Wonderful food and service! The location is in a glamorized strip mall, and was initially hard to find (probably my problem because I am from CA and was just visiting). Once there though, the place is very classy with a tasteful and warm ambience (minus the bar-like flat panel tv blaring indian music videos). The food was phenomenal! Loved the flavors, and loved the service. Should I ever visit Miami again, I'll make sure to go again. read more

This place was the bomb.com! It was recommended from a friend that lives on the Key. And when I saw foreign exchange students from India shaking the owners hand and thanking him for a great meal - I knew it was going to be great. The owner and waiters were so friendly and kind and the food tasted delicious! This will now be one of my go-to stops on the Key along with Sir Pizza. read more

Totally mediocre. :( I ordered samosas that were decent, and they came with some nice tamarind (?) dipping sauce. The papadums were good too. But the navratan korma I ordered was pretty bland. I wanted a creamy flavor explosion like most Indian food. It just wasn't there. Sad day. Service is good. The decor is nice. A bit pricey. The meat dishes might be better. Miami just can't do veggie. Even at Indian restaurants. read more

The food is better at the Key Bicayne location than the one in Miami, although they are not consistent. No matter how mild we request the food, it always comes too spicy. Friendly service. Good food. read more

Ayesha's has to be the best Indian Restaurant in Miami, hands down. The food is really authentic and extremely delicious; service is fast and friendly. The restaurant is Key Biscayne, which made our dinning experience seem like my husband and I were on vacation. We can't wait to go back! read more

having lived in London and NYC, where good Indian food is abundant, I am a bit picky. I tried Ayesha recently. The service is very good, very nice people. It is a little pricey, or I would have sampled more dishes, but what I had was good. Not over the top fantastic, but quite good. One of my favorite things about Indian food is the condiments, and the onion chutney was really good, so was the green sauce, never sure what it is. The brown sweet sauce was missing. Good naan bread. I am still on the perfect Indian food quest in Miami though. My next try will be Darbar in Coconut Grove. I remember the day when getting an Indian in both London and NY meant spending very little money and getting a ton of food. Seems those days are over, or at least in Miami. read more

Both dine in and carry out this place never disappoints! My go to for Indian! Sooooo delicious

Best Indian in Miami. There may be little competition but their quality leads people to order delivery from south beach to Kendall. Try their naan bread selections, tika massala and speak to the friendly founder who is glad to tell you about his diverse country of origin. read more

Service was amazing! Mike was very attentive to making us enjoy the experience. I enjoyed the meal, the wine, and the company. My friend mentioned wanting to enjoy something spicy and Mike did his best to oblige but he couldn't beat the master and nothing was spicy enough for her. We will definitely be back. read more

After 3 days got taste some really good food here. Bombay aloo and samosa were great. A must to try restaurant in miami. They take some time as they make fresh, so be patient. Yummyyyyy. read more

We live nearby and usually get takeout. Wonder how this great spot came to be located in a community that does not have a big indian population. I guess the diverse nationalities found here have more cosmopolitan tastes. Our few sampling so far have been great. It's nice to have an alternative to pizza or Chinese for a quick takeout dinner. The place is so small, I wonder how they can get enough covers each night to pay the rent. read more

The food was great - I've eaten at a lot of Indian restaurants and this one hits the note with spice level and flavor profiles. What detracted from a full 5 stars was their inability to refill water or get checks in a timely manner. It wasn't just my table that was having this issue. I'll be back for sure - next time I'll just bring my own dasani bottle ;) read more

I came here with some friends, food have so many flavors and taste is excellent. With the high prices compare to the poor service and small food quantity, I only give 3 stars read more

Ayesha Saffron - Indian Near Me - Key Biscayne, Florida

This places never ceases to provide good, authentic Indian cuisine. The chicken korma is delicious, accompanied by the various vegetable curries. The Nan bread is good but the new price is unreasonable. A small detail thing that can spoil a place. read more

Delicious paneer tikka masala! Sweet employees and fast service! Thank you for a tasty meal!

Enjoyed sitting outside, very casual, service was very good, food was fresh and tasty. I would go back. read more

Friday March 27 2015 My fiancé saw this place in a magazine (don't know which one) and we decided to try it. Exactly what the reviews say is exactly how it is. The food is delicious, the staff is extremely friendly, and the food takes forever to come out!! As an appetizer we had vegetable samosas, which the staff messed up a few times but they apologized and corrected the issue quickly. For dinner, I had the chicken korma and my lady had the chicken tikka masala. Both were very good The place is very small so i strongly recommend that you make reservations before you decide to drive out to the Key and potentially wait a while for a table. We got there at 8pm and from all the waiting for our food and then finally getting our food and practically throwing the check at the waiter to finally pay and leave, we left at 10pm. Also, i suggest you check to see if there are any events going on down in the tennis courts because the traffic to leave was crazy. At 10pm at night, it took 40 minutes to get out of the key Food = 10 out of 10 Staff = 10 out of 10 Kitchen speed = 5 of out 10 read more

The food here is very good, depending on what you are ordering. The samosas very okay, but the Paneer Tikka Masala, was amazing. So was the Nan. However, I felt that the place was tad bit expensive, especially for the portions, the food was served in. Verdict: Pricey, but good. read more

This is a small restaurant located in a strip mall and the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The signage is slightly obscured by two large palm trees so keep your eyes open looking for them, it's worth the effort. I am not a first-time Indian food person, so I knew what I was looking at and having sampled numerous Indian foods in the USA and Europe, this has to be one of my favorites. The food was delicious, very creamy and satisfying. All round a fantastic meal for my wife and I who were celebrating our wedding anniversary. If you have not tried Indian food before, you need to stop by and try this place. read more

We liked it a lot. My gal was apprehensive about trying an Indian restaurant with all the wonderful restaurants there on Key Biscayne, but when the food arrived she was glad we tried it. Don't get me wrong, there are other restaurants to visit on Key Biscayne, but for something different Ayesha Saffron is perfect. read more

Absolutely authentic Indian with great and newly conceived traditionals. The tomato soup was amazing and rich. The Korma was simply delicious and the service was impeccable. We asked for mild of everything and they accommodated appropriately which doesn't always happen. The location I shops if the stores are open for walking around in the mall with plenty of shopping. Good for kids running around and great frozen yogurt place diagonally across. We live here and it's worth the trip over the bridge to come here. read more

It has been a while since I had Indian food so was craving for Indian food... I found this place through Yelp and it was a good decision. The service was amazing and the food was tasty. I ordered for veggie biriyani and it was delicious. It's one of the best I have had so far in Florida .. would definitely recommend everyone to try if you are interested in having Indian food. read more

The food and service at Ayesha is on point. We were quickly seated and attended to once seated. The food was pricey but the restaurant is located on Key Biscayne so the price was not a shocker. The restaurant didn't require a reservation but n the weekend It is a good idea to call ahead. Indian food is hard to find in Miami-Dade county but Ayesha is one of the good places to get it. read more

Service is too slow.Had to wait for a water about 15 minute. Food is also not that good in addition waiting time after ordering food is killing. read more

The food was outstanding! Delicious! Though we waited for 20 minutes before we could order the food and drinks, the guy apologised and offered us free appetizer, delicious bread and dessert. Very good choice of wine. read more

This is really good. Surprisingly good. Order the vindaloo. Have tried a lot of the menu and haven't had anything bad yet. Is a little pricy, but you are on key Biscayne so that is to be expected. Service was friendly and fast. read more

If you want real--high quality--Indian food, then this is the place for you. This restaurant is truly a gem. I highly recommend it.

My fiancé and I were visiting family in Key Biscayne, and decided to try something new. So glad we did! By far the best, most authentic Indian food I have found in South Florida! read more

Absolutely splendid - yet unassuming - Indian restaurant. Wonderful outdoor seating area and service is always incredibly pleasant. Dishes are wonderful, with perfect spices yet modest sauce. Some of the most delicious Indian food I've had. Could not recommend Ayesha any more highly - an absolute treasure. read more

We ate here as a party of four on a Friday night and were seated right away. Indian food is all too rare in Miami, but this place was good! The atmosphere is intimate and cozy, and the food was delicious. We started with the chicken and vegetable samosas, which were great. Then we had the chicken tikka masala, lamb curry, and aloo gobi with a side of garlic naan. Everything was delicious and flavorful. read more

WOW! I am so excited that Ayesha came to the island!! Key Biscayne is an amazing place to live but it definitely is laking in culinary diversity. Ayesha just opened about 3 weeks ago, and after hearing rave reviews, I decided to try it tonight with my friend. The restaurant has indoor and outdoor seating, so we decided to sit outdoors. The menu is the perfect size. Many times when I eat Indian food in Coral Gables, I am really overwhelmed by the menu . This menu has everything from Samosas to Biryani to Naan to Tandoor, but it is manageable for the novice Indian food eater. My friend and I started with the Vegetable Samosas. These were fantastic. Then we split the Navrattan Sahi korma, Shrimp with Apna Curry Sauce, and Onion Naan. We were worried that we ordered too much, but this turned out to be the perfect amount of food. The korma was fantastic-- lots of veggies like broccoli, peas, carrots, etc in a delicious sauce. The shrimp were also amazing. The dish came with 8 jumbo shrimp which was perfect for my friend and I. The sauce was spicy- but not too spicy. The onion naan was out of this world. Dipping it in the 2 different sauces was the best. The dishes also came with rice (a lot of Indian restaurants make you order rice, so this was a nice change). The service was perfect. Our waiter was able to give us knowledgeable advice on what to order. A nice touch was when the manager came out to ask us how we were doing. He told us that the next time he would let us try Indian wine (we were already drinking wine). I did not even know that existed! Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my experience at Ayesha. The prices were good for Key Biscayne (for our meal + 2 glasses of wine, the bill came out to $58). The service was good, and the food was great! I am so happy that Ayesha came to the neighborhood. I definitely will be back. (They said they were going to be starting delivery as well!) read more

I love Indian food and Ayesha delivers great Indian. It's situated in a small mall in Key Biscayne with plenty of parking. The service was very good, however, I don't like when the waiters or owners think they should order for you because you are not Indian and because of this I deduct a star. The menu had my usual favorites like tandoori, tikka, raita, and samosas. Everything we had was delicious and the portions were generous. I liked that you could also choose any meat with your favorite curry and desired heat. The rice was heavenly since it wasn't the standard white rice but was infused with a hint of saffron. read more

The best Indian restaurant in MIami. This place is really good. The food is tasty and high quality. The location and ambience is nice. There is outside seating which is fantastic in the Miami winter. The papadums with onion relish is a nice start. The lettuce wraps with tandoori chicken are a fantastic appetizer and not found elsewhere. The cury dishes are varied but superb. The Chicken Tikka Masala is definitely one of the best. The lamb Rogan Josh is great. I also love many of their vegetarian dishes like the mashed eggplant curry. read more

Food on the key is limited and it always exciting to find a diamond in the ruff. The food here is delicious. The flavor of every dish is rich and satisfying. The staff is friendly and ready to suggest dishes to new comers. We had Shawn as a server three times now and he is always a great part of the experience. The place is very clean and I would recomend to anyone visting or living on the key. read more

Ayesha Saffron - Indian Near Me - Key Biscayne, Florida

See all

I am by no means an expert on Indian food, but I'll still give my opinion. I wasn't in the best mood once I got there because I was looking for a cheap dinner with friends after going to a bar and I went there with my friend telling me most meals are $12. Not true. The price isn't too crazy. Most entrees with any meat are close to $20. I liked the atmosphere even though it feels a little cramped inside. The service was a little slow considering how few people were in the restaurant that night. The food was great, but the portions were a little small for my liking. I really wanted leftovers for lunch the next day, but no such luck. Overall a good experience, even though I didn't want to spend as much money as I did. read more

Excellent Indian Food. Been here many times and never disappoints. The traditional tikka masala is always good but you should adventure and try outside the box. We had an eggplant veggie dish entree. It was the best yet I've had here. Too bad the service wasn't that great but the food makes up for it. The decor is nothing special compared to how good the food is actually. But you are in Key Biscayne.... Will keep coming when in the mood for Indian food read more

This is a small restaurant with good food, I love the chicken tiki masala and the Rice pudding, but most of all the service was great

Sad that the one authentic Indian restaurant in Miami has the WORST service I've ever experienced. Besides the servers ignoring the request to fill the glass of water over five times; I had two miscellaneous items fall from the ceiling while waiting the hour and 15 minutes for the food to come to the table. Don't waste your time, or better yet, don't waste theirs ( as I feel like I did) read more

I've been on a quest to try more restaurants off the beach. Last week one of my best gf and I took a drive to Key Biscayne for a change. Ayesha was such a pleasant surprise. We arrived early in the evening and were immediately greeted warmly. The restaurant is somewhat small while very comfortable. There was a mellow, relaxed vibe which was exactly what were in search of. Gail started with Spinach Samosas and Garlic Naan. She loved the samosas and also enjoyed the naan though she said it was a bit too buttery. She was hoping to order Spinach Masala which isn't on the menu. Our server was more than happy to have the kitchen prepare her dish. Nice. I ordered Eggplant Bharta. Our meals arrived quickly and were delicious. Fresh and really flavorful. We ate way past the point of full because everything was fantastic! When I asked for boxes to wrap our extras, I was shocked and impressed that we were given fresh rice to bring home along with our leftover food! Great food and excellent service. I'll be sure to return to Ayesha with Mikie and Baby Rock Star! read more

This is probably the best Indian food I've had in Miami. Once again that is not saying much. Food is good with a mix of all your favorite dishes such as the butter chicken. The naan is spot on as well. The downside. The portions are very small and the prices range from $12-19. That seems to be typical for Indian food in Miami but oh well :/ The service was mediocre but I did like the decor. They have tables inside and outside, and despite being in a strip mall, it somehow still seemed classy. I'd come back again, but the price makes me stay away unless I'm really craving Indian. read more
