“Indian cuisine is built around magnificent spices, which lend themselves beautifully to dishes that are simple and light yet still flavorful,” said Executive Chef Jayanta K. Paul. “We want Mint Leaf to be a place where guests can enjoy a quick, healthy and vibrant lunch or dig in for a more classic, indulgent dinner of full-bodied sauces, meats, vegetables and more.”

Paul worked and trained under acclaimed chefs in all regions of India for over two decades, learning Secret Recipes of the Kings. Keeping in line with the restaurant’s commitment to clean eating and simple ingredients, Chef Paul created dishes that highlight traditional Indian spices such as Cinnamon, Cumin, Turmeric, Cardamom, many of which tout health benefits such as heart support, weight management, arthritis relief and more.
