The Mynt — Restaurant in San Jose

I had the unfortunate experience of dining at this restaurant's buffet, and it was hands down one of the worst Indian buffets I've ever had. I'm genuinely disappointed, and here's why:

Lackluster Buffet Selection: The buffet boasted a paltry variety of dishes, particularly non-vegetarian options. To be more specific, there were just 2-3 non-veg options available. It's unacceptable to charge customers for a buffet and offer such limited choices. This alone would deter me from ever returning.

Unacceptably Long Wait for Refills: I had the displeasure of waiting for nearly 20 minutes for the staff to replenish the empty trays. It was incredibly frustrating to watch them move at a snail's pace while hungry customers stared at empty containers. It's as if they had no regard for the patrons' time or satisfaction.

Tasteless Food: The food I encountered was not only prepared quickly but also lacked any semblance of flavor. It was as though the chefs threw ingredients together haphazardly without any care for the final result. Indian cuisine is celebrated for its rich, aromatic flavors, but this was a tasteless disappointment.

Unreachable Management: When I inquired about speaking with the manager or chef to address my concerns, the staff provided nothing but excuses. They claimed that both the manager and chef were mysteriously unavailable. It's apparent that this establishment has no interest in addressing customer issues or improving the dining experience.

The Worst Indian Buffet Ever: In conclusion, this is undoubtedly the worst Indian buffet I have ever had the misfortune of visiting. The combination of an extremely limited selection, agonizingly slow refills, tasteless food, and unresponsive staff left me with an unforgettable negative impression. I would advise anyone considering dining here to think twice and explore other options for a genuinely satisfying...

Buffet average ( but only 16.95 if you go Mon-Thurs). Fri is more expensive. Both Rices are very good. Biryani? & Dessert Rice delicious. Butter Chicken is always good. I think Dad forgot to try Butter Chicken. Tandoori is very good texture. Nice pieces of chicken. But only thing is flavour light ( but texture good). I recommend you put Butter Chicken tomato sauce on top of the Tandoor chicken as its the best sauce. However, I found the other sauces to be lacking a little flavour. I love Daal or Dhal but it just seem average? I forgot to try the potato one ( I get quickly full as small stomach). They did have a very nice looking Mango salad but the mango were firm ( not ripe) so I wish the Mango more sweet ( lucky I only took 3 small piece so did not waste). But they have a red sauce was very sweet. I recommend the red looking sauce to put on Mango. There is green sauce ( Coriander) but very salty. I wish they have regular coriander or cilantro for people like me who avoid too much salt. Overall light taste. The Yogurt is light salty but good. The Chai tea is excellent but no sugar. I am lazy. but i have a feeling if I put more sugar in my tea it is very good tea. Service is excellent. They immediate bus your table. Since I dont eat very much they bus my table everytime my small plate was finish. Oh, Naan look delicious (free with buffet) Dad ate it. I did not eat Naan ( I cut back on gluten) but rice is very good. They also had 3rd rice or maybe it was nut or coconut ( Im not sure)...I did not take much because I was afraid it might be sweet but very good. I like to know what was in it...

Overall, lovely restaurant, serving Indian Classics and many regional Indian dishes. I came here for the weekend buffet although items are limited. You could tell that there’s a lot of quality in the ingredients being used and he’s not cutting corners in the buffet. Naan is spectacular!

Food: This review for the buffet food only. Overall good buffet they did cover a lot of vegetarian and non-vegetarian items. I did feel like there was not enough spice or lemon in some of the dishes. But what I did really appreciate was that the ingredients were very quality and it was not overly greasy. I have a feeling that the regular menu items when you order à la cart have more punchy flavors. Love that they kept butter, chicken, panipuri, and Pav bhaji in the buffet!

Service: Service was top-notch. I came here on saturday for lunch. I never felt like I was unattended to . The waiters always were looking at our table and and making sure we got enough naan and water. The naan here is amazing!! All tandoor items are fantastic.

Atmosphere: Clean, well kept, and has a warm environment in this restaurant. There is a free parking lot next to...
