Blue Mint in Epsom and Ewell

Unfortunately this was not a nice experience. We ordered through Deliveroo and the samosas were very expensive, super small portion and full of oil. Something completely unacceptable. Contacted Deliveroo to complain and we were denied any refund or other options. So we felt cheated and very disappointed. In view of this we recommend to be very careful with this restaurant as they have both a quality and ethical issue.

Such a consistently good restaurant, Food and staff are excellent, I feel not having a license means better value as you can bring whatever you want with you and no corkage charge. Everything is always so fresh and amazing flavours.

Blue Mint is a real gem...its a calm serene and peaceful restaurant with each and every dish full of deep rich flavours...every blend of Indian cuisine available ..run by a calm, welcoming and intimate management.Excellent.

Very very very nice tandoori roti. Much much better than Saffron Resturant. I asked them to make it thin and they did Chicken dishes appropriately tailored to my taste - have tried chicken garlic and jalfrezi hot with less oil All is well when bread is good and well baked

Food was absolutely tasteless. Rice was like coop microwave meal deal rice. Won’t go back, waste of money. No licence either so you have to walk to shop next door if you want a beer.

Food was so bland/ flavourless. The rice was like it was a coop microwave meal deal. Awful. I certainly won’t go back.

Three stars because of the food.which was very good. Staff were OK. The restaurant doesn't serve alcohol which I didn't expect in Epsom. People bring their own booze in which in my opinion makes for a poor environment to enjoy a meal. We came here regularly 40 years ago when it was The Light of India. It was such a lovely restaurant with carpet, table cloths and traditional decor. It's a shame to see it's now this canteen style bring your own drink restaurant.

This place is great, it's definitely my favourite Indian food based outlet. Get in my belly!

Staff are are slways lovely . There is free parking outside for 20 mins before 6pm but limited space . And free parking after 6pm but not sure for length of time. No alcohol can be purchased there, but if you bring your own alcohol the restaurant is happy to provide glasses and a bottle opener ,if required . Water and minerals can be purchased . Food is always of good quality. We have been a casual customer of both dining in and takeaway for about 20 yrs and have never found fault with the blue mint 👍.

Have used the Blue Mint for a number of years but the food is not consistent and last night was a good example as the rice was over cooked and stodgy, and the amount of chicken in a portion has decreased. This was our go to option for a good curry either eat in or take away but will now have to explore other options.

Just returned from our holiday and fancied an Indian meal to finish it off but what a huge disappointment! The chicken tasted like cardboard, the nan bread wasn’t cooked, the popadoms were stale and the sauces were tasteless! At £47.70 ( order no 283991) it was a complete waste of money! I did call to complain and was offered a replacement but it was too late for us and we didn’t trust it to be any better.

Ordered food from here it arrived with some incorrect items and freezing cold when I phoned to see what had happened, I got told it wasn't there problem and if I wanted to replace the incorrect items I would have to pay for them, they where very rude. Not great customer service at all, plenty of other nicer Indians in the area and would probably treat there customers correctly, so wouldn't bother with this one. What a shame, gone down hill since I ate in the restaurant last year.

Been here a few times and always order takeaway but yesterday was by far the worst. Came for Mother’s Day, our waiter was very rude, didn’t crack one smile and would come to us and say ‘yep’ when wanting to take our order instead of asking us what we would like. He seemed to be annoyed that we had only 6 main courses for 9 of us (3 were children that do not eat much and it’s not needed). A large soft drink was £4.95, the lamb tikka started was 4 pieces of tough lamb. When it came to paying, we used 3 different cards as there were many of us paying for ourselves and the waiter said more then once ‘service charge is not added’, when he walked back towards his colleagues he said loudly that we did not tip. We chose not to tip due to how unfriendly you were, especially for Mother’s Day, good thing my Mum is a laugh and this did not ruin her day, but will not be returning

Booked table for a sat night when we arrived they didn’t know we had booked , sat us at a table that wasn’t even set, they didn’t understand English they kept asking how many in our group there was only 4 of us which was obvious it was appalling we walked out without ordering And they don’t serve alcohol never again would never recommend this restaurant

I ordered a Dupiaza asking that it was not too spicy - it was absolutely delicious ! It was perfect for me - the best curry I have had in a very long time ! Delivery was super quick too !

Average food, not terribly well flavoured but the naan was excellent. No liquor license anymore.

Delicious food and excellent service

The dishes were a symphony of flavors, and the service was impeccable. The ambiance is perfect for a casual meal or a special celebration.

A great atmosphere, good fun and smashing food.

We went as a party of six and everybody thoroughly enjoyed their meals.

Some staff members could not understand English. The starters, lamb chops were of very poor quality. No alcohol, which is claimed to be on their website, not. Generally speaking this was a good restaurant, not anymore. Will not be going back.

UPDATED REVIEW: I'VE BEEN HERE MORE THAN A FEW TIMES NOW AND I DON'T DRINK ALCOHOL, SO I NEVER BRING ANYTHING WITH ME AND ASK FOR A GLASS OF TAP WATER...THE STAFF ARE TERRIBLE! THEY NEVER BRING THE WATER...WE HAD TO ASK 5 TIMES...ALL THEY CARE IS ABOUT OVERCHARGING ON THE SOFT DRINKS. IT'S A DISGRACE. IF YOU'RE A COUPLE OR WOMEN THOUGH YOU'RE SAFE...THEY BRING THE WATER IMMEDIATELY. :( WHAT MAKES IT EVEN WORSE THOUGH IS THAT THE WATER (WHEN IT EVENTUALLY ARRIVES) HAS SOME SORT OF SEDIMENT IN IT. WE MIGHT NEED TRADING STANDARDS TO HEAD DOWN THERE FOR A "CATCH UP"! I went here with some friends for the first time one Saturday eve as they had been there before and said they really enjoyed it the last time they were there, so I decided to join them on this occasion. As a starter I went for the prawn puri, which came nice and hot, and the spice was just right too, the prawns weren't overcooked and the sauce was tasty...I could of eaten another one! For my main I had a lamb tikka bhoona with pilau rice, and overall I was satisfied with my choice. A had a good amount of lamb, some bits softer than other, but the sauce was thick, tasty and full of veggies which I like! Only 3 stars as I've had more enjoyable curries elsewhere. Worth a go if you enjoy this sort of food and are in the area.

Chicken was extremely chewy and dishes were watery. Nan bread soggy. Only nice thing was the poppadum. Won’t be returning.

Been coming here for a while. Food is always fresh, chicken is succulent, sauces are always well balanced. Staff are very friendly and make good recommendations. Decor needs a little revamp but other than that, highly recommend

Chicken shashlik korahi is amazing. I could eat it every day.

Great takeaway food. Highly recommended and lovely people.

Nice place, clean and friendly. Good service, BYO. Good food.

Food is nice, a tad overpriced, service was disappointing to say the least, the guys that worked there were not polite or at all worthy of a £1 tip but the guy at the end had the cheek to ask me how much tip i wanted to give him. It's fair to say that that comment lost him all possibility to get a tip, not that he would've got one anyway. I wouldn't go again but there's definitely worse out there.

A nice atmosphere great food polite staff had a laugh there with other customers

Made an online order from blue king as never used before. Have to say I was blown away and I am an avid curry muncher. The food was fresh, the flavours were on point and arrived hot. Will be definitely visiting the restaurant to eat in. Will also be using as our new takeaway.

One of the Best Tastes around the area. Halal everything.. Onion Bhaji, Lamb masala, chicken rezala are best in town.

Best Indian in Epsom by far and we have tried pretty much all of them. High quality not oily like some other place

Wonderful food. Authentic taste and great service. Pre-warmed plate, quick serve, and hot wet tissue served after meal. Best Indian restaurant experience. Juicy chicken tikka which is really rare. We ordered chicken tikka, lamb korma, garlic roti and peshawari naan.

Traditional no frills Bangladeshi restaurant. BYOB since covid era. Always tasty and good value. Excellent selection of dishes.

The food was nice but when I called up to make a delivery I made it clear I was coeliac and can’t eat gluten, the man kept telling me I couldn’t have certain dishes because of the ghee in it, so when I asked what is in the ghee that contains gluten he said milk. Quite worrying considering this is a restaurant and they aren’t aware of basic allergens. Not convinced that my food was even gluten free at all

Friendly staff, good food. Slightly cramped for space, but it seems to work. Alcohol is not sold on premises, but you can bring your own.

Always an excellent standard of food from Blue Mint. This has been mine and my partners main Indian takeaway for years. We have tried others in the area which are nice but Blue Mint is just so consistent in its food quality we very rarely go anywhere else. Fast delivery, great tasting food and very reasonable prices, what more can you ask for? Oh, it's also very easy to order online on their website now too and even pick (a rough) delivery time instead of calling up. Extremely useful. 5* all day long.

Ace good - shame about the alcohol license- saved me a fortune

Awesome delicious food. Quality all around here. Everything on point. Would highly recommend in Epsom.

Fourth time eating here food always delicious also good vegetarian choice. Unfortunately this evening the service was very slow. Normally the staff are very friendly but unfortunately not this evening, not once did we have any communication from any of the staff serving us and the older gentleman who is always in the restaurant not in a good mood and gave the impression he would rather be somewhere else such a shame that because of the staff or evening was uncomfortable and not enjoyable at least the chef got it right.

Treated my other half and daughter to a mother's Day dinner and we were so let down. Well over priced for tasteless food which was cold. Things didn't turn up. The chicken tikka bland and a lot of the other food was too.Won't use again. Everest spice I hear is better. I'll try them next time I think. Sorry to leave a bad review but,ya know. I have to be honest.

Food spot on. Really large portions. They need to provide proper glasses for red wine drinkers.

Great food and service not sure about atmosphere as was late in the night

Ordered through Uber Eats , after messages to say on its way never arrived and order was returned to restaurant. Blue Mint said not their problem and refused food or refund. Complained to restaurant who we have used for many years but no food and cost nearly £75 ! Avoid

Have used Blue Mint for many years as food has always been excellent. Today our food was cold, 25 minutes late and our order wrong. When we called, they did not care. We will not be using them again.

Great curry house in Epsom. The owners are great and the food is excellent. One of my fav chicken madras dishes. Its changed to BYO drinks which is nice... (if you forget there is an off license next door). Well worth a visit. Recommended

Thoroughly recommend. A group of us went Thursday evening. Food was great and the service was quick and friendly. We'll be going again!

The chicken tikka biryani and lamb jalfrazi was so good. Reasonable price and service is very good.

I had trouble with paying online so needed to ring up, lovely, polite person on the 'phone, taking my order and payment wasn't a problem. The food was delivered quicker than expected and piping hot. Absolutely delicious, as is has always been when I've eaten in the restaurant. My son was particularly impressed with the chicken. Highly recommended and will be ordering again.

Lovely food great service would highly recommend

Great food, very tasty, reasonably priced. No alcohol served, happy for you to bring your own and they will provide glassware

I ordered online with the Blue Mint tonight and I must say the food is amazing!!.. I've sampled a lot of Indian food in my time is this is up in the best for me. I'll be down very soon to eat in. Thank you very much. Nikii

Order a takeaway, was expecting a 60 minute wait. When telephoned to chase order told repeatedly it’s on it way - phoned again same message told and phone put down! When we did get the food it was very poor, garlic naan inedible chicken dry clear re and overheated! Never again save your money and blood pressure!

After making the reservation online when we arrived we were greeted cordially by the manager and our table was already set up which we thought was a nice touch but when the manager disappeared and the waiter abruptly stopped in front of us (we don't have his name but he looks like a older person) appeared to take our order and in fact at the time of serving his attitude was not very pleasant, in fact he seemed annoyed for doing the work he did. When we ate standing in front of us looking at each other as if with contempt. If that was not his intention, unfortunately it is what he projected. It's a shame to go to a restaurant with good food and not feel like going back to the restaurant and being served by a miserable looking person. Sorry but this is our honest opinion.

We have a takeaway most Friday or Saturday nights from the Blue Mint, Fantastic Friendly Service, Delicious Food, Would Highly Recommend.

Total rubbish - Tikka Masala was basically just a runny korma. Never again

Ordered a takeaway from Blue Mint just before Christmas. Things didn't go well. Firstly, We asked for the delivery to come at 7.30pm. Instead, they delivered it at 6.30pm. More importantly, the food was pretty rubbish. The chicken korma was basically some pre-cooked chicken over which they had pored some pre-cooked sauce. Definitely none of this was cooked to order. The chicken madras was exactly the same thing - pre-cooked chicken in a pre-cooked sauce. Absolute rubbish. Oh yes and the amount of chicken in each dish was pitiful. Definitely a restaurant to avoid.

Lovely, friendly curry house. I used to go all the time, stopped going for some time, now rediscovered after a great saturday night. Its now BYO for booze which makes it quite economical. Very tasty and great service. Will be back soon.

We were a group of 14, and we're very happy with the delicious food. The staff were nice, and because you have to bring your own drinks, it helped us and the staff with the speedy service. We will definitely be coming back

We were a big group of 14, and they were brilliant in serving us all. The food was delicious. Now you have to bring your own drink with you, it made for a very reasonably priced meal. We will definitely be coming back, thanks Blue Mint

Welcoming staff and didn't have to wait long for food.

Had a take away from the Mint Epsom tonight for the first time in around a year as used to be our go to restaurant for many years but it went down hill so changed, thought would try again and it’s sad to say we won’t be going back, the food tasted old and reheated, the chicken was tiny and horrible, I could go on. Sorry for the review but it’s an honest one the meal had no flavour, expensive for the quality we received.

Four of us went here for a Friday night meal. Although local, we hadn't been to the Blue Mint but decided to try it, given the good reviews. We were not at all disappointed. They have a very good varied menu. We each had different dishes which were absolutely delicious. The food was of high quality and plenty of it; complemented by very attentive staff. Great value for money. The restaurant itself is well appointed giving a relaxing ambience. Highly recommended.

Ordered 3 times online now, asked for food to be vindaloo hot each time and for whatever reason it just doesn't happen. I even phoned up and asked to make sure they got notes left this time and surprise surprise they don't listen again.

Fabulous quality food - fresh and tasty without the obligatory oil slick that normally float on top. Delivered by Deliveroo in good time. Stuffed naan was superbly fresh and fluffy. Just perfect.

Generous portions and a relatively big order was packaged well & delivered on time. However, the meal otherwise was disappointing after reading all the amazing reviews - the food to our taste was generally quite heavy, oily and a bit bland.

Service is good, food is OK but it's not a go too for me or friends

Reasonable curry but shame it does not have a licence.

Order online via website at 18:05 on Monday 30th August, with delivery stated for 1855. Telephoned restaurant at 1915 as no food arrived. Gentleman answered took order number, asked a colleague about where order was, then told me it was cooked, then told me delivery driver was lost and would come back to restaurant within 20 minutes; then when challenged was told food is being cooked now and would be 20 - 30 minutes. I then said I would go to restaurant in 5 minutes and collect, I was told not to do that. Food would be with me in 20 minutes, I asked for refund and that was denied. Food arrived within 15 minutes and all of it was cold, not warm, cold. We reheated in microwave those elements we could, but experience was very dissatisfactory, will not use again.

First time order!! Delivery driver short changed me? Also I have had better microwave meals than the food they serve. DO NOT RECOMMEND

Food very bland all three tasted the same ! £70 for three people with no dessert and only one starter ! Left feeling very hungry as portions are small Very disappointed, Can understand why we was the only table present

No mention on the website that they no longer serve alcohol. Very cheap poor quality lamb was used with at least a third of it being inedible gristle. To top it off, we were both unwell throughout the night.

Booked this before I saw the ratings but surprisingly good..although not licensed to take your own booze

Epsom best curry house! Five stars ⭐️ !! I did enjoyed my evening at the restaurant, Staff was friendly and best service they can give you. Food was absolutely delicious, very Tasty Indian food 👍

Food wasn't amazing, both had dodgy stomachs the next day. Also bring your own alcohol, which is fine if you know and the off license is open!

Unfortunately absolutely terrible and way over priced. Samosas were soaked in oil, King prawn tikka masala had about 6 prawns in the dish, the lamb in the lamb tikka was very tough. Definitely not a place to re-visit.

Thank you for delivering our food when Uber Eats let us down! Great service and food.

Great take away and I'd say the best in the area. Great to eat in too when its allowed!

I have known this company for 35 years, and the excellent staff and owners, I would not have stayed with them for that long if they were not good, from what I believe was their first restaurant.. superb food and Chefs and I am in no way associated, but highly recommended .. Tony

Frequently use this restaurant as its by far the best curry in the area. Friendly staff, wonderful food at a reasonable price. It is a bring your own alcohol restaurant but I don't have an issue with this especially as their is a local store next door that sells Cobra beer. Will definitely be back.

I ordered last night a king prawn masala I got 3 prawns and the masala was like water , delivered in a reasonable time but it’s an absolute joke for over £11 don’t waste your time or MONEY

Strange times, but the Blue Mint seem tp be doing the best they can with the current Covid restrictions. Food and service was good. Need to BYO alcohol as they have no alcohol licence at the moment.

Bring your own beer wine no extra charge spot on very fresh food 👍👍👍👍

Amazing food and service !! This is our local curry house so we use them alot and have never had a bad meal here ! Staff are so friendly and welcoming and now it is BYOB makes it a bit cheaper. Would go as far to say best curry ive had ! Love it !!

Over charged for our meal, only realised after we’d left the restaurant, contacted them but no response. Food was very average to poor. Edit: I sent a message via the contact us form on your website on Monday evening

Lamb very very tough, onion bhaji was overdone.. rest of meal was pleasant enough. Atmosphere was good. Family like this place but I prefer other places

Booked a table on line, went to the Blue Mint and was told they did not have a booking in my name. I showed the manager my confirmation email he still said they did not have room for us. No apology! Had to go some where else. No alcohol being served. Shall not be going there!

Good food.good portions. Friendly staff.will go back

Always excellent food and service but the staff have really stepped up to the challenge of opening safely in the pandemic. Significantly less tables and a one way system means that you can move around safely and staff all wearing masks. Efficient cleaning to the same standards I am using in my medical practice. Hundred times better than the large chain restaurants we have visited recently.

Save your self wasting any time with these people. Food was bland and disgusting. The food was dry. Wouldn’t bother going here if u wanted a decent meal

This is a Up and Down Resturant. One week good food next week totally Rubbish ,, I would not recommend to anyone anymore, they hate you if you say something is wrong with the food. They are extremely bad at maintaining a decent Chicken dish. They have opened for take aways during lockdown. Don’t bother,, the Boss is not there. And food is gross. Regards.

It's VE day and we had our wartime lunch with a pot of tea.We heard Blue Mint is open for delivery ! We ordered our evening meal and it arrived bang on to time and was absolutely delicious just what the doctor ordered at a time like this.Full marks your the best Blue mint ! Tony Epsom

Fantastic foods and pleasant waiters.

Friendly staff and good variety of Indian dishes

Another fab meal at Blue Mint. Consistently good food and good service. Always reasonably priced. We’ll definitely be back!

Fantastic service and delicious food.

Both food a d staff lovely and nice atmosphere this evening

Not been here for some time. May have changed hands. Used to be excellent and hard to get a table. However on a last Friday night it had a trickle of customers, but was never more than 25% full. Spices used to be more subtle but seem to have gone for hot. Light on meat content and burger cheese in the cheese nan. All cooked well but I've been in Tooting a lot recently and competition there keeps quality and value high in the curry houses.
