    Incredibly happy that Mint has finally reopened after the devastating fire a couple years ago. We had an awesome dinner during this “soft launch” period. The group ordered the chicken korma, chicken tikka masala, coconut curry shrimp and garlic naan. The flavors at Mint have so much depth. The protein was so tender. We can’t wait to come back.
