Mintelaa — Restaurant in Kolkata

Updating the review after the Third time I visited this place today!! AWFUL SERVICE AND STAFF ATTITUDE. I definitely mean it when I say it. This place served Hookah that was Real Real bad.. complained about the same several times... No one seems to bother... After asking and eventually made to yell.. the person came up and was real rude on Face!! This place has definitely Gone down in terms of service and the same was faced by not just us... by others as well...

Definately NOT visiting this place ever again... For sure!!

One good place to Chill Out.. with almost Everything.. and I must say.. Food Was more than Sumptuous in here.. I ordered my Favs: Tandoori Chicken, Veg White Sauce Pasta and Some beverages.. Out of which the Pineapple 🍍 Mint Punch stand tall and Amazing of them all!! P.S. I dropped in here at an odd hour... Yes at 01:00 AM 😜 and it didn't seem that it's an odd Hour for them to serve their customers 😹!! Service was Prompt and Cool!! Ambiance was real good and charges of the F&B is quite pocket friendly. Having said that, food you get is completely Value for the amount you spend!! Worthy to be here again and again!! Be there to experience and Thank me...

Mintelaa, Gorky Sadan – Breakfast or Bootcamp?

Dropped by Mintelaa for what I hoped would be a relaxed breakfast with some hookah and decent vibes. What I got felt more like a test of patience and heat tolerance. • Staff? AWOL. There’s “laid-back service” and then there’s no service. We sat there wondering if we had to press a secret buzzer or maybe do a little dance to summon someone. Spoiler: nothing worked. • Hookah That Ghosted Us Ordered a hookah, but the smoke was so light it could’ve qualified as a disappearing act. At one point, I questioned if it was even turned on or just there for decoration. • Ambience Featuring… a Broken AC! Nothing adds to a breakfast like a hot, sticky room with zero ventilation. The AC was non-functional, and I swear even the hookah coal felt cooler than the air around us.

Final thoughts? If you’re into imaginary hookahs, invisible staff, and a complimentary heatstroke, Mintelaa delivers 10/10. But if you’re looking for comfort, service, or any kind of working system—maybe just grab a chai from the nearest stall and save yourself the drama.

Rating: 1.5/5 – For the aesthetics that fooled me...

Mintelaa, Gorky Sadan – Where You Serve Yourself, Sweat It Out & Pretend You’re Smoking

Walked into Mintelaa expecting a chill breakfast spot. What I got instead was an immersive survival experience—minus the food being cooked on a campfire (though that might’ve helped with the AC situation). • Service? What Service? There was literally no one attending. I started wondering if it was some social experiment—“How long can you sit before giving up and taking your own order to the kitchen?” • Hookah Dreams, Gone in Thin Air Ordered a hookah, but the smoke was so light I thought it was just my imagination. If you enjoy paying for flavored air and straining your eyes to see any smoke—this place has you covered. • Ambience Meltdown (Literally) The AC wasn’t working. Nothing screams “relax and enjoy” like sweating through your T-shirt while trying to look cool with a ghost hookah.

To sum it up: If you’re into DIY dining, invisible hookah clouds, and a free sauna experience—Mintelaa is your new paradise. Otherwise, maybe wait till they fix… well, everything.

Rating: A generous 2/5. One star for the chairs, and another...
