I ordered the veggie samosas and the Chicken 65 biriyani. I was disappointed not to get any chutney for the samosas, but I will say that the samosas were adequately spiced that I didn't need to dip mine into my favorite mint cilantro chutney. The chicken 65 biriyani was delicious and an interesting alternative to standard chicken biriyani. The food tasted fresh and well-seasoned, and the taste of fresh curry leaves shone through. I would happily order from here again. Or, better yet, try it out in person. I read on yelp that this place has a breakfast (and lunch and dinner) buffet. I really hope to have a reason to be in the area for brunch, because I really want to try it!

In just the 4 days I was in Florida, I came here twice! Living in Louisiana, good South Indian food…read moreis good to come by so we were delighted to find this spot! Our first visit, straight from the airport, we opted for breakfast classics: mysore masala dosa, idly vada combo and Chana poori. My husband and I shared everything and really enjoyed it. The food was fresh, authentic and some of the best tasting SI food we have had in a long time. We finished the meal office by splitting a filter coffee and it was the perfect closing to the meal. On our second visit I wanted more of their delicious sambar so I opted for the sambar vada and my husband orders the chicken curry with paratha. Again, the food was fresh, authentic and tasty. The chicken tasted like a homemade plate and the sambar and vada were piping hot, perfect for a chilly day. My husband even ordered a chicken Kati roll and chicken 65 biryani to take home. Unfortunately their dum biryani is only available a few days a week, so that wasn't an option. He told me that the biryani was good but he would have preferred a dum style and that the chicken in the paratha wrap was tender and flavorful. This place is not fancy. Everything is served in paper plates and you order on a kiosk. This was totally fine with us. The only thing we wished was that the parathas were freshly made, and they appeared to be frozen/manufactured. This does however make sense when you consider the very reasonable cost of their food. They also offer both lunch and breakfast buffets with veg and meat options for under $20. We missed these but would love to come back and try. The staff and service were very warm and caring. I hope more people expand their palates and embrace this place as it offers great service and food at an accessible and affordable price and location.

Could have used a little more as I left hungry even after a spring roll appetizer. The rolls were pretty good too. Make sure to add Naan bread for a good trifecta. Things to focus on for five stars: 1) torn up advertising flag at front corner. How does management show arrive for work each day and not recognize this? 2) garden area outside front entrance needs attention. Fountain not working, weeds. These things may deter first time visitors from coming inside. 3) need more rice with the curry dishes.

On my quest to try another Indian restaurant, I found myself in the neighborhood and decided to…read moregive Naans Indian Bar and Grill a try. Hidden back behind another restaurant. It's housed in a former Wendy's restaurant, and I can see why it closed. It had no visibility. The tiny signs on the building for Naans were not legible so unless you knew the restaurant, people just drive by and think it's abandoned. We arrived 30-minutes after opening and there were 2 cars in the parking lot. My first thought was they must do a great takeout. Entering the restaurant, it was nothing fancy. I'm more interested in the food, flavors, and service. The server/hostess was pleasant, but not at all attentive or checked up on us once. I ordered the garlic naan and chicken tikki Marsala. My partner asked which items are vegan, she really didn't know. At Rasoi in Ybor, the server was asked the same question and she immediately pointed out all the vegan items. There were at least eight dishes that were vegan. Only having one choice and waited 15 minutes to order, we were stuck and he ordered the Dal Tudka. The meals were delicious. The sauces and medium spices were perfect in both meals. The garlic naan was perfect for dipping. I liked the chicken was cut into cubes and didn't require a knife. And, the prices were so reasonable for the amount of food you received. My letdowns were the reason for only 3 stars. They had 8 different guests order takeout. The only customer in there when we arrived ordered by phone and waited 30 additional minutes. He said to the owner he left his house 20 minutes after placing his ordering. There were additional wait times for 7 of the 8 people who called in takeout orders. Our wait time was equally long. There seemed to be ample help in the back from where I was sitting. We were in the restaurant for 65 minutes from the time we walked in until the time we left. Nothing screamed ambience, experience, as well as so few orders for this to occur. One of my biggest letdowns in any sit down restaurant, other than a fast food restaurant is bottled drinks. I like water served in a glass, with ice, a straw, and refills. I'd like to say I would give them another chance, but my partner was hellbent not returning due to the 1 vegan option and service. It's a shame such wonderful flavors were overshadowed by less than great service and extensive wait times for us and the guests who ordered takeout.

The veggie samosas were so good the sauce to dip were a great combination. The butter chicken at medium heat was the perfect amount of spicy and a hint of sweet with creamy sauce to dip the naan in. The chicken I wish was a little more tender but still good. I also got a Mango Lassi to clear my palette which was so smooth. Definitely would get it again.

This is moi fave Indian Restaurant in the Tampa area. They make Authentic Punjabi here…read more They are also the only place I have found that makes the family size Biryani. They also make a shrimp & a fish Biryani here. The garlic naan is the best I have ever had in my life as is the Lamb Saag. It's truly Authentic Pubjabi. They also have a buffet here every day from 11:30 to 2:30 and they also have one on the weekends & are open till 11pm on Saturday OuiOui. The menu is vast, and we have been hitting it hard. Some of our take out dishes were just ok, but most we have tried are 2.DIE.4. The good thing is they will alter the spice level for you so mostly everything we have tried we would order again with a different spice level in the future. We have mostly been getting take out but now that I pretty much know what I want, Im eating it dine in now, so I can get some photos posted of these amazing Authentic Punjabi dishes. I really like the lovely little table by the window with the views of the lake... They even have fresh coconuts here. They chopped one & brought it to me with a straw. My fave. Love fresh coconuts OuiOui :)... I didn't realize that they have several locations in the Tampa area but yes, they do. However, we have only visited this location so far. Added to moi lists of fave restaurants in the Tampa Area. Will Return. Highest Recommendations.

It was well packaged, and it was absolutely delicious! I ordered the chole bhatura and the butter chicken bowl. The butter chicken bowl came with rice, the chole bhatura did not (but of course it came with its fried bread). Both dishes were very good, but the chole bhatura was better. In fact, my very picky daughter ended up eating a bunch of it, and she has previously refused to try Indian food! I'll happily return for more delicious takeout Indian food.

This place is inside of an indiana grocery, for candy, condiments, meats, fast oven/microwave meals, seasonings, desserts, scents. You are also able to dine in, it's about 5-8 tables . They plastic wrap all their food when ordering today, which is great and thought because who wants it to fall while driving home and spilling. The vibe is authentic and they make great use of the space they are in. it was about a thirty minute wait for tuesdays deal. it's a small, family owned local business, bring your patience and understanding !

Food smashed into the dirty carpet, menus smeared with grease, slimy handprints on every glass and plastic surface. Is the place cleaned by toddlers?! If the missed health standards aren't enough to deter people (wish I'd read those beforehand), the layers of grime should be a red flag. If that's what customers are seeing, imagine the kitchen. Also, the food was bad. Like everything. Grisly gnarled chicken, inedible, dry cornbread, and nasty mac and cheese. I didn't try anything else because it was so gross. My family members also hated their food. Staff waited until the last minute to refill things as it seemed like someone is opting to cut some sharp corners. Again, I felt bad for everyone working there. It seemed busy enough to turn a profit, yet there was something depressing about the vibe. I came here last year with my dad, and it wasn't like this, so it was disappointing. We were relieved to get out for under $100, but it was just nightmare fuel. Not worth it. Owners need to be more involved in operations here.
