mint leaf indian bistro

Significant other had heard of this place recently opening through pictures posted on social media .. so naturally as lovers of Indian food, decided to make it downtown in Salem to try! We were not disappointed. The location is in High Street in the old Love Love Teriyaki building, and virtually has the same layout but updated to match the theme. We ordered the Paneer Pakora, Vegetable Korma, Butter Chicken with a Mango and Strawberry Lassi. First off - if you've read my reviews and seen how I've talked about Masala Bites down in Dallas? Mint Leaf is what Salem needed to compare to Masala. Food was delivered in the appropriate order (small plate then entrees) and was fully served in under 15 minutes. Presentation was exceptional, freshness of food was exceptional, and god damn if that Butter Chicken is the most amazing dish I've had from any Indian Restaurant ever. Legitimately blew me away! All in all, this was an extremely enjoyable experience, we will 100% come again and frequent Mint Leaf as the defacto Indian Restaurant in Salem/Keizer. If you like Indian - you need to try them ASAP. I promise you won't be disappointed!

Order extra entrees so you can try many flavors and have delicious leftovers. Very affordable just do it.

I got the non-vegetarian lunch special and it was delicious. I have enough left over that I’ll likely have another full meal. My friend got the tandoori chicken and she loved it. We split the chicken samosas and they were really good, too. The only thing that could have made our experience better is if they had kid-friendly cups & silverware.
