This was my second visit to Mint Restaurant, and overall, it was still a good experience. The vibe is pleasant and the service was friendly and attentive. However, the food wasn’t quite as consistent as my first visit. Last time, the Chicken Karahi stood out as their best dish — flavorful and well-balanced. I may come back again and hope to have that same quality and taste on my next visit.

Mint catered my wedding welcome party and they were absolutely FANTASTIC – the food, the staff, the careful planning. They worked with the grungy space we gave them, used the space well, and set up the food in such an elegant way. We paid to have the tandoor on site so that all kababs and rotis could be cooked fresh, and it was worth it. My guests could not stop raving about the food – it was so incredible. I will 100% have them cater events for me in the future. I have also eaten in the restaurant, and the food is fantastic! Definitely eat here, and definitely ask them to cater your next event!

I promised my toddler chicken tikka masala, and stumbled into this spot. I called earlier to ask if they can make it mild for him to eat. FYI, they can make it both spicy or not hot. I was expecting the food to be average.
Upon entering it was a really nicely decorated restaurant and the vibe is not flashly, but comfortable and elegant. This place is perfect for date night, and and family.
IMPORTANT PART:
The food was really good. We got the chicken korma which was full of flavor and the chicken tikka masala. Now the chicken tikka masala was the best I have ever had, anywhere period. I’ve been too south asian restaurants Irvine, Artesia, Diamond Bar, Toronto, none came close to this. You could tell it was made from raw ingredients and freshly made, full of flavor in every bite, and cooked to perfection. I kept trying to be fair and recall which restaurant was probably better. I have to say this is #1 period for chicken tikka masala.

I recently visited Mint in Laguna Hills, and I was blown away by the incredible flavors and warm hospitality! The chicken tikka masala was absolutely delicious—rich, creamy, and perfectly spiced. The lamb karahi was another standout dish, packed with bold flavors and tender meat.

The ambiance is casual and welcoming, making it a great spot for family gatherings or dinners with friends. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable, taking the time to explain the menu and offer recommendations.

I also loved the butter chicken and Dal Tadka—both were flavorful and paired well with the fresh naan. The portions were generous, and the prices were reasonable for the quality of food.

I can’t recommend Mint enough if you’re craving authentic Indian and Pakistani cuisine

Experience- Awesssoooomeee
Food – delicious.

Let me start by saying Khoshboo and her team is the best thing about MINT. We had our wedding dinner there. With everything else making our life hectic, MINT made it super easy! Can’t express how helpful and welcoming they were. I personally had many items on their menu. Starting from magnificent mocktails to the creamy chicken karahi; I even could not resist myself from tasting their lamb (I don’t eat lamb). So delicious. Thanks a lot Khoshboo and team for making our wedding dinner so enjoyable. All guests loved it. My personal favorite is gajrella though

One of the nicest hidden gems in OC. The food is delicious! Their Afghan dishes are so unique. The atmosphere is very nice and comforting. Great for families, groups, or just date night. We love every dish on their menu! On a quest to have them all 🙂

Our absolute favorite restaurant in the area! The service is always warm and friendly. The atmosphere is incredible with such attention to detail in the decor, tableware, music, etc. And of course, the food is amazing! The bandar bun, samosa chaat, chili chicken, chicken tikki masala, and chicken karahi are must trys!! This is our go-to restaurant whenever we have guests in town. Thank you Mint we love you.
