I get the butter chicken and chicken briyani and they are so mouthwatering and delicious it's insane. The inside of the restaurant is very nice and cozy in my opinion and when you sit in a booth you feel very secluded which I personally love. The service is also amazing and the people who work there are all very kind and lovely.

The flavors were really hitting and they do not play about their spice level. My only complaint is they were kinda skimpy on the chicken for me but I was full regardless. I also tried the lamb korma. Honestly surprised, I'm not even a big lamb guy cause it tastes too lamby for me but it hit. And the shrimp korma was good too it was pretty subtle. I don't usually order seafood tho cause they be ripping you off. Went back and it was still fire. Tried the chicken korma, masala dosa, and gobi Manchurian which were all super good. Was craving tikka masala so had to get it off but I also tried samosas for the first time. It was sooooo good. I was not a fan of the minty sauce much but the brown chutney funny enough, I think their tikka masala is my least favorite out of all the things I've had here

My family and I were a little skeptical because the parking lot was empty. I'm so glad we decided to still give it a try!!!! I said well let's look at it in a different light, that we got a whole restaurant to ourselves! The service and food were amazing from beginning to end!!! The flavors were so AMAZING!!!! The only thing that wasn't what we thought was the lychee martinis. There were no lychee's but the pour was strong. We ordered some mango juice and it made it good! All the food was fresh and flavorful. Everything came out hot. The best naan we've ever tasted. We had to order two baskets! Tried the chili fried corn! OMG we have never tasted anything like it. It's hard to explain! The vibe and decor is everything!! Me and my daughter were grooving in our chairs the whole time enjoying the food and their cultural music. We will definitely be back to support! We actually prayed for this business to be successful so we can try everything on the menu!! And before we left many people started coming in. Fine Indian dining!!!

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.

We stopped in on Sunday at lunchtime to try their $18.99 lunch buffet. We asked on of the employees…read morehow spicy the food was and he said "we don't make it to spicy on the buffet." 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.

I was in the area working and had to stick around for a bit, so I decided to go in for dinner. I…read moream on a low carb diet, so when I eat out, I usually order the meat with the vegetables and exclude the carbohydrates. I ordered the chicken tikka masala with no rice and extra peppers. The waiter gave me a strange judgemental look. I kindly explained I am on a diet and don't want the extra carbs. When the food arrived, he placed the bowl of rice in front of me then looked at me and said the rice is complementary. I bashfully explained to him that I am on a diet and he looked at me weird again. I didn't want to make a big deal about it so I just took the rice and ate some of it. The interaction left me feeling uneasy. I never asked him to reduce the price in exchange for excluding the rice. I did ask him for extra bell peppers, which they didn't do either. I am insulted that gave me strange looks when he took my order and when he served me the food. He assumed that the reason I didn't want the rice was because I couldn't afford it or was being frugal. I have never had this problem when I have eaten at Mexican, Thai, Chinese, or any other restaurants. It's very simple, I don't want the rice, so don't serve me the rice. If I was a vegetarian and asked for no meat in a dish, would they still serve it to me? Or what if I had a food allergy and asked for something to not be in my food, would they still serve it to me? I am a customer who placed a very specific and easy to adjust order. Technically, it would have been more profit for the restaurant. I didn't ask him to change the tikka masala recipe or to charge me less money. I was fine with paying full price and would have paid extra for the extra peppers. Rather than insult me, he should have just served me what I asked for. The chicken tikka masala was bland, not that spicy for medium, and was very sweet. I won't be returning to this restaurant again.

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. The restaurant is beautiful, the atmosphere is warm and inviting, and every staff member I interacted with was incredibly friendly and welcoming. I left already looking forward to my next visit because there are so many other dishes on the menu that I can't wait to try. If you're looking for amazing Indian food in the Oviedo area, Tabla is definitely worth a visit. I'll absolutely be back!

This place is great! Found them on Resy. Apparently it's been here many years but I never go to…read morethis part of town. We had a reservation but the place is fairly big so we didn't need it. For our appetizer order, I started to say we want the platter but she knew before I even said it. Haha. Must be a popular dish. I had seen it in reviews - looked like it comes with many items! We cut everything up so we could all get one bite of everything; a couple items had two or three whole pieces so we each got a few bites. The sauces are extra charge but definitely get them. The chutney is so good and whatever that spicy brown sauce is, is really good. I ordered for the table- shrimp korma, chicken tikka masala, butter chicken, palak paneer, aloo Gobhi, lamb kadai, dal makhani, garlic naan, garlic cheese naan and paratha. It was a lot of food!! The dishes came with basmati rice. It was so much rice, our server didn't bring it all- instead she packed it up to go for us from the start. In the end, we finished nothing. We split the left overs- they brought us two containers for each curry so we didn't have to mix anything. And we got styrofoam containers for the breads and rice, and our to go rice as well. We shared the mango mousse cake- very nice, not too sweet, definitely mousse consistency. We sat and talked throughout the dinner. They had quite a few other tables so our server was running around. She kept apologizing to us but we were in no hurry. It was fine. We enjoyed our time. This place is good. We also like Mynt, Tamarind and Jala. I would say the prices here are better than Jala and on par with Tamarind. We do not like Tamara in Lake Mary - expensive and not that good. We would definitely come back here. Service is good, food is great, prices are reasonable and there's a lot of paneer and meats in the curries. A lot. A lot more than most places. And you can avoid the traffic and bad parking situation of winter park. I would recommend this place. Parking is plentiful. I did not use the restroom so I can't speak on that. They have some music playing which can be a little loud. Restaurant was clean. They were very responsive by phone when we typed the address in wrong and got lost. Oops. Haha. They do have a big sign that you can't miss. Go and enjoy!!

Trying a new place near the Altamonte Mall. Full service restaurant (with a full service bar) and…read moreno buffet. So I'm expecting higher quality food for sure! Inside, the place is really nice, almost formal. Dark dining room with nice tables and booths. Cool artwork and lamps. Service was very interesting. Our host, maybe owner(?) was super chatty. I prefer service to be get and get out promptly but she was recommending items, asking questions, and determining herself what we really wanted. Hey, maybe some people really like that to get a great experience. I found it a bit much but she was super nice. We got the veggies platter appetizer which was fantastic. The server really pushed the lamb samosas which were fine but I should have passed. And for entrees we got butter chicken, tikka masala veggies, and shrimp korma with garlic naan and a fantastic plate of basmati rice. The meal was great! The sauces/gravies were so delicious. And honestly, some of the best basmati around. Come for the food! Definitely recommend this place. And for Amex users, a great credit as well. Definitely worth it.
