It was with great expectations that we went to Bindiya this evening.   The reviews that we found…read morespoke highly of this new restaraunt just a few blocks from the center of San Miguel.   As people who spend a month per year in Cozumel this diversity was welcomed. Walking into an empty restaurant was our first sign of concern, but when the lady in charge didn't get off her butt to greet us concerns began to grow.  We entered anyway wanting to believe the reviews we read - they must have been paid reviews on yelp.. My pina colada was the worst I've had - EVER!  Tried to order but they didn't have Nan bread.  Seriously, an indian (dot) restaurant without nan.  Tried for plain basmati rice - no again.  They charged $5 for some flavored rice.  Have you ever been to an Indian restaurant that did not serve rice with the main dishes?  But not having lamb - no lamb at all - that section of the menu was out.  So it was chicken or fish or some unrecognizable vegetarian stuff with potatos. So we defaulted to two chicken dishes, Murgh chicken curry & Butter chicken along with an order of Jerra rice (had to buy rice!).. The dishes were VERY bland.  The murgh curry wasn't bad though and we did eat it.  It just lacked any real curry flavor.  The butter chicken was unlike any butter chicken I've ever eaten in any country in Asia or even the US..  It was almost Italian in nature with the overload of tomato sauce in it.  I've never had Butter chicken that tasted like tomato sauce.   It was horrid and we left over half of it on the table, along with that skanky pina colada. On the bright side the decor of the restaurant looks nice and the prices were not over the top.  More expensive than the value as it turns out. A very disappointing experience...

Finally my family agreed and in Cozumel , I yelped and found an Indian restaurant. It is about 15 minutes inside , away from ferry. The decor was inviting and excellent.the host was courteous. We ordered, salty lassi , lemonade and mango lassi.we loved our drinks. After that we ordered, chicken tikka masala and chicken biryani and garlic naans. My kids finally thanked me for taking them for Indian cuisine as they loved the food. The chicken tikka was perfectly spiced for my kids taste and biryani for my more spicier taste. The owner also came to visit with us on her day off . We appreciated the welcoming gesture!! We thanked the chef Sanjay for making our visit memorable with his delicious cooking .

Thanks to Yelp I found this hidden gem within easy walking distance from the cruise port and was THRILLED with all the plant-based / vegan options. My standard diet eating husband was equally thrilled with the choices for him. The server spoke English, which was super nice and they also have menus in English for this busy tourist area. We arrived in the morning and wanted something brunch style and we were both pleased with our choices. I enjoyed the 3 plant-based tacos with the beans and side salad - the salsa was delicious too! My hubs loved his breakfast burrito that filled him up for the day of sightseeing. We also each tried a different fresh-made juice - so good!! We've got another cruise going back to Cozumel and you'd better believe we'll be hustling ourselves back to this spot.

Cozumel in late September isn't a postcard. It's humid, a little sticky, the kind of weather that…read moremakes you earn your dinner. The restaurant is open-air, the kind of place where fans work overtime and the heat is part of the atmosphere. If you're here for polished white-tablecloth perfection, you're missing the point. This is the kind of place where the food matters, and the people making it matter even more. We started with a margarita -- simple, clean, lime-driven, the way it should be. Then a surprise: a Mexican Chardonnay that was more than just a curiosity. It was bright, elegant, and held its own against what was about to come. The tuna tataki arrived like a quiet promise -- fresh, barely kissed by flame, layered with tomatoes and herbs that tasted like they'd been picked that morning. Then came the pasta. Not just pasta -- house-made, hand-cut strands with that chew you can only get when someone's sweating in the back rolling it out. One plate loaded with clams, briny and delicate, another brimming with mussels, shrimp, tomatoes -- a proper frutti di mare. This was Italian soul filtered through the Caribbean, kissed with garlic and oil, but unmistakably crafted with care. And then dessert. A cacao chocolate cake so rich, so unapologetically decadent, it silenced the table for a moment. This is the kind of cake you remember -- layered, moist, dark, a reminder that pastry is art when it's done right. But food is only part of the story. Joel, our waiter, was the other. A young man brimming with passion, the kind of person who doesn't just serve you but lets you glimpse the beating heart of the restaurant. His pride, his storytelling, his quiet attentiveness -- it elevated the night from a meal to an experience. Would I go back? In a heartbeat. Not because it's fancy, not because it's perfect, but because it's real. Real food, real people, real sweat. And in the end, that's what matters.

They have a couple of great regional Yucatan dishes here, like the Molcajete and the Cochinita. San Miguel de Cozumel is admittedly not the most beautiful or interesting Mexican city to do touristy stuff in, so it was a treat to find some great regional cuisine to try. I was with a group, so we ordered the Molcajete (basically, mixed grilled meats in a stew), ceviche, and cochinita (stewed pulled pork), along with tortillas. All of it was great. The sauces, from the salsa to the stew broths to the ceviche sauce, were all terrific. There was mention that they dishes were spicy, but in the end, none of the stuff was super-spicy. Furthermore, the spicy stuff was often a salsa served on the side, or a whole roasted pepper that wasn't integrated into the dish, so you could calibrate your spiciness to your taste. Bathrooms: Basic, but clean and functional.

The Spicy passion fruit Margaritas were Amazing! We only had one day in Cozumel since we were coming from a cruise ship and it was raining that day. So we got off the beaten path and enjoyed the food and drinks at this restaurant. It was only $2.50 pp to take a taxi from the cruise port. Be sure to negotiate your taxi fare. The music was good too and nobody seemed to mind that I got up to dance for a few minutes! Overall the experience was amazing! I definitely recommend the fajitas and the guacamole appetizers and the drinks!

For more than 10 years, every trip to Cozumel has included at least four or five meals here. It simply wouldn't feel like Cozumel without Sorrisi. From the very first bite, you can tell everything is made with love and from scratch. The pizza is outstanding, the pasta is always fresh, and the desserts are absolutely worth saving room for. Some of our all-time favorites are the Chicken Parmesan, the baked gnocchi, and the fresh sangria--each one is consistently delicious and keeps us coming back for more. But what truly makes Sorrisi unforgettable is the people. Over the years, we've been welcomed not just as customers, but as friends. The staff is always warm, attentive, and genuinely happy to see you. On our most recent visit, Gaspar and his incredible team made us feel so special by preparing an off-menu favorite just for us. It's those thoughtful touches and genuine kindness that set this restaurant apart. Thank you, Gaspar and everyone at Sorrisi, for so many wonderful meals and memories over the years. We look forward to every visit and can't wait to return again. If you're lucky enough to find yourself in Cozumel, don't miss the chance to experience Sorrisi. We have no doubt you'll understand why it's become such a special place in our hearts.

The owner speaks great idiomatic English and basically said she would be happy to make us whatever we wanted. I asked for a plain salad with lettuce, tomato, and avocado and that's just what we got, with a tangy balsamic vinaigrette.

The salmon dinner was good, but the shrimp main course was devoid of seasoning - making it less than ideal. I appreciated the sorbet that was offered to cleanse the palate between meals.

I think it's safe to say that we saved the best for last! My one complaint is regarding the availability of reservations. We went to the concierge desk to make a reservation for a Sunday on a Friday morning, and they only had a 9pm reservation left. That's a bit late for us old heads, so we instead opted for a Monday night at 6pm reservation. Thankfully we were staying through Monday night - I would have been very sad if we weren't able to check this place out. Though the hotel says you need to make reservations before 2pm on the same day, I would suggest securing your reservation as early as possible. The service here was absolutely impeccable. Our wine and water was always filled and the courses came out in a perfect time-frame. Our waiter was super nice and attentive, and they were very accommodating to my husband who is allergic to penicillin/mold/BLUE CHEESE! Clearly he could not eat the Gorgonzola soup, so they substituted a delicious vegetable soup for him. From start to finish, I enjoyed every single bite. There was not one thing that I ate and reacted to with a "meh." You can check out the photos to see everything I consumed, but I could rave about each dish (especially the whiskey truffles). I left feeling full and treated like a superstar. The violinist was also a great touch!
