    Chicken tikka
    Nick F.

    Have walked by this place for years and decided to give it a try. Food was delicious and big portions. The chicken tikka came on a sizzling plater and was moist and seasoned well. The mushroom and garlic naan was a nice addition and the saag paneer spinach and cheese was on point. Very attentive staff as well. I'll be back for sure.

    This is an incredibly delicious Indian restaurant! Another plus is that it is considered a fine dining restaurant, which means nice ambiance and great service. I came here with my friends because we really wanted to try their dosas. Not only were we blown away by the dosa, but everything on the menu was absolute perfection. One of the greatest gems of Miami for sure. You cannot go wrong with any of the dishes here. I also love how they have pani puri, which I always search so far and wide for, and did not expect this restaurant to have. The garlic naan was heavy on the garlic, just the way I like it.

    Tandoor Chicken Salad
    Vanessa F.

    I came to Ayesha for lunch during the week and was pleasantly surprised! They have a great selection of generous lunch specials for $15-25. I wasn't extremely hungry so I ordered the Tandoori Chicken Salad. I love Indian cuisine, but rice dishes are my go-to dishes, so I wasn't sure what to expect with this. The presentation was beautiful. I wouldn't have thought to have tandoori chicken cold, but this was really good! LOTS of flavors which were all perfectly balanced into the salad. I cleaned the plate! Overall, the restaurant is very clean and very peaceful. The waitstaff is attentive and accommodating. Next time I'll be back to try one of the lunch combos.

    Interesting things happen when traditions dialogue---Richard Freeman aka my yoga teacher Be Healthy...Dead Prez harmony in my head So it is Christmas day in Miami. Everything is closed. Trader Joe's closed. Whole Foods closed.. Many restaurants closed. What to do? After several phone calls, calling around to some veg-friendly spots discovered that Ayesha Fine Dining Indian was open. In a word...yes! I had a very turbulent upbringing. You can read about it in book one of my Away in India memoir. I was a martial artist, surfer, and one of the few hip white kids on a mostly black basketball team in high school. Our high school was state champions in football and highschool basketball was intense. I was raised on hip hop, alternative music being a product of the 90s, and music helped me through. As Nietzsche said without music life would be a mistake. In 1998 at age 19 I was living in NYC on my own working construction, working security, teaching karate in Manhattan, and playing basketball in Harlem. I read an article on Kareem Abdul-Jabbar saying that he had a 20 year pro basketball career becoming the all time leading scorer in the NBA at the time thanks to martial arts and yoga. I already was a martial artist yet got into yoga. Stayed into yoga over the years yet wasn't until I was living in Los Angeles circa 2003 working a high paying, high stress security job where I was suicidally depressed yet was a straight edge aka sober living lifestyle so couldn't drink or drug away the pain so got into yoga every day aka daily practice and this saved my life. I met my teacher Richard Freeman at a workshop in Venice at Yoga Works run by Chuck and Maty. I eventually moved to Boulder to study with Richard and Mary and the Sangha there for over a decade and he suggested I go to India which changed my life. Interesting things do happen when traditions dialogue. Tibetan Buddhism was the result of the indigenous Bon tradition in Tibet and Indian yoga brought by Guru Rinpoche from India to Tibet. From my own experience of growing up with hip hop and getting into yoga at age 19 in Money Makin' Manhattan. I lived over three years in India over many Winters so Indian is like my second home so delighted to find an Indian restaurant open on Christmas day with vegan options to boot. Many clearly marked vegan options on the menu. Indian cuisine with South Indian to boot. I went with the masala dosa. It was huge. I loved the chutneys. A bit costly yet recommended. Friendly and attentive staff. I loved the ambiance with traditional Indian culture all over the walls and Bollywood videos on the television. One room for improvement would be to give the proper option of an actual hand held menu. I am analog in the digital world like Erykah Badhu and taking a photo of the QR code didn't work on my phone. Luckily the waiter gave a proper take out menu with old prices. Recommended for veg-friendly options albeit a bit costly which is the Miami norm it seems especially with inflation in these Modern Times like Bob Dylan. All in all recommended!

    Aloo goobi
    Sandy T.

    Ordered lunch here it was very convenient ordering online and then picking it up when it was ready. Picking it up was super quick. The restaurant was dark and not many were in there for lunch. I got the aloo goobi and the butter chicken, medium spicy. The flavor was good and spice was perfect. However there wasn't much cauliflower in the aloo. It was more potatoes and onions. The butter chicken I felt was soupy. There was so much sauce and not enough chicken ratio. The best thing that I got was the garlic naan. The naan was a nice big portion. It was soft and delicious.

    This is the best Indian food I've found in Miami. The food was absolutely delicious and the service was outstanding. Definitely recommend everyone to come try and I will be back!

    Lamb lunch platter with Rogan Josh + 2 vegetable sides (chick pea and lentil). Aloo Gobi + rice.

    Right in the heart of Midtown I didn't realize this Indian gem was here! The service was impeccable and the authenticity of the food was on POINT. There are tons of options and everything we got was AMAZING. (My boyfriend is vegan and they had a bunch of options for him too. ) I would highly recommend anybody to come here - we will definitely be coming back and making this a staple of ours! Side note the music and Bollywood videos were the finishing touch. Cannot wait to come back! Thank you Calvin!

The sauce was rich, creamy, and downright flirtatious -- the kind of dish that makes you rethink every bland chicken you've ever met. Could the spice have gone up a notch? Sure. But honestly, I was too busy dunking naan like it was an Olympic sport to care. Ah, the naan. Warm, soft, unapologetically garlicky -- the kind that ensures you won't be kissing anyone for at least 24 hours, but you'll die smiling. Slightly soggy? Maybe. But let's call it "emotionally tender," because it matched my mood when I realized how good it was. And the appetizers? Crisp, golden little parcels of joy that crackled louder than my willpower. Each bite made me want to stand up and start narrating like David Attenborough: "Here we see the majestic samosa in its natural habitat... gracefully disappearing into the human mouth." Arun's isn't just serving food -- it's serving edible happiness. Five stars for flavor, fun, and the garlic afterglow that follows you home like a fond memory.

It was about 2:30 PM Saturday afternoon. It was surprising that the restaurant was empty. As I was reading the menu in the window, a young woman asked if I would like to come in and read the menu. The restaurant is not large, but very nicely decorated. The young lady was part of the family owned restaurant and we had a very interesting conversation while I waited for my food. I ordered chicken tikka, mild, rosemary nan, and raita. The chicken was absolutely deliciously marinated in a variety of fresh spices and herbs, and tenderized by soaking in milk. It was prepared in a tandoori oven, at least it was under the 'tandoori' listing on menu. The flavor was wonderful and melted in my mouth. Everything was so good, even the fresh brewed tea. I can't wait to go back. The pricing is also very reasonable. My experience was even nicer as I got to converse with another family member about their business and Indian cuisine in general. I live in Fort Lauderdale, and probably won't be able to travel down as often as I would like, but I honestly highly recommend Swagat if you like Indian food!

I had a very long workday yesterday, so Larry S. offered to order food for me to pick up on my way home. Naturally, I said ,"Let's try Swagat!". He placed the order online. As I was driving to the restaurant, he followed up that there was a $5 online ordering fee and then someone from the restaurant repeatedly called to advise that they were out of one of the items we ordered. So, we did not start off on the right foot. It was unclear if there was parking (they are next to Tacos vs. Burritos and there is parking lot in between the two restaurants, but it's not clear if the parking is for one restaurant or the other); however, I was able to get a street spot right in front. The food was supposed to be ready at 6:15, and it was! Inside, there was only one table occupied and the door was locked, which was kind of odd. The proprietor came and unlocked it and advised the food would be ready in a few minutes - it was! He explained that they just set up online ordering and there was not supposed to be a charge for that, so he handed me the $5 back and apologized profusely! Say what?! Already I was liking the customer service here! We ordered the following: Lasuni Gobi - Indo - Chinese crispy cauliflower in a garlicky coating KFC - Kerala style fried chicken Kebab Tasting - assortment of kebabs Fish Curry - Goan style Two types of naan - butter and garlic Basmati rice Everything was fantastic! Super flavorful; we ordered it medium hot and could have gone a little hotter, but it's always best to be conservative to start as spicing is subjective. For me, the stand out was the fish curry and the fish kebab. The Gobi didn't travel well and was not crispy at all by the time I got it home. Larry really liked the fried chicken. The crisp stood up to the travel time! The dinner pricing is on the high side, but it was totally worth it as the food was not at all greasy or heavy, and the spicing was delicate and nuanced. My only complaint was that the portion sizes were a little small. For a $120 order, it would have been nice to have leftovers. It looks like they have a good lunch special, plus, they have a $60 tasting menu that looks fire, so we are definitely going back! In all, I thought the food and the customer service were really fantastic and I will always welcome another Indian option!
