first and most importantly, I'm a foodie, born in India so i have some idea of what good food ( esp. indian ) is suppose to be. went to Mint Leaf few months back with friends and didn't enjoy waiting 50 mins for a table on a thu nite. Food was a bit too oily and way overpriced ( it is coral gables afterall ). Deserts were unacceptable--we told the manager and he declared it's not possible that the dish wasn't good !! we purposefully left them a 5% tip. Went recently with another group of friends last month and found the place basically empty. Even met the owner who happened to be there that night. All the main dishes were dull ( not just missing spices ). Being a indian and haven eaten at many many restaurants all over the world ( and at home ), I would never ever go back to this place. And the laughable thing is they're opening another one in downtown miami on brickell. Good Luck !!! As good as the ambience & decor is, the food is equally not impressive...For proper authentic Indian Food, try India House in sunrise or taj way up in deerfield or another one which just opened up in coral springs called India Garden.
