If you are new to Indian food, the staff is happy to make suggestions and give explanations. My husband ordered their take on a whisky sour and it was the best we've ever had! I don't know what magic they put in there, but it retained the essence of a whiskey sour but melted the rich Indian flavors. Last night we ordered the paneer 65 and hyderabadi chicken 65 appetizers and buttered chicken with naan for the main course. Chef's kiss!

Rahul was our server and was awesome. He was friendly, knowledgeable, attentive. All of their entrees come with a soft, wonderful long-grain rice. If you finish the rice, they automatically bring another bowl so you're never left with a bowl of curry sauce. Ordered the mutton korma (lamb), butter chicken and chicken tikka masala with chicken that had been cooked in the tandoor. AHHHHmazing! When it was originally delivered (in really cute cook pots) I thought we might need to order more, but that bowl holds a lot more than you think and there was a lot of meat at the bottom. We are big eaters and all had leftovers. Each of these dishes was amazing. We could not decide who had the more delicious dish they were all that great. We'd try 1 and decide it was the best, but then try another and decide well maybe that one was the best. lol If you've been looking for a new Indian spot, head over to Masala Majesty and ask Rahul for some recommendations. So glad we gave them a try! btw - We aren't buffet lovers, but if you are, they offer a buffet on Sundays. Also, sounds like the ownership of this place switched to the new owners only a few months ago so if you tried the old place, might need to try it again with the new food and staff.

After living outside…read moreof Tallahassee for a few years, we are glad to be back, and even more excited to find that Zaan Indian Cuisine had opened during our absence. The last time I was in the building, it was Café Cabernet. Yes, I am showing my age, but that was the last time I was in the building. I was curious to see how it would be reimagined as an Indian restaurant. Imagine my surprise when it felt like a brand new experience walking through the door. Beginning with the darkly tinted windows which create a warm moody ambience, despite the sun shining brightly outside, then walking into a beautifully appointed bar with stunning Emerald green barstools. Over the bar hangs a custom chandelier that sounds like wind chimes. We had already looked at the menu before we came in, but we took an extra moment and decided to order a cocktail and an appetizer before our meal. The Paneer Pakora arrived beautifully presented. The portion was absolutely enormous, and the two of us had half of our dinner orders leftover to take home. I imagine it will reheat beautifully in our air fryer. We ordered the chicken vindaloo and chicken tikka masala. Zaan utilizes a mild medium hot scale. Some restaurants will use a one through five I ordered medium and it was a proper level three if that is what you are used to. The staff to customer ratio was balanced in the customer's favor. The service was impeccable, the staff was available within eyesight the entire time, yet they did not hover over our table. We also ordered garlic naan, and I truly believe that what we left with in our to go containers was another entire meal. The portions are very generous . We are early diners, but I can tell you that this is also a perfect place if you want to stop in for a cocktail at a sexy bar, and order some appetizers. The fellow diners that were there during our early bird visit were mostly younger families, but I would definitely head back for drinks and appetizers later in the evening as the decor really lends itself to being a bar as well. It was a little hot to be on the patio, but I imagine that during mild weather that is the place to be! One thing that motivated us to visit, is the owner being so active on the local foodies page. Anytime someone asks for recommendations for a special occasion, brunch, birthday dinner, the owner is immediately in the chat recommending his business. They were very responsive to my request for a reservation via social media. There is a large attached parking lot so parking is not an issue. I can tell you that the outside is very deceptive. Unless you knew the previous business in that location, it might be easy to just pass right by. Please don't. You definitely need to visit if you are looking for global cuisine with a fantastic environment. They appear to have a VIP table for special occasions as well as a private dining room. I saw to go orders running continuously through our entire visit. We will be back soon and may even take the spice level up a notch.

The lunch menu let our family of four eat family style and try a number of things, all of which were delicious. We had enough leftovers for another meal, which they helped us pack with all the right containers. The advantage of ordering is the dishes are prepared fresh, and to me tastes better than eating off a buffet line. The mushroom mutter was my personal favorite, and it was quite rich so I'm glad there were other dishes to try and fluffy rice and naan to eat it with. On the way our everyone got a mango lassi for the road, and these too were excellent. It's very close to I-10 and easy enough to get to when traveling. We left with food, drinks, had freshened up our travel waters (which was very clean tasting from the restaurant), and were in a great mood from eating a proper sit down lunch. Definitely will be back, and recommend you try it!

Everything tasted fine though. $20 a person for lunch seems a bit steep though. It's not in my top 5 places, but it's not terrible. Probably won't go back unless there's no other options.
