    I love Indian food but this place just didn't hit the mark. Came in on Halloween so the restaurant was empty. Somosas were very small and lacked filling. Saag tasted bitter, not sure how to describe it but the flavor was not enjoyable. Lamb chops were over cooked and had barely any seasoning. Portion was also very small, only 3 lamb chops. Garlic naan had barely any ghee, cilantro and garlic. It was dry. Toondori chicken was probably the most disappointing item. Although it was tender and cooked good, the flavor was not ur typical Toondori flavor and it had a fishy taste to it? Idk it was strange. Got the kulfi for dessert, which was in the form of a ice cream pop covered in white chocolate. The kulfi didn't taste like I'm used to, didn't have the cardamom or saffron flavor that authentic kulfi has. Honestly it just tasted like normal ice cream. The white chocolate covering didn't pair well with it. It's a cool concept to do a fusion Indian cuisine but it is not executed well. I almost feel as though they should stick to authentic Indian recipes instead of adding fusion flairs that don't complement the food.

    I was so excited to try this place, my fiancé has been suggesting we go for a while. The atmosphere is great and the restaurant is very clean, open, and inviting. The service is phenomenal- the entire staff is super attentive and checked in on us regularly. Rossy was our waitress and she was beyond great. We ordered the tamarind margarita and the 21 spices drink, the 21 spices was super flavorful. The food was really tasty, we ordered the lamb Biryani and the chicken tikka, both were great. I wish the food had more heat, we ordered a spicy level 4 but it felt like a 2ish. Would def come back.

    The best Indian cuisine ever. No questions! So amazing, the service was amazing the food was amazing the ambiance was amazing! Everything was 11000000101000/10 and beyond! Get the Chicken Tandoori whatever u do. It's the best dish, no matter how good everything else sounds.

    Another great dinner at 21 spices! Despite only a few tables being occupied the service was a bit slow. We got the Nawaabi Paneer Tikka as an app and for the entrees we got Chicken Tikka Masala and the Goan Gosht Vindaloo which literally melted in my mouth - it was so spicy and good.

    Looking forward to chef Asif's butter chicken & Naan tonight

    Best Indian cuisine in Naples imo. The butter chicken is unparalleled, try the garlic Naan too

    21 Spices never disappoints! Our third visit, it continues to be our number one spot for Indian cuisine. The service is always welcoming and a friendly experience and ambiance. This evening we also had the opportunity to meet Chef Asif. He made time to walk around the restaurant and asked how we enjoyed our meal. We started with cocktails, both the mojito as well as the manager's special were both refreshing. The appetizers were delicious especially the sauces that accompanied the Nawaabi Paneer Tikka. The Spicy Tomato Soup was very flavorful. The entrées included the Chicken Khorma as well as the Lucknowi Grouper both amazing! We ended our meal with the mango cheesecake, a true rich mango flavor. When in Naples this should be on your list of restaurants to choose.

    Started off with some thin crackers with amazing dipping sauces. Moved to the scallops which were cooked perfectly and in a sauce we pretty much licked clean off the platter. I had the butter chicken because it's one of my favorite Indian dishes. My dining partners had some other lamb and chicken dishes which were wonderful. They give a big serving of the entrees. Naan bread was nice and buttery. Held up well as a leftover as well. Good service. Inside of the restaurant could use some updating. Some ripped leather on the booths and just maybe a face lift of the furniture is needed. Enjoyed our dinner!

    Excellent food, ambiance and service. This is a must visit restaurant for anyone visiting Naples. Menu is fusion between Hyderabadi food and Western menu but everything was super delicious from Chicken to Biryani to Palak to Chai.

    Half of the Menu is on this table

    Wow!! The goat was literally the best of all the dishes followed by the butter chicken!!! I have never had goat and was terrified to try it until my friend advised me of how wonderful it was! So I held my breath and took a bite! Wow, an explosion of flavors in my mouth!! Extremely tasty, like butter and a hint of spice. It definitely tantalized my tastebuds. The atmosphere and colors are beautiful and they have this wonderful cinnamon peanut butter whiskey that takes like you are drinking a candy bar! It's definitely a must try! Not to mention the chef beat the famous chef Bobby Flay in the kitchen! It's definitely an experience! Enjoy it! Makes for a great first date, just disregard it in a shopping plaza and walk into a taste of India!

    Ordered and brought home. Not spicy at all. Ordered three dishes. Only came with two bowls of rice and one single naan. It was honestly very bland. I had to add a ton of hot sauce.

    What hours for buffet, if you have one?

    When I dined there, they did not have a buffet, but the food was spectacular. The service was great and the entire environment was really very nice. I highly recommend it.

    Is there a dress code?

    Not really, but what I've seen in the evenings is business casual.

    Do you have outdoor dining?

    Yes we do have an outdoor patio

    Is your meat halal?

    Yes it is

    If you just want to have a relaxing drink at the bar or have a casual dinner with good wines,…read moreRebecca's has wonderful options for you and your friends. For Wine and Food lovers, Rebecca's is a market, neighborhood bar, and a restaurant that offers an enjoyable experience for reasonable prices. We never realized the extent of what Rebecca's had to offer until we joined their wine club. We had always enjoyed 360 market when it was on the riverside, but Rebecca's offer so much more. We have been to a couple of their Experiences where you enjoy a theme wine tasting accompanied by a small food pairing. It was actually after one of the "Experiences" that we decided to join their wine club. Membership is worth the $ with the bimonthly free tastings, as well as any of the 2 per week Experiences you can luckily get into. Downside of membership is space is limited for the Experiences so we have been waitlisted many times. WINEs - Let's face it; you go to Rebecca's because of their nicely curated wines section for $3.60 above wholesale prices. With the wine club, you get to be able to sample many different wines from different countries/regions and varietals you wouldn't have otherwise tried. The pours for the bi-monthly wine tastings are also very generous, so well worth the money. FOOD/RESTAURANT - If not being a wine member, we would not have appreciated how good the food really is. We had occasionally visited Rebecca's for happy hour previously without being members. Since joining, we have tried many of their food items and found them delicious. The pizzas are surprisingly very very good. We love the pepperoni pizza (The Red). The cheese board is varied and you can tailor to your taste. Their happy house special is limited offering of steak and unlimited frites is very tasty. The appetizers are all great. Too many food options to mention them all. Ambiance/Service - the vibe here is comfortable with a hint of upscale elegance, without being haughty. Inside there is the long bar, high top tables, as well as regular tables. Many areas for outdoor seating. The owner can be seen walking around the restaurant saying hello to the customers. The restaurant manager often comes to tables to make sure everything is OK. All the servers have been attentive and know the menu. During season, It can get pretty busy, and parking can get be an issue.

    First off, our server was amazing. Loved her honesty and professional candor. Absolutely zero…read morecomplaints. Ambiance, eh. You either deal with inside noise from non-acoustic walls and ceilings,or, sitting outside along an extremely busy Bayshore Ave. Food...if I wanted food truck meals, I would have gone across the street to Celebration Park. Big fat F. Total bill for 2 with tip, $165.00. Never again.
