Fifth Element Indian Kitchen 1448 W International Speedway…read moreBlvd, Daytona Beach, FL 32114 I really wanted to like Fifth Element Indian Kitchen, but this visit was a complete letdown. We ordered the Thali expecting a well-rounded, flavorful Indian meal--but what arrived at the table was far from it. The food was served cold, which immediately set the tone. Naan, which should be soft, warm, and slightly crisp on the edges, was instead leathery and overly chewy, almost as if it had been sitting out far too long. The Thali was supposed to include chicken biryani and chicken curry, but both dishes missed the mark entirely. The chicken served was dark thigh meat, which in itself isn't an issue when cooked right--but here, it lacked any depth or proper preparation. More disappointing was the complete absence of flavor. Indian cuisine is known for its rich layers of spices and aromas, but everything on the plate felt bland and lifeless, as if the spices were an afterthought rather than the heart of the dish. Adding to the disappointment, the interior decor felt very dated and gloomy, lacking the warmth or vibrancy you'd hope for in a dining space. The bathrooms were also filthy, which only made the overall experience worse. Having dined at several Indian restaurants, we know what a good Thali should taste like--balanced, vibrant, and satisfying. This was none of that. It felt rushed, poorly executed, and lacking the care that defines authentic Indian cooking. Unfortunately, this experience was disappointing enough that we won't be returning.

Well, unfortunately, everything we tasted was way too spicy for our taste. They do give you a complementary bottle of water when you come in and that helps. Anyway, if you can handle the spicy heat it's a great deal for the buffet. Food was hot, service was attentive and the buffet is smallish but has some nice choices.

The space is modern, clean, and really welcoming--easy to relax and enjoy your time there. Such a diverse menu with options like Butter Chicken, Tikka Masala, Korma, and various appetizers and entrees, with popular items including curries, various Naan, Samosas, Chai and Mango Lassi. We started with cauliflower Manchurian, onion pakoda, samosa chaat, and Chicken 65--everything came out fresh, crispy, and full of flavor. For the entrees, we tried the mixed meat platter, the curries were extremely delicious from madras, tikka, makhani to Kerala fish curry, and the Chettinad cashew coconut chicken curry with black pepper. Each dish was so flavorful fresh and the spices were so aromatic. The naan was excellent across the board--garlic, classic, cheese and especially the date Peshwari naan... SO delicious. Slightly sweet, soft, and honestly a must-order. Yum yum yum! We ended the meal with dessert & chai. Had the traditional dessert ras malai, gulab jamun, carrot halwa, and rabri a new dessert that the chef was making all with masala chai--such a warm, sweet and flavorful finish. We even had the soomph palate finisher at the end. Exceeded our expectations what a treat from the moment we walked in to the ending! Huge thank you to Varun and the entire team for the incredible service and delicious food. You can really feel the love & care in every detail. We'll definitely be back soon.

Imli Indian Kitchen and Bar 330 S Atlantic Ave, Ormond…read moreBeach, FL 32176 If you're driving along A1A with the ocean on one side and those beautiful high-rises lining the coast, do yourself a favor and make a stop at Imli Indian Kitchen and Bar. This place is a gem that delivers on every level--from ambiance to flavor to service. The restaurant itself is spotless, modern, and inviting, with a relaxed upscale vibe that fits perfectly with its beachside surroundings. Plenty of parking makes it easy to pull in, settle down, and enjoy a proper meal without any hassle. We started off strong with the cauliflower Manchurian and onion pakoda--both came out fresh, hot, and perfectly crisp. You can tell right away when a kitchen respects texture, and they nailed it. The samosa chaat was layered with flavor, and the Chicken 65 brought just the right kick--crispy on the outside, juicy inside, and seasoned beautifully. For mains, we explored a bit, and everything felt thoughtfully prepared rather than rushed. The mixed meat platter was generous and well-balanced, the Kerala fish curry had that deep, coastal spice profile, and the cashew coconut chicken curry with black pepper had a rich, aromatic heat that lingered in the best way. Every dish carried depth--nothing tasted one-dimensional. Of course, no Indian meal is complete without naan, and both the garlic and regular versions were excellent. But the real standout? The Peshwari naan--slightly sweet from chopped dates, soft, and just indulgent enough to feel special. That alone is worth coming back for. The drink selection is another plus--they've got a solid lineup of wines, beers, and spirits if you're in the mood to pair your meal. And considering the quality and portion sizes, the pricing feels more than fair. We wrapped things up with a full spread of desserts--ras malai, gulab jamun, carrot halwa, and a warm cup of masala chai. Each one hit that comforting, traditional note you hope for at the end of a great Indian meal. This isn't just another Indian restaurant--it's a place that clearly cares about doing things right. Whether you're a local or just passing through between Jacksonville and Orlando, this is absolutely a stop worth making.

Really wanted to love this place. We used to go to the place in Altamonte but new owners there have…read moredropped the quality. This place came highly recommended, so we decided to stop for lunch around 1230 pm on a weekday. They were empty. We were greeted by a very friendly man with a mustache who seated us quickly and brought cold water to our table. They had the buffet which my daughter ordered. I opted to order off of the menu and got medium spice chicken vindaloo and garlic naan. The buffet had a variety of chicken, lamb, and lentil dishes. Her chicken dishes looked fantastic-fresh, white meant chicken chunks. Her lentil and potatoes looked dry but her only complaint was that they were bland for her taste. In fairness, she likes spicy dishes. I am very picky about my protein so take my next sentence with that in mind, if you are also picky: My chicken vindaloo was all potatoes with 3-4 pieces of dark meat chicken held together by fat and gristle. The chicken was inedible. The sauce was too thick-I have eaten vindaloo many many places and never had it look like this in my life. It was clumpy. The basmati rice it came with was fine. The garlic naan I ordered and the butter naan (came with the buffet) were both so soaked in butter that the naan was immediately soggy and not at all good. I think that the key to this place is to order off the buffet during lunch. Indeed, the man who seated us appeared to "highly suggest" the buffet and seemed nonplussed when I requested the menu. We were so disappointed in this place and will not return.

They remodeled the exterior and interior and it's like stepping into a part of India. They have a reasonably priced lunch buffet during the week and weekends. The weekend buffet offers different selections I have noticed. I always get a mango lassi to drink which is delicious! The fresh naan is always a great way to start the meal. They offer a variety of vegetarian and non vegetarian selections on the buffet so there's something for everyone. My favorites are butter chicken, tandoori chicken and a lamb dish that I forgot the name of. Don't skip their rice pudding dessert. It's slightly sweetened and is flavored with cardamom pods and other spices. Delish! The staff is always so helpful and will offer suggestions. Ask one of them to make you Indian nachos. You'll thank me later.

I saw some unique items and decided to give them a try. I tried both the Chaat Platter and the…read moreGulab Jamun Creme Brulee and really enjoyed them. The platter includes three dishes the Samosa Chaat, Dahi Bhalia Chaat, and the Pani Poori. Personally, I wish the Pani Poori came with chutneys instead of the mint water and tamarind water. Because both of the Chaats had chutneys and they were really good. The chutney flavored water didn't have much flavor to it. If you're looking to try something new I would definitely recommend the Chaat Platter. The Gulab Jamun Creme Brulee was delicious. It didn't have much of a Gulab Jamun taste but the custard was good. The serving bowl is pretty shallow so you don't get much but for $7 I'm not upset. There's a couple other desserts that I would like to try next time though. Because of the pricing, if I were to try appetizers and desserts I probably wouldn't get a meal as well. My server was Harika and she was a pleasure! Her and the other staff went over my questions and helped show me pictures so I could know what I was ordering. I certainly appreciated it. Will definitely be back.

The garlic naan was fresh, soft, and the perfect complement to the meal. Beyond the food, the entire experience was wonderful.
