  Mint cafe is the place where connections are formed by going old school and losing yourself to the melody of silence. Established as the first hukkah serving cafe in Lucknow, Mint’s existence dates back decades as one the only cafe which offered a peaceful environment till now. The hukkahs they serve have retain their original taste since decades and this is what makes them so original.Their ambience is as peaceful as a forest and it is this features which puts Mint at the top. The ambience is made up recycled utensil and cleverly used kitchen utensils such as grater as lamps and ceramic plates as wall hangings. The seating is at a low level so that you can just relax.The starter drinks were worthy of the name. The Cappuccino was lovely, the Oreo Shake was thick and delicious , the watermelon ice tea was so refreshing and the strawberry Smoothie was so delicious that once a sip was taken, another was inevitable.One of the other dish from Mint’s hall of fame, was the Big “Mint” Burger which was huge in size and a behemoth in taste. It had a lettuce, cheese, onion , tomatoes , which a sunny side up egg which once the burger was cut, the yolk spreads over the burger and it was sight to be hold along with chicken patty .The food here was so delicious that it felt that it directly came from the hands of the chefs who served the nawabs. The most and lip smacking food was the star signature dish – ‘Chooza Khaas’ which was first marinated and roasted then using the tradition of ‘Dham’ it’s finished.Overall :- Mint Cafe isn’t just a normal regular place, but it’s a heaven for those who want to sit and to connect with the ones they come on a whole new level.

  Mint Cafe is Lucknow’s first Hukkah lounge. Mint cafe is solely focused on originality and creativity. The aim of the cafe is to help its customers to develop human connections and it is this very reason that this cafe is quiet and has a peaceful and harmonic atmosphere.The ambiance of this heaven is just incredible. The sole objective of this cafe is to ensure that every customer is who steps in is family and they go to great lengths to live up to their objective. The entire cafe is made up of reused artifacts. From the seating area to the decorations, everything is so uniquely made and chosen that it will catch your sight and hold on to it. They cleverly used graters as lamps and even the simplest of utensils can be seen hanging around beautifully, enhancing the ambiance of the cafe. The staff is like family, everyone is treated equally and this treatment is what they give to their own customers.The food was just lip-smacking. The authentic taste of Lucknow’s Mughlai is forged into every bite. With each dish, a unique flavor can be felt gushing towards the stomach. The food here isn’t just chewing and swallowing but the food here is felt like an emotion, like God talking to us through food.We first tried the non-veg starters which consisted of Chicken tikka – which cannot be praised enough.Chicken Malai tikka – which once eaten, has to be ordered again.Another starter drink was the watermelon lemon tea which was incredible. It had the essence of the watermelon with the taste of lemon. It was not just a thirst-quenching drink but a drink that can bring its drinker to life.The main course was just splendid. The star item of the cafe ‘Chooza Khas’ which is a dish worthy of the name. Once eaten, it just feels right.We ended with the saffron kheer because a meal worthy of the Mughlai was destined to be finished with the right dish.Mint is mostly famous for its premium hukkahs because of the use of premium coconut coals and their sensational flavors. The usage of one hukkah per flavour only and the long-running of hukkahs is what makes the hukkahs so flavorsome. Also, they have switched to use and throw hookah pipes a long time ago to make sure every hukkah is hygenic. They have hookah regular workers, one for day shift and one for the night shift, which is what made them preserve their authentic hukkahs over the decade.If you want to enjoy with your friends, want a peaceful environment with your loved ones, have to clear your mind or looking for a place that you can regularly come then Mint Cafe is the perfect place to crash and have a time that can mark the beginning of a relationship which will last over the years.

  This place provides you the best mughlai cuisines and the best part is they have best hukka in town . They are the one who introduced hukka in Lucknow so they have best flavoured hukka’s.The taste of the food was very delicious.Trust me guys you would fall in love with the taste.Authentic awadhi flavors of food are served here.The prices are nominal as per the quality of the food.Ambience and the service is also good no doubt.

  I was not impressed by the place at all, the seating area was uncomfortable, service was very extremely poor and taste was also not worthy.Location of the restaurant is good, though its quite difficult to find the entrance.Ambience is decent, but seats are very uncomfortable and table is also very small.Service was worst i’ve ever had, they took nearly 30-45 mins to bring the order and were not even answering the call.Food was also not worthy, we ordered both veg and nonveg but none were good.
