Mint Leaf - North East Derbyshire

We always have a lovely meal at Mint Leaf. The food is great and the staff are really friendly. I would highly recommend it.

Ordered a takeaway for people and all mains were so watery we couldn’t eat them. Worst meal in years

Shame food is always great, but the restaurant was cold, when I mentioned it I was met with an abrasive response, they only needed to empathise. Still will be good for a takeaway

This is the first and possibly the last visit to mint leaf. We have read and heard of great reviews about this place and I for one was disappointed. Giving the benefit of doubt first, it was New Year’s Eve so I totally understand the...demand of service to customers however, and it is a big however. I called to book a table a few days before and they made it sound like it was full. They game me options to book in so I took the later one. I left my name so we knew it was a concrete booking. On arrival, no name was asked by the doorman, he just shoved us on the waiting sofa starring at people eating food which felt uncomfortable anyway. We then got taken to our table (and there was plenty of room too) shortly followed by another couple who took the next table. We had a look at the menus when, a regular couple came in and sat tables down, only to get served instantly. Regardless of importance and how much you spend in the vicinity, we should have been first. So, we ordered popadoms to share with pickle tray and they wasn’t even warm. They tasted like rubber and they had been stood for some time. The pickle tray was awful, like it had been slopped together. We had to be asked to get a drink which was awkward. Onto the starters, the tandoori chicken actually was really nice, came on a small plate with small tomato and some discoloured lettuce. It wasn’t served on a skewer either. My partners allo chop was cold. It took minutes for the mains to arrive and we hadn’t even had our starters taken away either so the table was a mess. The waiter was arrogant and slammed the plates onto the table shouting “enjoy your meals happy new year” in the most sarcastic voice too. Overall, a very disappointing evening when we was looking forward to it too. We never got looked after once and asked if we need anymore drinks etc. i must say though, we have eaten at Ayeshas on Dronfield bottom and they actually blow mint leaf away. So, we won’t come back I’m afraid. Ohh, give the toilets a clean they were awful. for me guys.

We ordered a takeaway on the phone, as usual, we’ve had many many takeaways from here before, and spent a lot of money here. I collected my takeaway, went home and found my meal wasn’t in the bag with the rest of the food. I...called up to say I was missing a meal, after waiting for a while I was told to come back and collect it, the rest of the food was cold also, so I said I will come back with all the food as it’s cold, and I’ll just have a refund. After been told he’d gone to get the manager, he came back on the phone and said “alright come back then” I went to give my food back and what I presume was the manager said nothing to me, not an apology or anything, he just took my card off me, tapped the card machine in an angrily manner , gave me the receipt and walked off without saying a word to me. He had a shocking attitude, and because of this we will not be returning again, and I’ll be sure to tell my friends and family of the awful service I got.
