Halal cooking,
elevated and refined.
“
Mint Desi Craft Kitchen has been a local destination for Indian and Pakistani cuisine in south Orange County since 2016. Head Chef Jamil Hosseini runs a sophisticated menu of classic, halal dishes alongside an expertly crafted alcohol-free bar program led by mixologist Ahmad Hosseini.
"This redesign, from the space to the new elevated menu, offering a refined selection of our Indian and Pakistani favorites, was both a labor of love and a dream we've had for years." — Jamil Hosseini, Head Chef

Mint catered my wedding welcome party and they were absolutely fantastic, the food, the staff, the careful planning. We paid to have the tandoor on site so kababs and rotis could be cooked fresh, and it was worth it.
Excellent Halal food option. Tried their Samosa chaat, Chicken Tikka, Boneless Chicken Karahi and Chicken Biryani including Falsa drink, everything was great.
Great food, nice location, quite noisy quite busy. Loved the chai, love the chops. Really enjoyed the karahi too.
Great food and excellent service. It was an amazing experience from start to finish.
