Lonely Planet review for Mint

This loungey late-night hang-out is popular with bar staff winding down after their shifts. But they don't just come to bitch about their non-tipping customers; Mint offers an eclectic, finger-licking menu of Nepalese, Tibetan and fusion delicacies that runs from spicy lamb cooked with apricots to almond-and-cashew pesto fettuccine. There's an equally diverse menu of regular DJ performances.

    Food: delicious, beer: excellent, service: friendly!

    TracyCAguy recommends this,

    Unique atmosphere with the DJ in the corner. Yes, the place is loud. Perhaps the lone drawback (if that is a drawback for you). We were turned away from the Sticky Wicket up the street because my niece is 18 (19 and up in the 'licensed' area after the dining room closes), but the bouncer suggested the mint. We enjoyed the food, the beer, and the locals at the next table were as friendly as the server after learning we were visitors.

    Cool Atmosphere

    vjtiff76 recommends this,

    Interesting selection of dishes - lots of curries, and sidecars with nuts. Don't go if you're a picky eater who doesn't like to try exotic dishes. This dark, loungey restaurant in the basement has some of the tastiest martinis and drinks in town. Dj's spin live on many nights. Ask about the daily specials (half price dishes), they're very affordable. You must have the momos (dumplings) - tasty!
