Greenwich Village Indian Curries and Dosas in an Intimate Room

Mint Masala is an intimate Greenwich Village dining room where the menu moves from tandoori dishes and samosa appetizers to a dedicated dosa section. The kitchen prepares its food in house, and spice levels can be adjusted, giving a meal room to move from crisp dosas to rich curries. Fresh bread from the traditional oven rounds out that range.

Inside, warm chandeliers, wood tables and a framed mural of spices and dishes set a quietly colorful scene. Large windows keep the street in view, while the close arrangement of tables gives the room a neighborhood feel. Curries and fresh oven bread get particular praise, while feedback on chicken tikka masala is mixed, and that contrast makes a spread across several parts of the menu a more grounded first order than betting the meal on one familiar curry. Pair a dosa with a curry and oven bread, then use the adjustable spice level to set the pace.
