"Fantastic place to eat Indian food.
Heat level on curries was spot on, portions were large and delicious!
Min (server) was professional, very friendly and a delight to chat with!
Popadoms were one of the very best I’ve had and I’ve had a few too many.
Highly recommended overall!"

"Stirling is so lucky to have such good Indian restaurants. My food at mint leaf was superb. I had the crispy aloo as a starter then chicken tikka jalfresi with mushroom rice. Soooo tasty!!! I loved the huge photos around the walls too. Definitely would be a regular if I lived here!"
Barry Dobson
"We really enjoyed a decent Indian/ Nepalese meal however are so often disappointed by mass market brightly coloured unauthentic Indian food. Here the food is good, ok it's for the British palate but some of the dishes are spot on. We had great momos for starters and all 3 of our mains tasted different and were good. Service was also spot on. Prices were reasonable so if in Stirling again we'd without doubt return."
