Every bite tasted fresh, like the ingredients were prepped with intention and not just thrown together. Our server was genuinely friendly, the kind of person who makes you feel welcome the moment you sit down. Great energy, great attitude, it added so much to the experience. The restaurant itself is spotless. Clean tables, clean floors, clean atmosphere. You can tell they care about presentation and comfort just as much as the food. If you're in Tampa and want a place with big portions, fresh food, warm service, and a clean environment, Luang's Bistro is absolutely worth stopping by.

Wow, not sure where these high ratings are from. Things have to be over the top poor for me to…read moreleave such a poor rating. I always try to find the good, but no good was found here. Upon entering at 3:55pm we were seated and at 4pm the waitress asked what we wanted. We explained we would like the lunch special that ends at 4pm. She responded with several questions, "what type of soup, what type of rice, etc.". Goes back to the kitchen and several minutes later returning asking again, "what type of rice?" Waitress disappears into the kitchen once again. I can't make this up, the waitress returned again to our table stating "it is now past 4pm so we can't have the lunch special it ended at 4". There was also a pungent musty odor in the restaurant, that added even more reason not to eat there. We looked around and we realized we were the only patrons in the restaurant. We let the waitress know, we will find somewhere else to eat.

Let me start with why I gave a 3 star before I get into my review…read more We walked in the door, wasn't greeted and we had to wait about 3 almost 4 minutes before someone came to take our order. It wasn't busy and we were the only people waiting. With that being said...the hummus was delicious. The pita was nice and fresh. I had the chicken skewer platter but there were no skewers my husband had the half chicken. Our other guest has the chicken and lamb bowls. I tasted the lamb, it was delicious. Everything was pretty much good and seasoned good so no complaints on the food. They have this mint lemonade that is amazing. Its freshly made too...yum The restaurant was clean, lots of seats and I love the light fixtures. You definitely feel the culture.

It was delicious! Typically I'm not a big fan of this app but it tasted really fresh and the amount of crackers, onions, and jalepenos it came with was perfect! As my dinner I was really excited to have the redfish special as this is one of my favorite dishes. Unfortunately I just didn't like the way it was prepared. It was sweet and not my vibe but the Brussels sprouts were really good. Everyone else seemed to enjoy their dishes. Just because I didn't like my dinner it wouldn't deter me from coming back here. I would just try something else!

On my quest to try another Indian restaurant, I found myself in the neighborhood and decided to…read moregive Naans Indian Bar and Grill a try. Hidden back behind another restaurant. It's housed in a former Wendy's restaurant, and I can see why it closed. It had no visibility. The tiny signs on the building for Naans were not legible so unless you knew the restaurant, people just drive by and think it's abandoned. We arrived 30-minutes after opening and there were 2 cars in the parking lot. My first thought was they must do a great takeout. Entering the restaurant, it was nothing fancy. I'm more interested in the food, flavors, and service. The server/hostess was pleasant, but not at all attentive or checked up on us once. I ordered the garlic naan and chicken tikki Marsala. My partner asked which items are vegan, she really didn't know. At Rasoi in Ybor, the server was asked the same question and she immediately pointed out all the vegan items. There were at least eight dishes that were vegan. Only having one choice and waited 15 minutes to order, we were stuck and he ordered the Dal Tudka. The meals were delicious. The sauces and medium spices were perfect in both meals. The garlic naan was perfect for dipping. I liked the chicken was cut into cubes and didn't require a knife. And, the prices were so reasonable for the amount of food you received. My letdowns were the reason for only 3 stars. They had 8 different guests order takeout. The only customer in there when we arrived ordered by phone and waited 30 additional minutes. He said to the owner he left his house 20 minutes after placing his ordering. There were additional wait times for 7 of the 8 people who called in takeout orders. Our wait time was equally long. There seemed to be ample help in the back from where I was sitting. We were in the restaurant for 65 minutes from the time we walked in until the time we left. Nothing screamed ambience, experience, as well as so few orders for this to occur. One of my biggest letdowns in any sit down restaurant, other than a fast food restaurant is bottled drinks. I like water served in a glass, with ice, a straw, and refills. I'd like to say I would give them another chance, but my partner was hellbent not returning due to the 1 vegan option and service. It's a shame such wonderful flavors were overshadowed by less than great service and extensive wait times for us and the guests who ordered takeout.

I…read moreordered Uber eats after a long day out on the town and when I got settled in the order had arrived .I opened it up and everything smelled incredible The naan was wrapped in just aluminum foil but I feel like it helped it stay warm. The veggie samosas were so good the sauce to dip were a great combination. The butter chicken at medium heat was the perfect amount of spicy and a hint of sweet with creamy sauce to dip the naan in. The chicken I wish was a little more tender but still good. I also got a Mango Lassi to clear my palette which was so smooth. Definitely would get it again.

I'm shocked this place doesn't have a higher rating.

Let's just say the restaurant and I both looked a little tired. Then the food arrived quickly. The butter chicken? Ridiculously good: creamy and fragrant. The biryani? Flavor bomb. The naan? Soft, pillowy, and somehow still willing to absorb an alarming amount of oil without complaint. Everything tasted excellent....despite the oil didn't just sit on the plate, it could have filed for joint custody of my digestive system. By the end I was stuffed, happy, and slightly shiny,
