About Mint

  • Party Room Available

Midtown Manhattan gets a new flavor in Indian cuisine with Mint. Owner Gary Sikka, who besides being a successful businessman, is a chef with 18 years of culinary experience has created an Indian restaurant that celebrates the food of the North and the South, and presents it in a way that today's dining public relates to. The 110 seat restaurant is decorated brightly with orange, red, and fuscia drum lights snuggled together throughout the long dining room, and painted panels of mint, yellow, and green that hang over striped banquettes. There is a semi-private room complete with audio video equipment that seats 12. The definition of mint is "an aromatic refreshing herb that serves as a central ingredient in accompaniment sauces in Indian cuisine." Gary Sikka is taking great pride in bringing NY an exemplary dining experience presented in a tranquil and exhilarating atmosphere.  View Less View More

Excellent place for Authentic Indian cuisine. I"ve been to Mint a couple of times now and it's always been a great experience for me.... I celebrated my B-day dinner there along w/10-12 friends and it was one of the most amazing indian food i"ve ever tasted.....They have a really great selection of veg. and non-veg appetizers and main menu....i loved it because a couple of my friends are vegetarian so it was a wonderful experience for them to have such a vast variety of veg items.....I would absolutely recemment this place to everyone for a great dinner and an amazing time because of the gorgeous interior and environment>>>>>Totally worth it :)

A GREAT FIND. I dined at Mint after reading gr8 reviews here on CitySearch and im glad that i did. I enjoyed a great Restaurant Week menu along with a great service in an extraordinary ambiance. Mint definitely crushes competition with its upbeat and modern looks & great food to go with it.
