I can't believe I have waited this long to try The Mynt. We've been living in Campbell for the past 7 years and every time I wanted Indian food, we would drive to familiar Indian restaurants we've been to before in Santa Clara or Mountain View, while the Mynt was so close to home. We tried the butter chicken, samosas and plain naan and all were so delicious. This restaurant will be my now go-to Indian restaurant. I'm so thrilled I found this restaurant and I'm looking forward to trying more dishes on the menu!

Can't believe it took me 25 years to try Indian food for the first time and I feel like I've been daydreaming about butter chicken ever since my visit at The Mynt. My friend insisted on taking me here as it is a classic and reminds her of authentic flavors at home. Sign me right up please! The interior space was pretty nice and clean, and the service provided was also great! I can see how parking can be limited especially during lunch and dinner rushes, just a note to be mindful of. The samosas were so crunchy and fluffy in the best way possible. Taking a bite into the soft pillowy goodness of potatoes and peas is a feeling I'd like to savor. I enjoyed the tandoori chicken, however I definitely had a few more helpings of their amazing butter chicken dipped with garlic naan. I could eat that combination for days on end!! Can't forget that I had their delightful mango lassi to pair with my lunch too! Everything was spectacular and can't wait to have more outings here.

This was my family's first time back to the particular restaurant post pandemic. We used to come here for family birthdays, but when the pandemic happened, we stayed home. Since my dad is a meat eater, and my stepbrother is a vegetarian and it was a dinner honoring him, he picked the particular spot. Lol my dad and stepsister were able to order dishes while my brother got Vegetarian ones and my mom got a fish dish. I really enjoyed the vegetarian samosas and the curry although the curry was pretty spicy and it did not state that it would be as spicy as it was on the menu. Lol then again I do know this is Indian food and spice pallet is much more advanced than mine. Server and we were able to get our food in an adequate amount of time. I really liked the ambience of the private room we were in and my dad and Boyfriend really liked the fact that the Olympics was on and they split the TV into quadrants! Lol they were able to semi catch up on the Olympics since we were eating dinner. Lol. The restaurant itself was a rather dark and relaxing or had a lot of earth tones with beautiful paintings and statues. I really liked the subtle on of the paintings and wall fixtures. I will definitely like to go back again and get more samosas!!!

It was MYNT to be a great lunch with colleagues at Mynt. Service was great and glasses were always filled with water. It is a classy ambiance. We had the butter chicken, the paneer sizzler plate, naan, and vegetarian biryani. Everything was delicious and fresh. Quality food if you ask me. Sorry no pics as it would look weird in front of work colleagues. Parking was plentiful during weekday lunch hour.

Overall, lovely restaurant, serving Indian Classics and many regional Indian dishes. I came here for the weekend buffet although items are limited quality is 5/5. You could tell that there's a lot of quality in the ingredients being used and they are not cutting corners in the buffet. Naan is spectacular! Buffet price is very good too for the quality of food. Definitely would come again! They also have a giant a la carte menu (i recommend every tandoor item--my fave!) and weekday thali which is amazing. Food: This review is for the weekend buffet food only. Overall good buffet they did cover a lot of vegetarian and non-vegetarian items. I did feel like there was not enough spice or lemon in some of the dishes. But what I did really appreciate was that the ingredients were very quality and it was not overly greasy. Quality masala and ingredients are being used. Note that the regular menu items when you order à la cart have more punchy flavors. Love that they kept butter chicken, panipuri, and Pav bhaji in the buffet! All dishes were made well, not greasy, and there is something very homey about the cooking here! I normally only go for nonveg but even veg dishes here were great. Meat is also halal! Service: Service was top-notch. I came here on saturday for lunch. I never felt like I was unattended to . The waiters always were looking at our table and and making sure we got enough naan and water. The naan here is amazing!! All tandoor items are fantastic. Atmosphere: Clean, well kept, and has a warm environment in this restaurant. There is a free parking lot next to the restaurant.

Quiet spot of quality. We came in with low expectations as the restaurant looks like an old fast food location for jack in the box. But once we parked and walked In boy were we wrong. It is all white linen table cloths, and quiet. Great place for a date where you can hear each other. Service is very attentive. We ordered an app and a couple entries. This is a place that you should experience in person. They pay so much attention to detail on every plate. Everything from start to finish was 5 star. Malabar shrimp started us out. The fennel and spice was perfect, the plate was art. The mains we had were tandoori and tikka chicken. I've eaten all over the world and don't often say epic but wow. I was running late home since then and ordered to go... it wasn't the same. Go in person, trust me.
