    I think I just found my favorite Indian restaurant. I was bragging about it work the next day and my South Asian friends already knew about it and even had food catered from there for special occasions so clearly I'm the last to know about this great find. We were simply looking for a place to eat before a show at the south bay musical theater and this was the most convenient. The exterior almost turned us away as it's pretty vintage but don't let that fool you. Every entree was spectacular.

    Wow! It's better than the Royal Taj near by. A lot better! They offer an Excellent lunch buffet at The Mynt! Only Indian buffet I have been able to find anywhere close to San Jose. Good variety of vegetarian and meat choices; the food quality is great, especially the Saag Panner and Dahl. Included a refreshing salad with gourmet greens and strips of mango. The kheer was the best I have experienced, the consistency just right not soupy like some. Very pleasing experience.

    We first visited when we moved to bayarea almost 14 years ago. I recall having Pani puri on their buffet back then, to my pleasant surprise they had Pani puri on the buffet when we visited recently again. Restaurant clearly caters to a very westernized palate. I am sure they did well back when there weren't as many authentic Indian restaurants in this area. With the influx of some really outstanding Indian restaurants, some even better than what we have back in India this restaurant now pales in comparison. They had buffet for lunch on Saturday. Not a lot of items on the menu but they had typical Indian dishes like saag, butter chicken, tandoori chicken, pakora, flavored rice etc. They also had Pani puri and pav bhaji. Naan was served tableside. Across the board the dishes lacked flavor. They were fresh so no complaints there. The Pani puri water was sweet instead of its typical spicy, sour taste. The buns they used for the pav bhaji were dense and sweet instead of light and airy. This sort of Indian food is typical of small towns which do not have a large Indian population. But since that's not the case here it's time they amped up their game.

    We live in the neighborhood and have driven past Mynt for years but never stopped in. Truthfully, ordering Indian food makes me nervous because nothing is familiar to me so I'm always skeptical about what to order. My Dad's 70th was yesterday and he decided he wanted Indian food and decided to try The Mynt and I'm so glad we finally went!! We arrived (party of 6) at 6pm on a Friday and was a little concerned because the place was empty with the exception of one other table. But the dinning room was lovely with dark woods and they even have a very nice private room for large parties. And can I just tell you how truly fantastic the service was?! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm welcomes and friendly smiles. There's A LOT of menu options which was a little intimidating for this newbie. Everything sounded good though. My Dad knew he wanted the grilled lamb chops and we asked our server to help us order the rest which he gladly did. Everything was served family style which was awesome. Here's what we had: SAMOSAS - pea and potato with two really yummy dipping sauces. GRILLED LAMB - super flavorful and brought to the table sizzling. Naan - assorted basket of yumminess RICE - we got two kinds and I forget what they were but the veggie one was our favorite. YELLOW LENTILS - these were mild in flavor and in heat which my mom liked as she can't handle to much spice at all. TANDOORI CHICKEN - this was really flavorful with a mild spice level. Served sizzling over grilled onions. MANGO CRÈME BRULE - our server brought this out knowing it was my Dad's Birthday which I thought was really nice. My daughter got the whole restaurant to sing to him. The dessert was tasty and we each got a nice little bite after a delicious meal. We also had another dish which I can't remember the name of but it was literally spicy peppers in sauce. A little too hot for my taste but good flavors. Over all this is a gem that we've been sleeping on for far too long. I can't speak highly enough about the service and food. The only thing I'd say is the room felt really dark once the sun went down. But other than that, I'd go back to try some other items on their very extensive menu. Oh! And by the time we finished our meal I looked around and the dinning room was PACKED!

    It was my first time here! Good customer service, nice interior, and good food. I really enjoyed eating the chicken tikka masala. The goat curry was good but I think it was a alittle too watery but overall it was really good.

    Can't believe it took me 25 years to try Indian food for the first time and I feel like I've been daydreaming about butter chicken ever since my visit at The Mynt. My friend insisted on taking me here as it is a classic and reminds her of authentic flavors at home. Sign me right up please! The interior space was pretty nice and clean, and the service provided was also great! I can see how parking can be limited especially during lunch and dinner rushes, just a note to be mindful of. The samosas were so crunchy and fluffy in the best way possible. Taking a bite into the soft pillowy goodness of potatoes and peas is a feeling I'd like to savor. I enjoyed the tandoori chicken, however I definitely had a few more helpings of their amazing butter chicken dipped with garlic naan. I could eat that combination for days on end!! Can't forget that I had their delightful mango lassi to pair with my lunch too! Everything was spectacular and can't wait to have more outings here.

    One of our favorite Indian buffet lunch spots! They always have our favorite butter chicken and tandoori chicken and some various different selections of chicken (and sometimes lamb) and veggies available during lunch. I appreciate the raita and tamarind chutney to help my non-spicy palate survive. They also have chai available too.

    This was my family's first time back to the particular restaurant post pandemic. We used to come here for family birthdays, but when the pandemic happened, we stayed home. Since my dad is a meat eater, and my stepbrother is a vegetarian and it was a dinner honoring him, he picked the particular spot. Lol my dad and stepsister were able to order dishes while my brother got Vegetarian ones and my mom got a fish dish. I really enjoyed the vegetarian samosas and the curry although the curry was pretty spicy and it did not state that it would be as spicy as it was on the menu. Lol then again I do know this is Indian food and spice pallet is much more advanced than mine. Server and we were able to get our food in an adequate amount of time. I really liked the ambience of the private room we were in and my dad and Boyfriend really liked the fact that the Olympics was on and they split the TV into quadrants! Lol they were able to semi catch up on the Olympics since we were eating dinner. Lol. The restaurant itself was a rather dark and relaxing or had a lot of earth tones with beautiful paintings and statues. I really liked the subtle on of the paintings and wall fixtures. I will definitely like to go back again and get more samosas!!!

I don't remember much about the place so I got no positive or negative experiences I can compare to this visit. I have been to many similar buffets all over Northern California so my expectations are not too high here. My first attack was the sushi bar. Very good sushi selection for lunch. Comparable Tomi and World Gourmet Buffet in Fremont. No complaints. Made my way to the hot foods. Some familiar and some different items. First time seeing curry beef. The stir fry rice noodle they had was bland so I put the curry over it. It was good, I got a second helping. They had a pork ribs soup with either wintermelon or radish, couldn't tell what it was but it gave the soup some sweetness to it. If you're Asian you might have had it at home. It is light and soothing. Different than the usual hot and sour soup which they had but I skipped. Those were the two items I wanted to talk about in my review as no other Asian buffet had these. There are other typical items, aren't much different from other places so I'll keep this short. Must finish your meal with soft serve ice cream! It's comparable to McDonald's just doesn't have the strong vanilla flavor McDonald's has. I got a second cone for the road. I will come back one more time with my dad as he loves buffet like I do.
