    Malai Chicken Tikka
    Neha M.

    We had such a great meal at Mint Masala! Everything we ordered was packed with flavor. the veg pakora was crisp and fresh, the samosa chaat hit all the right tangy and spicy notes, and both the baingan bhartha and chicken tikka were delicious. But the malai chicken was the absolute standout so tender, juicy, and perfectly seasoned! You can tell everything is made with care. The portions were generous, and the service was warm and attentive. Definitely one of the best Indian meals we've had in the area. Can't wait to come back and try more!

    Tandoori Platter for 2 - lamb and chicken
    kristin c.

    Last minute pick while on busy MacDougal St., near West 4th- Washington Sq subway stop. Small place, around 6-8 tables, mostly seats 2 each. Calm atmosphere. Service was great. Had papadum - 2 crispy lentil wafers with tamarind (sweet) and mint-cucumber (a bit spicy) chutneys. And tandoori mix platter for 2: lamb and chicken pieces and kababs, with sides of rice, dal and naan. All delicious. Got a complimentary serving of rice pudding with shaved almonds and raisins.

    The tandoori chicken at Mint Masala is juicy and oozing with unctuous finger licking flavor. This chicken is freshly made which takes time but it is worth the wait. Last night Natalya had invited me to have dinner with her at Mint Masala. This was her favorite Indian restaurant. Had she been to many I asked? Apparently years ago she used to frequent restaurants on East 6th Street which was not authentic Indian cuisine. While waiting, I ordered papad which came with hari (green) and tamarind chutneys. Natalya arrived and exclaimed that she had never eaten papad. She liked it. She always orders the same dish of Navratan Korma, a vegetarian curry with mixed vegetables ($18.99). Natalya asked for potatoes and peas. Tandoori chicken and garlic naan were my choices. The food came and the platter of half tandoori chicken looked stunning. The naan was equally delicious. Plain white rice is given with every entrée. Natalya had never eaten a garlic naan, took one and exclaimed that it was scrumptious. She ordered it and proceeded to eat the four triangles in one go! I ate half of the chicken and took the rest home. We enjoyed our dinner. Jamtsho known as James in the restaurant looked after us well. Initially I was hesitant about the cuisine as Mint Masala has a grade pending rating. However the tandoori chicken was so delicious that I plan on returning. There is a restroom in the back down some stairs. This is a small space and at first there were no Indians eye and ten some students came. The lamb korma was a favorite order.

    I visited on a whim while walking down the street looking for a restaurant that accepted card. It was the start of lunch time so this location was fairly empty at 1130am. The server was not very clear when explaining the items on the menu but eventually we ended up with Chicken Zafrani and some naan. The meal it self was delicious and the bread was so yummy and made by scratch. The reason for the 2 stars was the cleanliness of the restaurant itself. After our meal, we asked to use the restroom to freshen up and that's when we quickly realized how unsafe and unsanitary this place really is. in order to use the restroom, you must go through the narrow kitchen which is a wall of active flames (stove) and then you'd go up makeshift stairs into the bathroom which is filled with roaches and unclean... very gross. will not be coming back.

    This Indian restaurant in Greenwich Village is reliably good with very reasonable prices. The space is very small, I saw maybe 5 tables, but I called ahead and the staff was very accommodating in holding a table for my party. We ordered the chaat, Bombay fish curry, chicken tikka masala, and chana saag, along with some naan and mango lassi. All the curries came with generous sides of rice. The food was delicious all around, and it all came out to $100 with tip automatically included which was pretty good value. The service was also very warm and attentive throughout. Definitely recommend!

    Probably the worst Aloo paratha in New York City
    Deep S.

    I've been coming here for over a year and it's been a great hole in the wall. Today was a completely different story. There seemed to be a huge amount of stress when I entered. The lady owner asked me to pay upfront so I did (unusual). I ordered aloo paratha. They normally cut it up into 8 slices and pack the yogurt (goes with the aloo paratha), napkins etc. When my food came out, it wasn't cut, no yogurt, no napkins ... so I asked for it. More attitude from the lady. When I opened the paratha there was aloo on only one side of the paratha. This is mind blowing, never been treated this way by my own people. Disgusting. Also my chai didn't have sugar after I requested it when preparing . "You can put the sugar in yourself" she said. Wow! And finally, here's a pic of my falling apart, uncut, lopsided aloo paratha featuring receipt. Ps. Wishing half a star was an option.

    Tempura Cauliflower with ginger sauce
    Ru M.

    My friend and I came here because we were very hungry and we couldn't decide what to get. We both enjoy Indian food so we decided to give this place a shot. I ordered Veggie Fasal, we got Biryani rice, ginger cauliflower, and some other cashew cream and veggie dish. I asked my waitress about my dish bc it was my first time ever trying it. I asked if it had sauce and she said yes. We also ordered Mulligitawny soup. After ordering we realized we ordered too much and hadn't consulted each other on our food choices to share. I tried to cancel the soup, I was denied. No worries the soup was actually good. Very warming. The ginger cauliflower actually had a very familiar taste, it was decent. I would order again. When we got to my dish, the Fasal, that's where it gets interesting. I asked if my dish had sauce bc I like saucy dishes. Turns out it was like grilled veggies with a spicy yogurt coating. Definitely not a sauce and coudnt be confused for sauce. I think our server was so focused on getting us to get the a dish, she embellished so very important details. The Fasal wasn't bad, it just want what I wanted and also seemed more of a side than a main dish. It was literally just a small portion of grilled veggies. My friend wasn't a fan of her dish the flavor was okay just small portion size and again more like an appetizer than a main. The Biryani was a miss. Definitely wasn't $16 worth in terms or taste, flavor or freshness. Hard pass on that. I would could not see myself ordering here in the future.

    Love the name of this Indian restaurant in the West Village! I came here with a friend for dinner on a Friday night and even though it's a small place, we were seated immediately. Inside, it is cool and comfortable. I ordered a mango lassi (one of my favorite drinks!) and lamb korma. The mango lassi came in a lovely rounded square shaped glass. It was a lovely bright orange color and quite thick, just the way I like it. The drink was refreshing and sweet. The lamb korma came in a metal bowl and had sliced almonds sprinkled on top. There was plenty of delicious tasting sauce, which had strong flavors of cashew and saffron. The sauce was beautifully smooth. There were plenty of pieces of lamb, which was incredibly tender, juicy and soaked up the sauce really well. This also came with white rice which complemented the dish perfectly. My friend ordered some naan bread, which was served warm and was thin, slightly crispy with butter on top. Very yummy! There was no bathroom to be seen, but we were allowed to use one in the back. However to get to it, we had to walk through the kitchen which was kind of awkward. The service was great. Our waiter was very nice and on top of it. I do think the pricing is a little high, but to be expected given the neighborhood. I would return to share the tandoori sampler which comes with all different types of meat and naan!

    Walking in, and looking at how small the space was, I didn't know what to expect. But we really enjoyed the food. Everything was delicious.

I've done that twice and still ended up taking food home. Drink prices are in line with mid-town Manhattan but $12 for a bottle of San Pellegrino is a little excessive. I'd be okay with $8 or $9 but I guess a few bucks in the grand scheme of things is not the end of the world.

It also smelled heavenly. We decided to keep the good vibes going after the most fun night - BTS concert - since this was near our hotel, we got in line around 11:30pm? They're open until super late. Didn't even spend that long in line to be honest, or maybe I just didn't mind the wait? When you get closer to the front, the line splits into two - not sure what the system is logically but it does help with ordering faster. We got one platter for 2 people - Mixed Platter which includes rice, lamb, chicken, and a slice of pita. You also have the option to pile on some crispy french fries (why would you reject fries) and get a drizzle of various sauces. I very intelligently opted for the hot sauce on the side, and was so grateful for that because it does pack a punch! Gosh, this was so delicious.
