The tandoori chicken at Mint Masala is juicy and oozing with unctuous finger licking flavor. This chicken is freshly made which takes time but it is worth the wait. On Thursday evening, Natalya had invited me to have dinner with her at Mint Masala. This was her favorite Indian restaurant. Had she been to many I asked? Apparently years ago she used to frequent restaurants on East 6th Street which in my opinion was not authentic Indian cuisine. While waiting, I ordered papad which came with hari (green) and tamarind chutneys. Natalya arrived and exclaimed that she had never eaten papad. She liked it. She always orders the same dish of Navratan Korma, a vegetarian curry with mixed vegetables ($18.99). Natalya asked for potatoes and peas. Tandoori chicken and garlic naan were my choices. The food came and the platter of half tandoori chicken looked stunning. The naan was equally delicious. Plain white rice is given with every entrée. Natalya had never eaten a garlic naan, took one and exclaimed that it was scrumptious. She ordered it and proceeded to eat the four triangles in one go! I ate half of the chicken and took the rest home. We enjoyed our dinner. Jamtsho known as James in the restaurant looked after us well. Initially I was hesitant about the cuisine as Mint Masala has a grade pending rating. However the tandoori chicken was so delicious that I plan on returning. There is a restroom in the back down some stairs. This is a small space and at first there were no Indians eye and ten some students came. The lamb korma was a favorite order.

I have had lunch here a few times and thought it was OK for a neighborhood place. Not special but decent. It really depends what you order though. The chicken tikka masala today was basically just chicken in a tomato sauce with hardly any spices or taste of Indian food. Not sure I will eat here again. In NYC there are so many better options.
