The food was authentic, bursting with rich flavors and just the right amount of heat... truly spicy in a way that is often hard to find in many restaurant!

They were warm, welcoming, and genuinely attentive, ensuring that our dining experience was comfortable and seamless. Their friendly approach made the atmosphere feel inviting and relaxed. Adding to the charm was the lively ambiance of the restaurant. The bright, colorful décor and upbeat background music created a vibrant setting perfect for both casual dining and special occasions. It was a place that felt full of energy, complementing the bold flavors of the cuisine. Overall, this restaurant offers a delightful mix of authentic Indian food, excellent service, and a fun, dynamic environment. It's a must-visit for anyone craving genuine Indian flavors in Miami Beach. read more

Akash Miami Beach - Indian Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

Good place for Indian food in south beach. The area is definitely lacking in restaurants with Indian food but this is a solid option. There are a lot of things on the menu like curries, authentic appetizers, biryani, etc. Options for everyone. The service was average and they rushed us out the door and wanted us to pay while we were still eating because they close a bit between lunch and dinner but it wasn't 3 yet and just felt a little rude. Ambiance is fine but in my opinion it's better as a takeout spot. read more

Akash Miami Beach - Indian Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

We were preparing to leave Miami and head back to Tampa, but before starting our journey, we wanted to enjoy a good lunch. After searching for nearby restaurants and reading some reviews, we decided to dine at Akash Miami Beach, which appeared to be a promising choice. We were fortunate to find parking right in front of the restaurant, making it convenient for us to head in. Upon entering, we noticed the restaurant was nearly empty, and we were promptly seated at our table. Since we had an infant with us, we ordered Dal Tadka with Rice specifically for him, along with a Mango Lassi to accompany the meal. For the rest of us, we ordered a variety of dishes, including Chicken Lollipop, Chicken Malai Kebab, Kadhai Chicken, Akash Chicken Curry, Garlic Naan, and additional Mango Lassi. The service was quick, and we first received the Dal Tadka with Rice and the Mango Lassi. The Dal Tadka was flavorful and comforting, resembling home-cooked dal, which made it perfect for our infant. He enjoyed it thoroughly. The Mango Lassi was refreshing--not overly sweet, which suited our taste preferences perfectly. Next, we received the appetizers, which included Chicken Malai Kebab and Chicken Lollipop. The Chicken Malai Kebab was a highlight--tender, flavorful, and perfectly cooked, with a rich and creamy taste that we thoroughly enjoyed. However, the Chicken Lollipop fell short of expectations. It was overly colored, leaving red stains on our hands, and the flavor did not make up for its appearance. Finally, the main course arrived, which included Kadhai Chicken, Akash Chicken Curry, and Garlic Naan. Unfortunately, both chicken curries were disappointing. The dishes were overly colorful, and the flavors seemed off. It was evident that the tadka (seasoning) made with onions and tomatoes had not been properly cooked, and the use of tomato sauce as a shortcut was apparent and concerning. The lack of authentic taste and preparation was a letdown. While the Dal Tadka and Chicken Malai Kebab stood out as enjoyable, the rest of the meal did not meet our expectations. The excessive use of coloring and underwhelming flavors in the curries overshadowed the dining experience. read more

One of the most disappointing restaurants I have ever been to. We waited for 10-15 minutes to get the table and next 10-15 minutes for someone to take our order. Some of the basic items like Papadum in menu were not available. It took them more than 30-40 minutes to come back with order. The service is way too slow. On a Saturday evening there was only 1 server and everyone in the restaurant was just waiting for their food to come! Food was just ok at the best with lot of ketchup in Paneer Chilli. We ended up by picking a Dominos which is exactly opposite to the restaurant. read more

I literally followed my nose into this place bc the spices that filled the air enraptured me. I'm super picky when it comes to how chicken is cooked and the chicken tikka masala was cooked to perfection. And the naan was crispy and delicious. read more

First time trying 'Akash' Indian Restaurant in Miami Beach in February 2025. My first impression was the naan, it tasted so yummy. The chicken was a little spicy but also good and the rice was good as well. The service was good too & the environment was good as well. Definitely would recommend this place to people I know who haven't tried Indian food. #getyaindianfoodon #indianfood #miamifl #miamibeachflorida #indianrestaurant #yum read more

It had been a while since I had Akash but I recently ordered it twice and it was so so good and fresh! I always order delivery and food gets here fresh and warm. My order remains the same - mango lassi, garlic naan, vegetable korma (with basmati rice), and vegetable samosas. Their portions are generous. Prices are a little high but definitely worth the treat. If I ever need to call about my order, staff is nice! Definitely one of my favorite places in Miami Beach! read more

Fantastic! Definitely one of the best Indian restaurants in Miami. Ordered the Akash curry with lamb. The lamb was sooo tender. The chicken tikka as well! The chicken very tender. The vegetable biryani is probably the best I've ever had. And I loved the spinach paneer so much. The naan stuffed with coconut was such a delight as well. read more

When you think of Miami, and specifically South Beach, Indian food is not the cuisine which comes to mind. However this place will change you mind. The food was excellent. Flavors and textures layered. Spices added to enhance the taste not just thrown in to make it spicy or crank up the heat. We didn't get too adventurous since this was our first time here. The chicken tikka masala was one of the best we've had anywhere. As was the naan. Service was on point. Ordering to meal presentation was was quick, but not so fast you think they had it in warmer back in the kitchen. Trust, the taste gave away they didn't. The decor and ambiance is pure South Beach. All in white, minimalistic, sleek clean lines. Lighting washes which remind you of the club. Not your typical Indian restaurant that goes all in on the Indian theme. With requisite pictures of the Taj Majal. This place leans into the food. You won't be disappointed. read more

Great food and fantastic service. Take out is always quick too. Careful with the spice as of you are not family with Indian food spicy is outrageously spicy. We usually go medium and I feel like we can handle spicy food generally. read more

My review is based on the food and the service only. Ambiance is ok. Food: We got the chicken tikka masala. The chicken was cooked from frozen and had a very rubbery, dry texture as expected from frozen. The curry was probably the worst I've ever had. The color looked unnatural. Daal Tadka was ok, although a little too watery for me. Service: Horrible. One server on the entire restaurant floor. We were sitting for 15 mins before someone took our order. When the check came, they didn't even ask me for the tip and added 18% without my consent!! I heard the table next to me mention something about that too. The server took over the credit card terminal and didn't give me an opportunity to review anything! Will be disputing with my bank. Very sneaky business. read more

These are NOT my best pictures but I had to show what the to-go order really looked like. I'm sad I didn't discover this place sooner. Nice family feel to the restaurant and staff. Bollywood videos playing while you wait to pick up. I love it. Mango Curry was by far my fav but all three dishes we ordered to share family style were delicious. Creamy, rich and flavorful sauces. Mild heat on everything (because I'm a baby) and plenty of rice and naan to clean your plate. Don't think there's much else to say - I obviously recommend giving this spot a call. read more

Amazing choice . I had fell I love with the food and service . Highly recommend. Thanks for ur amazing spices.

Had dinner at Akash last week and we were surprised at how good it was! Service is excellent. Everyone is very friendly and our food came out quickly. Ambiance is nice. We sat outside since the weather was great, and while we were actually sitting near (in?) the parking lot it was still pleasant. Food is actually quite good. Aloo gobi is a 10/10, daal is an 7/10 (we found it quite liquidy), rice is good, and the roti and naan were also a 10/10. Prices are reasonable and we'll definitely return if in the area. read more

Well, this is the second time coming here in order to make a change from all the other types of food in Miami Beach and it was very good again. The service is very friendly and professional, and they take the time to explain dishes that aren't very familiar with most Americans. We would definitely recommend this place and intend to come back here again sometime in the future. read more

One fine day in Miami. Friends traveling from different states decided to have some good Indian food. On recommendation from one of ex-employee at Akash we decided to enjoy lunch there. The ambience was beautiful, clean and following all the necessary norms with respect to Covid19. The manager at restaurant was very nice and greeted us all. Thank you for the hospitality. And so does the servers, the staff was quick and acknowledging. Coming to the food, we had order a good amount of food. Starting with the appetizers, we ordered Samosas which has a tasty fillings and chicken lollipop which was tasty too. For the main course we had ordered paneer makhani, shahi vegetable korma, goat masala and bread. Paneer makhani was nice, but shahi vegetable korma was very mild and feels like salt was missing. I don't have goat masala but my friends were happy with the taste they got in goat masala. Also, they have Indian kingfisher beer which I haven't had in very long time so it felt nostalgic. For the dessert we ordered pista kulfi which was okay! Again, thank you for the hospitality. All the best to the team Akash! read more

Akash Miami Beach - Restaurant seating - Indian Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

Had the chicken tiki masalla and the mango curry. Both were the best I've had in Miami.

Adding Indian spices liberally doesn't make a dish Indian. Low lighting made it difficult to figure out if the restaurant was neat especially given that the table was sticky. To top it off prices will make you realize you are in south beach even if one forgets. read more

The food is good, but be careful of their shady upcharges - 18% minimum gratuity regardless of party size, 4% surcharge for credit card payment, 9% sales tax (other places in the neighborhood seem to charge 7-8%). This feels like a scam. read more

Just not very good. Everything was watery. Not thick and creamy. The flavor was bland. I ordered onion pakora and it was way over battered and not crunchy at all. Chicken dish was meh. Again, soupy. The naan was the best part. But that's about all that was worth eating to be honest. read more

When you order all the time and work all the time and finally have a window......where do you go? best Indian in SOBE.

I'm very impressed with the quality of their food not to mention the cleanliness of the restaurant and you can clearly see how clean the kitchen is as you walk towards the bathrooms you can see through some large windows facing the entire kitchen. My recommendation is the tika chicken and their curry's , also their lamb chops are out of this world ! We drive from afar to get to this restaurant but it's definitely a worthy effort. Also the owner Raj is very personable and makes you feel right at home as he does his rounds from table to table. read more

Akash Miami Beach - Entrance - Indian Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

I came here twice and the first time the service was on point and food arrived fast and tasty, that was also on a late Friday evening. I came here on a Thursday evening last time and service was incredibly slow and the food wasn't as tasty as the first time. If the service and food is like the first time and this restaurant is great. Both times I ordered paneer makhani and garlic naan. The second time the sauce was much more red and less makhani like. The menu is limited compared to other Indian restaurants so keep that in mind. Otherwise, this is a solid option in Miami Beach. read more

Food was delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. I love a good Indian cuisine and Akash hit every single thing I look for. The service was phenomenal; the waiter was very attentive and educated us on the plates available. The ambiance is quaint and cozy and makes for a great date night. read more

Food - 4/5 Service-5/5 Ambience-4/5 Bit small restaurant but certain food which we tried where good. Paani poori was not that great. Paani didn't have the flavour or the taste. Poori is very different than usual. Tikka , Garlic Naan and Panner Naan are good. Spinach was bit less in salt. Verdict- Worth trying read more

I order from here all of the time it is hands down the best Indian food and I have lived in a bunch of big cities!

Authentic delicious restaurant. I always have the best experience, been there for over 5 times... great neighborhood restaurant, the best flavors and simple and convenient. Easy street parking, can't wait to go back again or order to go (which I also do on regular basis) Best authentic Indian in Miami Beach read more

Excellent service and food was very delicious. I had guava margarita's , followed by naan , vegetable biryani and a yummy curry dish. Everything came out really fast read more

The food is amazingly delicious and original Indian taste! The smell of spices will pull you in from the street. The very nice staff were great at anticipating what would work for us. Tikka Masala was one of the best we've ever had. The food was incredible and serving sizes were very generous. We will be back again. read more

**AVOID DOUBLE TIPPING - gratuity not disclosed like most restaurants** I ended up tipping almost 40% and didn't even get to finish my dessert. Everything was fine until the end. Other than the Tikka Masala being sweeter than expected, the food was good. Waiters were attentive. But then, we were finishing up at 9:45, while posted hours were until 10:30, and they proceeded to clean up our table while we were still working on dessert! Literally moved the bowl out from under my hand holding the spoon. While paying, they didn't give me an itemized receipt - it was electronic, with only the total amount and a tipping option. Because I felt so rushed, I didn't realize until later driving home, when I added it up mentally, that 18% gratuity had been added to our bill before it was presented to me for my signature - with options to add a *minimum* of 18% on top!! Given the way things ended, even my intended 18% would have been generous. Be very careful. When looking at an itemized receipt, you can check for included gratuity, but they did not give me the privilege. read more

The service and food was outstanding! The goat biryani and chicken tikki masala were both delish. The garlic naan is a must . The spicy chana (ordered that way) was enjoyed by my husband. we will definitely return. For a small restaurant, it was packed on the Thursday night we dined. We opted for outdoor dining, and the ambience was just right. Highly recommend for authentic Indian cuisine. read more

This is the best Indian food available on South Beach by far. Always FRESH and wholesome. The flavors are authentic, and the family style servings are abundantly delicious. Its a perfect place for sharing and the best value for your money possible.... They have a great selection of Indian and American beers and wines as well. The owner Govind always on site is friendly, honest and welcoming. I have been coming here since they opened, and highly recommend Akash for dine-in or carry out Indian food. They are also very accommodating with deliveries. COVID UPDATE: Akash has a huge umbrella and cooling fans, so outdoor dining al fresco is cool and comfy here! I LOVE THIS PLACE!! lets keep them in the neighborhood my peeps!! read more

Nice ambiance but food is average. They have the advantage of being the very few of Indian places if not only the place on Miami Beach.

We ordered Chicken Biryani, which was good, Naan was ok, Kashmiri Naan was too sweet, Mango lassi was overpriced, Chicken curry was good. Total Bill should have been about 108 $ based on menu, but was presented as 125 $, not sure why. Waiter pushed us to sign the bill before we could finish the food and see the details. This is not standard practice and disrespectful to customers. Waiter said we need to give numbers to boss by 3.00, We were there for a good lunch experience not to please his boss. This is the nonsense, I ever heard. So along with good food, service needs to be upscaled to win customers and get good real ratings read more

Butter chicken, garlic Nan. A bit pricey, but the best on the beach if you are craving Indian food.
