“The soup that I ordered however, wasn't balanced I would say. I ordered a simple lentil soup, and at the first sip I was shocked when I felt an immense heat in my throat. The lentil soup was very spicy to my taste, and it took me some time to finish that dish. I wish the waiter asked me if I wanted it spicy or just regular.”

Book ahead. Reserve for weekends: one review specifically says weekend reservations are a must.
Check spice. If you prefer mild food, ask about spice levels before ordering; one diner found the lentil soup intensely hot.
Validate parking. Use the complimentary valet, but get the parking seal at the entrance before leaving the restaurant.
Consider lunch. For a more predictable spend, look at the set business lunch; a four-course non-vegetarian menu was reported at AED 119+.
Plan the visit
Several diners felt the pricing was high for the portions, with one review putting main courses at AED 110–170.
The tasting and iftar menus have been described as smaller than expected, so lighter eaters may still want to plan their order carefully.
The low lighting suits the evening mood, but one diner needed a phone camera light to read the menu.
One daytime visit found the air-conditioning ineffective, leaving diners uncomfortable while eating.
These are customer-reported mentions, not a current price list. Prices may have changed.

The Bottom Line
Mint Leaf of London Dubai is an upscale modern Indian restaurant in DIFC, set on the 15th floor with views towards the Burj Khalifa and Downtown Dubai. It suits occasions where the setting matters as much as the meal: birthdays, anniversaries, date nights and business lunches all appear regularly in reviews. The menu is more inventive than a standard curry-house list.
Reviewers mention Mango Pani Puri, Raj Kachori, Chicken Dum Biryani and Pepper Garlic Crab, alongside tasting menus and a four-course business lunch. Vegetarian diners found a diverse selection, while one reviewer praised the restaurant’s vegan and vegetarian friendliness. Presentation is a major part of the experience, including a palate cleanser and playful welcome bites.
Service is generally attentive, professional and helpful with recommendations or ingredient explanations. The dark, elegant interiors and large bar add to the evening atmosphere, though the low lighting can make menus difficult to read. Valet parking is available, and reviewers advise collecting the parking seal before leaving.
This is not a budget meal. Several diners felt portions were small for the price, and one daytime visit reported ineffective air-conditioning. Weekend reservations are advised, and spice levels are worth checking if you prefer milder dishes.
