Mint & Martini is a great lunch or dinner option in Wildwood, MO!…read more Their menu is primarily traditional Indian dishes but they also serve limited Italian and American inspired dishes as well. This is a delicious sit-down, full-service restaurant for Wildwood to have. We throughly enjoyed the Tandoori Chicken and the Paneer Tikka Masala. Both were flavorful and tasted very fresh and vibrant. Our server was attentive and friendly despite having other tables and assisting with takeout and answering phones. Mint & Martini has a full bar with an emphasis on allocated bourbon. The atmosphere is upscale with modern décor. The restaurant space itself is huge and can accommodate large reservations and parties easily. There's a very nice patio with an outdoor bar perfect for summertime and will be even better when the weather is less hot during Spring and Fall. We will continue to choose Mint & Martini for dinner out in West St. Louis County.

The food is outstanding, and the restaurant itself has a beautiful atmosphere. It's easily one of…read moremy favorite places to eat, which is why I visit two or three times a month. If you're a bourbon enthusiast, you'll appreciate their impressive selection of allocated bottles. However, their pricing could use some improvement. The bottles are priced on the high side, and I don't like that they use two different pricing models. If you order online, you'll pay more than if you call in or order in person, so it's worth knowing before you place an order. Despite that pricing concern, the quality of the food keeps me coming back regularly. If they addressed the pricing inconsistencies, this place would be even better

A perfect combo of grocery shopping and delicious dining, all in one spot. Their vast selection make shopping a breeze, while the simple, classy decor sets the vibe. Tried the Indo-Chinese: chili chicken and haka noodles, absolutely delicious! The samosa chaat and dahi puri are must-tries, and the Irani chai is a hit! Trust me, even if you get nothing else, grab a cup to go! The food packaging is top-notch, with tins you can take home if you don't finish. Perfect for summer chaat and hangouts. They do have a long wait, but they have a kiosk to off set the lines too. Their outdoor seating will be amazing as well on long summer nights. Highly recommend!  #stlhalalfoodie #DesiBites #Kornak #chaat #stlfoodfinds https://www.instagram.com/reel/DYxDBtEqNNv/?igsh=MTh3Z2xibnFqNTdjdA==

Decent place in a strip mall. We tried gobi Manchurian , chilli paneer , burnt garlic ( my fav ) fried rice with robust garlic flavor, Hakka noodle which I felt was bland and needed flavor booster , momos we tried paneer and veg both were bland . We ordered level 3 but felt it was not on par with Indian spice and could have gone 4 or 5 . Would try if in the area but wouldn't go out of my way to come here. Prices were not cheap either but they do run weekly deals on various plates so good to try more then.

They seem very aware of warning people about which dishes are and are not spicy, just in case you are not as enthusiastic about spicy food. I had the chicken saag, which had the smooth flavor that I'm used to. It was even more flavorful than I've had before, which may have been attributable to more garlic. She had the chicken chetinadu, which was also very flavorful and a bit spicy. The masala mule was a fun spin on the Moscow mule, with garam masala. The servers were attentive and the interior is fresh, new, and inviting. We will be back, and hope they do well in Wildwood.

I personally really like the lunch sets, which i think are a good deal and taste pretty good. i also think they do bread really well here, so keep that in mind if you order some dishes with curry the only thing i would advise these guys is to serve the salad for the lunch set on the side. there is way too much water in the greens, and it tends to make the rice and the curry watery. on the other hand of things, the heat from the curry and the rice sort of 'cook' the greens, which really changes the taste of the greens themselves (worse). serving it on the side would solve both problems

The biscoff shake was nothing short of amazing. But the real star was the pizza. A really solid crust, heaps of gooey cheese, the right proportion of ingredients to allow the flavors to pop (and good quality ingredients to boot), and a wonderful curry masala sauce. This is how fusion cuisine is supposed to be- the best of both worlds that comes together in a way that is both new and comfortably familiar. Staff was polite and service was fast. I can't wait to bring my family next time. I have some picky eaters and some adventurous eaters (I also have serious food allergies) and there is something here for everyone.

I just don't know what to say. This would be such a bi-polar review…read more So I've never eaten in, we just got to go orders twice. The Butter Chicken was really good. It's as you'd expect from a nice place like this. But the Chicken Korma....how horrible. It's not the flavour, the flavour is good. But they chop up chicken and put it in, bones, cartilage and all. (pictures) So you can't take a bite of food without having to analyze it with your teeth to make sure youre not biting into something hard. It's worse than the restaurants that serve you a pasta dish with shrimp but the tails are still attached so you have to coat your fingers in alfredo sauce just to be able to eat your food. The dish was wholly disappointing because it was pretty much inedible. The naan bread is tortilla-like, it's not really the nice, fluffy bread you'd expect. (picture) The rice was nice and fluffy. Some good things but only three stars because of the inedible dish. We'll order other things next time, and there will be a next time no problem. Updated review to follow I'm sure.

I asked for low spice and it's possible I was given no spice. I could have gone for a little more heat, but not very much more. I stuffed myself and had leftovers. I'd return.

Before I ventured there on a Saturday evening, I tried to call several times to ask some menu…read morequestions but no one ever picked up the call. I was hopeful that they were possibly just very busy at that moment. The parking lot is shared with several other businesses located in this plaza. There is disabled parking in front of the business, but the ramp is in front of Sauce on the Side next door. As I entered this casual spot, they were very busy on this Saturday night. You can place your order online or at the walk up counter. There were several people in front of me, but the line moved fast. The menu is on the board behind the counter and you can see some of the fresh items displayed. There are some tables inside the restaurant if you decide to stay. It seems that the majority of the people ordered takeout. I ordered the onion pakoda, which is similar to onion straws, and it was a huge serving, enough for 2-4 people. It was served warm and crispy. The onions were sweet and the fried batter had good flavor. I tried the weekend special, which were 3 vegetarian choices out of 5-6: Palak Paneer, Paneer Butter Masala and Eggplant curry. Rice or naan does not come with it. It costs extra. The garlic naan was fresh and flavorful. The Palak Paneer was adequate, mildly spiced, and about what I expected. The paneer butter masala was well-spiced and had a slight capsaicin kick. The eggplant curry was absolutely delicious and rather spicy. I'm glad I had a drink close by. This was a very good value as I had enough leftover for another meal.
