I never thought I would love Indian food—but time and time again, it surprises me in the most beautiful way. ✨
This time I ordered Chicken Tikka Masala, garlic Naan, and Panjabi Baingan Bharta (medium – spicy) and some rose/glass noodles with ice cream thing (I didn’t like it) Overall Good good!
So many dishes are thoughtfully vegetarian , full of rich spices, warmth, and soul. Every bite feels nourishing, comforting, and joyful. Food has such a gentle way of opening our hearts and expanding our horizons.

My friend and I visited Manzil for the buffet. It was meh at best. Definitely prefer the buffet at Indian Cuisine on 34th. We would revisit Manzil again, but would order off the menu. The one waiter was very busy but was very polite. The buffet was not worth the cost.
Positives: The restaurant and bathrooms were immaculate. The atmosphere is lovely and would be a great setting for an evening date. The tamarind was thin but the flavor was good, and yogurt was great. Solid highlights were the chicken curry and the chana masala.
Not so great: Overall, the buffet selection was minimal. There was zero naan to be found- so we had naan of that. The temperature of the food was barely warm. The overall reliable flavors and spices were missing from nearly every dish. The mint chutney tasted flat and more like cilantro and lacked overall freshness. The onion chutney was bland like old onions and it didn’t bring any of the usual spicy brightness.

I got the Purani Butter Chicken and Dhaba Chicken Curry. The flavors of both dishes were good. The butter chicken seemed a bit more tomato based than I’ve had before, but still good. The chicken curry was good, but my dish was mostly sauce and not much chicken. I am mostly giving 4 stars because the flavor was good, just the lack of chicken in entrees and very very very small portion sizes for $21 each.

We dined here based on the near 5 stars we seen in reviews. For my experience im not sure it deserved a 5 star. I believe if our server was familiar with Indian food our diner woukd ha e been a 5 star. Let’s start with appetizer . We ordered the cauliflower and some of them seemed like freshly fried and seasoned but majority of the plate seemed as though it was a reheat.. possibly what was leftover from lunch service didnt go well and so it was fried a second time to reheat to serve at dinner. Some of the fried cauliflower was so hard fried I could have broken a tooth on it.. was like eating a rock. Now for dinner the lamb vindaloo was not spicy at all..very dull. Vindaloo is best at a spicy level. I should have gotten a hint when the waitress did not even ask what level of spice we wanted the Vindaloo. Most Indian restaurants will always ask what level of spice. The Pichi Mirchi kebabs were spicier than the Vindaloo and we were not even asked for a level of spiciness on that either. The basic jalapeño spice outbeat the bland Vindaloo. I woukd definitely order the Pichi Mirchi again it was so tender and delicious. We also order the Spicy Garlic naan.. it was also boring nonstick and really didnt taste garlic either. It tasted like the normal Haan. I will say for the price to only get 3 pieces of Naan was a little overboard. I will definitely look for an Indian restaurant much closer to citrus county when dinning out. This is not worth an hour drive. The restaurant itself was busy with carry out. The decor was OK in between Asian/Japanese and Hawaiian decor. The main bar was decorated like a tiki hut and the restaurant area had like a bamboo room divider .. I woukd have expected to see more reds and oranges and possibly some closer to Indian decor.

Absolutely DELICIOUS!!! I’m still thinking about it! My picture that I posted wasn’t as served as we already started eating because we just couldn’t help it! Then I thought, oh man .. I gotta get a pic! The vegetarian choices were so appetizing! I ordered one though asked to add chicken for a fair upcharge. It was Tuesday night and they were very busy….because it’s so good!!!!!!! Btw we ordered an appetizer & naan bread also. And you can have a side salad instead of rice for those of you watching carbohydrates!

I’ve come here often with very large groups and they have accommodated us comfortably every time. The food is delicious and warm and comes out on time, the staff and manager are exceptionally kind. This evening we had a party of about 15 people and needed space for prayer as well. Our waitress managed all the orders and checks and the manager was helping along and made space for prayer in the back as well. The food was excellent as well, the chicken biryani, lamb Rogan Josh, and naan were all fresh and tasted authentic. My favorite place in town for special occasions.

Ordered a pickup from this place and ordered a green salad. There was no photo on their menu, so we expected a regular size salad for $11, but instead got a small soup container salad. There’s also only ice berg lettuce, and not a “mix of fresh greens”

WOW! Walked in for the first time with my wife and we were greeted by Dharshan who sat us. We saw they were playing the cricket game and asked to move to another table to be able to watch the game. Other families watched along and it was an amazing experience. Ate so much, we were beyond full and multiple people checked and they were so attentive! As busy as they were they continuously refilled the buffet, which we appreciated as it stayed fresh, even if we had to wait a few minutes. We will be back for a date night and with friends and family

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Manzil Fine Indian Dining, and I must say, it was an incredible experience! I ordered the Tandoori Chicken, and it was nothing short of fantastic. The flavors were vibrant, and the spices were perfectly balanced, making each bite a delightful explosion of taste.
The chicken was tender and cooked to perfection, demonstrating the chef’s skill and attention to detail. It was so good, we ate it all!
Aside from the amazing food, the ambiance of the restaurant was warm and inviting, creating a perfect setting for an enjoyable meal. The staff was friendly and attentive, ensuring that my experience was top-notch from start to finish.
I highly recommend Manzil Fine Indian Dining to anyone looking for authentic Indian cuisine. I can’t wait to return and try more dishes from their menu!

Manzil is fantastic!!
Had dinner there on Thanksgiving and I have to say the most amazingly tasty Indian food (watch out for the spicy versions of the naan – it’s SPICY! ). We followed the recommendations on spiciness from the server but wish we’d gotten medium spice … depends on your spice pallet. 😉
The interior is beautifully decorated and quiet, which makes the ambiance very relaxing and intimate. The service is friendly, funny and accommodating as well as responsive but not obtrusive and no rushing, they give you all the time you want to enjoy your meal.
It is a bit on the pricey side but well worth it and look forward to trying their buffet sometime soon.
