Hitch Mint Leaf — Restaurant in North Hertfordshire

Myself and my partner dine here regularly and have collected the odd take away too. The restaurant is in a Tudor building and has a nice atmosphere with its wooden beams. The upstairs is less so with its carpeted flooring. The staff are always welcoming and polite. The food here is authentic and truly excellent. I usually have a house speciality king prawn dish as a main and share a pilau rice with my partner. He usually has a chicken house speciality. We normally have a side dish or two also. The servings of the mains are substantial with large pieces of chicken and many prawns. The choice of beers and wine is good too. A nice selection of desserts are available too. There are also fine starters but on this occasion we didn't have any. The price is slightly more expensive than the average Indian restaurant but it's justified as the quality here is so much better. We will always return.

Since the above review, we have returned many times. I'm not sure whether the restaurant has changed hands, but the staff are less attentive, and the food offerings have shrunk substantially. I always order a king prawn dish and last night had a king prawn hara jhol where there were merely 4 prawns which for around £16 was ludicrous. Previously, the dish was much more generous. My partner had the chicken tawa kata-kat, which again had only 6 small pieces of chicken when previously there was a lot more. The pilau rice and side dishes were smaller than before also. I know restaurants are suffering from high costs and are reducing servings but there comes a point where the meal doesn't represent value for...

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Mint Leaf, our local Indian restaurant, and I must say, it was an incredible experience from start to finish. The flavors that danced on my taste buds were simply extraordinary. Each dish at Mint Leaf was a symphony of spices and aromas, creating a culinary journey I won’t soon forget.

Not only did Mint Leaf excel in delivering an exceptional dining experience for individuals, but they also catered flawlessly to a large party I hosted. The staff at Mint Leaf went above and beyond to ensure that every guest was taken care of, accommodating various dietary preferences and ensuring that everyone felt welcome. Their attention to detail was truly remarkable.

What truly stood out was the warmth and friendliness of the Mint Leaf staff. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with genuine smiles and a sincere eagerness to make our experience memorable. The team at Mint Leaf was knowledgeable about the menu, offering suggestions and patiently answering our questions. Their attentive service made us feel valued and well-cared for throughout the evening.

I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to the entire team at Mint Leaf for creating such a delightful experience. Your dedication to delivering amazing flavors, accommodating large parties, and providing outstanding service is truly commendable. It is establishments like Mint Leaf that make our local dining scene shine.

Once again, thank you, Mint Leaf, for the wonderful memories and the impeccable dining experience. I can’t wait to visit again and indulge in your...

Excellent meal again at the Mint Leaf. Great service, great food and Bangla Beer. The poppadoms and pickles are always good, We like the sharer starter plates and we each have our favourite dishes. My wife loves the Chicken Korma and I the Patia But we both agree that the lamb samosas and the onion Bhaji are a must. don't miss out on the Nan, and wait until the ladies attention is distracted before dipping it in her korma sauce. Kingfisher, and Cobra are available but if you ask really nicely you can get one of my (not really mine but sourced at my behest) bottles of Bangla, once you have tried it I doubt the others will be in with a chance. The staff are always good and cannot do enough for you. There is some seating downstairs (around 14 or 16 covers I think) and a much larger area upstairs which can be used either if downstairs is full or if you want to bring a larger party. It is getting ever busier and it is best to phone beforehand and book a table but please avoid booking the night I...
