About The Mint Room
The Mint Room elevates Indian cuisine to fine-dining refinement in Bath's Crescent. Reviewers consistently praise the kitchen's artistry—dishes arrive exquisitely plated with meticulous attention to flavour balance and presentation. The tasting menu is a standout, with each course explained by staff who demonstrate genuine knowledge and warmth. Signature dishes like Cherry Peshawari Naan, Tandoori Dill Salmon, and Kolkata Chicken Biryani earn repeated mentions for their depth and execution. The atmosphere strikes a rare balance: upscale and romantic yet relaxed, never rushed. Service is notably attentive without hovering—staff members like Shahed and Shahid Ahmed are singled out for their professionalism and genuine care. The wine list and cocktail programme (spiced chai old fashioned noted as fabulous) complement the menu thoughtfully. Desserts are described as "out of this world," particularly the gajar tart. Accessibility features include wheelchair access, and the venue welcomes families, groups, and solo diners alike. Rooftop seating adds to the appeal. Many guests compare the experience favourably to Michelin-starred establishments.
The Mint Room earns its romantic reputation through both atmosphere and a serious wine selection — the kind of place where a dinner for two tends to extend well past dessert.

What Customers Say
If I could give 6 stars The best high end Indian food I have tasted. Just superb, everything we had but real standouts were the soft shell crab and the gajar tart Fantastically friendly staff, especially Shahed who was great
Think of English fine dining, with the presentation that goes with that. Now add Indian twist and that's the Mint Room. The spiced chai old fashioned was fabulous too
Very good Indian restaurant in Bath, perhaps the best. Staffs are super polite. Food especially aperture and nann was very delicious.
