    Maybe 1/3 full sauce
    Tina G.

    I don't know if I've ever tasted Indian food without spice before. But if that is something you would like to experience, I would suggest this place. I ordered a korma and I'm pretty sure they gave me some sort of butter chicken. I doubt they even added black pepper. We also ordered samosas and definitely we're not given half of the sauce needed. I would suggest any other Indian place anywhere else in Tampa. I have ordered here before and it was OK but this has ensured I will never order here again.

    This place looks not great from the outside... I was expecting a tiny place... but its really nice and big inside! The good was amazing. We started with these awesome fired Brussels sprouts. I had the Chicken Tikka Masala (i mean, that IS their name!). It was so good. Garlic naan... fantastic! My GF had a tofu dish and she loved it. We can't wait to go back again. If you like Indian food, try them out... and dont judge them until you go inside!

    Fantastic samosas, although I found the rest of the food to be mediocre and the service to be disappointing. We popped in on a Saturday night and there was only 1 other table in the restaurant, with a sprinkling of to-go orders. The server was very inattentive and the ambiance was awkward. There would be moments where the music would start and stop or the tv would randomly start playing loudly or the phone would be ringing for minutes at a time. Tables were left unbussed and we even had to fill up our own water from the water fountain. Seems like there could improvements to management and overall service training. Food: The samosas were super good and we loved the mint sauce and tamarind chutney! My boyfriend enjoyed the lamb Malabar. The chicken biryani was alright. I ordered it mild, but it came out pretty spicy so do be aware it's a bit spicier. The garlic naan tasted very buttery, almost like an artificial butter on top. I did enjoy the crispness to it.

    Enjoyable food and flavors. We ordered 3 dishes and naan for delivery, it was plenty to feed two people. They give you plenty of rice.

    Appetizer- burnt garlic Naan -Samosa -tasted of old oil - dipping sauce 1/2 of a small cup (said they were running low).

    On the up side ... mango lassi was great. Drove 25 min to pick up this food as we were in Tampa only a night. So disappointed. I did call to voice my displeasure and awaiting hearing back from the owner- I do hope he will make this right. Dry, no yogurt with the chicken dish, only 1/2 a small plastic container for the Samosa which tasted of old oil and despite my request for chutneys (being willing to purchase but usually are complimentary in Atlanta) to receive 2 mint with lots of dry rice - no lemon - no yoghurt - just mostly dry rice. When I said the Naan was burnt - she said that is how their garlic naan comes. For those that like eating minced garlic from a jar- maybe you will like this. I hope they will make this right. Perhaps earlier in the evenings the food is much better. I really had hoped this was going to be delicious as it is a treat for me to have Indian food. No coconut dishes available and no chai tea and just dry rice with a perhaps a small chicken breast and just disappointing- ahhh... but the mango lassi was great!

    Best tikka masala and nan I've ever tasted!!!!! Service was on point. Much more elegant than I expected. And the price is so affordable. I will be back with friends

    I really enjoyed my dinner here. This is a nice Indian restaurant. The waiter is very nice and the restaurant has a good vibe. I ordered lamb biryani, masala tea and mango ice cream. I asked the biryani to be medium spicy and I really like it except it to be bit oily. The masala tea is good and the mongo ice cream is great.

    Samosa Chaat
    Diego A.

    The place was dimly lit, Indian music playing. Good vibe. From the beginning when our server approached us, it was clear service was not going to be a big hit. And it wasn't. Our server seemed like she'd been forced to do this on the spot. No eye contact. No thoughtfulness or helpful demeanor. Very uneasy, trying to avoid us, it felt like. Didn't ask if we wanted drinks. Didn't offer cold water. That makes this place lose about 1.5 stars. The food was delicious. We started with the Samosa Chaat as an appetizer. Great way to begin, highly recommend it! Then we ordered the chicken tikka masala, the lamb curry, and some naan bread. All were good, but the curry and masala were lacking some flavor. Had to ask for salt. This is far from the best Indian restaurant I've been to, but it's a decent option if it's the thing closest to you.

    Vegan options. Staff had great energy and patience to modify and explain dishes to make them vegan for me. Flavor was amazing and clean. Not greasy. Dining room was clean.

    The owner is such a nice guy and the food is here delicious! He let us in after temporarily closing to dining in to catch up delivery orders and after eating here I can see why he had so many! Some Of the best Indian food I've had in a long time! We had samosas, chili and garlic naan, so many mango lasseys and my friends even tricked me into trying goat and you know what ? It wasn't bad! So anyone out there whose scared to try new foods I'm here to tell you this wasn't bad at all! My favorite will always be chicken tikka Masalaa though, which is also amazing here!

A full service bar and restaurant on one side and a lounge type atmosphere on the other side with a live DJ. They play a variety of rnb and hip hop from old school to modern day. I really had a nice time. The reason only 4 stars was due to the host not being actively present at the reception area when you walk in. He was too busy on the lounge side dropping it like it was hot and helping the bottle girls "hold" the sign. We stood at the host stand upon entry for a while until someone went to get him from the other side. The food was just "ok". For the price of the food I expected more. I had the lemon pepper honey wings and the chicken and French toast. The wings were not cooked through and served in a bowl which made it very difficult to eat. It came with 2 cornbread muffins that were dense and very dry. The French toast was great. I opted for the one with peaches and icing. It was great. It was served with chicken tenders. Again, in a bowl, which made it very difficult to cut, as I had to dig in the bowl. They were ok, a little on the dry side, the breading was falling off but they were edible. The drinks were flowing and the vibe was good. No complaints there. Would I go back??? Yes, I'll probably try something different on the menu. I feel like if the service was a bit better, more attention to detail on the food and the plating of food was different it would have earned 5 stars. But I had an overall nice time.

I reached out while planning a proposal to my now fiancée at the nearby park, hoping to arrange a small photo shoot area with champagne before dinner. After one quick email, the General Manager personally called me and spent time talking through ideas and helping make the evening special. Even with that conversation, I was completely unprepared for just how extraordinary they made everything. When we arrived, we followed a trail of rose petals to a beautifully decorated private table waiting for us with flowers, a handwritten card, champagne, and glasses already set. It honestly felt like something out of a movie. The attention to detail and genuine care from the entire team was unbelievable. The manager working that evening and our server were both absolutely wonderful -- warm, attentive, and sincerely excited for us. And on top of all of that, the food was phenomenal as always. I'm still in awe of how special Ulele made the night feel. I truly cannot imagine a better place to have proposed. This restaurant will always hold a special place in our hearts, and we'll definitely be back for many anniversaries and celebrations to come. Highly, highly recommend.

The restaurant also offers a margarita slushy and an apple cider slushy which we had samples of and that was good. We ended up getting lemonade and strawberry lemonade from a different restaurant though because we were just feeling that instead. Overall, I spent about $30 here ($22 for food and $8 for drinks).

I was definitely still hungry after but the food was enough to hold me over for a couple hours.
