Arrived to meet friends. Then realized wrong date. Not worry enjoyed a fabulous Lamb Rogan Josh spice level 9 / 10. It was tasty and cooked to perfection. Sat at the bar while awaiting my non-arriving friends. Enjoyed a Taj Mahal Black Label. Helped with the hot spices in the food. I’ll be back..

I had a great experience here about three months ago, which made today’s visit a little disappointing.
I arrived around noon, and while the food was still tasty, the overall quality felt noticeably different. Several items weren’t being replenished, the variety seemed more limited, and some dishes looked like they had been sitting out for a while. Comparing it to the photos from my previous visit, there’s definitely a visible difference.
I was especially looking forward to the papadum they offered before, but it wasn’t available this time. The ice cream machine was also out of order, which was a bit of a letdown. Even the restroom had maintenance issues.
For $16.99, I do expect a more consistent experience, especially considering how impressed I was during my last visit. Service was okay, but overall this visit didn’t live up to the standard I experienced before.
I’m hoping this was just an off day, because I know they’re capable of doing better.

Had a fantastic lunch at 5th Element Indian Bistro & Bar! Their lunch buffet is an incredible deal — under $20 per person — with both a meat bar and a vegan bar, plus dessert and chai tea. Everything was flavorful and freshly made. The restaurant is located in a plaza with plenty of parking, which is super convenient. Though the space looks a bit run-down, it’s large with lots of tables and perfect for groups. The service was good, and I noticed many Indian guests dining there, which really speaks to the authenticity of the food. Highly recommend if you’re in the mood for real Indian cuisine!

My friend and I went on a dinner date and 5th Element was the best decision.
We ordered Mix Veg Pakora, Chicken Soup, and Pani Puri for appetizers. Dinner was Natukodi Chicken, Mango Chicken, Onion Kulcha, and Kabuli Naan. We both ordered Chai as well. Everything was delicious, made to taste, and fresh.
Highly recommend 5th Element.

This is the second time we’ve been to this location of the 5th Element Indian Bistro. Great authentic Indian home cooked meals served buffet style during the lunch. Great for both vegetarian and meat lovers. There are also plenty of dessert options including our fav mango ice cream and fruit custard.
Friendly service and reasonable prices. Highly recommended!

First time rushed experience due to sick wife at home, Jewish holiday stress and between two doctor appointments with bad news given at one and expected at second. Clean, bright, roomy, quiet and well marked food choices of Indian dishes. Arrival at 12:00 noon seemed everything fresh and not picked over in Lunch Buffet line which was only choice at venue. Dinner is a la carte. It has been over 40 years since memorized contents of dishes. Therefore enjoyed clearly marked goat curry, buttered naan, and white rice. Did not have time to inquire of other interesting dishes. Able to obtain two cans of diet coke as,we’ll. Appreciated full bottle of water placed on table while I went to buffet line.

So good I almost don’t want to tell anyone! Wonderful from the start with seating right away. Friendly, knowledgeable staff helped when I couldn’t remember the name of the appetizer I wanted and described it to them. We had pani pourri, delicious puffed shells filled with spiced potatoes, red onion, lemon juice and topped with a flavorful cilantro “water.” So refreshing! For our entrees we shared Chicken Tikka and Chicken Korma and an order of Garlic Naan. The entrees came with basmati rice, as well. Every bite was a delight! The servers were so kind and checked on us frequently to make sure we had everything we needed. We didn’t get dessert because we were full from eating all of the entrees!
We will definitely be back!!

Visited Element Indian Bistro for dinner and had an overall great experience. We arrived around 9:40 PM (they close at 10), but the staff was welcoming and served us without rushing. The ambiance was lovely—colorful Indian décor, upbeat Bollywood music, and a well-curated vibe. Their menu is extensive with chef and weekend specials, so take your time choosing!
What we tried:
• Mulligatawny Veg Soup (8/10): Warm, comforting, and packed with flavor. It had visible oil on top and a curry-like base—definitely more of a spiced broth than a traditional soup, but still delicious.
• Karampodi Chicken (10/10): A standout dish! Crispy on the outside, juicy inside, and coated in fiery South Indian spices and lentil powder. It reminded me of Chicken 65, but with an extra punch. Highly recommended—especially if you like bold flavors.
• Aloo Tikki Chaat (9/10): Very fresh and flavorful. The crunchy sev on top was a nice touch. Just note: it’s more of a mashed potato base, not a traditional fried aloo tikki patty, which might be unexpected from the name.
• Noodles (6/10): Ordered mild for the kids but found it too oily. Large chunks of cabbage and peas were slightly undercooked. Not the best choice from the menu.
• Chicken Karhai with Boiled Rice (4/10): Disappointing. It had raw capsicum and tomato chunks, and the curry was more yogurt/cream-based than tomato-based—which didn’t match traditional Karhai expectations. More like a generic chicken curry. However, they kindly offered complimentary raita after we mentioned the spice level, which tasted great.
• Roti: Soft, fresh, and well-made. No complaints here.
Spice Levels: They offer a 1–10 spice scale. I went with 3 and still found it quite spicy, so adjust accordingly depending on your tolerance.
Final Thoughts: Great atmosphere, attentive service, and a few dishes worth coming back for (especially the Karampodi Chicken!). Some misses, but the overall dining experience was enjoyable. Would recommend for anyone looking to explore authentic Indian flavors with a vibrant setting.

I had an amazing meal at Fifth Element in Delray Beach! The **Chicken Hakka Noodles** were fantastic—stir-fried egg noodles with tender chicken, crisp veggies, and a bold, spicy Indo-Chinese sauce. The **Chicken Boneless Biryani** was equally delicious, with fragrant rice and well-spiced chicken delivering authentic flavors. The **Mango Ice Cream** dessert was creamy and refreshing, perfectly balancing the meal’s spices. The cozy ambiance and attentive service made the experience even better. Fifth Element is a must-visit for Indian cuisine lovers craving vibrant, flavorful dishes. I can’t wait to return!

5th Element in Pompano is delicious.
But 5th Element Delray Beach is different.
3 stars for the kind servers & the venue itself. This place is located in a plaza and is large filled with many tables. We tried all sorts of dishes. We love indian food and get it every wknd. I would suggest lighten up on salt and try a more fresh approach. We are foodies and we do care, so sharing these ideas more to help.
Dosa appetizer – potatoes tasted salty
Cauliflower appetizer – overly sauced & salty
Pani Puri appetizer – tasty
Tandoori Chicken platter – tasty
Eggplant curry – overly salty
