Although Mint Indian Bistro has been serving Spring Valley since December 2016 it wasn’t until a recent merger with India Oven Masala Bar & Grill that the decision was made to utilize them for catering, Ulzan Mehta’s joining with Kris and Bindi Parikh somewhat bittersweet as Las Vegas lost one of its best Indian Eateries and some of Mr. Mehta’s wonderful recipes in the process.
Ever punctual, even from new environs, it was from 4246 South Durango Drive that nine items were laid out complete with serviceware, recognizable items such as Kebobs, Naan and Rice predictably going first while Pakora also proved popular thanks to both their familiarity and taste.
Slower to accept Samosa, but quickly finishing a tray once taught to top the Potato pockets with Chutney, it is no surprise that Butter Chicken many mistakenly called Tikka Masala also went fast, the spice profile amped up in comparison to India Oven’s version while creamy Goat Korma finds pieces of boneless Lamb now mixed in.
Requesting extra Chicken on this visit it was after a few more pieces of Naan that Dessert was enjoyed, several Syrup-soaked Orbs followed by Gajar Halwa that is thinner than many, but still successful in terms of flavor.
N/A: Making it blog policy to not ‘rate’ places based on catering alone the closure of India Oven Masala Bar & Grill is a big loss, though it is nice to see Ulzan Mehta still in the business.
RECOMMENDED: Butter Naan, Vegetable Samosa, Goat Korma, Tamarind Chutney, Gulab Jamun.
AVOID: N/A.
TIP: Mint offers easy catering, banquet space and even meal prep services. Look online, call 702-247-4610 or e-mail info@mintbistro.com to inquire.
WHAT THE STARS MEAN: 5 World Class, 4 Excellent, 3 Good, 2 Fair, 1 Poor.
