okay but there's really little value. read more

Horrible extremely salty food and deceitful tipping policy. The food was pretty bad, but to add insult to injury this establishment adds an 18% tip and then tries to trick you into tipping them again by including the standard gratuity percentages that restaurants that do not automatically tip themselves print on the check. This would be fine if they clearly indicated such. But they take advantage of the fact that people often do not examine each line item and inadvertently double tip. read more

3 Stars because as a vegan I must show my support. Last time I had a really good meal in a vegan restaurant in Midwood/Bensonhurst was about 10 years ago, and they didn't last long. Food is alright. Given the choices we have around here you can't complain. If you like Soy and Sake from West Village, you can tell at least a portion of the whole menu is "inspired" from it. It looks very similar but doesn't taste the same. I do agree that the portion is too small for the price though. Please be advised if you call for delivery, the lady will tell you if it's "walking distance" its free, otherwise is $10 delivery fee!!!!! Lady, if I can walk there, I wouldn't need delivery... read more

The Dirty Girl and the sesame encrusted seitan with soba noodles were delicious. The service was really great too! Will return!

Give it a few more months and maybe it'll get better. Food is bland and overpriced for what they're serving. Plus, adding an automatic 18% gratuity for a party of two is nonsense. But it would explain why we hardly saw our server during our meal, her tip was already guaranteed! EDIT 8/19/15: When I wrote this review in January, this place was all vegan. Clearly that has changed... read more

Important to know: When you sit down and your server asks if you want for regular or sparkling water, explicitly say tap water or they will bring you nicely bottled water which will cost you $7. They lost a star for that. Other than that, everything was great. We had good service and I really liked the food that I ordered. We ordered a macro plate as an appetizer to share and it was fantastic. It had an assortment of really tasty healthy foods. For our mains, he had the steak n' fries and I had the grilled tofu club. I think I liked my entree more than my friend did, but we both really enjoyed it. I would definitely go back. read more

I have been to Mint twice in the last 2 weeks for dinner. Excellent food, service, and atmosphere. Original menu was all vegan which was good. They have since added fish, eggs, and dairy which is a big improvement. We had the Kale Greek. Very tasty and definitely a repeat. Buffalo wings were very good- spicy. For entrees, the lemon tuna is a must. Comes with cauliflower mash and sautéed spinach. Miso glazed salmon was also good. Last week I had the Dirty Girl- black rice and veggies. Loved it. Inventive drink menu but not cheap. Portions were generous...no room for desert. Best option in the area for vegan and vegetarian food. read more

Love this place! They have a variety of different foods. Everything is fresh and delicious. My favorites are the quesadillas, turmeric roasted cauliflower , sphagetti squash, ocean parkway salad, and the amazing miso glaze salmon. Their decor is beautiful and they have a full bar. This place is a must try for lunch or dinner! read more

So far so good! Brand new vegan spot a bit of a way from me, but I love to try the new vegan things! Went for lunch and got the Spicy Buffalo Wings with Pistachio Blue Cheese ($9) to start. Portion size was a bit underwhelming, given the price (see photo), but the flavor of the buffalo sauce and the "blue cheese" dressing was amazing. I like a bit meatier of a texture on my seitan but the flavor here was delicious. "Tuna" wrap ($10) was my decision for lunch. It was definitely sort of bland and there wasn't a good ratio of wrap to filling. The taste of the wrap overwhelmed the taste of the chickpea tuna. Needed more mayo and more seasoning. The red onion pickle on the side was nice. I think they may do their own pickling here. They brought out some pickled carrots and cauliflower between courses. Staff was friendly and the place is really new, clean, and nice looking. Food was all fresh even if that wrap was bland. I always dig freshness :) I am curious to try them out for the tasty and heftier looking dinner entrees and will report back. UPDATE: Not all-vegan anymore. Still plenty of vegan options including the ones mentioned in this review. read more

Came here for a party and was seated in a separate private room. This restaurant is great and not just for "kosher". The atmosphere was nice, bright and clean. The service was excellent- our waitress was kind, quick, accommodating without being overbearing. The drinks were delicious, and so was the food. Everything came out quickly and tasted very fresh and well seasoned. There was something for EVERYONE on this menu and we were a diverse crowd. The portions were very large, and everything we ate was delicious. In the end, no one complained about anything except for how full they were! Would definitely recommend for dates, birthdays, events and even take out! read more

They changed the menu recently and it was worth it. Everything we ordered was excellent, and it's nice that they decided to offer a variation on the standard "Kosher dairy in NY, pizza, pasta, fish, sushi" menu. They have all of that (sans-sushi) but a smaller and better menu, with great presentation, and a different twist on everything. The waiter was also excellent, which helps a lot. highly recommended. read more

To put it simply...it is really good and doesn't make me feel bad. The fettuccini Alfredo and seitan roulade were amazing. The staff were friendly and attentive. read more

Great place for lunch or dinner. Nice casual ambiance. Clean and friendly. Food is always good. read more

My friend and I went to Mint for lunch and we split the Ocean Parkway salad and the sesame crusted grilled seitan. The salad was definitely enough for two people as a side. Was very refreshing with the lemon vinaigrette dressing and the lentils and white beans lent a nice crunch and flavor. Wish there was more cheese though! It tasted delicious and healthy. The seitan dish was good, too. It's basically a vegetarian version of shnitzle with a crispy sesame coating. We were given two large pieces with a nice serving of soba (buckwheat pasta) noodles served as a lo mein with julienned zucchini and carrots. I left full and satisfied :) If you want healthy tasting food and don't mind paying a little more than you usually would, I'd recommend Mint! read more

Been going to this place back when it was called back to nature and it was great. Since it's new ownership, new menu I was never really fond of it, but my mom was. We spend at least 100 dollars JUST on Salads! ( for 3 people )For that price you can't even create your own salad. 24 dollars for a salad with a veggie burger is un heard of. I eat out a lot and I know what's normal and what's not. The waiter was very unaccomidating and rude. FYI this was after searching for parking for 20 min. Would never go back. read more

Everything was up to par. what you would expect from a kosher restaurant in Brooklyn... with good service

I think most of the negative reviews you read are from unhappy meat eaters who didn't get their share of antibiotics from their meat at this place, cause it doesn't offer meat options which I think is just great, if you want meat go somewhere else. That being said, their buffalo wings are amazing! I will be coming back for more of that! Last night I came in for the Dirty Girl plate and it was just amazing, forbidden rice with pesto, and lots of tasty veggies! Totally yum! Price wise it's a bit pricey but your paying for "kosher" food, blessed by the rabbi power or something. Nah but seriously, for $8 a platter like the wings was great! I think it was perfect. Keep up the great work Mint! I'll be coming back for more! And will drag my friends! Can't wait for them to try the fish options! read more

I wanted to come in for lunch, but then saw the prices. They are out of their minds. This ain't no 5-star restaurant, it's a cafe on Kings-friggin-highway! Wake up. read more

Placed a delivery order to my office and they couldn't get it right. I had ordered the Grilled Tofu Club. I'm not sure what i received. I know i received a slab of tofu separate from anything, no veggies or bread. I will give them credit for quickly fixing the order and delivering it in less than 15 min. The food itself was ok, really on the salty side. I wasn't impressed. The menu also seems over priced. Can't say that I would be ordering from here again. read more

We loved the sesame crusted grilled seitan with soba noodles, baked potato with broccoli and cheese appetizer and the massaged kale salad. My husband also liked the Mac and cheese. We got good service and will definitely be back! read more

UPDATE: This restaurant is no longer vegan or even vegetarian. They started serving FISH.

I was super excited to try this restaurant, but after my lunch I was so disappointed. What a let down. The foods flavor was good and everything was fresh, but the portions were tiny and so overpriced for the amount of food I received. It's to bad they didn't increase their portions. I know this is vegan but a person still needs to eat a normal amount. The salad was child size. Not sure how fast I will return. read more

I guess 3 stars is the consensus on this one, but I almost feel bad for agreeing. the food is good--sometimes great, and it's in an area where vegan is so scarce. but I came in hungry, and the wings, while delicious, were teensy tiny, and more than half my plate was celery and carrot sticks. I know it's called a "small plate", but come on. I did not pay $8 to eat some celery and dip read more

I called to ask a question about the menu and the woman who answered the phone was so rude it's unbelievable. I will not go there or buy food from them. Thanks to the rudeness of the woman who answered the phone they lost my business. Ps only gave it one star so I could write this post. read more

Celebrated a l'chaim here. Had most of the appetizers, and they were all great! Really enjoyed the buffalo "wings". Had the potato gnocchi and requested it with vodka sauce and it was no problem! Tasted great! Really enjoyed the atmosphere and the customer service. Portions are good, Definitely recommend! read more

I love this restaurant. The food is always good and the salads are fresh. The menu is very varied and interesting. We're always trying something different. Never had a bad meal here. Whether you're kosher or not and want good vegan, vegetarian or dairy, this is a great place. read more

Just went here last night and I must say they conquered the two more important components to a successful restaurant 1) Service 2) Food Many restaurants either have one or the other. The owners and the waitstaff really deserve an A+. Very patient and the food was incredible. Although I am against checks that automatically add the tip, I doubled it because i give credit where credit is due. read more

I've sent several queries to the establishment to understand whether adding an 18% gratuity to a party of two is standard practice, and I can't get an answer. FYI, you are supposed to inform a customer upfront (before they eat) if you are going to add a gratuity. read more

The food is pretty good. I had the chipotle burger which was well seasoned and fries. However, the portions are minuscule and a bit overpriced. Lastly, pay attention to the check if you eat here. I noticed that they added a gratuity to my check even though I was only with one other person. read more

Went to Mint on Monday for lunch with a friend. The table they gave us to sit at was cramped and they refused to give us a larger table even though there were plenty of bigger tables. The waiter - a guy with a long white beard came over to take the order then just walked away when someone called him from the kitchen. Another guy came over to take the order and the original waiter started screaming at him like a lunatic not to take the order and embarrassed him completely. We were beyond mortified and uncomfortable. We asked him what the most popular salad was and he was like it's salad what do u want me to say. After we ordered we had to chase down another waiter to order lattes which took ten minutes. The lattes were terrible - watery and had zero flavor. We told him it wasn't good and he could care less. We left them untouched on the table. The food took forty five minutes to arrive after we ordered - we had to ask numerous times to see what happened with our order. The food was good no complaints there but at that point we were so annoyed we didn't have much of an appetite. Would not recommend this place to anyone. Needs new management ASAP read more

Sometimes its tough to go out Kosher and try new placed because you can spend a fortune and get nothing or spend nothing and get everything - you never know. My wife asks me to go Vegan Kosher at 2pm, I had to sit down and breathe... We arrived later that night and were seated by a gracious host. And down comes the carrots and humus (instead of bread w oil. Ya know, healthy). My cynicism was full blown. Soup, Quesadilla , Gnocci, Fish - All were really great. At a reasonable price. Ordered in delivery as well and was great. Could be a regular.. read more

I was incredibly satisfied with my experience at Mint Vegan. The Food. Delicious! As an appetizer I ordered the Buffalo Wings ($9) which came with beautifully stacked carrots, celery, and a pistachio based blue cheese sauce. So tasty! For the main course I ordered the Wild Mushroom Farroto ($18) which was creamy and similar to the texture of risotto. The latter had fresh herb springs of rosemary, cilantro, and mint which added a wonderful dimension to the flavor of the dish. I also ordered a mint tea. The Service. The staff are very friendly, accomodating, and knowledgeable about the menu. I am new to vegan cuisine and was thrilled that the waitress paitently described and explained everything to me. Also, I ordered the mint tea, which I was first told they were out of, then as an after thought, the waiter checked with the kitchen to see if they had fresh mint available, which they did. Such service! The Ambiance. Simple and elegant decor. Hip electronic music at just the right volume to allow conversations. Comfortable lighting. Everything in sight was immaculately clean. Mint Vegan has everything that you could want in a restaurant. Do yourself a favor and go. You will not regret it. You may even run into me there, as I will definitely be going back. read more

The worst experience ever, I came her with 3 if my friends because it was kosher for a friend, we were definitely racially profiled, the waiter was extremely rude. I believe his name was Phill. Not to mention we had to clean our own glasses,He took forever to come to us, he was definitely ignoring us. Not coming here ever again! read more

Went here for lunch with my daughter. The place is spotless and the decor is modern. My daughter ordered the split pea soup. We shared the fish tacos and the sesame seitan. The fish tacos were delicious. The seitan itself didn't really have flavor but the sesame seed coating gave it texture and a bit of flavor. The seitan itself could have been flavored a bit more. All in all it was a lovely lunch. Service was quick and efficient. I definitely want to bring my husband and sons here to try it. read more

Very disappointed with the food and prices. Waiter service left a lot to be desired. Never came over once to ask if we need something and added 18% to bill with no notice on the menu. Food was horrible and drinks were small. Would never go back. read more
