We had a really excellent lunch! Both the veg and chicken lunch specials were very well done.

This was my first time getting lunch there and it was memorable for all the wrong reasons. I ordered the lunch box, the tandoori chicken was dry and tasteless, the pakoras were brittle. I ordered Gobi Manchurian for carry out and that was dry also. To be fair, the cholay was hot, the naan was good but if I ever go back for lunch I’m skipping their lunchbox in favor of something freshly prepared.

Awful food, never recommend to anyone.
Went for dine in. Ordered Aloo Chat Papri, Chicken Kathi Roll, Goat Biriyani. The chicken in the Kati roll was undercooked! The rice in the biriyani was completely melted; tasted very bad. The goat pieces were not tender. After coming back to home, didn’t feel well for the entire night.Very bad experience!

Update June 2024:
Came back a full 5 years later after a terrible experience in 2019 (to which the owner never owned up). Sad to say, but the food is still lackluster and service even worse. I would not come here again. There are much better Indian options in the area that live up to their name and ratings (Royal Taj, Ananda)
Update 8/26/2019:
I went to Mint a couple weeks ago on a weekday morning for their buffet. It was my first time back in about 2 years since my last experience was rather subpar (see below). Still, I gave the place a shot and was pleasantly surprised to see a fully stocked buffet when I walked through the doors. The restaurant has kept up its cleanliness and great interior decor– it’s a place where you can spend some time dining.
However, the buffet continued to disappoint. Some food options weren’t ready when I arrived (10 minutes after opening) and there was no naan in the buffet. When I asked the server why there was no naan, he pointed out that they were serving paranthe as the bread for the day. Still, I noticed the servers bringing naan to other tables upon request– I just don’t see why he wouldn’t do the same for my table and why it isn’t standard fare in the first place. Certain dishes like the eggplant were delicious but some (chicken tikka, dal, a few others) were plain underwhelming. The selection includes cheaper-to-produce entrees and it becomes apparent when comparing this restaurant to other local offerings.
I was surprised when the purported owner of Mint reached out to me on Facebook (we’re not connected on the site) and asked me to elaborate on my experience. I gladly did so, hoping he’d take the review to heart and use it to improve my experience next time. He told me that ” Looks like no matter what we do can’t make you happy. And some of the things you talking about? Absolutely not true!!” No business owner should be criticizing a patron for giving an honest review and the interaction really brought my already low opinion of Mint even lower.

Mint just opened up and it’s got really decent reviews on Yelp and a couple solid ones on Google; however, I feel as though Mint really is not worth the hype. In short, the food simply isn’t up to the par and the service leaves a lot to be desired– especially when compared to other restaurants in the area (primarily Royal Taj and Ananda). It’s definitely not “the best Indian food ever” like other reviewers mention– and that’s what should make you wary of those reviews.
I came across Mint on a Saturday afternoon right when it was supposed to be open– but the doors were still locked. I finally called and the restaurant unlocked the door and I was ready for the weekend buffet. However, the buffet was still being prepared as I walked in, with next to nothing ready to eat. This was definitely a bummer but I waited anyway. Once the buffet was finally stocked, I sampled everything from the raita to the tandoori chicken to the channa masala. Frankly, nothing stood out and I didn’t find myself to enjoy any particular dish. The naan were fine but you’ve got to request it to your table.
The service is what really threw me off. My father and I were the first ones at the restaurant by 15 minutes– yet the waiters continued to service every other table instead of ours. Finally, after 10 minutes of waiting for some sort of naan or rice to have my buffet entrees with, I gave up and asked someone for some naan– and then it finally came. This shouldn’t be the case when you’re paying $15/person for a buffet. The overall lack of polish of the waiting staff was extremely noticeable too– common courtesies simply aren’t performed here like they are at Royal Taj, Ananda, or other comparable restaurants.
The restaurant has a pretty nice atmosphere– there’s tons of decorations on the walls and the silverware is just fine. Parking isn’t an issue either, which is great. Still, the subpar food, unpolished service, and relatively lackluster experience are enough to keep me from going back to Mint.

Judgment Day
The Good:
The atmosphere was relaxing, the establishment was clean, and the waiters were hospitable. I really did like the aesthetics. For the appetizer we had the vegetable pakora which came with chutney sauce. It was pretty good. For lunch, I had the vegetables biryani while my wife had the chicken kadai. We both thought the meals were delicious and satisfying. In addition, this place has a plethora of vegetarian options, so if you’re vegetarian, it is definitely the place to go. I even saw a few vegan options, as well.
The Bad:
This is a pricey restaurant. The drinks and food were a little on the expensive side.
The Judgment:
Nice atmosphere and great food just a little on the pricey side. I definitely recommend this place.

We were expecting another cafe-type restaurant with largely carry-out business. What I found, once you walk in the door, was a plush, beautiful and glittery fine dining restaurant in the middle of Clarksville. I had Chicken Tikka and a grilled vegetable platter. The food was quite good, and the sauces/curries were wonderful. They apparently have a buffet at lunchtime, so I might try that out.

Our second visit was just as delicious as our first! Such a diverse menu and you can control the heat level of any dish. We ordered extra food to take home! Drinks are generous. Highly recommend!

It is of course very cold outside, but inside the restaurant the temperature was less than 60 deg which is too cold to eat comfortably — I have been in many Indian restaurants all over the world and would rate Mint’s food as a C — we asked for medium spice but there was no heat at all — this is unfortunate

First time trying out Mint and it was good. The chicken tikka masala was very uniquely spiced and was quite good. The stuffed naan was also very good. The service was a bit absent, and being the only table in the place for most of our meal is more of an attention issue than staff or too many patrons. I would try it again for sure but absolutely have other Indian restaurants in the area that are my go to before this one.

Amazing Food!!! I’d say the Indo Chinese and the Dosa were the two best items! So fresh and tasty! It’s hard to find amazing South Indian and Indo Chinese in the same place…Will definitely be back. I’d give it 5 stars, but service was lacking. We had a larger party and they could have been more attentive. Will probably do pick up next time.
