Mint LI & Skybar in Garden City offers a standout dining experience that fuses traditional Indian flavors with modern flair, all set in a sleek, upscale environment. Known not only for its creative take on Indian and Indo-Chinese cuisine, the restaurant also features a rooftop bar that brings a whole new dimension to Long Island’s dining scene.
The menu is rich in flavor and variety. For starters, the Crispy Chili Cauliflower is a must-try—lightly battered, tossed in a tangy chili sauce, and finished with fresh herbs for a perfect balance of heat and crunch. The Chicken Lollipops, a fusion street-style favorite, are bold, spicy, and irresistible. Moving into main courses, the VIP Lamb Chops stand out for their tenderness and deeply spiced marinade, grilled to a juicy finish. If you prefer seafood, the Shrimp Tikka Masala is rich, creamy, and layered with flavor. Vegetarians can indulge in dishes like the Paneer Makhni, silky cubes of Indian cottage cheese simmered in a buttery tomato-based sauce, or the hearty Chana Masala, a classic chickpea curry done just right.
The Indo-Chinese section of the menu also brings the heat with options like Hakka Noodles and Chili Garlic Fried Rice, making it easy to mix and match flavor profiles throughout your meal.
Above it all—literally—is Skybar, Mint’s rooftop lounge. The space is sleek, modern, and vibrant, with open-air seating, ambient lighting, and panoramic views that make it ideal for evening drinks or weekend hangouts. The cocktail menu is creative and curated to complement the spice-forward dishes. From fruity margaritas and herb-infused gin drinks to mocktails and classics with a twist, the rooftop bar experience is just as much a draw as the food.
Whether you're planning a date night, meeting friends for rooftop cocktails, or hosting a private event, Mint LI & Skybar delivers atmosphere and flavor in equal measure. The combination of elevated dining, attentive service, and the unique rooftop setting makes it one of Garden City’s most memorable culinary destinations.
