Indian in Miami New Times
Showing 1 - 22 of 25
Formerly known as Taste of Bombay, Ayesha moved to 328 Crandon Blvd. in the heart of Key Biscayne. It’s the only decent Indian joint for miles and the only one on the key. It offers all the dishes that make Indian food so delicious: basmati rice, samosas, chana masala, tandoori chicken, garlic nan bread, each […]
It hits as soon as you walk through the door: the mouthwatering smell of spices, curries, and flavors that you can’t find anywhere else. No matter which location you choose, Ayesha’s Fine Dining will take your palate on an exotic journey through the tastiest of traditions. Everything at this Miami restaurant is delectable, from the […]
Featuring walls of pastel mint green minimally adorned with brightly colored sconces, Bengal’s contemporary two-level space is lovely. Bollywood music videos summon sound and fury on a high-def TV set. The food, unfortunately, is decidedly low-def – the flavors of a vegetable biryani or chicken tandoori don’t leap on the tongue like a tiger, but […]
What began as a mom-and-pop 30-seater has grown into an Indian-food mainstay with two locations (Coconut Grove and Fort Lauderdale). Diners crunch on crisp papadum wafers while watching Bollywood movies on a large screen and perusing the menu. That list is lengthy, but at its heart are the tikkas, tandooris, and vindaloos that fans of […]

What began as a mom-and-pop 30-seater has grown into an Indian-food mainstay with locations in Coconut Grove, Doral, and Fort Lauderdale. Diners crunch on crisp papadum wafers while watching Bollywood movies on a large screen and perusing the menu. That list is lengthy, but at its heart are the tikkas, tandooris, and vindaloos that fans […]
In, of all places, Dadeland, chef Niven Patel and his crew opened Miami’s eyes to the cuisine of western India, a culinary culture that comprises infinitely more than tandoori chicken and lamb rogan josh. At Ghee Indian Kitchen, which earned a Michelin Bib Gourmand designation in 2022 and also operates a second location in Wynwood, […]

A colorful, cozy little respite from Washington Avenue madness, Guru Fine Indian Cuisine is the perfect spot for an Indian food fix. From $15.90 for a flavorful tandoori chicken tikka to $16.90 for a spicy lamb vindaloo, prices aren’t cheap – but they’re not South Beach steep, either. Vegetarians will love the array of options, […]
At this California-casual global restaurant, the prime focus is Indian food: unusually tasty dal makhani (braised lentils), savory nilgiri korma (stewed beef in rich yogurt sauce), kofta curry (tender vegetarian “meatballs” in comforting cream sauce), mattar paneer (peas and tofu cheese in a sweet, zingy tomato sauce). But you can also get Japanese steak, Cajun […]
While service at this veteran Indian spot (open since 1975) can be spotty – sometimes accommodating, sometimes inattentive – its renowned lunchtime buffet, available every day of the week, is very large and extremely affordable. Choices change daily, but carnivores will find several meat or poultry curries, and vegetarians will enjoy tasty dishes like chana […]
You have to look pretty darn hard to find chow from the place where Columbus thought he had arrived. Sure, there are plenty of the walk-up cafeterias selling caf
This Coral Gables restaurant is nothing if not ambitious, the menu delving into regional dishes not seen in our other Indian joints. You can find chicken cooked in the styles of not only tandoori, biryani, khorma, and tikka masala, but also noorjehani, karachi, jalfrezi, makhani, andhra, and chettinad. The last, a curry specialty from Tamilnadu […]
Good Indian food is hard to come by in Miami. While Kebab wouldn’t be considered outrageously amazing in, say, New York, it’s as authentic as it gets in the Magic City. And spicy-food lovers excuse the humble, outdated setting and less-than-stellar service when in search of crisp samosas, pungent tandoori dishes, saucy platters perfect for […]

Mint Leaf’s most distinctive offerings are its dosas: thin, crisp pancakes made from ground fermented lentils and rice that come folded around a choice of stuffers such as masala lamb, spicy chicken, or the traditional potatoes and onions — a knish with chutzpah (and tasty). Entrees divide into seafood, chicken, lamb, rice, and vegetarian, the […]
This is not your nuevo Indian cuisine with inventive new entr
Decor is unassuming at this downtown lunchroom — it’s basically a hole-in-the-wall, albeit a clean and cheerful one — and most of the roughly dozen dishes served daily are steam-tabled, not made to order. Still, since most Indian food is relatively slow-cooked rather than quickly stir-fried like that of most other Asian nations, it survives […]
This Indian eatery (which might also serve Thai, Chinese, Philippine, Italian, and/or Japanese food, depending on the season and the chefs’ vacation schedules) doesn’t serve Bombay’s famed regional chaats (snack foods). The menu covers only the usual Northern Indian/Moglai dishes found everywhere, and à la carte prices are no bargain. A daily lunch buffet, though, […]
