The Most Scrumptious Indian in Miami

Ashoka Indian Restaurant Miami

★★★★☆ 4.4 (546) • $$

"Our experience with Indian food in Miami wasn't great. This place opens late in the evening, and we stopped by after a tiring day. It's a spacious venue with plenty of tables and a bar.We were greeted by one of the staff members, who seemed busy. She showed us to a table and left, leading to a long wait for water and menus.The menu looked decent with some great options, but it was another long wait for her to return and take our order. We ordered mixed vegetable pakoras for appetizers, and for the main course, butter naan, paneer tikka masala, and vegetable biryani. By this time, the restaurant was almost empty, except for a couple of groups finishing their dinner.She returned after 10 minutes to inform us they didn't have biryani, so we ordered additional naan instead. Another 10-15 minutes passed before our food finally arrived. The paneer tikka masala was delicious with great flavor. The butter naan was soft when served but quickly turned hard like a brick, making it difficult to enjoy.While the food was mostly good, the service was disappointing. It was already late in the evening, and leaving guests unattended for so long was not what we expected. Better communication about any delays would have made a difference. I hope they improve their service for future customers."

"When I'm craving for something hearty and spicy, I go for Indian food. And this place was just what I was looking for. Authentic, delicious, and affordable. It's just too bad it's an hour away from my home but it sure was worth the drive.We came here for lunch so we just shared some appetizers and their lunch plates. Started with the Tandoori Chicken Momos and Gobi Machurian. Wow! The momos were sizzling and so yummy and the Gobi was so addictive. For the main courses, we got the Chicken Vindaloo Special and the Lamb Butter Masala specials (see my pics). Each order comes with Rice, Lentils, Salad, Samosa, Chaat, Naan, and Dessert all for less than $20. What a deal and so filling. Perfect portion especially if you're on a time limit. Also, we got an order of the Lamb Chops. Again. Sizzling hot and perfectly cooked. OMG. I'm still drooling thinking about it. Big fan of this place. Good service. The place is clean and modern with good parking but the food is really the star of this Indian restaurant. Just the presentation alone will impress you."

★★★★★ 5 (7) • $$$

"The service and food is top quality. The appetizer lamb chops with green sauce (pictured) was to die for! The eggplant entree with jasmine rice was exquisite and so was the lamb entree. The dessert was also very good (pictured). Unlike the other reviews, the food did not take long to come out, maybe because it was 9pm in a Saturday night. William, our waiter, was friendly and made our first time visit pleasant. The only thing we found awkward was that the waiter went next door to Tutto Pasta to get my hubby's espresso and gave him the separate bill to boot! We have no clue why, but definitely deserves an "A" for effort in my book! We will return to Ayesha."

Kam's Roti Shop

★★★★☆ 3.6 (44)

"After getting our taxes done, we walked down to this shop. This is one of those stores a local runs and provides services based on their native customs. All that to say expect a different level of service. If you have traveled internationally, you know that less touristy places that do not cater to Americans are usually the most authentic and worth visiting. The other reviews rated this place down for no AC and the wait. I rated this place based on those factors too. Let's talk about it. First time here, and we really enjoyed the food. My husband is from the same country and told me the food is excellent and authentic. I really appreciated the cleanliness of the location too. Food Pholouri 12 pieces of soft deep-fried dough. Reminds me a bit of Brazilian cheese bread. Boneless Chicken, something I forgot. Roti dough is similar to naan bread and pita bread. Comes with soft chicken breast chunks and chickpeas mixture inside a soft roti. Made fresh, and it was delicious. The owner sat and chatted with us, and we learned a lot about her and her family. Made FreshShe makes everything fresh and on the stop to ensure the highest quality. Her menu is simple, only a few items, and she wants to make them fresh, which at times means it will take a minute. Spicy level?She only adds spicy if you want it. She makes it without because it is easier to add than to remove the spicy level. No ACHer husband passed a few years ago from living in the cold. They spent their last few years together in South Florida. The weather is similar to her hometown, so she doesn't turn on the AC. The fans blow, and it is cool enough. If you go in with the right expectations, it is enjoyable. TippingAlso, she didn't allow us to tip when we paid. She clicked no tip and gave us our receipt. Overall, it was a lovely experience, and it might not be ideal for visiting on a really hot, busy day. Still, any other day I say give it a go. If they had AC this place would be 5 stars hands down."

"have heard good things about this place for years from a friend so finally decided to check it out when i was in the plaza. when I walked in all the food looked extremely fresh and the place smelled great. Got a large saltfish with steamed cabbage. initially I was surprised at the price after purchasing but when i tasted the food.. it tasted great so it didn't bother me as much . One of the best salt fish ive ever had.. not too salty, well seasoned, not too oily or watery either.. and great flavor.... they also gave a decent amount....Overall id def come back esp to try the roti.. maybe next time ill get a small though lol."

"I have been watching and waiting for this place to open, since I heard they were coming to Doral. I came with three friends and we were all suitably impressed. We received fast and friendly service from Guiller. We all ordered from their lunch menus, and the dishes did not disappoint. I tried their chicken tikka masala and asked for medium. Boy oh Boy it was hot, but I loved it. Everything was fabulous and I will most definitely be coming back."

"We had the chicken kadhai, lamb madras, and shrimp vindaloo. All were absolutely delicious and we definitely overate because it was so yummy. I have a few allergies/sensitivities and they were really great about my ordering and checking in after we got the food which was super appreciated! We will definitely be back!I do wish they had dosa, but I also may have missed it."

The Hibiscus

★★★☆☆ 3 (45)

"This was a perfect recommendation location outside of the usual Caribbean restaurants everyone ventured to. It's a family-owned and operated Guyanese-Chinese fusion restaurant which will now be added to my #SouthFloridaEats spots. Located in a strip mall, the food was prompt and tasty.... the music was pumping as it's also a sports bar Definitely check it out.E A T SFried Rice, Chow Mein, and Fried Chicken I could have eaten an entire plate of the #chowmein... sooooo good"

Spice Magic Indian Cuisine

★★★★☆ 4.3 (41) • $$

"This new and aptly named restaurant first surprised me with their buffet, not only offering up southern Indian dishes usually not found in other buffets I've been, but also the appropriate spice levels that gives Indian food it's full magic. Can't take the heat? That's what the Raita is for. Dinner was the next surprise, and here's where you can control the magic, but take note; the magic is strong!Start with mild and work your way up. One of my friends who normally likes to take spice level to "eleven" is perfectly content with ordering medium here. I have to agree with him on that, I ordered my Kadai Lamb hot, and it was properly HOT. That's a good thing, and it shouldn't change, but I think it may be a shock to the uninitiated.The menu is extensive, even offering indo-chinese items and many veg options. Prices are reasonable and so are the portions. The staff is very friendly and the place is very clean and bright, even nicer than the pictures would suggest. It's a little premature to call it "the best in Miami" just yet, but they're off to a great start."

Akash Miami Beach

★★★★★ 4.6 (281) • $$

"It had been a while since I had Akash but I recently ordered it twice and it was so so good and fresh! I always order delivery and food gets here fresh and warm. My order remains the same - mango lassi, garlic naan, vegetable korma (with basmati rice), and vegetable samosas. Their portions are generous. Prices are a little high but definitely worth the treat. If I ever need to call about my order, staff is nice! Definitely one of my favorite places in Miami Beach!"

Singh's Roti Delight

★★★★☆ 4.4 (196) • $$

"Today I came for their Sunday special : tomato choka, eggplant choka, salt fish served with naan. With a bottle of water, it costed a meager $8+. What a deal. And the food was fresh and homely. The quantities are huge. Quick service. Has Bollywood music playing in the background giving it a Dhaba or small town restaurant feel. The naan felt doughey but other than that it's a must try if you are into budget friendly ethnic cuisines."

Bombay Darbar

★★★★★ 4.5 (1623) • $$

"Bombay Darbar knocks it off the park every single time I go. From the service, to the ambiance it's a coconut grove staple that just gets it when it comes to 5 star hospitality. This Indian Restaurant is home to one of the best biryani, butter and chicken tandoori you'll get in the 305. Its authenticity and richness in flavor are truly to a whole other level. I crave this spot so often, it's one of my go-to spots!"

★★★★★ 4.6 (930) • $$

"First time ever eating here! I've had take out before that was delicious so I knew it was going to be great. We went for dinner around 7pm on a Sunday, we were seated right away at a round table. We had 6 people and it was a little tight but we made it work. We started with some naan, we choose the garlic and the cheese. Then we ordered a bunch of mains like chicken tikka masala, saag chicken, paneer tikka masala, tandoori chicken and tandoori shrimp. Everything came out quickly and was perfectly cooked and spiced. I would highly recommend checking this place out next time you're in the area!"

"From the moment you walk in ... it's an instant wow this is nice. The staff was nice and I thought it was really cute that they asked if you wanted a bindi. Like of course I wanted a bindi while eating Indian Cuisine. The service was nice, the food was delicious. My only thought was that I wish the dishes weee already serviced with rice but here everything is a la carte style. The dishes appear to be small in size but with a few selections a party of 6 was easily able to share."

Ghee Indian Kitchen

★★★★☆ 4.3 (822) • $$

"We chose Ghee Indian Kitchen to celebrate our 10th anniversary, and it turned out to be the perfect choice for an extraordinary evening. From the moment we entered, the atmosphere exuded charm and sophistication, creating a wonderful backdrop for our special occasion.Our dining experience kicked off with the Smoked Lamb Neck, a dish that left us speechless with its tender texture and rich, smoky flavor. The Green Papaya Salad provided a refreshing contrast, with its vibrant mix of flavors and textures that awakened our taste buds.The Crispy Broccoli was a delightful surprise, offering a crunchy exterior giving way to perfectly cooked florets, while the Vegetarian Dosa was a true work of art, filled with a delicious medley of vegetables and spices that danced on our palates.No Indian feast is complete without classics like Chana Masala, and Ghee Indian Kitchen certainly delivered. The hearty chickpea stew was bursting with aromatic spices, elevating it to a whole new level of deliciousness.And let's not forget the accompaniments - the Papadum and Chutney provided a delightful crunch and burst of flavor, while the Garlic Naan and Ghost Pepper Cheddar Naan were the perfect vehicles for savoring every last bit of sauce and curry.Throughout our meal, the service was impeccable, with attentive staff ensuring that our glasses were never empty and that each dish was presented with care and attention to detail.Ghee Indian Kitchen surpassed our expectations with its impeccable cuisine, inviting ambiance, and exceptional service. It's the kind of restaurant where every dish tells a story, and every bite leaves you craving more.

Ayesha Fine Dining - Midtown

★★★★☆ 4.3 (136) • $$

"Why would I drive all the way to Midtown for Ayesha when there is actually one closer to me? One word: Dosa. Dosa is a gigantic, thin and crispy crepe from South India. Most of the Indian restaurants here don't offer it, and a few times I found it on the menu only to get something disappointingly soggy, thick or bland... The Midtown location offers some South Indian specialties, and their dosa does not disappoint. I love every bite of it. And their garlic naan - it is the most garlicky naan I've ever tried, or, any garlic bread included. The naan is pillowy soft, and loaded with fresh minced garlic. If you love the stinky rose this one is for you. I am a bit disappointed that their menu takes the format of choice of sauce + choice of protein. As Cake Thai's mom once told me, the sauce is developed to accompany the type of meat and shouldn't be interchangeable. Imagine an Italian place offering alfredo chicken/beef/pork/salmon or a French place with beef/pork/chicken/fish/tofu bourguignon. You won't take it for an authentic place would you? That said, we did enjoy all the dishes we ordered, the service is very nice, and we had a lovely evening."

"Thoroughly enjoyed our dinner. Such a great addition to the Sunrise area. The restaurant used to be called Saalan but is now occupied by Maharaja Bistro. Piping hot fresh food and naan in a small but cozy setting. The Medium spice is spicy so beware. The garlic naan is addicting and the lamb Rogan Josh is yum! Definitely will be back and you should check them out too. Small business owners need love too."

Desi Darbar

"A true hidden gem! This place was delicious. At first I had thought I spent too much for what I got but three people ate from it & we were stuffed. The chicken byriani & the garlic cheese naan were so good and nothing like what my taste buds are used to! I will be back"

Ali's Roti Shop

★★★★☆ 4.4 (171) • $

"Came by for some Trinidadian food in a road trip in Florida. The shop is casual and located in a small strip mall. There's parking in the front and very ample parking in the back as well. The staff were extremely friendly and food came out lightening fast. We got two doubles which were a delicious mess of chickpeas and roti. They were generous with the filling and gave us a healthy splash of their hot chili sauce as well. The beef pie was good but not as differentiated and a bit skimpy on meat filling, but the doubles really stole the show. Interior has some seating but is mostly take and go. Prices are very affordable for the portion sizes."

Food 8/10 Service 9/10 Ambiance 9/10There's small seating in front of the stall. The papaddum in the thali was way over cooked and oily, but everything else was good."

Taj Mahal Indian Cuisine

★★★★☆ 4.3 (139)

"Highly impressed with all the dishes we tried. I expected good (because of the high Yelp rating) and I was right!We ordered some of our usual favourite dishes - Saag Paneer and Butter Chicken. We chose mild spice but I would say we could definitely go medium spice next time. Each restaurant have different spice levels (sometimes we order mild and it's really spicy, so we wanted to stay on the safe side) but we barely tasted any spice. I loved that both dishes were generous, came with basmati rice and the food was not oily. Many Indian dishes are flooded with oil/butter (which is understandable, no complaints) but I prefer less oil and it was perfect. You can still have delicious dish without the extra fat. So hands down this was amazing!The naan and samosas were also really good. Samosas were pretty spicy though, just a warning.We would definitely come back again to try other dishes, probably Chana Masala and Tikka Masala.Also have to note, the owner of the restaurant was very friendly and welcoming, even though no one came to check up on us during the meal and ask if everything is okay, if something else is needed. But it's okay, no complaints."

Block 40 Food Hall

★★★★☆ 4 (34) • $$

"I love seeing a historic building in its glory and the Mediterranean Revival designed Great Southern Hotel overlooking ArtsPark is looking its best with a new facade of striped canopies over the arched windows. The new Block 40 Food Hall now occupies the first floor of this historic building. The Great Southern Hotel was built by the founder of Hollywood, Joseph W. Young in 1924 and the construction workers who built the city stayed here. Through the years it was a popular vacation destination before closing in 1991. It was restored and reopened in 2021. Block 40 Food Hall is Hollywood's first food hall and it is operated by Society 8 Hospitality, which also runs Sistrunk Marketplace & Brewery in Fort Lauderdale, Park & Ocean, and Wild Thyme Oceanside Eatery in The Atlantic Hotel & Spa on Fort Lauderdale beach. Here you will find 10 dining stalls, a restaurant Loco Ocho, a large central bar, games like darts, and a sidewalk patio with a view of the park. Customers order food and drink by using a QR code like at Sistrunk Marketplace.Block 40 Food Hall vendors include Dalmoro's Fresh Pasta to Go, Vons Asia Kitchen, Catch Hollywood, Hangry Joe's, CHO:TU, Phastbreak Cheesesteaks, C.L.A.S.S. Burger, Donut Cream, and Hollywood Creamery. On the day I visited the whole food hall was watching the soccer match between Spain and England. Upcoming events include Biz to Biz Networking, Weekly Tap Takeover, and Live Music. I like the variety of food vendors offering different cuisine, drinks, and desserts. Downtown Hollywood needed a place like this where people can hang out and stop in for a drink or a bite to eat. This spacious and bright food hall fulfills a need in the community for a gathering place. It is great to see such an iconic Hollywood landmark filled with life again."

"Noticed this low key white food truck with Indian Cuisine on the side of the truck. It's on the corner of Biscayne and 79th so it's easy to miss but plenty of parking in that tiny lot. We just tried the samosa and it was really good! It had fresh bite to it and got a spicy kick."

Ashoka Indian Restaurant

★★★★★ 4.6 (25)

"I don't know how many reincarnations this particular spot has gone through. Before Ashoka it was Saffron, and before that Imlee, and I am pretty sure it was still another Indian restaurant before Imlee, which name I cannot recall. We went there for lunch. Their lunch menu has many choices, from vegetarian to lamb, at a very good value too. You can choose a smaller set, or the thali, which includes salad and dessert as well, prettily arranged on a tin tray. The samosa is excellent, crunch on the outside and on our first bite, steamy hot! It's great they are freshly fried instead of made ahead. The lunch portion doesn't have a lot of meat, but with the delicious sauce scooped over the rice, along with the naan and other food, it's not likely you will go hungry, and given the price, I think it's a fair value. Service is on point too."
