I've been here a couple of times. Dine-in and take out. Food is very flavorful and delicious. Service is on top of every need and very helpful and friendly. The only reason I don't give them a full five, I believe their prices are a little in the high side. And sometimes you feel some pressure from the server on what to consume (the most expensive items in the menu). All and all pretty decent food. Once in a while if you're in the mood of Indian food and in the area. Ayesha is the place. read more

Wonderful service and delicious food. Their Butter Chicken, Chicken Chili Masala and Chicken Tikka are my favorites. Highly recommended!

Ambience was fine although the entrance and parking can be smelly. Food quality is absolutely below average or average and extremely overpriced. Once can eat much better authentic Indian food in a lower priced restaurant. I specifically ordered Chole Bhatura that was simply not what is expected. There were some 4 odd pieces of Maida Puris that was there instead of the actual Bhatura read more

I came in with my parents for my mom's birthday and everything was great from beginning to end. We started with garlic naan and garlic prawns. The best part of Indian food is the sauces and we got a taste of that with the lamb korma and chicken tikka. My parents grabbed a to go menu on their way out because they enjoyed it so much. read more

Giving 5 stars because that's the max... should be 7 stars! Coworker recommended the restaurant and to have the butter chicken. However the waiter suggested the special of the day, Mango Curry Shrimp. Not enough words to describe how phenomenal it tasted. My mouth is still watery and wanting more, even though I'm full. Found our new favorite restaurant. read more

Amazing service. Amazing food! Samosas were cooked to perfection and the waiter recommendations exceeded our expectations.

I share the opinion of others, who really wanted to love this place, but just couldn't. After inquiring as to whether they are a sister location to the one in Key Biscayne or if it's just sheer coincidence that they share the same name, I was told that yes, they're under the same ownership. Considering Ayesha is one of the top Indian restaurants in Miami, in addition to Bombay Darbar, I had high hopes. I had eaten at Ayesha in Key Biscayne and was quite happy, so I expected this place to match that experience but sadly, it did not. The issue started when my friend and I ordered mango lassi. Before I even get to that though, we sat for at least 5 minutes just staring at each other, wondering when we'd get a menu, so service already was starting off to be slow and somewhat careless. Once we ordered the mango lassi, we noticed it was warm. My friend and I have been to several Indian restaurants throughout South Florida (and England as well, in his case), and never have we encountered warm mango lassi. It either will have chunks of ice in it, it is refrigerated, or it is blended with ice, to render that delicious, refreshing drink. It was 90 degrees on Sunday, so getting a warm mango lassi was not only odd, but frustrating. We had to ask the waiter for some ice, and we noticed some of the neighboring tables were doing the same. What's up with that? As a main course, we decided to share a large plate, a mixed grill for $26. The Ayesha Saffron Mix Grill contained "assorted chicken tikka, tandoori chicken, shrimp, lamb chop, seekh kebab, served on sizzler with green sauce." Okay. It was sizzling and yes, all the meats were there, but what about the green sauce? No sign of a sauce among the sizzling meats that came to our table. As I cut into a chicken thigh, I noticed some pink liquid oozing out onto the plate, and thought it was just the juice from the chicken mixed with the red spices from the chicken that made it look that way, but then noticed the flesh was also pink, and gelatinous. This is totally unacceptable to me. How can you serve food that has the potential to make someone very sick? They really ought to check that food is not raw (I might not have such an issue if it were red meat or fish). So, that was quite upsetting and dangerous and I had to keep from losing my appetite. The other meats were good, but there was nothing that really impressed me so much that I'd come all the way down from South Beach. The food wasn't even spicy, like true Indian food should be. I'm not asking for it to be a 5 on a scale of 1-5 where 5 is very spicy, but it wasn't even a 1! It also seemed salty, as my friend and I were both very thirsty within 30 minutes of leaving the locale. Service, as I mentioned, was slow, and there were only 2 other tables, so that was a mystery. We did not get dessert as we had already wasted so much time here and we needed to be on our way. Normally, I would have rated this place 4 stars, but the warm mango lassi and the raw chicken were enough to bring my rating down to 2. Had the chicken not been raw, I would have given it 3 stars, warm mango lassi and all, so that should help you decide whether to come here or not. I will finish this up by saying there are definitely better places in South Florida, some of which offer lunch buffets or at least lunch specials. This place offers neither, so in the end, you spend a lot and you may not be all too impressed with your meal. If I am going to drive 20+ miles, I'd rather drive up to Broward County and get better prices and selection. read more

Is there a star lower than one? One Chicken biriyani was $23! That too half of the typical serving size. I did expect it to taste like biriyani - but it was just some curry mixed with basmati rice! At the end, they even added 18% gratuity without letting us know. (we were just two adults and a child eating). When asked about the gratuity they said- "we don't pay our employees - they just earn a living out of tips". This restaurant is there just to rip customers and employees off! Out right illegal and they should be shut down immediately and owners should be brought in front of the law of the land!!!! Don't even consider this restaurant unless you want to support an illegal establishment which tries to loot from customers by charging exorbitant amounts and serving low quality and quantity food! read more

Royal Challenge beer, Cheese Naan, Chicken Tikka Masala and Rasmalai whattttttt uppppppppppp?????!!!!! Visited Ayesha's Fine Dining yesterday for my father's birthday dinner and left a happy woman thanks to those fine dishes and beverage listed above as well as the restaurant's exceptional customer service. I can't understand why it's so hard to find good Indian food at a decent price but I'm pleased to include Ayesha's as a solid option. read more

Had a great lunch today at an amazing price! The lunch menu comes with a protein, vegetable, lentils rice and salad and naan bread. So much food yet I cleaned my plate. Food took a little bit but obviously it was being prepared fresh. Definitely will try again! read more

To be honest, the food was delicious and the service STARTED out good. It's a very long story, but my husband found a dead, cooked spider in his food. I swear. Worst of all, the waiter didn't handle it well. We were out with some friends (all in our mid-to-upper 20s) and he tried to tell my husband he was too young to know what good food or restaurant service is. He criticized and belittled him for the cooking and restaurant experience that he has, telling us that Indian food is cooked with respect. More respect than customers deserve, I guess. read more

Very bad hospitality I arrived 2:10 pm exactly and they close 3:00pm they first told me its closed already, then ask me only to take it to go, when I said I live far and I don't want to take the order to go, and argued that the restaurant closes at 3pm then they ask me to cancel and leave!! Seems didn't learn anything about treating customers and specially a customer like me who appreciate Indian food. With their non-functional business model they will be closed down soon! I advise you to take your money somewhere else Definitely not coming back! read more

Where to start?...The only thing better than the food is their welcoming staff and unparalleled attention to every patron's (anticipated) needs. I can't tear myself away from ordering the same delicious pairings - a glass of Pinot Noir, lamb samosas, chicken korma (medium spicy) and the cheese naan and no dessert because I have no room left! This review is way overdue. Love Ayesha's Fine Dining! read more

I ordered some vegetarian Indian food after a craving struck. I placed a to-go order and popped over to US1 to pick it up. An order of what turned out to be two vegetable samosas and a dinner portion of paneer tikka masala ended up costing me $25. TWENTY. FIVE. FRICKIN. DOLLARS. Food was good, but not life changing. I don't think I could possibly come back with these prices. They get a 3 because the food was decent, but NOT good value. xoxo read more

This place has great service and an impeccable selection of fine wines. The food holds true to traditional Indian cuisine. Don't miss out on the lunch special -great value-. Iv been coming here about once a month for the past 6 months and honestly I have never experienced any of the negatives mentioned in the reviews. Don't take anybody's word for it come and try it yourself. read more

I have had mixed experiences at this restaurant. I am glad to have an Indian restaurant around that is larger than a small shipping container (looking at you, Imlee). I have always found the ambiance to be a little off, as if something is always bothering the wait staff. Maybe it's the presence of customers, who knows. This place is definitely expensive, and they take advantage of the "fine dining" label by pricing accordingly. To me, the food is not the problem here. I have always enjoyed their food, as it is generally very flavorful and well-presented. The waitstaff always seem like they are not particularly interested in providing you with a good experience. I was here for dinner with some friends last night, and had a waiter throw our check book down on our table, giving us the impression of "just pay the damn check and get out." I can not think of a reason for him to feel that way, but we all agreed that he was very douchey about it. I have had other experiences in the past where things just felt...weird in the restaurant, with these examples being too far in the past to remember specifically. For the prices they charge, I would hope that the owner could find a way to make some hires that actually care about customer service. The reason this place only gets three stars is due to the service here, not the food. If you can not be thrown off by the wait staff and the prices, by all means, stop in and get some good Indian food. read more

I am very confused about all the good reviews here. Fake? My husband and I went to have lunch today, and the place was empty. Completely empty. My husband ordered chicken tikka masala, and I ordered a lamb dish. The naan was NOT soft and fluffy, it was stale and almost crackerlike. They charge for chutneys too. Now, my husband has had lots of Indian food, and his opinion was "meh." I am not a fan of leaving bad reviews just because I overpaid for mediocre food (which also happened today), but I found a HAIR in my lamb. It was entwined with some herb, and I pulled out both from my mouth. I debated whether I should notify the proprietor, and I finally did (I would want to know). He ran inside the kitchen, and there was a lot of yelling. He then offered to give me a replacement dish. I don't want a "replacement dish" from the same pot but I was like, "sure" to be agreeable. A bit later he came back WITH THE SAME HAIR on my appetizer plate, and accused me of leaving another hair on my appetizer plate. This became the last straw. I think he wanted me to think the hair I almost ate came off my own head, and not from their kitchen. Well, my hair was in a bun, and I did not appreciate the appalling customer service of lying to me on top of the nasty hygiene. I stopped being nice, refused all service, and only paid for my husband's food. And decided to leave them this bad review because no one else should be subjected to such mediocre food, high prices, disgusting kitchen, and shockingly rude customer service. read more

Spectacular food. Had a mix of pretty much everything - different types of naan, butter chicken, tandoori, samosas, tikka masala, I could go on and on. The butter chicken was the big winner of the night - the sauce was full of flavor and oh so creamy, and the chicken just melted in your mouth. The garlic naan was a nice pairing with the butter chicken since it kinda sorta helped your clean your plate. The samosas were also delicious, but sadly I've been spoiled by commercially prepared ones at Whole Foods so I kinda missed their sweet mango chutney on the side. Service was also very good. Staff was attentive and helpful with suggestions since it was our first time dining there. Sadly and most regrettably, 1 star taken away due to inescapable and overpowering smell that escorted us out the door and continued to stalk us for days to follow. I don't think I will ever eat here again unless I leave my handbag in the car, wear a shower cap, and discard my clothes (shoes included) on the way out. I know Indian cuisine is very.... aromatic? but this was just repulsive. My credit cards smelled like spices 2 days afterwards, as did the contents of my daughter's diaper bag. I wish they would figure out a better air filtration system to avoid this kind of thing. This place is going to be strictly take out from here on forward. read more

For my wife's birthday, my daughter ordered a lengthy list of dishes. The food was ready for pickup exactly on time, and when I entered, the staff were smiling and very helpful. The food was excellent, and they'd included a thoughtful and beautiful birthday note. That made my wife's birthday dinner a memorable one. read more

This newly opened slot in what was previously a pretty nondescript old strip mall has exciting splashes of color and a modern India feel. For starters, after the expected poppadoms and house condiment that was nice and spicy washed down with a taj mahal beer. The freshly baked keema naam followed the spicy paneer cheese starter. Delicate fresh herbs made the naam exquisite. We had the saffron mussels and my favorite lamb with spinach. The portions were adequate and more than enough at two entrees for two people, but nothing left to take home. Definately now my new favorite ! read more

Pathetic experience We were a party of three. First member had barely ordered when the bald guy who was taking our order just walked off. We were left wondering as to what happened. After we told another server that our order was not complete, bald guy comes and takes our order. My mom has ordered an entree but she gets the bread which none of us ordered! After our request, the bread gets changed to another one which my dad ordered! By the way, I and my dad are yet to get our entree. So my mom is left with a entree but bread is the one ordered by my dad. Anyways she starts eating as it is too late and she is too hungry. The bald guy then comes and blames us for ordering incorrectly! That and the delay in getting our food completely ruined our dinner. I would not say that I do not recommend restaurant, but please avoid the bald guy. read more

Love love love this place! Best butter chicken I've had. Times if the location are off...like they don't open Mondays but worth waiting for Tuesday. The cheese naan is amazing. Great spot for Indian cuisine, great service as well. read more

Ayesha Fine Dining - Indian Near Me - Miami, Florida

Well we were on our way back from Florida and needed some indian food before everything closes down so I found this restaurant on yelp. I didn't pay much attention to reviews since it was getting late. Went inside there was a person who looked like a head chef. He was pretty courteous and made sure we felt comfortable. The fun starts after that we ordered Tandoori Platter and it was pathetic the chicken was so hard that we felt like we are eating chewing gum. We ate half of it only. The most disturbing part was that it was pretty expensive. The other dishes were OK. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. I travel a lot and I have eaten at Indian restaurants in almost every big city but this is one of the few worst and expensive dinner I have had in a long time. Trust me Indian tandoori dishes don't taste like this. read more

3rd visit here and once again, fantastic food and service was top notch! Wife and I are/were fully satisfied! read more

I ordered food from here for delivery one day when I was injured and couldn't drive anywhere. Delivery was pretty fast considering I don't live that close. On to the food now! I ordered their chicken tikka masala with jasmine rice, garlic naan, and I tried spinach paneer for the first time ever. Everything was delicious! I'm a huge fan of Indian food and this place was pretty good. The paneer was delicious!! It came with a dipping sauce that went perfectly with it. Garlic naan was delicious and fluffy, garlic taste was nice and strong. The tikka masala was really good. The chicken was not rubbery or hard like in other places I've been to in the past, this chicken was perfectly cooked and the sauce was of course delicious. It'll seem pricey (especially if it's just for one person), I paid $36 for my meal (minus delivery) but this food lasted me for four separate meals, well worth the money in my opinion. Definitely interested in visiting this place in person in the future! read more

I have been to this place a few times already and feel safe to say I genuinely enjoy Ayesha. I usually order the veggie platter. You get a combo of 3 dishes, naan, salad and basmati rice for approximately $15 plus tip. The food is always tasty and fresh. There are some cons though. The lunch platters are only available from Tuesday - Thursday and are not an option to take out. Also, they close on Mondays. I would give them 5 stars except for the prices $. They are a bit steep. read more

For south Indians (if you guys prefer this resturant you will be totally disappointed) this restaurant is not a good option. In Biryani it has nuts, kismis & tomatoes. When we ordered our dishes, it came after one hour. The quantity of the currys are very less too and doesn't deserve the price esp in quantities. This restaurants sucks huge. Don't prefer it if you guys are in hurry... Damn it sucks...... I usually does not write the reviews.. Hope this may help you guys..... Totally disappointed about this restaurant.. I don't want to give 1 star too for this restaurant..I need to give 0 star... Priceless and worthless restaurant ever which I had in my life... The staff inside this resturant is not good and service is also not good. If we are complaining to manager he too is not even reaponding accordingly.. Think twice before going to this resturant. Its better to go to thai or mexican resturant in this area... read more

The food here was pretty good, as well as the service. The reason I didn't give the review more stars was the fact that it was ridiculously cold inside, and the place smelled like a sewer. I could not figure out what that disgusting smell was, but it almost ruined our lunch. We came in on a Sunday afternoon at about 2 PM. The place was not busy, the waiter was very nice, everything was fine... Except for the restaurant itself. Maybe they had the air down so low to try and cover up the awful smell. But it didn't work. Can't say as I will come rushing back here anytime soon. read more

I'm very disappointed. I read the reviews awhile back and always wanted to try. Today I decided to go in for a little take out. First of the customer service was horrendous, they act like they were doing me a favor by talking to me. Then I sat there for 30 min waiting for a lentil soup. Never once was I given a courtesy update on the food, I had to get up and ask where was the food. I felt like the customers in there were being treated with great attention and customer service but I wasn't. Not sure if it's because I was with my Haitian American husband with dread locks but I'm leaving that there. Food was ok. read more

Even if Miami had more Indian options, Ayesha's would still stand out amongst the crowd. This place is my jam. We get amazing service every time we walk in. Staff are attentive and the owner is always around to make sure things are running smoothly. The atmosphere is clean and classy but still casual. Plus, Bollywood dance scenes on the TVs. The food is fantastic. The saffron lettuce wraps are refreshing but spicy and the samosa chat is some of the best I've had. Their spicier and more pepper filled curries are flavor packed: Apna Curry, vindaloo, all great. Their lamb rogan josh... Agh amaze. Plus a great wine list and great naan. Can't beat that. Prices are reasonable but not cheap. Totally worth it. Been to their other location on Key Biscayne, which is also good. But the food here is just a little more on point and the dining room more open and sophisticated. read more

Very very disappointed in the food- the portions were grossly under represented for what the price was. For example the paneer chili had 10 dice sized pieces of paneer for $11 bucks- and to dissimulate just how little they're giving you- they put onion and green pepper. The appetizer Chicken Tikka offers you 6 small chunks of chicken and a lot of onion & cabbage for $15- 1 star for the samosas that were good & correctly portioned. The service was good as was the naan. But that was is- ‍ read more

Nice location, polite employees healthier options for those that seek it The Lamb Rogan & chicken tikka were just perfect!! My last experience wasn't good and today I updated my review to 5 stars because our meal today was perfect specially the garlic naan. The employees a care and they offered to make Indian dishes not on menu if ordered in advance which we truly appreciate and value!!! Our server Manish was just awesome, caring and attentive and made sure he addressed everything that went wrong from my last visit. Not because I asked but because he remembered, if this is not great service, I don't know what is. read more
