Nice that they use iPads for their menu so you get color pictures and a description of each dish. As usual, we over ordered. But as we see it... Now we have leftovers for another meal. The Butter Chicken was great as so was the Saag. We also like the Biryani with shrimp and veggies. That also comes with a minty sauce. Overall, another delicious meal.

Authentic, rich with flavor, large portions, this is worth the drive!!!! I loved the spices and curry used, added such flavor! Our server was EXCELLENT.

He continued to provide OUTSTANDING service and between him & the food I Am coming back!!!!

Spicy and savory bone-in chicken chunks to really get your palate ready for an excellent meal. The lamb vindaloo was quite nice, perfectly spicy and with a proper amount of lamb. The chicken biryani flavors were absolutely on point and they do not skimp on the portions either. Overall, this may be my new go-to spot as it's only 10 minutes away and packs a serious flavor bomb. Also make sure to get their garlic naan, because who doesn't like garlic naan?!

Got butter chicken, chick peas and rice. Delicious. Clean restaurant and friendly staff. Recommend!read more

I love to get the 3 taco special but on the Naan bread- I love the chicken Tikka and tomato curry, with some cheese and pico salsa. You can make bowls,tacos.

Parking was effortlessly convenient with ample space available. The decor is wonderfully stylish, infusing the spotless environment with rich, traditional Indian aesthetic touches that create a serene and refined atmosphere perfect for a relaxing Saturday meal. I was particularly impressed by their thoughtful seating layout, which offers comfortably separated sections tailored for both families and solo diners.Additionally, I chose Mango lassi as my drink The hospitality was top-tier from start to finish gracious, attentive, and warmly welcoming throughout. Despite it being a Saturday, the restaurant maintained a serene, uncrowded ambiance while offering an extraordinary variety of fresh, piping hot options. For my main course, I selected the Chicken Tikka Masala served alongside fragrant white rice. When it arrived, it proved to be an absolute culinary triumph exceptionally fresh, decadent, and executed with exquisite flavor balance. Between the immaculate cleanliness, peaceful aesthetic, impeccable service, and magnificent cuisine, this hidden gem earns absolute full marks from me. A thoroughly marvelous dining experience I shall most certainly be returning

We had originally booked a table outside on their patio but the rain had other plans for us. We were told a new table inside would be about an hour and a half over the phone so we waited until then and came. It was worth it! The restaurant is small, cozy, and intimate. We started with drinks and they were fresh and light. For apps we got the mesa wings and Batata vada. I loved both! Such great flavors. For mains, we got the the shrimp and grits and mesa chicken curry. Again - flavors were incredible. For the dessert, we got the banana pudding semifreddo - and I was obsessed! Such a delcious sweet treat. Would love to come back and sit on the patio when the weather starts to cool down!

The food is made to order, and they even bring out a small sample first to make sure the spice level is just right, which felt thoughtful and very personal. The location is fantastic right across from the castle in the heart of Old St. Augustine. Before sitting down to eat, we walked around and checked out the Southern Lights Candle Shop nearby and picked up a few things. It's a very nice shop and highly recommended if you're in the area. We had the butter chicken, spinach chicken, and lamb with rice and naan (bread), and everything was absolutely delicious. The setting is a super cute outdoor garden with a relaxed, cozy vibe. They have fans for warmer days and heat lamps when it's cooler, making it comfortable year-round. The drink selection is solid as well. I had two Indian Rupee beers the IPA and the lager and both tasted amazing. The lager was my favorite, but I'd definitely recommend trying both. My wife really enjoyed the wine and sangria; the red sangria was her favorite, though all three were excellent. Great food, warm hospitality, an awesome atmosphere, and a prime location in Old St. Augustine definitely a place worth checking out.

My first time trying this place and so happy I did…read more I ordered Chicken Tikka Masala to go and was impressed by how friendly the staff was. The restaurant is clean and comfortable. I got my piping hot food home and was knocked out by how great it smelled. Rich color, nice flavor and a solid portion. The chicken was still moist and juicy, the sauce was very rich and flavorful. I ordered medium heat, but there was zero spice. Not a bad thing, I still enjoyed it. Rice was included, which is a plus. There was enough food here for two big, full bowls. I'll definitely eat here again.

Then we ordered their daal makhani, spice special chicken curry, Bhindi masala and chicken Manchurian. Bhindi wasn't very fresh. It was hard to chew at times. Daal makhani was super spicy. Indian spicy at level 7 was a bit too spicy. I only liked their spice special chicken curry the most. Then for dessert, we got the Gulab Jamun and ras malai. Overall I have had better India food.

That's when we found 5th Element in the Town Center.

We both at all of the to-go order. We could have saved half for another meal but we were so hungry and it was so good that we just devoured it all. It was so good. He also got a Chikoo Shake (shake made with chikoo fruit) and while he said it was good, he had been hoping it was more like a milkshake). The prices are pretty reasonable so I think we found a good spot when the need hits us.

Take note there are two 5th Element spots within 10 minutes of each other. I started with one of their bottled Indian lagers. It wasn't too bad, although I wish they had draft options for the Indian beer. All the food was ordered for me prior to arrival so I'm a little lost on names of everything. We had Paneer Pakora (fried cottage cheese which was better than I had expected), buttered Naan bread, lentils and I believe vegetable biryani. It was all delicious! However, best part of the meal was the mango ice cream machine. That will make you comeback. It's house made. Our server was excellent. Highly recommend this spot! I'll be back if I'm in Jax again.

I decided to grab one of the menus. I took a look and everything sounded appetizing. It was also a number of different dishes I hadn't seen on any other Indian restaurant menu. I decided to give them a try. I ordered take out. When I went in to pick up my food I was delighted by the decor. It's fun. The person who brought out my order was friendly. My party got several items on the menu: Malai Kofta, an assortment of breads and desserts, and the Chicken 65 Biryani. Everything was fantastic. The following week I saw that Karma was on TooGoodToGo as well. I couldn't pass up Karma suprise. The food was once again fantastic. The only thing I would change about the TooGoodToGo order would've been a little more variety in the dishes. What I got was great though. This place should be full whenever they are open. So good! I am looking forward to going back.

We get a table and start to order we think our server couldn't hear us maybe cause I think we got different things then we ordered but hey we just ate them, lol! Everything we tried was very good, but definitely seemed like some miscommunication with our server, like we asked for mild on a dish and it came out so spicy. Despite that we ate everything and enjoyed, standout dish for me was the mushroom Nan it was SO delicious! Piping hot fresh with cheese and mushrooms in it, with butter all over!
