I really love the mini! The delicious food and value for money make up for the kinda plain atmosphere. I think with some fresh decor and marketing they’d be a lot busier. Food is 10/10.

The chicken Vermicelli was amazing! The price and quantity that you get was a good, price and the taste was even better. Hit the spot already ordered twice since. Definately a must try.

I ate some of my noodle, grilled chicken salad before I took this photo but couldn’t wait to eat it! So delicious. The mini is a hidden gem! Fast, friendly and great good for the price! Go and enjoy. Atmosphere is good too.

The Mini is one of our favourite places to eat in Windsor. Food is always fresh with the perfect amount of protein and vegetables. From Chicken Winograd, Cold Salad with bbq squid, Butter Chicken ( Vietnamese version) and BBQ Tofu on rice, the dishes are prepared hot, fresh and very flavourful. There is a tasty dish for every preference from spicy, mild, vegan, vegetarian and seafood. Almond cookie is a must for dessert. Take a few to go. Casual dining, warm service and fair prices. Takeout is popular but best to eat inside. Makes all the difference.
