Chai R. · Yelp, 2025We make it a point to visit every Friday. The Chicken Tikka, Lamb Boti Kebab, Bullet Naan, and Biryani are all must-orders. Spicy Mint is truly a hidden gem — the kind of place you want to keep to yourself but can't help sharing.
OpenTable Guest, 2025Best Indian restaurant in the Capital Region — and the only place where you can get authentic Hyderabadi Dum Biryani done right. The Bullet Naan and masala chai are exceptional. An absolute must for business travelers and locals alike.
