We had North Indian food at Bombay Bistro Hotel in Miami, Florida and truly loved the experience. We ordered naan, dal, and veg kadai — everything was served hot and tasted excellent. The service was outstanding: very patient, welcoming, and always with a smile. There was no waiting or time wasted. The moment we entered the hotel, we felt like we were back in India. A wonderful place for authentic food and heartfelt hospitality. Highly recommended!

I’m a huge lover of Indian food and this is not only the best Indian food I’ve ever had. It might be some of the best food I’ve ever had. The owners and staff were super kind and helpful with the options for vegan friendly items. I just finished my meal and I’m already planning my next visit. Thank you again so much!

To all who love Indian food and want to find by south Miami Beach. Here is the restaurant this place is really good, food is amazing and service too. I tried Panner Tikka Masala, Dal Tadka and Garlic Naan. I just loved it. Definitely Recommending Bombay Bistro.

This place is so delicious!! We had a great time and the servers were very friendly and polite. The lamb tiki masalla here is the best I’ve had, it’s so delicious as is everything. We had dessert too and I’d recommend their mango yogurt drink. Would definitely come back next time we visit.

If you’re looking for a place with incredible vegan options, look no further. The veggie korma dish is one of the best dishes I’ve ever had. Everything is really tasty, flavorful and feels like a warm hug. Highly recommend.

Amazingly delicious food and service. This is by far the best tasting authentic Indian food in south beach Miami. We always make it a point to visit Bombay Bistro whenever we are in Miami. Highly recommended !!!

The food is DELICIOUS!!! We got the samosa chaat, Chicken 65, chicken Tikka masala, butter chicken and garlic naan. Every single dish was delicious and well split amongst 4 people. Our host was super friendly and helpful! Would definitely recommend coming here for quality Indian food

Went for dinner on a weekday. Place can be easily located. Ordered paneer tikka masala and garlic naan. Food tastes good but quantity is only sufficient for 1 person per curry. We ordered another curry to compensate. Both curry tasted good, no complains. There was no rush here and we found a table instantly.

One of the best Naan's I've had in America! Paneer butter masala and dal makhni most recommended (I am vegetarian 🙏😁)

I recently had the pleasure of enjoying a delightful gastronomic experience at a local Halal Indian restaurant, where the highlight of my meal was the delectable combination of Chicken Kadai and freshly baked Naan bread. The incredible flavors and authentic preparation left a lasting impression, making it a memorable experience worth sharing. Let's delve into the star attraction of the meal—the Chicken Kadai. From the moment it arrived at my table, the enticing aroma of spices filled the air, providing a hint of the culinary delight to come. The chicken was tender and perfectly cooked, immersed in a luscious gravy infused with a harmonious blend of traditional Indian spices. The dish struck an ideal balance, offering a delightful fusion of heat and depth of flavor that didn't overwhelm the palate. Every bite was a pleasure, as the succulent chicken absorbed the essence of the spices, resulting in a delightful combination of taste and texture. Complementing the flavorful Chicken Kadai was the freshly baked Naan bread, a true masterpiece in its own right. Prepared in a traditional clay oven, the Naan emitted an enticing aroma and possessed a delightful chewiness. Its slightly charred edges and soft center created a pleasing contrast, making it the perfect accompaniment for savoring every last bit of the aromatic Chicken Kadai. A light brushing of ghee enhanced its richness, adding an extra layer of indulgence. The presentation of the dish was visually appealing, featuring vibrant colors and generous portions that left me feeling satisfied. The attentive and friendly staff at the restaurant provided excellent service, ensuring that my dining experience was pleasant and enjoyable. The only reason I didn't award a full five-star rating is that the spice level of the Chicken Kadai might be too intense for those who prefer milder flavors. While I personally relished the heat, toning it down slightly could make the dish more accessible to a broader range of palates. To sum it up, if you're seeking a remarkable Halal Indian dining experience, I highly recommend trying the Chicken Kadai and Naan at this restaurant. The expertly crafted flavors, tender chicken, and freshly baked Naan combine harmoniously to create an unforgettable symphony of taste. Although the spiciness might be a bit overwhelming for some, the overall culinary journey offered is well worth it. Give it a try and let your taste buds transport you to the vibrant streets of India.

Although the place might not give you an amazing feel,but their food does. Order a Chicken Tikka and Naan, the combination is delicious. Friendly service and pleasant music are an added bonus to this.

Bombay Bistro never disappoints. I’ve visited twice already, and the food is consistently amazing. The atmosphere is calm and colorful, great for families or couples.

The cauliflower wings are an explosion of flavor...unbelievable. Ginger and garlic are an understatement- they are more than just accompaniments. Potato dumplings were very comforting. Chef was generous with the sauces on dishes and the house hot sauce is amazing too.

Charlotte Matabaro

My sister an I were in the mood for a curry as we both love Indian food. We didn't see many in this area. Bombay Bistro showed on Google maps so we said we'd give it a try. I'm not joking when I say that we both agreed it was the nicest curry we'd ever had, and we both eat a lot of curry. The food tasted like it was cooked by someones mother with love. So fresh and alive with flavour. The outside of the restaurant lacks appeal but don't let that deter you. This is the nicest curry you will ever eat.

Sonny Acevedo

Food was amazing. I had the cauliflower wings and Tofu & mushrooms with butter sauce. I also got garlic naan. I was very surprised how good it was. I went 2 nights straight.I highly recommend.

There are not many Indian restaurants at South Beach. Food here is really good. Highly recommend. Service is also good. Ambiance is ok. Local is also ok. Just 2 blocks from Ocean drive.

I had a great experience, food had the right spice level. Waiter had suggested me to take mild and it was not very spicy. I can handle more ;) The service was very good. Looked after me and made sure I got all I need and asked how the food is. I had a for a starter the Coliflor Mix which was very tasty, crunchy and fresh. For main the Dhaal black. Overall very happy also the Mango Lassi was thick and tasty. I would come back here again for sure!! Only thing the price surprised me a bit.

Super clean, pretty interior, DELICIOUS food! I love the calm vibe of the restaurant and the Indian and Southeast Asian dishes are so tasty and healthy. I am bringing my vegan boyfriend back for our next daytime date. 10/10 ♥️

I kept seeing this place, so I decided to try it. The smoothies seem to have a lot of kratom in them. I purchased the mayasian runner just before the gym. The lentils were filling. It was a smaller bowl. I also liked the kale sagym. I finished the malaysian runner last hoping it will help in the gym. Overall good

Wonderful vegan options! We tried the black dal, tofu ya chickpeas and tofu wings. All three dishes were seasoned very well and made with the perfect spice level.

Best Indian Food on the beach. Just ignore any of the bad reviews that you might read. Service Charge is almost applied everywhere on the beach due to high rents and high cost of labor on this little island. Some people are just so used to writing bad reviews that nobody can help. This is the best option out of 4 Indian Restaurants that are in South Miami Beach. Unless you want to take an Uber and spend $50 each way or drive 1 hr in traffic, this is the best choice!!! I have lived on the beach for 5 years now and only eat Indian food here. Owner is honest hard working man! Sometimes his wife also helps him. But on weekends they get so busy that I understand why he gives a simple water bottle for free. Other restaurants on the beach will give you Saratoga Glass Bottle or some kind of sparkling water for $8+.

During my visit to South Beach I came across Bombay Bistro, and it turned out to be such a great find. The restaurant is very clean and well-kept, which immediately gave me a good impression. The service was attentive and friendly, and the food was full of authentic flavors. I left completely satisfied with both the meal and the attention I received.

Great service. We had butter chicken, garlic naan, pav bhaji and mango lassi. The butter chicken had a south Indian twist, which was unique. Pav bhaji was homely, served with lemon and onions. Highly recommend the mango lassi. Salt was a little on the lower side, but that can be easily adjusted to taste. Two minutes walking distance from Ocean Drive.

Located in the heart of miami, Bombay Bistro is a humble Indian eatery that packs a flavorful punch. Despite its unassuming exterior, this hidden gem delivers an authentic culinary experience that will transport your taste buds to the streets of Mumbai. As I stepped into Bombay Bistro, I was greeted by the warm aromas of spices and the inviting ambiance of the restaurant. The décor is simple yet charming, with touches of Indian culture sprinkled throughout, creating a cozy atmosphere that immediately made me feel at home. The menu at Bombay Bistro is a celebration of Indian cuisine, offering a wide range of classic dishes that cater to every palate. From fragrant curries to tandoori specialties and hearty biryanis, there's something for everyone to enjoy. I opted for the paneer masala, a rich and creamy dish that perfectly balanced bold spices with a hint of sweetness. Each bite was a culinary delight, leaving me craving more long after the meal was over. One of the highlights of my dining experience at Bombay Bistro was the exceptional service. The staff was friendly, attentive, and eager to ensure that every aspect of my meal was enjoyable. From recommendations on menu items to prompt refills of water and naan, their attention to detail truly elevated the dining experience. In addition to the mouthwatering food and impeccable service, Bombay Bistro also offers excellent value for money. The portion sizes are generous, and the prices are reasonable, making it an ideal spot for a casual meal with friends or a family dinner.

My family visited Bombay Bistro restaurant at South beach Miami and we were delighted by the excellent taste of the food, the ambience, quick/friendly service and the overall experience. We liked the food so much yesterday that we decided to go there again today. Conveniently located within 2 blocks from the beach. I highly recommend trying this place and you would be pleasantly surprised with the quality of the food.

Wandered into this place from the beach. Absolutely excellent food. Ordered the black dhal and shrimp bhuna. Very fresh and flavorful. The owner is welcoming and kind. Finished off with mango lassi that was perfect. Very mango forward. Casual atmosphere with reasonable prices. Will absolutely go back whenever I’m in Miami

harshini hegde

Bombay Bistro in Miami Beach absolutely blew me away! We ordered the chicken gravy, and let me tell you, this dish brings true Indian flavor right into the heart of Miami. Rich, aromatic, and perfectly spiced, it reminded me of the kind of curry you’d get in a proper home-style Indian kitchen. The ambience is charmingly Indian, with walls decorated in colorful posters of iconic Bollywood actors and it almost feels like being transported straight to Mumbai. And the hospitality from Mr. Santosh is on another level. His warmth, professionalism, and years of experience in hospitality really shine through in every interaction. If you’re in Miami Beach and craving authentic Indian cuisine, this is the place to be. A must-visit and you’ll walk out smiling and satisfied.

C
Chris Samuel

This is some really good Indian food!! I dig it a lot!!!! I had the chicken tikka masala and lamb biryani and they were both AMAZING!! The masala was unlike anything I’ve ever had, it was thick, rich and really tasty!! I greatly recommend it!!

Geetha P Hegde

I had a delightful experience at Bombay Bistro! I opted for the dal, veg tadka, and of course warm, freshly made naan, and everything tasted wonderful, comforting, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The dal had just the right balance of spices, and the naan was soft and perfect for dipping. What truly stood out to me was the atmosphere. And I can’t forget the mango lassi that is creamy, refreshing, and absolutely delicious. Bombay Bistro is a spot I would happily return to and strongly recommend to anyone wanting to enjoy real Indian food with genuine hospitality.

Amazing experience! The food was full of flavor and the spices were perfectly balanced. The staff was friendly and attentive. I’ll definitely come back on my next trip to Miami. Try the tandori chicken and samosa! it’s absolutely delicious

B
Basil K Varghese

Came here because the heart craved some indian food after days of eating other cuisines. The service wasn't great but I wouldn't expect anything more from a typical indian restaurant in the US. They seemed understaffed and the service quality showed that. However the food made up for it. One of the best I've had in US. We had naan, chicken tikka masala and Veg Kadai. The chicken tikka masala was probably the best I've had in the US. It's not the typical tomato gravy that you usually get. This tasted different and really good. The Veg Kadai was also very feel good although the potatoes could have been cooked a bit more. Would probably come back the next time we visit Miami. And yes, the food is a bit expensive.

S
Steve Cessna

We are Vegan and are always looking for a whole food plant based option when visiting Miami. There was an entire section on the menu for us to choose from. Our waiter was very friendly and gave us suggestions on what to order. The food was amazing, very flavorful and the spice was spot on. Over all experience was five stars. We will be back.

R
Roge Karma

Please do not believe some of the 1-star reviews on here -- many of which seem like bots. It is a tragedy that this place isn't rated more highly than it is. The food is out of this world. Truly. We live in Washington DC which is full of Indian restaurants and this is quite possibly the best I've ever had. We ordered the gobi cauliflower, tofu tikka masala, and then a off-menu chickpea/tofu/potato curry that our server said he would make for us special. It was divine. Will be coming back here every time we're in Miami!

A
Aparna Dutt

If you are looking for indian food with “indian” taste, for sure visit this place. If you love thin crispy naan, then this is the best place. If you want extra thin and crispy, just ask for it, they will make it perfect. Really like paneer tikka masala and daal makhani.

We had dinner at Bombay Bistro for two days in a row and the experience was amazing both times. The food was delicious, full of authentic flavors and very well prepared.

I left very happy and i’m looking forward to come back soon.

MUCH better than the restaurants by the beach walk. Great food, tasted fresh, good portions and much less oily & better priced than other restaurants in the area. Definitely coming back if I'm in the area. Small downside was that they did not have ice for the drinks or in general.

A

The food was really great, we had the butter chicken and chicken Briyani, would recommend the former over the latter but both still yummy. They have Halal chicken, lamb and goat options which are great. The owner is a great guy, and very hospitable. Overall a nice experience and evening!

K
Khanjan Patel

Don't be fooled by the appearance of this place. It might look a bit run down but the food will give you a good punch, with decent service. Their pav bhaji had a twist of garlic, and it was as flavorful as it was delicious. A dish worth having here. Their cauliflower appetizer however mediocre in taste, it was off putting due to the excessive color dye added to it. I liked that their papad was roasted and not fried.

R

The tandoori chicken is very well flavored and well grilled, not sure if it’s made in a tandoor but it tasted good and medium spicy (could go a. It more spicy), but the quantity it very small for the price. The bhel puri chat was really great and well flavored savory sweet and spicy with fresh ingredients but again it was tiny quantity and very over priced. The chicken tikka masala was ok but too sweet and not spicy at all. Not a true tikka masala. Quantity was small, but check pieces were good and tender. The rice was not long basmati and was very dry starchy not soft and separated grains. The buttermilk was straight from a buttermilk bottle without any flavoring masala mint or cilantro. But the mint chutney from the tandoori chicken was awesome so I mixed it with that. The garlic naan was phenomenal, hand made fresh well baked maybe in a pizza oven it was really good. The reason this is 3 star is because the service charge is 16% and and the quantities are super tiny. Service was good and polite.

n
neha lahri

Its was okay. We did not find the food flavour full. The gravy was prepared in bulk and was not fresh. Although its was okay overall. But we won’t go there again.

K
Kapil Sanghi

overpriced. $6 for 1 pc garlic Naan. $9 samosa. Onion salad was a joke. Dirty cutlery

S
Sai Sukanya Billapati

Food is good. Servers are all friendly. Adding stars because of this. But there is a person( probably someone from management) who is very rude to customers and talking disrespectfully. They have added 15% gratuity by default. When we asked why is it added, they said it is mandatory in south beach( By law, we have to pay that). When I referred online, it says restaurants have to mention this rule in menu clearly. I could not find proper information of this gratuity in menu, still we had to pay the 15% gratuity. Actually the main issue is not making us to pay 15%. But, the way that person responded to us, when we asked why is it added is the WORST.

Fatima Masud

Bollywood themed with weird lighting, cheap ambiance. Service is grumpy and food ok.

K
Krovvidi Supraja

Had the worst experience dining here. The food had no sense of taste. We ordered indo-Chinese fried rice and noodles but they’re full of sauces and unbearably tangy. When asked for a refund, they just said “that’s what we offer everyone!”, which is just ridiculous. It costed us $60 for absolutely nothing!! I wouldn’t recommend this at all.

D
Denny Varghese

We ordered Tandoori chicken, but it was atleast 2 day old deep fried chicken coated with some sweet sauce which is definitely added to mask its original taste…I’m very sure they don’t care about quality of food as the customers are not regular , but tourists from different parts of America.. We were only two. We expected 21 dollar dish has some good quantity. And god bless restaurant owner too for serving quality food.

S
Seltene Naga Syrine

RUN! Being used to Indian food (about once a week), I can tell you this wasn’t good at all, really not. I’ve never seen so many potatoes in a dish! I didn’t even have any sauce; it was completely dry. On the other hand, the gentleman who served us was very kind and friendly, that was the only positive point about the restaurant.

n
nagaraja kumarasamy

We ordered lamb, chicken biriyani and chicken 65. Wait time was very short. Food was very average. Biriyani had few many tamarind pieces with seed left in biriyani. Rice was too little an filled with meat.instead of chicken 65 I got chilli chicken semi gravy. Chicken was not cooked properly and was not fresh. Prices shown shown in menu was lesser and they charged 4 dollars more in each dish and when checked they did reduced it to original price.

K
Kiriti Badam

Avoid this unless you are desperate for some Indian food. Pricey but yukk in taste. Chicken 65 is onions and old smelly sauce, some chicken if you are lucky. Samosa chat is samosa and some corn flakes. That's about it.

a
anilsai nalluri

I respectfully ask that no Indian with good taste buds ever enter this place. I've visited several Indian restaurants across the United States, but I've never had such a meal. The meat is extremely rancid and the food quality is bad. Not worth for your hard earned dollar.

Only Karnataka people have to visit this stupid restaurant.. That owner not even having respect towards customer.. He asked us where are you from.. we said we are from Hyderabad… owner replied Hyderabadis are very cheap cheap cheap.. the unexpected welcome…we felt very bad for that.. we didn’t ordered anything because of the stupid words and we said thank you bye bye… at that time also he didn’t even shut his mouth.. he said you Hyderabad people are very disrespectful… you didn’t order anything and wasted our time… he “HATES “KIDS” he scolds … “HE IS VERY VERY RUDE”… and don’t know how he got 4.2 rating…

I wish there was a negative star rating. The food was pathetic and Chicken was stale and not at all edible. Server/Acting Manager Rishi was rude. I’m surprised how this had 4+ rating but I wouldn’t recommend this to anyone. Really disappointed with the food and service here.

Indian here. Visited this restaurant as it was the one Indian place on South Beach and with decent ratings. I don't know if it was an off day or what, but I would not come here if you were looking for good Indian food. We ordered the Samosa Chaat for the appetizer. The samosas felt reheated/frozen. Nothing wrong with it but taste was bang average, a solid 5/10. For main course we had Aloo Matar. The gravy was good however a lot of the potato pieces were uncooked/raw in the middle. 6/10 We ordered a garlic naan to go with it, but I don't think it resembled a naan- more like a papad. It was hard, crispy/crusty, not fluffy and soft at all. This is easily the worst "naan" i have had in my life, I do not even know how it would be made like that. This was a farce, especially for that price. 0/10 The server was super friendly so thats a plus. Also, there was no tap water served with the meal and we had to buy a bottle. I have never been to a place that does not atleast offer a glass of water complimentary. Also, the restaurant levies a service charge, which seems to be the norm at South Beach. Just a heads up so as to you dont fall for double tipping! Edit: After scrolling through other reviews, I noticed two things: The downright rude response of the owner to bad reviews, every single one of them. If you are not going to be open to criticism, you won't improve. Listening to customer experiences and taking them in stride is important - both good and bad ones. Secondly, I see a lot of AI-worded 5 star reviews. You will know when you read them if you have spent any amount of time with ChatGPT. and these are from accounts that have no other reviews. This is probably how the restaurant has a 4.4 rating. I dont know why or who would do this, but make of this information what you will.

No flavor ! We asked for spicy but it wasn’t spicy at all! They gave us two of the SAME dish, and kept arguing that it was “different”. Please look at the pictures and see how is the same. Never going back!!!

How is this place still in business? Had an absolutely horrible experience 1. We waited 15 mins before someone took our order. Had to ask them 3 times to take our order. 2. Water came in a one time use bottle. Which was bring reused. That too half full. 3. The glasses were also very dirty. Had finger stains from curry all over the glass. 4. Only 1 paper napkin with the plate. No extras on the table 5. There were 10 drinks on the menu, but had only one in stock. What’s the point of menu and options then? Every drink that I wanted was not in stock. 6. Ordered pav bhaji. I was told that it comes with 3 pavs(buns). In fact it was 1.5 buns in reality. They were 3 half-buns. Pathetic. 7. Ordered $22 Hakka Noodles. That was the most disgusting food I ever tasted. The noodles were not even cooked properly, veggies were literally like the Walmart frozen mix veggies and those as well raw. Spices were all over place. No taste. I tried to eat as much as I could to try and atleast makeup for the money. But I wasn’t strong enough. 8. Vibe was very pathetic as well. There are not many Indian food options around. So I was pressed to try this out. But am utterly disappointed. What’s the point of business if there is no good product. Should focus on how to make food and serve right - the basic things which restaurants are supposed to do, you know. I hope the owner reads this and do some thinking.

Wife had lamb vindaloo and the meat was overcooked so it was very tough. They also put green peppers in vindaloo 🤷My tandoor chicken was overcooked also and was awful. Plus they charge a mandatory service 15% on top. Never going back and you shouldn’t either

The worst Indian food you can possibly ever taste in your life and not so friendly staff. The food is not even edible. How this restaurant is still surviving is beyond anyone. The chicken was stale and not cooked properly and bland. Anyone who doesn’t want to spend their entire day in the bathroom or end up skipping their lunch completely should avoid this place. Save yourself some headache !!

I don’t understand why this place is named Bombay Bistro. It doesn’t reflect anything about Bombay—neither the food nor the quality of service. If you’re expecting the flavors or hospitality Bombay is known for, this place will disappoint. The service was poor—they didn’t even offer water until we were almost done with our meal. Their staff’s way of requesting customers to wait was shockingly rude: “You wait outside,” with no “please,” “can you,” or any basic courtesy. To make matters worse, their “Biryani” isn’t even authentic, as admitted by their staff. Please don’t defame Bombay with such a name. Save your time and money and skip this restaurant. Look at the review below by Meghan Chepaneria. She raised a complaint, but notice how the restaurant staff/owner responded—they lack the courtesy to listen or address their issues.

Food and service were both unacceptable. The chicken was uncooked and appeared rotten. When I asked to cancel the order, the manager(name Rishi) was arrogant and refused. Paying $23 for this uncooked chicken was completely unreasonable.

Extremely rude and disrespectful staff. When we asked about South Indian food, the order taker told us to “go to another city” and even said “we only want customers, not people like you.” Completely unacceptable behavior. Not recommended at all.

I had a very disappointing experience at this Indian restaurant. The chicken tasted stale and had an unpleasant smell, which immediately put me off. The rest of the food was just as bad—bland, poorly cooked, and overall pathetic. It felt like there was no concern for food quality or freshness. I definitely won’t be coming back and would not recommend this place to anyone.

I ordered two tikka masala dishes for pickup, drove about 10 minutes to my house, opened up the bag pretty much immediately when I got home and was met with with the nastiest looking tikka masala I have ever seen. The dish was completely separated and definitely not editable. Spent just shy of $80 for two tikka masalas and samosas and threw all of it in the trash because I was worried of getting sick from any of it. I will say, the gentlemen that gave me my order was very nice.

Service is top notch… I think his name is Santhosh.. other than that food is just ok.. garlic naan was over burnt.. chicken Kadai is flavorless and chicken didn’t had any taste to it, more like boiled and thrown in tomato gravy/sauce. Expensive as well!! Edit: we had food poison issue after having dinner here, will not come again.

During my visit to Miami, I ordered from Bombay Bistro and unfortunately regret the decision. The food was far below average. I ordered Chicken Biryani, Curd Rice, Puliyogare Rice, Shahi Paneer, and Naan. First, the Naan wasn’t even included in the order — which I only realized after driving another 30 miles. Second, the quality and taste of the food didn’t match the names on the menu. The Chicken Biryani tasted like it was made by simply mixing different chicken curries with rice, and it was terrible. The Curd Rice was okay, since it’s hard to go wrong with that, but the Puliyogare and Shahi Paneer were both disappointing as well. Overall, I’m very unhappy with the experience. Even after paying a premium price — over $20 just for the biryani — the food was extremely poor. I would not recommend ordering from here.

The overall experience was very disappointing. The atmosphere felt unwelcoming, and the service was rude. The staff argued with us before finally bringing the samosas we had ordered. The veg biryani was essentially plain pulao with no taste. The dal was only average, and the mango lassi was not good. When we asked for tea, we were told this was a “commercial kitchen” and that they would not make just one tea—we had to order two. Because of the way this was communicated, we chose not to order tea. We were also surprised to see a 15% service charge added, counting our 2-year-old baby as part of the group. Between the poor food quality, rude service, and unexpected charges, this is not a place I would return to or recommend.

Worst veg biryani ever had and price doesn't justify the taste! Also they do charge you for service as mandatory service charge instead of tip option so you will not be able to choose it even though you did not like food much! Additionally they will give one bottle of water which they says mineral water, when we asked him to provide regular water he just switch the same bottle with another one and gave so check before whether you guys will be actually paying for mineral water or just paying for regular water. Did not had a great time! Reply to restaurants comment below: Well they say service charge is additional, I am glad to pay service charge more than 20% too when service and food is good. But the way person replies to your comment, no courtesy of acknowledging the food is not good. I even spoke about water, they didn't tell anything about that because I saw with my eyes today. Didn’t had a great time at all. You can see how they are with their customers. Also you can check my reviews which are good and which are bad, I don't need justification from you on that.

I have never eat this kind of biriyani in my whole life including united states. It was tomato rice name of biriyani. The panner butter masala seems to have lots of food color added( not sure on why it was so red) . Definitely not worth for the price if you are north indian!

If i have a chance to give minus stars, I would have given -20. I generally don’t write bad reviews on food but this is the worst food i have ever had in my life. Please do not enter if you are an Indian. Because this food tasted WORST. Biryani is full of tomato curry with 2 chicken/lamb pieces and some rice here and there. Veg fried rice is full of just tomato sauce and large cubes of veggies. They don’t give extra raitha, and if you ask water, they’ll fill tap water in a bottle and serve it. THIS IS THE WORST. Try to eat some pizza or something other than this food. The boy who served was very humble, thats the reason for 2 stars for service. Thanks for your attention.

Do not recommend this restaurant at all. If you walk 3 more minutes there is Mediterranean restaurant named Saffron grill whose food is much better. After having a bad experience I did realize most of the 5 star reviewers have only 1-5 reviews only which looks like fake ones to justify the 4.4 rating. Also after every few bad review you can suddenly see good reviews from these ppl. I don’t understand why we need to wait outside the restaurant when you are in no one’s way. You can’t even be cordial about it. Second the food is so bad. Pav Bhaji- Bhaji was ok but didn’t cook it well to even cool the masala. Two mini lemon peices were given. Veg hakka noodles- more like masala noodles where you could taste the masala. Don’t know on which earth is this noodles. I understand why they charge the 15% bcz no one would tip them. We didnt even finish any of our food. The owner doesn’t even bother.

Karan Malhotra

I don’t usually leave food reviews because I like to give places the benefit of the doubt. Unfortunately, my experience here was very disappointing. The chicken was in such poor condition that we couldn’t continue eating it. I’m sorry to say this, but dining here felt risky. I’d recommend choosing another Indian restaurant. It’s also disappointing to see how management responds to negative feedback. Instead of addressing concerns constructively, the replies seem defensive. Owning the issues and working to fix them would go a long way.

Hrushi Patel

Guys, first thing is this restaurent is Shady. If your food taste is from North then DO NOT GO HERE!!!! They have literally done jugad if you know what i ment. It is mostly Southern food taste. It is not close enough to Northern food taste. If this is the ONLY option you have for indian food then it might not hurt to fill the hunger. Please look for another option if your food taste is not southern. I have not tried south indian food here so not sure about that. Good Luck!!! Do not go if you have tried food anywhere besides southern part. It is not worth for price.

I would recommend going here if you really just want to eat something Indian, and are not flexible about the cuisine.I had the 'Vengaya Curry' and the 'Paneer Kadhai', there were barely any paneer pieces, the eggplant in the vengaya curry was not cooked properly. We had these curries with garlic naan, and each garlic naan is less than half the size of a regular one I have eaten in most Indian places. I have been to Indian restaurants in each city I have visited in the US in the past 5 years and this was by far my worst experience. The prices are extremely high for the quantity served. It is such a great location right by the Ocean Drive and South Beach, I hope that the experience and food improves!
