| - I went here with some friends during our recent vegas stay. It was really awesome. Going to vegas, people always rave about the food, but I've never really found anything food wise that I cant live without.
I am a vegetarian for almost 9 years now and most buffets are meat/seafood heavy and I just don't see the value in paying for salad. That makes indian food a really attractive option for me. I was with 7 other people and we settled on indian after a little bit of back and forth negotiations.
I am really glad we did! First, its a little off the strip so parking was easy to find. Coming with 8 people isn't always easy to accommodate without reservations but Mint was more than accommodating.
We had excellent service. We had a free appetizer and our glasses were always filled before we had to ask.
The menu was fairly extensive. There were a lot of options, including many of the traditional indian favorites: naan, kormas, masalas, etc.
The portions were generous, served quickly and hot. My veggie korma was really good. All around everyone was very happy with the dishes they ordered.
Some of the items we ordered included:
Veggie Korma
Lamb Korma
Naan- Garlic and Plain
Rice
Dinner special menu set 1
Mango Lassis
And Chicken Masala.
The korma was smooth and not gritty. Gritty korma is a pet peeve of mine. The dinner set came in traditional metal serving trays with many little sides. They didn't make a fuss in my request to substitute 2 of the meat options for vegetarian options. The vegetables were cooked correctly and not mushy/overcooked.
The spice level was low for me but I also have a very high spice tolerance. Everyone else seemed to think it was around medium spicy.
We split the check in 2, which they didn't give us any heartache about.
I'd recommend it as a nice, calm place to get a solid, tasty, dinner while in Vegas- especially if you have a larger group and don't want to fight with the long lines at buffets. Also Mint is really vegetarian friendly. All in all, a great experience. =)
