| - Mint Bistro is an unassuming gem in the University section of Las Vegas. Right across the street from UNLV on Flamingo, Mint Bistro is one of the best Indian restaurants in town. The University/ Paradise section of town already has around 5-6 great Indian restaurants, but Mint Bistro is the best.
The outside of the restaurant makes you think that it is a take-out restaurant, but once you walk in you will feel welcomed by the comfortable Indian decor. I have been to Mint Bistro about 5 times, and have always had great food. My favorite dish is the Saag Paneer, which is house-made Cheese sauteed with spinach. They make a very good version of one of my favorite Indian dishes. I also really like the Mango Masala with Chicken. This dish combines the classic flavors of a Chicken Masala with the sweet Mango flavor. The other dish I usually try to get is the Rebel Curry. Very flavorful, but spicy, curry, served with your choice of meat. If you are a vegetarian, Mint Bistro has many options for you, but if you eat meat you have many options, too.
Mint Bistro also has a great selection of Belgian Beers. My favorite that I had was the Duchesse de Bourgogne, but they have many more. Although it sounds random for a Indian restaurant to have a great selection of Belgian beers, they have some of the best I have seen. Definitely try the great pairing of the beer with the Indian food.
If you are looking for Indian and Nepalese food with a twist, definitely try Mint!
