This is a beautiful space located in Ybor. Sadly it was raining, but the outside patio will be lovely to visit when the weather is nice. The inside is charming and decorated nicely. We shared the chicken Tikka Masala and chicken saag with garlic naan (of course!). Everything was delicious and we enjoyed the Taj Mahal beer and Rupee IPA with our meal. I definitely recommend getting an Indian beer with dinner! Our server was very friendly and took good care of us - honestly all the staff was really nice. We didn't feel rushed and really were able to enjoy our dinner and conversations before the check came. This will definitely be our local go to for Indian food. The counter was constantly full for to go orders, so we will also plan to order take out in the future too!

What happened?? Did…read morethe recipes change or are there new cooks? We went for the weekend buffet after a few months' absence and experienced an entirely different restaurant. The decor was the same and lovely but with the change in food and service, I have to believe that there was a change in ownership or attitude. Previously, the food was lively, tasty, and very fresh. Service, despite it being a buffet, was attentive and helpful. I could understand the crowds waiting to be seated. This time when we arrived, there was no wait and many empty tables. Hmm . . . Then the food - bland, bad, and not fresh. The paneer was tough, the chicken chewy, and all greasy in a very bad way. This is in comparison to our previous meals as well as our experience eating in some acclaimed Indian restaurants. Service was abysmal. The staff grouped by the station without purpose - no one asking if we wanted drinks, how our meal was, or even offering the bill. Given this, it's highly unlikely that we'd ever try it again. The experience was insulting regardless of cost. PS they remove bad reviews from Google. As I posted there, I saw 4 other 1 star reviews for today and now they are gone

BOGO special - When checking out the menu online I noticed the Buy One Get One free offer which is online-only and available throughout the day. From my knowledge you can't mix and match the items that are on the BOGO menu. We ordered the Butter Chicken and within 20 minutes it was ready for pickup. Super quick! I was a bit surprised that two servings of butter chicken only came with 1 serving of rice so this is something to keep in mind when doing the BOGO special. We ordered another serving of rice for an addl $6 and an addl order of garlic naan. The rice was beautifully flavored with spices and pieces of clove. The butter chicken (mild and no-spice) had large chicken breast chunks in it and a beautifully fragrant sauce. The garlic naan came with 2 pieces per serving, and had fresh garlic and parsley on it. I did think the naan pieces were on the thinner and drier side. Would definitely return to dine-in and try out the biryani dishes and chicken palak/saag!

Love the mango lassi too. Definitely recommend!

Halal means food that can be consumed by Muslims due to its method of preperation. Kinda like kosher for Jews. As I was visiting next door my curiosity drew me to this place. I had no intention of buying anything but the most effusive greetings one could expect met me at the door. I felt compelled to buy something and my gut agreed. I took it for Indian food and much of it is I suspect since Bangladesh borders India on the Bay of Bengal. The menu wss extensive so I jumped at the suggestion of lamb shank and took a to go box home with me. Later I tried it and wow, I loved it. Surprised me. I know very little about this type of food, just the more basic dishes one encounters. However, when I looked into the place, Mostafa's Halal had a solid 5 star rating from EVERYONE, and now me. I do know I will be back to try a few more dishes, you should come get ya some. Hidden gem.

I ordered the veggie samosas and the Chicken 65 biriyani. I was disappointed not to get any chutney for the samosas, but I will say that the samosas were adequately spiced that I didn't need to dip mine into my favorite mint cilantro chutney. The chicken 65 biriyani was delicious and an interesting alternative to standard chicken biriyani. The food tasted fresh and well-seasoned, and the taste of fresh curry leaves shone through. I would happily order from here again. Or, better yet, try it out in person. I read on yelp that this place has a breakfast (and lunch and dinner) buffet. I really hope to have a reason to be in the area for brunch, because I really want to try it!

In just the 4 days I was in Florida, I came here twice! Living in Louisiana, good South Indian food…read moreis good to come by so we were delighted to find this spot! Our first visit, straight from the airport, we opted for breakfast classics: mysore masala dosa, idly vada combo and Chana poori. My husband and I shared everything and really enjoyed it. The food was fresh, authentic and some of the best tasting SI food we have had in a long time. We finished the meal office by splitting a filter coffee and it was the perfect closing to the meal. On our second visit I wanted more of their delicious sambar so I opted for the sambar vada and my husband orders the chicken curry with paratha. Again, the food was fresh, authentic and tasty. The chicken tasted like a homemade plate and the sambar and vada were piping hot, perfect for a chilly day. My husband even ordered a chicken Kati roll and chicken 65 biryani to take home. Unfortunately their dum biryani is only available a few days a week, so that wasn't an option. He told me that the biryani was good but he would have preferred a dum style and that the chicken in the paratha wrap was tender and flavorful. This place is not fancy. Everything is served in paper plates and you order on a kiosk. This was totally fine with us. The only thing we wished was that the parathas were freshly made, and they appeared to be frozen/manufactured. This does however make sense when you consider the very reasonable cost of their food. They also offer both lunch and breakfast buffets with veg and meat options for under $20. We missed these but would love to come back and try. The staff and service were very warm and caring. I hope more people expand their palates and embrace this place as it offers great service and food at an accessible and affordable price and location.
