Mintt Indian Cuisine

I have only ordered for delivery, but the food is always fresh, hot, and packaged well. Oh, and DELICIOUS. I’ve ordered butter chicken from other Indian restaurants, but now they all taste like disappointment in comparison. The butter chicken here is SO good. Their garlic naan is also fantastic. I haven’t had anything here I’ve been disappointed with. Do yourself a favor, eat here.

The food here was very good. In my experience, they are spot on with spiciness levels too. I asked for medium and it was perfectly medium. The place is kinda sparse, relying mostly on 2 large TVs. Or maybe they were just too distracting to notice anything remarkable. The service was not great. I went with an Indian friend and they asked him for the information they wanted from me.

How often do you have a meal that you love so much you want to yell about it from the virtual (or IRL) rooftops? I want to tell everyone I know about Mintt. I consider myself pretty well traveled in terms of the Pittsburgh food scene and somehow I've slept on Mintt. We ordered via Doordash on the first cold, rainy Fall evening of the year and it was EXACTLY what I needed. I had the Lamb Vindaloo with Garlic Naan and I could not have been happier. I'm a wimp when it comes to spice and the Medium had me sweating and swearing but it was the kind of spice that is enjoyable. Not just hot to be hot but with so much flavor. The portions are big enough that it can easily be two meals and it held up as leftovers. Anyway - I'm posting this mostly because I just had to tell someone other than my husband but I'll be glad if it helps one person to have the delightful culinary experience I did.

The food at Mintt is what I feel to be very good. Unfortunately, the owners and/or staff do not treat their non-Indian customers very well at all, and actually quite rude. They literally have an annoyed look on their face when a “white” person walks in for dine-in. Every other table gets attentively served, while we “non-Indian white people will sit there being ignored until we “flag” their attention. The atmosphere is that of a former auto station or body shop type place, with very little change. And the really bad part is the restrooms. They are absolutely filthy. I’m pretty sure when a bathroom is that bad, the kitchen probably is equally as dirty. I find it hard to believe this place could ever pass a health department inspection (unless they pull some strings).
