It is definitely still 5 stars, with delicious food as well as incredible service! My waiter was very helpful with giving me suggestions, answering questions, and even brought me a mango lassi on the house (which was incredibly tasty). The ambiance is also nice, with tons of seating and a nice calm atmosphere. This is definitely my favorite Indian spot in Gainesville and I hope to come back next time I'm in town.

Other Indian places will offer this with bowls of Raita. The Raita needed a little more flavor as well. We will be back to try more things . Also, the staff were great and the nice waitress gave us another Raita upon request. See you all next time!

It was pretty busy but never crowded. Service was friendly and around just the right amount. The food was tasty and a good variety of options. Butter chicken and curry goat are always good choices in my book. Definitely recommend if you're in the mood to indulge in some Indian food.

A great non chain restaurant serving authentic Indian food…read more We started off with the papdi chaat and that was delicious. Tbh I've never had one before and it was a nice surprise of sweet, spice and crunch. I highly recommend this dish. Then I had the lamb makhani combo which was like a regular creamy curry dish. This was also delicious. My combo meal came with rice, samosa, naan and dessert. I didn't care for the dessert as it was just way too sweet for me but the rest was great. Hubby had the lamb biryani combo meal which the flavor was infused or incorporated into the rice dish. I personally preferred my own order but he said he really liked his dish. Son ordered from the Chinese section and he didn't like his food so my reco is to just order from the Indian section bec after all, you are in an Indian restaurant.

Following a visit to the labyrinthian VA facility in Gainesville, my wife and I were considering…read morelunch options. In looking at Yelp, we were drawn to the Indian Street Food place. Located along a building with another Indian restaurant and market and even a Vietnamese restaurant, this place has plenty of parking and quite spacious inside. We love Indian food and are always open to trying out new restaurants. We have not been to India (on the list of countries we plan on visiting) so not familiar with the street food on their menu so we opted for the more familiar options. My wife ordered the Butter Chicken combo ($20.99) and I tried one of the chef's specials, Bhatti Ka Murg combo. The combo came with basmati rice, butter naan and a desert called Gulab Jamun. My wife's combo also came with a samosa. The butter chicken was good...that sauce, which turned out to be the same sauce for the bhatti ka murg, was full of flavor. The naan was OK...nothing special and we've had much better naan. The rice serving was a bit chintzy. The desert was OK. My dish had decent flavor but definitely better dipped in that sauce. Having to content with bones from chicken thigh meat and drum stick meant I had to work for it but not too bad. While our meals had good flavors, we thought flavors and portions we had at Amrit Palace in Ocala were just as good if not better with more generous portions. We would often have leftover food to take home after a meal at Amrit. Lunch for 2 with tip was just under $54.

This restaurant…read moreis located near Waffle House on Newberry Road but can be tricky to get into depending on the direction you're coming from. When walking in, they had some old school Bollywood music videos. My order was taking quickly and I waited for about 10 minutes for my order. Once I got home, the food was still piping hot. I ordered the chana masala, which comes with basmati rice, and an order of samosas. The samosas were perfectly cooked and seasoned. They had a hint of spice but tolerable. The two sauces - tamarind and chutney were so good with the samosas. I wish I ordered more. The chana masala was very tasty, I went with medium heat since it was first time eating here. The spice was really good, I could've went hotter though. The masala was buttery and delightful. I could've drank the sauce it was that good. The chickpeas were cooked perfectly as well. The flavor profile of the dish was tangy but creamy. I wish I had some chicken tikka to throw in there. Overall a great take out meal and great portion sizes where you can stretch out these meals.

The basmati rice was warm, buttery (ghee), and herbed. The lamb was cooked to a very delicious texture, and the curry korma sauce was smooth, and warms your tongue and taste buds! Even though I ordered what I wanted, and it turned into three meals (goes great in an omelet), I feel like I should have gotten an appetizer. Some bread would have been nice, or even some samosas. I just felt like some other bite would have made it better. Next time, I will take my own advice. I only gave them 4 stars, because the place looks a little worn, but the food is special! Next time, I'll discover some other taste here.

Attractive look on the truck, I like that it stands out with solid branding! The main highlight: Fried on the spot are the Vegetable Samosa and Crispy Lentil Spinach fritters. The rest of the experience: The menu was disappointing, perhaps it was just me, and I may have just wished for more Indian fried street food on the menu. The man at the service window seemed overwhelmed, so no chit-chat was possible. Cheerlessly, the service was slow, and even longer wait time after placing the order. I ended up getting dinner also, ordering the Butter Chicken - small bits of chicken dispersed with butter sauce on top of a mound of rice. The flavors were good, but the protein portion was minuscule. Save your money on the Naan; it tasted store-bought and just warmed up. The flavors were non-memorable, with a sense of "Indian flavor authenticity," the spiciness in the sauce diluted.
