    My husband heard great things about this restaurant from a friend. He drove about a half hour to pick up take out. Their menu is a fusion of Indian and Chinese dishes so we were excited to try them out. Their chicken corn soup was not what I was used to. The eggs were chunky instead of in velvety ribbons. The soup was a bit spicy and had carrots and pre-cooked chicken. The chicken fried rice also had spices we were not expecting. They also used cut up, breaded, fried chicken in it. It felt like rice mixed with the various cooked ingredients instead of a dish comprising of building flavors and frying the ingredients together. It did not feel like a cohesive dish. We had lamb samosas, yellow dal, butter chicken and goat masala. The dal was very watery and lacked the aromatic flavors I am accustomed to. I felt like i was eating runny yellow mashed potatoes. The butter chicken was creamy and sweet. The goat masala has more spice, and came with a rich sauce. I was ok with the level of spice with the mild options, but my husband thought it was too much for him. We ordered plain paratha, butter naan, and garlic naan. The breads were a great vehicle to enjoy the gravies and the tamarind sauce. Keep in mind that one order is just that - one flatbread cut in half. We will stick to our local spots.

    Vegan options

    We stopped in on our journey to find some new places. They had a lunch buffet with several Vegan options. Th Naan was so fresh and delicious. We also tried the Mango Lassie. Everything was really good and authentic. They have a full bar and swap out some of the buffet options weekly. The service was friendly and the staff were helpful. The restaurant was not too busy but had a steady flow of customers with plenty of tables for seating.

    One of the best Indian buffets I had in the state of Florida. They offer multiple items in the buffet. I have never seen any place offer kulchha parotha, puri, warm gulab jamun, chicken 65, mango ice cream, and many more things. This place got it all. They have plenty of seatings. I would go back again. Price is reasonable compared to any other Indian restaurants in the area. Paid $21/ person.

    I have been craving Indian for a while, and I love buffets because you can sample foods that you may be hesitant to try as a whole entree. This place had the best variety I've ever encountered in an Indian buffet - pakora, dhal, biryani, tikka masala, paneer and more. A great selection of chutneys as well! The seating is comfy and vast. Bathrooms were pretty clean and well maintained. They have chai tea included with the buffet and also mango soft serve, which was a delicious end to our meal. Staff were great about clearing away used plates quickly. For approximately $21 per person this is a great place to sample different Indian fare. Be mindful, some of the dishes are spicy (and delicious) - my party enjoyed the chili chicken. I was also a fan of the chicken tikka masala! They play Bollywood music and play the station on television, which I found quite entertaining.

    our meal

    Saw this place on Yelp getting good reviews, so I thought I would try it with my friend for dinner on Sunday. The menu was extensive and seems like they cook to order. I ordered the Malai Kofta, a vegetarian dumpling dish with an almond and cream sauce. I asked for mild spiciness. They gave me a generous portion with a bowl of rice. It was delicious, but had more of a medium amount of spiciness than mild. My friend ordered a goat dish, and although it tasted good, it was bone-in chunks of meat with excessive bones. She had to ask for another dish, which the restaurant graciously obliged and she got the lamb which was boneless. She enjoyed that. She ordered a garlic naan, and we shared it, it was very tasty and not overly garlicky. The service at the place was responsive and the atmosphere was casual but nice and roomy. I definitely would want to come her again and maybe try the lunch buffet to try the some dishes that I am not familiar with, but would like to get familiar with.

    Masala Dosa

    Ever since I started keeping a list of restaurants in Broward that I wanted to try, 5th Element has been at the top. I don't get to Broward often, so what a treat that it was my friend's birthday, she wanted Indian food, and we were going to a show in the area! The stars aligned to make this a special night for all of us! What I really like about 5th Element is that it was items that I haven't seen at other Indian restaurants. Even though we stuck to dishes that we know that we absolutely love, I am excited to return (for the buffet maybe?) to go deeper into the menu. The masala dosa came out first - humungous as it always is, with three distinct but delicious sauces. The dosa was crispy around the edges and soft and filled with potatoes in the middle. The malai kofta, one of my all-time favorite Indian dishes, married a creamy sauce (not too heavy though) and the kofta, dense balls, with spices that sung together and yet if you closed your eyes, you could taste each one on their own. I love when that happens in a dish. We also opted for saag paneer, garlic naan, and vegetable biriani. Each were excellent versions of dishes my friends and I enjoy a lot. For three people, this was a huge amount of food, but it was a special night, and we wouldn't have it any other way.

    Kulfi dessert, we think? Looks more like...

The owners Paulo, Fernando and Stephanie, are ALWAYS on the floor guaranteeing the perfect flow, and the happiness of the customers. To those people that are complaining about the salad bar, that has 30 different options or more, keep in mind that if you want salad the restaurant for you is called Just Salad and its much cheaper too. This place is all about the darn meat and the service. The churrasco masters come to your table NON-STOP. Have you ever been to those chains like Fogo ou Texas, where they come by your table once every 15 mins. WELL THAT IS NOT HOW THEY RUN THIS SHOW, you can barely finish eating the piece you got and there is 2 churrasco masters coming your way, its non stop rodízio. Lastly and the most important the quality of the meat. All other restaurants serve shitty cuts for lunch and prime cuts at night! THIS PLACE DOESNT EVEN CARRY SHITTY CUTS! They serve the prime cut all day, everyday! That should be the business you are aiming to spend your hard earned dollar at. Don't be fooled by the chains or other smaller brazilian steakhouses, here in south florida, no one provide the quality and the service that Pampa Gaucho does.

I made a reservation, and I'm guessing on weekend nights, this is the way to go. From the outside, Pampa Gaucho Churrascaria doesn't look like much, but inside it is quite lovely. Tables have white linens and candles. There is a large, inviting salad bar in the middle of the room with many choices of greens, toppings as well as cheeses, shrimp, eggplant, crab salad and more. There are also some hot bar items: black beans, rice, polenta, large grilled shrimp, mashed potatoes, and plantains. There's an option to just have the salad bar. I opted for this. They included salmon and grilled pineapple for me. There was plenty of food and it was all well made. So if you're a vegetarian or pesco-veg, you'll still be well taken care of while your carnivorous table-mates go to town. And that they did. There was filet mignon, flank steaks, sausage, short ribs, chicken, Parmesan encrusted pork, and probably way more. The dining room bursts with activity as servers visit the tables with this wide assortment of mostly rotisserie meats. Desserts are not included, and there are many options on the menu. While I tried to convince the others for the flan, we went with the tres leches. It was fabulous! So try and save a little space for dessert if you can. If you're a meat lover or looking for a fun celebratory meal, this place is for you! The servers were very nice and helpful. We very much enjoyed our evening here.

    VERY GOOD ALL YOU CAN EAT SUSHI!…read more Walked in to TemakHouse on a whim because my boyfriend and I were looking to have sushi for dinner. His conditions were: 1) All you can eat 2) Nearby My conditions were: 1) Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice was on the all you can eat menu 2) Good reviews on Yelp I happened to really like everything we ordered, and everything they served us. . . It was funny that every time we ordered our rolls, even though they were the same roll, they came different every time. For example: we ordered the 'Fancy Roll' twice, and one time it came without cucumbers, and the other time it did. (It's supposed to come with cucumbers.) (I maybe thinking of another roll from the menu but this is an example that happened.) Another thing to note is that this is a Brazilian x Japanese establishment, which my boyfriend and I didn't know. Basically everyone was only speaking Portuguese, even the hostess greeted us and farewelled us in Portuguese. I'm giving TemakHouse 4-stars because they had wonderful service, great food, lots of options, everything was pretty to look at, and clean, my only criticism is the prices, and the inconsistentcy in the sushi rolls.

The white fish was good-it was warm. The rest of the food in the buffet was mildly warm to cold (mostly cold), some-what bland, and basically unsatisfying. Piece of breaded chicken was like a shard of leather. That stayed on my plate, ugh. Although the food 'looks' appetizing, I left, well, unsatisfied and disappointed. The bill was $32 for two, without the tip. Although Panda Express is more of a fast-food thing, but the same idea as this restaurant, PE would have been much more satisfying and cheaper.

If you're driving a larger truck, be aware that parking is available but pretty tight. Once inside, we were warmly greeted by the host, who was incredibly friendly and escorted us to our table. Our waitress was just as wonderful--attentive, personable, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. There was music playing everyone there was enjoying themselves. Since it was Tuesday, we both ordered the all-you-can-eat fried catfish special for $21.99. They start you off with hush puppies and coleslaw, and when your meal arrives, you get your choice of a side. We both chose the fries. The portions were generous, with plenty of crispy fried catfish on the plate. The fish itself had great flavor, was perfectly crispy, and wasn't over-breaded. The hush puppies were delicious, and the French fries were cooked just right. My husband, who considers himself a bit of a coleslaw connoisseur, really enjoyed the coleslaw. I wasn't as impressed with it, but that's just my personal preference. My biggest disappointment was the tartar sauce. For a restaurant that's been around as long as Catfish Dewey's, I expected a homemade tartar sauce. Instead, it came in a pre-packaged container and tasted overwhelmingly of onion. Unfortunately, it just wasn't for me. If I were rating everything individually, I'd give the catfish a 7/10, the hush puppies an 8/10, the fries an 8/10, the coleslaw a 5/10, and the tartar sauce a 0/10. Overall, we enjoyed our visit, especially the friendly service and the crispy catfish. While it wasn't the best fried catfish we've had, it was still a good meal. As I always say, don't let my opinion make your decision. Everyone's taste is different, so go try it for yourself and form your own opinion. You might love it!
