Two families with young kids, big appetites, and high hopes -- this restaurant delivered on all counts. We have English roots and know our Indian cuisine! The staff were warm and genuinely attentive from start to finish. That kind of hospitality makes a real difference when you're dining with little ones. The food was outstanding across the board. Mango lassis the kids adored, Kingfishers and Taj Majals for the grown-ups, and a feast of butter chicken, lamb madras, chicken vindaloo, shrimp methi, saffron dal, spicy cauliflower, onion bhajis, and naan -- every dish full of flavor and made with obvious care. The vindaloo had perfect heat, the bhajis vanished instantly, and the cauliflower was a surprise favorite for everyone. This is our new neighborhood go-to. We'll be back soon and often.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ read more

I have no idea how to rate this place after their recent failed inspection, but the food is pretty damn good. The samosa chaat is packed with flavor. I ordered medium spice, and it was on the spicier side--my pores tingled from the heat, and I loved it. For the main, I also got the medium-spiced Chicken Korma. Incredibly delicious, not as fiery as the chaat, but the flavors took my taste buds on an amazing trip through India. Generous portion too--way more chicken than most Indian spots. No Indian meal is complete without naan. Theirs was soft and pillowy (not dense like others) and perfect for soaking up the sauce. If you're okay with the inspection issue and crave a flavor trip to India, give it a shot. read more

We wanted to come back to Ayesha after not having been here for 5+ years... Ayesha's ambiance is very typical for Indian restaurants... definitely room for improvement there. Service was outstanding, and our waiter was always attentive and pleasant. The food has mixed pricing... some are expensive, but overall, most dishes run in the high 20s. Beer, however, is VERY expensive. The food was very good. Fresh and very tasty. Seasoning is on point. The kitchen runs great. Everything came out hot and in a timely manner. Great neighborhood restaurant to come and bring the family. read more

Most expensive Indian restaurant in south Florida, chicken biryani or chicken tikka masala's almost 40 dollars, we will not come back , this is out of control, We went to Desi Darbar and the price was 18 dollars each dish Ayesha is a complete ripoff, never coming back , we just ate from Desi Darbar and the food was authentic and plentiful The food is good in Ayesha but the prices are horrible, 13 dollars for a lentil soup , one bag of lentils is like 1 dollar and you can make many lentils soup with one pack , I'm tired of this nonsense read more

So delicious!!! And the waiter was so kind and friendly. We'll be back!! Food came out hot, and quick!

I took my mom tonight for her bday. The staff are excellent, ambiance is clean and the decor sets the mood for fine dining. Apps and entrees and sauces tasted freshly made, and the quality of the overall fine dining experience was perfect. Mom was surprisingly satisfied and I was too. The menu is pricey but it is fair. The server suggested trying the various sauces for mom's dish and she was glad she did because she loved the flavors so much that she took the rest of her ample meal to go. read more

The service was great and food was even better! This place did not disappoint! Food was fresh and everything was delicious. I had the Cheese Naan to start and it's was good - it's the Indian food version of a quesadilla, but a dinner kind of cheese. Soft and made to perfection. For an entree I had the Paneer Tikka - delicious over a bed of rice. If you're with a group and you don't feel they brought enough rice, don't hesitate to ask for more! I don't blame you, their rice is so simple yet so yummy. Will definitely be returning ! read more

The BEST Indian food in Miami! I've tried them all. Their butter chicken is to die for and their garlic naan is delicious. The decor could do with an uplift (sponge painted walls) but the food more than makes up for it. Excellent, friendly and super attentive service. Try it. You won't be sorry. read more

I have NOTHING BUT INCREDIBLE things to say about Ayesha - everytime I dine in or order out The food is absolutely incredible. An experience, a journey for the senses - this restaurant has MASTERED the authenticity and richness of Indian food. Aromatic dishes waft through the air and meet your taste buds beyond their expectations We had the Chana masala (Medium spice) The butter chicken also medium spiced, Vegetable Samosas, Garlic Naan & the Gulab Jamun that left me speechless! Everything was perfectly spicy, without sacrificing flavor.. scrumptious crispy and yet fluffy naan ... the samosas come with a plum like vinaigrette that pairs with the spiced samosas PERFECTLY adding flavor and cooling. This entire review would be a miss if I failed to mention the GULAB JAMUN. What an impression this dish made on me! Fried balls of cheese that taste more like sweet dough, in a bath of RoseWater & Honey ... we had to close our eyes as we enjoyed ! We may have looked super silly but the flavor profile was almost nostalgic but we definitely have never had anything as delectable, as sweet yet not at all overpowering. Dont skip the Gulab! Don't skip desert at all, Ayesha masters pairings so your desert is the perfect palate cleanser - leave feeling full, happy and nourished ! - This review is a reflection of our Valentine's Day dinner but is coming from a gal who loves this establishment, I don't live close so whenever I have a chance THIS IS THE BEST TREAT!! Please note, I didn't take a single star off of this review for this commentary: Valentine's Day there seemed to be a mishap - orders took longer than ever before we arrived at 8pm and left at 10pm Nothing that was not worth the wait & management aswell as servers were VERY QUICK to be kind, helpful and offer apologies MY ONLY SUGGESTION: Bringing drinks round would absolutely help antsy customers survive the wait read more

Our daughter highly recommended this restaurant. Some of the best Indian food we have ever tasted, and we have been all over the world. Service was fantastic also. We're in the Homestead, Fl area visiting for three more days and we will go back before we leave. read more

Really enjoyed the service and food here. The staff was very friendly and courteous and the food was delicious. It is way pricier than an average Indian restaurant and the portions were small. Will definitely go back here again read more

Such a beautiful place! I've never dined in but when I go pick up my food I always notice how beautiful the inside is decorated. Now about this food..... I only stick with what I like and that's the chicken tikka masala and garlic naan bread with the tamarind chutney on the side. Sooooo delicious! I've tried other Indian dishes before not here but I've decided that this dish is the one I like most and it hasn't failed me yet no matter what Indian restaurant I go to. Pricey but worth it! Ayesha's is satisfying and delicious with comedian staff. read more

My wife and I were in the mood for Indian food and been crazy to try this place for a while since it's close to home. It has a nice and authentic ambiance, servers were awesome and very attentive! They gave us the house chips with a tomate sauce. That was delicious! We started then with vegetable samosas as an appetizer. They were delightful and a little spicy with a tamarind (I believe) sauce in the side. My wife ordered the Chicken Mango Curry mild and I had the Malai Kofta spicy. Also, we ordered Kashmiri Naan which is filled with nuts and raisins. For dessert we had the Gajar Halwa, a heavenly carrot pudding. We had gone to other Indian restaurants here in Miami but this one made it to first place! Both of our dishes were exquisite! The Malai Kofta was spicy and soft, the mango flavor of the curry with the chicken was enticing, the Kashmiri Naan had this hint of sweetness while savory at the same time, and the Gajar Halwa with a softness of a rice pudding that made the whole meal very enjoyable! I'll certainly be coming back! 100% recommended!!! read more

So, I lost the pictures of this meal, but I'll start off by saying that the staff were very nice. That's very important to me. They started off strong and were friendly throughout, but then they began to slow down as time went on. I was surprised when we got there that the restaurant was empty. While dining, only one other party of four- came through. So that struck me as odd, but although the staff was nice, the food was really mediocre and the prices were outrageous for what they serve. We had the lamb masala, fish curry, vegetable korma & garlic naan. The servings were small, the dishes were qatery and lacked seasoning, Indian food is ALL about the spices. (Then I understood why the place was empty.) We were extremely disappointed because Indian food is one of our favorites and we were really looking forward to this meal. Dang it Miami! read more

Ayesha Fine Dining - Lamb masala, vegetable korma & garlic naan. - Indian Near Me - Miami, Florida

Nicely decorated local. Friendly staff. Very flavorful food. Our main complaint is that the staff seemed rushed to service. When three couples of friends get together conversation is important and the waiter could not wait to take our order. Also, accompaniments were offered that sounded like part of the meal to later find they were charged for. A 20% service charge was added to the bill. read more

We were totally blown away by the food and service here! We came for my friends birthday and had one of best meals I've had in a very very long time. I had to look it up the day after because I was craving more. We were promptly greeted by our server who kindly made us lassi's that were not even on rhe menu. He really want above and beyond. We started off with the veggie samosas with mango chutney which come with 4 sauces that are all delicious and we dipped into all 4 sauces at once plus that mango chutney.. I could just scuff 5 of these down. They were full of flavor! We started off with the Garlic naan which was gone before we even ordered so we got a side of cheese naan which was really flavorful, cheesy and for me the best type of Naan. We got the lentil dahl which is one of my favorite dishes and even though they look small, it was very filling and more than enough food for 4 of us. I tried paneer for the first time in a tomato sauce and it was just like tofu. We came with a friend who is vegetarian and we as meat eaters enjoyed all the vegetarian food. Nothing was left to be desired. At the end they came out with shaved mango ice and a candle to sing happy birthday which was totally unexpected!! Our server deserves the world! he was a true gem! I will be dreaming of coming back until I do!! read more

Ayesha is located right on US1. I have driven past this place for years and i always wanted to try it but it just never happened until last night. My husband and I went for dinner. The place looks clean, elegant and the service was impeccable. We started with complimentary Tomato chutney, Chicken Samosas and garlic shrimp. It was all beyond delicious. My husband who is not a fan of samosas enjoyed every bite and even had some of mine. He ordered the butter chicken with white rice and I ordered the coconut lamb with Kashmiri rice. Then we ordered a Kashmiri and a garlic Naan. We enjoyed the main dishes just as much as the appetizers. So glad that this place is down the street from us because we will definitely be coming back again very soon. read more

We really enjoyed our dinner. The staff and food were excellent. We felt very welcome and will definitely come back.

Food was great needed little salt but the fact you can't share some dishes is beyond ridiculous! It's more then enough for some people to share or 2 kids etc and if it was take out what's the difference? The prices are however way too high, $68 for lunch is robbery for 2 people with NO DRINKS, 2 lunch things and 1 appetizer! Needs a buffet, we were only ones in for lunch at that time, no wonder! I'd return if they didn't have high prices, had buffet reasonable or allowed sharing! Staff very pleasant, sad we won't return, garlic naan was super yum read more

What a beautiful dining experience! The breadth of flavors and variety of dishes was dazzling and the ambience was welcoming and mellow. Our host, Godwin, was very gracious and helpful in making suggestions and explaining dishes we weren't familiar with. I recommend Ayesha for fine Indian cuisine without hesitation. You will be sure to find the food and the atmosphere and service there of the highest quality. read more

My mother had eaten at this restaurant before several years ago when she used to live in Miami before she relocated to her home of origin, Malaysia. After my son and I went with her to visit her old home elsewhere in Miami, since we were hungry, she drove us to this restaurant. We found out that the restaurant was named after the owner's now adult daughter, Ayesha. Godwin, our waiter, from Mumbai via Connecticut and who relocated to Florida recently was very friendly and helpful. I inquired about his name. He informed me that his parents had had daughters first and that his father prayed for a son. When he was born, his father chose to name his son, "Godwin", since God had answered his father's prayers for a son. He brought us papadums with a red pepper relish. Then, Godwin helped us to choose from the menu. We were initially going to have regular pea and potato samosas. He suggested we try Samosa Chaat which he described as smashed samosas covered in garbanzo beans and assorted sweet and savory sauces with various interesting flavors. Godwin mentioned that we should tell him which protein we wanted i.e., lamb, goat, chicken, beef or fish and he would help us to order dishes. We all had a craving for lamb....My mom ordered the Lamb Korma, my son ordered the Nigiri Lamb Korma and I ordered the Lamb Chops cooked in a Tandoor. We also had Butter Naan and Garlic Naan which we were used to and a new flavor, Rosemary Naan, which is now our favorite flavor of naan. In addition, we had Basmati Rice. The food was absolutely delicious, especially, the Samosa Chaat, and the Lamb Chops! The Mango Lassi we all ordered was very good too! Admittedly, the bill was higher than we had expected. However, since the food and drink as well as the service were all top notch, we decided that the experience was worth the bill. This is a good place to eat at when you want an extra special treat. We were celebrating buying a new family vehicle! read more

We have been here several times and it never disappoints! Ambience is nice, service was great; food is Great.... spices, flavors are right on point! We decided to indulge in a bottle of wine to enjoy as well---nice, California Cab. We had a wonderful experience! We will certainly be returning! read more

My first thought upon arriving at Ayesha Fine Dining was and I quote: "Wow, this is farther than I thought!" I knew this was going to be south, but I didn't think that I would be passing by the Welcome to Palmetto Bay sign. Needless to say, this was a bit of a drive and I was hoping it would be worth it. Also to note, last year my friend Elian D. and I were planning on going there to celebrate my birthday and ended up going to another restaurant instead. That restaurant shall remain nameless given the horrid experience we had, but luckily for us, that story did not repeat itself at this fine Indian eatery. We had a grand ol' time if I am to be frank. Starting from the beginning, my friend had made the reservation for us to eat there for my belated birthday dinner a day prior. The staff is so on point that when we got there early, they recognized him and quickly led us to our Reserved table, you know with the little sign. Everyone there was very pleasant and desperately trying to please. It wasn't in an overly pushy way either. You can tell that they just genuinely want to make their customers happy. I really liked that as it made me feel valued. In terms of food, they have so many choices. I think this is probably the biggest menu I have seen at an Indian restaurant. It resembles a book, a hardcover one that has been loved repeatedly. They bring you a complimentary appetizer, some papadam with a tomatoesque sauce. Sauce had a kick to it and it tasted delish. Ordered some vegetable samosas to share. A plate of these brings two, but boy are they big. The vegetable samosas come with tamarind sauce. Have to say it definitely compliments the flavor. Truth is these samosas were heavily filled with potato, but I didn't mind. As for our main dishes, I had the chicken tikka masala and my friend had the chicken rogan josh. I ordered the chicken tikka masala medium spicy and I regret to inform you I felt nothing. I asked Elian to take a bite and the same can be said. He had his dish medium and it was spicier than mine. Still though, they skimp on the spice for my taste. I sent my dish back for more spice. If you like spicy food, by all means go spicy there, and even then, expect to just feel flavorful food. The spicy at this restaurant is not spicy at all. It is just a combination of flavors that go well together. We each had garlic naan and no complaints there. Had enough food left over for today's lunch, which I will happily finish. Ended the meal with some Chai and yuck. What a way to end a meal. So burnt and so subpar that I couldn't finish it. Fortunately, this didn't deter from the meal. That and there was a Starbucks nearby. Probably the one thing I don't recommend from this place. Loved my time there and would return if in the area. Have to admit though this won't be getting my favorite Indian restaurant award. read more

I love this place and everyone here is so likable. Dinner is always great. A bit greasy but delicious.

I decided to give this place another try. This was a mistake. The only thing that was enjoyable was the garlic naan. We ordered a chickpea appetizer my BF took a bite and pulled out a piece of metal. I called over the waiter and told him about it. He took it back to the kitchen. I saw him talking to the owner. The waiter came back mumbled an apology. I kept waiting for the manager to approach the table but he didn't do so until the end of the meal. When he does he has this pasted on grin...apologizes and says it happens sometimes. What???? Uhhhh not where I go to eat it doesn't. Maybe there it does. That was the last time for me. read more
