Tried the butter chicken and it was superb, not too spicy but full of flavor. Also, the simosas were crisp and cooked perfectly.

Went this past week. This place is in a plaza and appears like a typical takeout place (similar to many Chinese takeouts). The menu is great here and those working as well as customers are very helpful in choosing food to try if you have not typically ordered Indian food outside of tika masala or butter chicken. The food was wonderful and portions are a good value. I highly recommend it here if looking for takeout. read more

Takeout only. Good service. This is the only place with authentic South Indian food, which is different from North Indian. Beef curry reminds me of my parents curry. Beef cutlets are delicious. The yogurt curry needs to be more sour/tart. read more

We love Martin's. Try anything on the menu - it's all fantastic. Carry out only. Nice inside but no eating at the restaurant. Order ahead and it will be ready within 30 minutes. Friendly and helpful staff. All of this in SEFFNER! read more

So sweet. They even gave us snacks while we waited for our food. Also very affordable and you can edit the spice level.

This is a restaurant where you would want to order dishes from the southern Indian state of Kerala. The only place in Tampa Bay specializing in cuisine from that Indian region. They've got the typical northern Indian food as well. The food is awesome and service is sincere. It's mainly a take out restaurant with sparse in-dining space. read more

Tried them today, got Paneer Tikka Masala. I thought it was very tasty and a good portion for the price. There is nowhere to sit, you have to get it to-go. The rice had some exotic herbs in it which was great. My one problem (and reason I won't return) is that some nasty oil is used in the rice. I avoid seed oils such as canola (the worst), soybean oil, corn oil, etc). They aren't good for us at all. I had to throw the rice away. Just steam the rice and don't include nasty oil and I'd be a regular customer. read more

Average food, very long wait, takeout only. Came on a Friday afternoon for lunch. It's a small place, no tables, they offer takeout only. We got 3 dishes, I got the chicken tikka masala and seems they used more cream, less tomato in their recipe so it tastes a bit different from other places, it wasn't terrible and I was still able to eat it. What I didn't like was the excessive wait time. For 3 dishes and naan we were told it would take 30-40min. We went to a nearby business for smoothies and to kill some time then came back but still had to wait extra. Actual wait time for food was more like 1 hour! Not worth the wait. If you're going to get food here, order ahead by 1 hour from when you want it. read more

My husband and I got off work yesterday and were walking in this plaza and he said he smelled indian food. We looked around and seen this little place and the food smelled good from outside, so we went in and ordered the chicken tikka masala and the chicken curry with a mango shake, mango lassie and the 2 different bread options. (They only have to-go but we like eating in our car) This place is AMAZING. The curry was spicy ( i love spicy food ) but might be too spicy for someone else. The tikka masala was so good, had a bunch of bell peppers and onions and the sauce was a little sweet but still savory, everything was delicious. They are HUGE portions and they throw in a good amount of their rice and service was 10/10. They said itd be a 15 minute wait which wasnt bad and the food was hot. They were friendly and we will definitely be back again. read more

amazing food and good portions if you're feeding a family! staff was also very kind, will be coming back!

This place has the best Kerala and generally Indian cuisine in all of Florida, if not beyond. We come from Orlando for some other work, and this is the highlight of our trip, knowing we can buy lunch here. We usually do takeaway for three days! Its takeout only, and it is worth the effort For us to go and eat at a park near by. Also, there are chairs so you can wait and even snack in comfort! They have remodeled the place, so it's even more spacious now. Starting with appetizers. We have tried all the vegetarian options on display. Its neck to neck so all come first. Samosas, dal Vada and onion bhajis! All tops. Chutney provided. In mains all the biryanis are excellent! Vegetables korma, yumm! And definitely try the Chana, it's the more nutritious black Chana, and cooked to perfection, yummy thick gravy with real coconut chips, adding a meaty texture to the rich flavor. We liked the Thoran, cabbage vegetable also cooked to perfection. We have earlier tried the jackfruit biryani, and goat biryani. This time we got vegetarian biryani and chicken biryani. Biryanis come with raita. You can taste the freshness even in the raita. They provide pickles as well. Their Malabar parotta is awesome, also the appam we had last time. The spices and ingredients are super fresh and you can taste the difference. Clearly a kitchen that takes itself seriously. Servings are extra large and easily shared by at least two very hungry people, and if you buy more than one main, it's a generous meal for three, with some left overs! Really. All mains come with generous servings fragrant rice. Takeout utensils are sturdy and superior quality. They hold up well for the two hour drive to Orlando. Even their tea is delicious. It comes in a sturdy (not average foam) bigger than standard cup, with a closed lid, and you can open the liftable bit to drink when ready to drink. I think this is the Tampa area's best jewel in the crown of Indian cuisine! read more

I have never noticed this place until today as we were walking to our car after dollar general, we were drawn in by the smell!! Wow! I said we need to check this place out - stopped in for a menu and ended up placing an order. Very happy we did, it did take some time but well worth the wait! We got the tikki masala and butter chicken with rice and Malabar parotta. Everything was about 36$ and we got plenty of food. Thank you! read more

The food is so good. I love Indian cuisine and it's hard to come by in this area. I was disappointed that they don't offer saag dishes but it could be due to saag not being specific to this region of Indian cuisine. My hubby and I order the goat biryani wrapped in the banana leaves and OMG, sooooo delicious. We also like to get the parrota bread. If they weren't 30 min away from us we'd probably go broke with the amount of times we'd order from here if they were closer. read more

A bit out of the way and is strictly take out. Best Indian food I have found since moving here! Highly recommend .

The food was good..nothing spectacular but the attitude left a distaste.. . We were driving from Miami to Tallahassee and decided to go out of our way to add this in to our trip :/ Also this is not a sit down place if anyone is planning on that. It's straight up a to go place... but that's ok because there are several parks nearby. read more

Love coming here for Indian take out! Not a sit down restaurant, but call ahead and order samosas and a curry and you'll be so pleased you did! Just check your bag before you leave, we have noticed missing items a couple of times. read more

This place is amazing and well worth your money! Usually I have to order 2 butter chickens from other Indian restaurants for me and my boyfriend but we decided to share just 1 from here and it was FILLING and AMAZING! The butter chicken was so creamy and flavorful I would honestly say it's the best I've had yet! The garlic naan was even better! I am so happy I've found this gem as I will be coming here more often than I'd like to admit! Thank you Martin for giving your great portions and great food to the public! read more

Without question this is the best Indian food in Brandon. I order take out here frequently. The food is always super delicious!

Seriously, wow. This is a tiny, unassuming, Chinese style take-out restaurant. In fact it might have been at one point. Now it's packed full of delicious curry. The vegetable curry and kurma are very inexpensive if you want to try something. Order some rice with it and expect cashews and spices to come with it. All of it absolutely perfect. Even the kurma has a bit of a kick to it too. This isn't a very big restaurant, so it's not meant to be a dine-in, but people DO eat there. So if you are interested in going and trying it, don't be afraid to give it a sit-down if that's what you would prefer. read more

I really wanted to love this place. It's close to me and the guy working was very nice. But... I was the only person there, in the whole place and I was given the wrong food. I'm not sure what I recieved exactly but more than half of the container were broken and splintered pieces of bones, so it was a nightmare to eat and I eventually gave up. Samosas and naan did not taste house made. read more

I read all the reviews and waiting for my food this place seemed popular. I have ate at plenty of Indian establishments and was extremely disappointed on the quality of the food. I ordered chicken biryani, butter chicken, and chicken tikka masala. The chicken did not seem fresh and ratio of cream or yogurt to spices were off. read more

Tried this place for the first time today and oh wow it was amazing. Definetely recommend.

When we are craving Indian cuisine this is the only place we go to now, never disappoints, and the portions are enough for two!

If you're a tunnel-visioned foodie, you're on the right track for Indian Culinary Nirvana. My experience started with a language barrier concern that had me wondering if we would get through simply ordering without words being lost in translation.... but the reviews (13 at the time) were stellar, and I had a feeling: if we could just get through the ordering hurdle, we would be rewarded. Happy to say: my hunch was right. The sit down restaurant ambiance is eh... it's clean, small, and functional. But the food.. THE FOOD! I've had Indian in several big cities, and more small towns, but none have compared to the foodgasm I had at this place. When the food is this good, it lifts my spirits and makes my day.. it resonates & shows with a perma-grin that lasts for hours.. it's that good. My dining partner wasn't all that familiar w/ Indian cuisine, so we tried the typical Indian staples: the naan, chicken tikka masala, and butter chicken. I'll be curious to go back & try various saag, curry & paneer dishes. read more

Food here is great. Authentic better than everything around. They should hire an English speaking person to run the phones though it's hard to understand them. read more

Absolute love the food. Made fresh, great spice/heat and extremely flavorful. Great portion for each meal. Try the drinks, mango is my favorite. read more

We like this place a lot. The day we ordered, they did not have Lollipop chicken & my chapati was a lil overcooked. But other than that, everything was great! It's right down the street from me so that's nice as well. The Butter chicken, Chicken Curry, Naan, Samosa w/ sauce, we loved all of them. read more

Great food I would love to go everyday! Smells so good when you walk in and the people are friendly. I love getting their spicy food cause they know how to make it spicy! read more

Great authentic indian food. Specially their kothu parotta! We ordered kothu parotta which is the best, plain parotta(lighter and soo soft),chicken roast(has a authentic taste) and kizhi biriyani. Overall all the food has the kerala touch. :) read more

I have been living in Brandon, FL for 2 and half years. Today, I just found out the best indian cuisine in Brandon. I ordered chicken curry and chana curry which are very delicious. This place is better for take out because of limited seat. read more

I read some reviews and they all seemed good. I walked in and the employees looked at me funny. I'm a white male who loves indian food. One review I read said they were prejudice, and I sure felt it. I eat indian food all the time and I am Vegan, and most of the place I go are vegan friendly. I asked for the vegan options, he walked back to ask and came out and told me nothing at all was vegan. Come on, I beg to differ, but it's their establishment and if that is how they want to be then I would never go back there. At least say you have a salad!!! So do not go there if you are white, who knows what they do to your food in the kitchen!! read more

This is the best Kerala cuisine you can have in whole of Tampa. Took me by surprise A wide variety of naadan options to choose from. read more

This place has great chicken tikka masalla and their naan is yummy too. Not much seating inside but great service either way. They are also on door dash if you live in north brandon. read more

Exactly the kind of place that deserves patronage! Very kind and welcoming owners who operate out of a small restaurant. The portions are not only generous, but also flavorful and delicious - if you don't watch yourself, you'll end up finishing it all in one sitting! Such a nice little gem of a place that I can't recommend enough. read more

Got lamp curry , chili pepper chicken and butter paneer and it was amazing! Naan bread was fresh and fluffy..very friendly people

It's great to have a nice South Indian restaurant around here for a change! The food is really good, Kerala style. We loved the butter chicken and all the appetizers. The side dishes are also a good sized portion. Everything tastes so freshly made! The owner and his staff are super friendly too. read more
