    Indian beer and other drinks
    Krys P.

    After covid it's pretty hard to find Indian buffets anymore, something I miss not because I eat a lot, but because I get to sample a variety of dishes. Happy to report that Bawarchi Biryanis continues to offer buffet. In fact, several a week with different themes. Wed is biryani night, and Thur is dosa. We went to the Sunday lunch buffet which was totally satisfying, in all quantity, quality and variety. The place is really bright and clean, and the service is nice. The waiters are patient in explaining things to us and quick to refill any dishes or cutlery. There is a good variety of dishes, salad, appetizers, vegetarian and meat entrees, biryani and desserts. There's even orange juice and chai. I love that they have pani puri. It's a delicious street snack that is too much work to make at home, and even if occasional Indian restaurants have it it tends to be overpriced. Here I can enjoy to my heart's content. Some of the favorite among my group of friends: the tender goat curry, the spicy wings, the creamy butter chicken, the paper-thin papadam, the comforting semiya payasam dessert. My only complain is that the naan would be softer. Be aware that a lot of the food do pack some heat, as they have many Indian customers and cater to the authentic taste. You can add some mint chutney to take off the heat a bit, and dishes like the birayni and butter chicken do not pack any heat. Yum, just writing this review makes me want to go back already. And I am definitely checking out their other events. They are quite active on IG so you can check their offerings there.

    Great buffet that I'm glad exists in Miami, a city which is pretty lacking in good Indian food. A friend from work and her husband who have been here a few times took me to try the weekend buffet and it was delicious. We arrived just after opening time so the whole line up of fresh carbs, curries, biryanis, and other items were hot and ready for the picking. The restaurant was pretty no frills which I really like- just get up grab your utensils and plates, and dig in. At the front are typical carbs like naan and bhatura (a puffed fried bread), and a tasty spicy sauced chicken wings that might have been a special for the day. The curry selection wasn't extensive but everything they had was tasty and well seasoned; the butter chicken was of course creamy and rich, the chicken curry was packed with flavor and a moderate spice, and the goat curry (my favorite curry at most Indian restaurants I go to) was full of meaty flavor and fall off the bone tender goat chunks. The biryanis, served in the big metal cooking containers, were cooked nicely with both meat (chicken) and veggie options to please everyone, not super savory but with a nice mild flavor that is easy to eat on its own or paired with yogurt or some other items. Dessert wasn't my favorite, between the chocolate mousse and the mango custard which seemed to be well liked but I avoided just because I'm not a fan of mango, but between those two and the soft serve ice cream maker, there was enough to satisfy everyone. To top it all off, there was a big container of complementary chai that we tried on the way out, which I learned was Irani chai made by boiling the milk until it turns rich, creamy, and a big tangy like yogurt giving the chai a nice depth of flavor.

    I had just smelled strong curry coming out of an Indian family residence when I found this place nearby on Google. It was deserted on entry, but I was fascinated by the Blue lighting inside. I had their lamb rogenjosh with Jasmine rice which was very delicious. I was treated exquisitely by the friendly staff whom seem to be a family. Cool that this place was in the area, as I had not expected this. VERY good food though!!!

    Flavorful and authentic Halal Indian restaurant! Huge menu variety with south and North Indian dishes. Many different biryani and curry options. We enjoyed the tikka dosa. Samosa chaat was really good with great spice. Mango lassi was fantastic. The lamb dum biryani came with a side of extra spicy sauce and raita (yogurt), and we thought the flavor was great with the extra spicy sauce added. Appreciated having the option to increase or decrease the spice. Overall it's a classic Indian restaurant with good food.

    Bawarchi's is an Indian chain restaurant and I've heard it's good in some cities. The decor is lackluster along with service. The prices and quantity of the food is better here than other Indian restaurants but if the food isn't the best then there's no point. The gobi manchurian was the best dish. The paneer butter masala medium spicy was oily and the paneer pieces were hard a rock that you couldn't eat much of it although quantity was great. Garlic naan was good. The podi dosa was one of the spiciest I've ever had that we couldn't eat it. They didn't have coconut chutney to go along with it. No complimentary papadum to start off with. Wouldn't be back.

    The best Indian in miami. I am Indian. Everywhere else sucks in comparison. This is authentic and the closest to what I used to eat out in the mid Atlantic in all of south Miami. The cost is cheaper than main Miami places and the portions are quite large. Love making it out here for a taste of home and some culture. The place itself is nothing special inside. The service is okay. But that's the point! It's authentic. The food is the best part. A hole in the wall

Our group paired our entrées with mushrooms, latkes, and a truffle corn that I could honestly bathe in. We ended the night with their perfectly branded crème brûlée topped with blackcurrant caviar. They even served it in branded Papi Steak tins -- such a fun and delicious way to finish the meal. The food was perfection and the service was top-tier. I hear I have to come back for Papi's chocolate cake!

I had the Miami spice menu which consisted of the Chicken 65 starter, Tandoori Shrimp and Kheer Brûlée. The sauce on the chicken had the perfect amount of spice and was so juicy. Along with the chicken we also got vegetable samosas, which were so flavorful and crispy. The tandoori shrimp came with a side of rice and garlic naan and was very delicious and generous in portion size. We also ordered the chicken tikka masala entree which paired perfectly with the garlic naan and was our favorite dish. The kheer brûlée was a perfect way to end the meal; it wasn't overly sweet and the combination of flavor and texture made it a really satisfying treat. To drink we had a mango lassi, which was creamy and refreshing. The restaurant itself was beautifully decorated, and all of the staff was so welcoming.

Texture Every bite had something going on--tender lamb, crunchy lettuce, soft wrap, and smooth sauce. No boring bites here. Portion More than filling. Honestly, they hook it up. And shoutout to the extra fork in the bag--because once it starts falling apart, you're not letting a single bite go to waste. Overall Experience This is one of those meals you keep thinking about after you leave. Great people, great food, and that feeling of "I'm definitely coming back." By the time you get to the last few bites, you're lowkey hoping there's more hiding in the wrap or at the bottom of the bag. That extra fork wasn't just clutch--it was necessary. Nothing gets left behind. If you're in Miami, DCG is a must. Don't think twice. See you again, soon
