Traditional Indian fare like tandoori chicken served in a sit-down restaurant with tablecloths.

We visit often this place when we want authentic and good indian food, the manager is so nice, she knows her customers and I think this place is a local restaurant that drserves to be considered a gem in Pinecrest.
You know its good when you spot more indian families visiting.
Chicken korma and chicken xacuti are our favorite dishes, they serve the indian tea and homemade naan, just delicious.
Sometimes they are short staffed but the manager is so professional, she has been able to handle it, however, I hope they get to hire enough people to keep the quality in food and service.

My 8 y/o daughter loves this place. Tonight we had chicken tikka masala curry, pistachio mushroom curry, garlic naan, dahl, chicken samosas, and mango lassi. The food was great and the service is always friendly and patient.

I had such a wonderful experience at this restaurant! We ordered the cashew mushroom and the pistachio mushroom, and both dishes were absolutely delicious definitely my favorites. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the staff is incredibly friendly and attentive. A special shout-out to our waiter, George, who made the experience even better with his great service. Overall, this is an amazing place that I would highly recommend!

I had an absolutely fantastic experience at this Indian restaurant. From the moment we walked in, the warm hospitality and inviting atmosphere set the tone for the evening. The décor strikes a perfect balance between modern elegance and traditional Indian charm, making it a comfortable spot for both casual dinners and special occasions.
The food was nothing short of outstanding. Every dish was beautifully presented and bursting with authentic flavors. To top it all off, the portions were generous and reasonably priced for the quality served. This restaurant delivers an authentic Indian dining experience that keeps you coming back for more. Highly recommended for anyone craving flavorful, comforting, and expertly prepared Indian cuisine!

Malai kofta is an old reliable – always good, rarely special – but the one we had here was special! Lots of cardamom, which isn’t something I’m used to in malai kofta but it was delicious. The mango lassi is solid – tastes very fresh. Enjoyed the appetizer platter; it has a different selection than I’m used to and even the classic standard – the samosa – was remarkably good; I’d say it’s probably the second best I’ve had in Miami, after, of course, Asia Grocery’s. The jamun was absolutely superb. That said, everything’s priced pretty high for the quantity of food given.
Overall – very good, especially for Miami, but a little pricey, so I’d highly recommend it for dates or other special occasions but maybe not for daily dining.
(Oh, also – adding this for algorithmic purposes, though it should pretty much be assumed for good Indian – excellent place for vegetarians. Extensive vegetarian menu, lots of high-quality options.)

Straight to the point…cozy and nice ambience and loyal clientele, but service on the January Saturday night I went was abysmal. Not just “one of those nights” bad, but so bad that people sat down and didn’t even get attended to for at least 20 minutes. Eventually, at least 3 or 4 tables got up and left before even putting in their dinner order. In my particular case, I was served my food, and my wife got hers 30 minutes later. At least we were actually served our food (crazy to think that’s something to point out in a restaurant review)! They had 2 servers when I arrived, but one abruptly left about 30 minutes later. My assumption is that the kitchen was running severely behind, and our lone server was either too embarrassed to apologize for the delays, or simply didn’t care. It was hard to tell.
The food was pretty good. Not the best Indian food I’ve had, but worthy of repeat visits if it wasn’t for the service. This is too bad because from talking to the people at the tables next to us, their food is good enough that people are willing to put up with the slow service that seems to be the norm here. But the service on this night took it to another level of bad. If they want to survive long term, the owners need to get their act together and improve the operations.

This was my second time coming because the food was too good not to come back. Everything has lived up to expectations and I haven’t gotten anything I didn’t enjoy! The butter chicken, chicken tikka masala, cheese and garlic naan, chicken lollipops, and the Thali lunch have all been reasons to go back. Lifetime customer!
