We did take out so can't rate atmosphere other than it appears clean. Bigger than usual menu, some interesting options we have never seen at other Indian restaurants. The food was really good!!!! We used to have to drive 30 min for good Indian food, now we only have to go 8. The owner said (as my husband left) "You'll be back!" And he's right. Great food! read more

Indian Bistro - Naan, chicken tikka masala, samosas, rice & chili cauliflower (also had a meat free version of the masala) ALL REALLY VERY GOOD!!! - Indian Near Me - St. Pete Beach, Florida

SO FABULOUS!!! Like they took classic recipes and upgraded them. It was a sweet little place with authentic and HIGH QUALITY flavor!! We're mostly vegans/vegetarians, and the options were so plentiful & diverse!! We LOVED the paneer tikka masala, and the Chana Palak was delicious! We shared everything & the vegetable biryani was a big hit. (I took the pics after the crowd descended into the food - sorry).The naan was predictably mouth watering. Everything was WONDERFUL and we'll return soon. Of note - very reasonable prices and the personal service was ideal, read more

This place absolutely deserves 5 stars. The naan alone?? Unreal. Perfectly warm, soft, and buttery with just the right amount of crisp on the edges -- I could've eaten like five baskets of it and been happy. And the chicken tikka masala... wow. The sauce was so rich and flavorful without being too heavy, and the chicken was super tender and actually tasted fresh (not dry at all, which is rare). Every bite with the naan was literally perfect. Not to mention the amazing service, which was super efficient and really nice; everything came out quickly, and the staff was genuinely friendly! You know it's good when you're already planning what you're ordering next time before you even leave. If you like Indian food, you have to try this place! read more

Extremely nasty people. Went in to place an order to go. No one was there. Grabbed 3 napkins because just learned my father died. Needed to step outside to cry for a moment before going back in to order. Person working came running out and said you can't take napkins. I said my father just died. He said "f"$& your father". So yeah we didn't go back in to place a very larger to go order. read more

Best Indian food in all of Florida! Chef Khan took the BEST care of us and made us a delightful meal. We ordered the tandoori chicken which came extra hot, smoking on a cast iron, with charred onions and green peppers. The chicken was SO tender and falling off the bone. We also got the paneer tikka masala spicy and the sauce was incredibly flavorful. Highly recommend this place for your Indian food fix! 10/10 is an understatement! read more

Very disappointing experience. The menu said the chicken tikka comes with papad, but we were told to pay extra. A vague "custom item" was also added to our bill. When we questioned it, the host became aggressive and banged on the table. Completely unprofessional and a total mood killer. read more

Amazing food! The garlic naan was perfect - crispy, buttery, and just the right amount of garlic. The samosas were piping hot and delicious, and the chana masala was the best we've had (and we eat a lot of Indian food). Service was fast and attentive. Definitely worth a visit! read more

Wow! I mean delicious WOW!!! Stopped in for lunch "take out" and did not disappoint. I ordered 2 lamb dishes- Indian curry and the Biryani rice. The lamb was cooked perfectly, not dry. The basmati rice was light & fluffy. I ordered it medium heat which was the right amount of heat. All came with a side of raita (yogurt sauce with India spices). It was thinner than I am used to yet the flavors were good! They have large selection of Vegan options too that I can't wait to tell my vegan friends on Yelp! The service was outstanding- very kind. Offered water while I waited The chef generously filled the containers to the rim and more. The location while small is nicely decorated, clean and newly remodeled with new floors and wooden tables. Served water in stylish glass colored bottles. They have a nice selection of Indian beer too. We will have to dine in during our next visit. read more

This is the first time i've ordered from Indian Bistro, as I will usually drive to Tampa for a Tikka Masala with chicken. I wanted to find a place closer to home for take out. I put a small amount on my plate, and took a bite of the "chicken" expecting to find the tender flavorful chicken I am accused to eating. Instead I bit into the most disgusting, hard piece of something I couldn't quite identify. Fatty hard connective tissue, honestly I am not quite sure. My fiancé has a butter shop and has been cutting meat for over 30 years. I worked in his shop for years, so I am very familiar with cuts of meats and poultry. This was not edible. I threw the entire meal into the trash. I don't take writing a bad review likely however when I went to Indian Bistro's page I found that I am not the first person to have this experience. I would highly recommend that you do not order from them, and if you are really craving some Indian drive to Tampa to get it. I will because I never want to be disgusted by the food it eat nor do I want to pay for something that I wouldn't even feed to an animal. read more

Indian Bistro - Tikka Masala with chicken - Indian Near Me - St. Pete Beach, Florida

This restaurant is delicious and everything is made fresh. There has been significant damage locally from recent hurricanes. Despite other businesses in this shopping area not being open, the owner has worked had to make the space inviting, clean and welcoming. We especially enjoyed having a wide and outstanding variety of vegan dishes. Thank you! read more

One of the worst experiences. I came to this place around 4:45 pm and there were 3 workers in the restaurant, and 2 of them were eating and told me to wait 20 min, they need to finish their food . LOOOL. I've never experienced this in my life. And it's not like the place closes before the dinner, it's open all day till the evening. The food was very average. I had chicken korma, my friend had butter chicken. Both were very liquidish, and all meat was dark, tasted like raw. Garlic nan was not really garlicky. In the end waitress asked "if you leave tip, do you have cash?" Like wtf. Also, when she was serving the food, her fingers were touching the rice. I'm never visiting this place again. If you are in that area , consider Taste of Punjab. read more

The food is so good. I highly recommend. We had the butter chicken and a spicy cauliflower dish. And the naan was good too!

Really good!! The food was amazing, the service was impeccable and the space was nicely decorated! We jumped on our food so fast I was unable to get a picture of the before but here is the after in a to-go box (garlic naan and papad bread)! 10/10 would go to again if in the area! read more

Food was tasty butter naan quite buttery the chef is hardworking and personable the food was out in a flash after we ordered had the Buttered Lamb & Chicken Tikka We will be back read more

If I could leave zero stars I would. We had a Groupon for this place and went to go pick it up. 30 min later we got home just to realize that we had zero rice for 3 entrees. I called and they said that it was our fault for not checking the bag which was stapled and that they were dealing with an another angry lady and got confused. They refused to take any money off of our order even though we now have to drive another 30 min. They claim to only have 2 people working there so they couldn't deliver the food. I don't buy it! How do you run a restaurant with 2 people for tables, to go food, and cooking? Not possible!! Steer clear of this place!!!! read more

Fantastic food! You can tell the staff truly care about the food they are providing for customers.

Simple deco but the food is on par with other Indian restaurant. The portion seems small, but actually quite filling. read more

There's a few haters for this restaurant which almost made me drive 30 mins to go to another Indian restaurant. I'm glad I was feeling lazy tonight because that was delicious. I got the butter masala (hot) and the tikka masala (mild) with some garlic naan bread. The hot was a perfect level of spice, sometimes it's too hot and I can't eat it with my low tolerance. I picked my order up at 8pm & there were some people dining in the restaurant which is also a good sign! Staff friendly. Highly recommend for Indian takeaway on St.Pete Beach! read more

Indian Bistro - NE1. Butter Masala NE2. Tikka Masala B3. Garlic Naan - Indian Near Me - St. Pete Beach, Florida

Love this place. The food and service are excellent. Great vegan options and the lamb dishes are to die for. We call it a little "jewel" of St.Pete Beach. read more

This review is for delivery. The only good thing I can say is everything in my order was hot. Literally, the worst Indian food I've ever had. I ordered the palak (spinach) for $19.99, the yellow lentils for $17.99, samosas, and naan for $6.99. My total $50 plus tax and a $3.99 delivery fee. (I'm not including my tip to the DoorDasher.) I thought that seemed quite expensive for vegetarian Indian fare. But I was really in the mood, so I bit the bullet. The samosas were fine. Nothing to write home about. But the two entrees each had about an inch of grease floating on the top. I drained both containers, then stirred them. The taste was truly awful. Even the naan was bland and greasy. Never again. read more

Support this Chef Owned, rare find, Indian Restaurant in St Pete Beach. Delicious, authentic, Indian cuisine, accompanied by great service in an intimate atmosphere. Hats off to this hard-working, small business owner! read more

DELICIOUS- lovely ambiance, service and great hours! So glad we stopped for dinner! we will be back soon! we had the good fortune of meeting the owner and she treated us like family read more

This is our second time here and if anything, the food was better this time around! The staff was super friendly and very helpful in assisting when making a decision on what to eat. Thus far, we've had spinach paneer, chicken korma & rogan josh. All have been excellent! The desserts are delicious and make the perfect ending to the meal. We ordered dinner for two and still have lunch for tomorrow. As a previous reviewer stated, this place is small, that is why they call it a Bistro. We order to go so seating isn't an issue. Definitely deserves better than a one star rating unless the only thing somebody is rating on is having some place to sit. read more

Amazing authentic Indian food. I ordered Palak Chicken (chicken Saag) & Naan bread. Absolute perfection! read more

Worst experience I have had with customer service. I ordered online and when I arrived they 1. couldnt find my order, and 2. told me that they did not have it available today. They wasted my time and money by not communicating like they should have. read more

Their food is excellent, as is the service. I highly recommend this restaurant! Best Naan I have ever had.

Not sure this restaurant is going to survive. Visited 3 times in last 4 months...always closed for some reason. last time HVAC issues , then they were remodeling and today chef hadn't shown up at noon.. Can't run a business like this.... read more

I really wanted to like this place as I'm always by the beach and love good curry/Indian but my lunch of chicken tikka masala was just ok. It didn't taste like any other masala I've ever had and even though I ordered it spicy, it was bland and strangely thick and red in color, more like an Italian tomato sauce with some curry powder thrown in. It was even red in color like spaghetti sauce, not deep creamy orange like most tikka masalas I've had. At least the chicken was tender. Unfortunately, the naan was also subpar: greasy and dense, not hot or fluffy at all. The ambience was lacking in any kind of Indian feeling (a boring white box with no decor) including the strange elevator-like music playing. There was no real celebration of the culture, the colors, the music, the inspiration of India. The "blah" food sadly reflected this disconnect. Maybe if you've never had Indian cuisine, you'd like this place not knowing what you're missing. read more

I had a fabulous Waitress name Lisa. Her service was excellent!!!! It's because of her I will come back again. Malik read more

At the end of an average at best meal the server advised us that the restaurant keeps all credit card tips and all she keeps are cash tips. Yet the credit card receipt shows tips suggestions on it with a total for both. We so hoped it would be better than it was. read more

St Pete Beach's newest Indian Bistro is our family's go-to favorite. The hospitality is on point and every dish we've had has been delicious! Service is fast and dining room is clean. They'll soon have beer but bringing your own adult beverage is also an option (with a minimal fee). So glad Chef Abhi has brought his wonderful food to our beach! read more

This is the best Indian food .Service good,garlic naan yes.Amazing place and well worth our drive.Looking forward to returning.

I will not patronize again. Ordered tikka masala when they first opened - it was absolutely delicious. Tried it again a few weeks later, and it was just meh - there were large pieces of celery in it the second time. Weird. Also, it was challenging to get through on the phone. I had to call about 5 times before I actually got through to a person and not a recording that said I'd reached a voicemail that was not set up. I tried to try them a third time, but continued to get a recording about the voicemail was not set up. I finally called the Clearwater location and asked for the number to the SPB location, and they gave me the same number I'd been trying to call. When I told them this, they gave me another number. I called the second number and got a stupid recording to leave a message. I'm done with trying to patronize this location. read more

Excellent food and service - We showed up on their doorstep with a party of 7, including some vegans and vegetarians, and they took great care of us. I would recommend Indian Bistro for take-away or sit-down dining to locals and tourists alike. read more

Best Indian food I've had. Great, small location. Friendly staff, large portions. Absolutely recommend.

Person running the restaurant was super nice and the food was great. Would definitely go again
