I usually get takeout from Roti, but we decided to dine in today. First, let me say that the food…read moreat Roti never misses. I had the Lamb Curry with Rice and Garlic Naan. I swear they're adding something addictive in their food because I always plan my next trip to Roti WHILE eating my current meal. The restaurant is cute. They've done a great job renovating the place. It's quite cozy with a combination of booths and tables. They have a buffet for lunch, so I plan to make that my next visit. I was shocked how busy it was. Their to-go orders are non-stop. Even though there were few patrons dining in, the rotation of online order pick ups was unbelievable. This is why the kitchen was fully staffed and the servers were widdled down to one. Don't go in there and expect stellar service. The waiter answers phones, runs food, and takes orders. He's a real life Superman, but he has split focus. Because the kitchen is so fast, you don't have time to feel neglected. Overall, I'm still a super fan. I'll probably stick to takeout, but it's my go-to spot while in Riverview. Highly recommend you give it a go.

The appetizer arrived after I had finished my meal. They offered to take 10% off the bill. Overall the restaurant was clean. The bar that is included in the name is not open. Instead it is being used as storage.

Copper Indian Cuisine in Westchase was an excellent find…read more The restaurant is beautifully decorated -- there's a small bar when you first walk in, but the back dining area is really elegant, cozy, and thoughtfully designed. It immediately feels like a great place to sit down and enjoy a relaxed meal. Service was excellent. Our server, Dominic, was very attentive and gave helpful recommendations throughout the meal. Everything we ordered was delicious. The flavors were bold and well balanced, and the medium spice level was perfect -- flavorful with just the right amount of heat without being overwhelming. I also asked for extra yogurt sauce just in case things got spicy, and that ended up being the perfect cooling addition. What we ordered: * Taj Mahal Premium Lager -- crisp, light, and refreshing. A great pairing with the spices in the meal. * Samosa Chaat -- we were told this is a traditional Indian street food. It consisted of vegetable samosas chopped up and topped with yogurt sauce, chutneys, and special spices, creating a great balance of creamy, tangy, and savory flavors. * Garlic Naan -- warm, soft, and perfectly garlicky. * Tandoori Platter -- a generous assortment of tandoori chicken, lamb chops, and shrimp, cooked in the tandoor with beautiful smoky flavor and spices. The platter was served with basmati rice and sauces on the side, which complemented the meats perfectly. Most of the meal was gluten-free, with the exception of the naan and the samosa chaat appetizer. I do wish they offered gluten-free naan or samosas, which would make an already great menu even more accessible. They also offer weekday and weekend happy hours (I included a photo of the menu for anyone interested). We will definitely be back. This will easily become our go-to Indian restaurant in the area.

Hands down the best Indian food I have ever had. My review in summation is that this is a must try…read more We ended ordering one of the vegetarian prefix brunch menus and it was fantastic. We also did chicken 65, and a vegetable curry. The prefix menu could not have the spice level adjusted however I found it tolerable (I have a reasonably high spice tolerance) and the other items we asked for mild and they were perfect. The service was top notch. Extremely friendly and personable staff, we felt welcome from the beginning. We also had the chef come and check on us and the part that stood out to me is that everyone working here was happy and proud of their food. The interior of the restaurant is very nice. I loved the setup and the lighting. It was perfect for a romantic evening and for enjoying food with friends. I will absolutely come back. This is now one of my favorite restaurants in Tampa. The staff and excellent food made this an experience I will remember.

The Indian food here? Perfectly spiced. Every dish was a flavor party that had me saying "one more…read morebite" until the plate was empty. And Angelica, the queen of service: checked in with the perfect timing and always with a warm, genuine smile and a quick laugh that made the whole table feel like old friends. Pleasant doesn't even cover it; she's pure sunshine with impeccable radar for whatever you need before you even need it. Angelica, you turned great food into an unforgettable vibe. You're an absolute star! 10/10, requesting her section forever.

It's not your traditional Indian restaurant. They do have a different twist to it a bit. Overall it…read morewas a nice place and the service was great! The food was good and is served fresh and they are quick with it. Certain dishes do take a little longer to make but they will clarify that with you from the beginning. The butter chicken and naan were really good and I forgot the name of the platter but there was a variety of different things to try in it which was really nice. I do think they should clarify that the water bottles on the table are different prices/you have to pay for them (there were 2 different water bottles). Personally, if they can't serve water/only serve water bottle due to city restrictions, I don't think it should be charged. But also it could be served cold vs room temperature.

Rasoi Indian Cuisine has to be one of the best authentic Indian restaurants in the Tampa area…read more Service has always been friendly and professional with indoor and outdoor seating.

This is a beautiful space located in Ybor. Sadly it was raining, but the outside patio will be lovely to visit when the weather is nice. The inside is charming and decorated nicely. We shared the chicken Tikka Masala and chicken saag with garlic naan (of course!). Everything was delicious and we enjoyed the Taj Mahal beer and Rupee IPA with our meal. I definitely recommend getting an Indian beer with dinner! Our server was very friendly and took good care of us - honestly all the staff was really nice. We didn't feel rushed and really were able to enjoy our dinner and conversations before the check came. This will definitely be our local go to for Indian food. The counter was constantly full for to go orders, so we will also plan to order take out in the future too!

Heartbreaking food shortages for wedding catering and poor management - Proceed with caution…read more We chose Flames Indian Cuisine for our multi-day Indian wedding based on the owner's personal assurance that because the restaurant was local, they could not run out of food. Unfortunately, the reality was a bride and groom's worst nightmare. The planning process was incredibly stressful. It took weeks to get a finalized menu or contract, and we weren't even able to settle the payment until the week before the event. Communication was consistently delayed. Despite paying for a 200-person guest count and having fewer guests than contracted, we ran out of food at nearly every event. This was witnessed by our guests, the venue staff, and our wedding planner. When we confronted the owner, he blamed our guests for "eating too much" rather than taking responsibility for under-preparing. He promised an internal investigation and a resolution within a month. It has now been three months, and despite numerous follow-ups, he has completely ignored our attempts to resolve this amicably. In Indian weddings, food is a pillar of the celebration. To have our guests waiting 10+ minutes for refills that never came was embarrassing and a clear breach of our contract. I would strongly advise any couple to look elsewhere if you want a caterer who is professional and honors their commitments.

The water tasted very metallic and like straight unfiltered tap water. Our food was very bland - my boyfriend ordered Chicken Tikka Masala (their namesake) and it tasted like campbell's tomato soup.
