We can't get through a visit without ordering the Tandoori Chicken Tikka. It comes out on a sizzling, hot platter with vegetables that are just as tasty as the chicken itself. The rice is perfect, as is the butter sauce that comes with it. Perfect every time. The space is always clean and cozy. We're booth lovers, but even when we've had to sit at a table, it's been spacious and comfortable. From the moment you walk in the door, you feel welcomed and appreciated. Servers take the time to answer any questions you have without making you feel like a bother. Kindness abounds and seems to be a priority in this establishment and that's what keeps us coming back for more!

I went to Mr Chef with a friend and honestly... it feels like a hidden gem in Deltona!…read more As soon as we walked in, the customer service stood out right away. The two young guys at the front were so kind and welcoming--it just felt good to be there. I'm big on customer service, and they really nailed it. The food was sooo good. Somehow they made vegetables and tofu taste amazing (which is not always easy lol). I loved the mango lassi, and the tofu dish we got--it had this orange sauce--was seriously delicious. I also liked how it felt very family-oriented and comfortable, not stuffy at all. I'll definitely be going back with my family and trying more things next time. For now, I can just say I really enjoyed it and I'm glad we found it!

I recently visited Ammrit Indian Cuisine and had an overall positive experience. It's easy to see…read morewhy it's popular in the area. The menu offers a wide range of traditional Indian dishes, and I really appreciate that they allow you to customize the spice level to your preference. That makes it accessible whether you're new to Indian food or someone who enjoys a little heat. The daily lunch buffet is also a big plus, especially if you want to sample different dishes in one visit. The food itself is good and well-prepared, with solid flavors and generous portions. That said, it does feel like the kitchen leans toward catering to the general market. The spice profiles are toned down, and while that makes the dishes approachable, it slightly softens the authenticity you might expect from a more traditional Indian restaurant. One subtle indicator of that broader appeal is the wine list -- something you don't often see emphasized in more classic, traditional Indian establishments. That being said, Ammrit strikes a reasonable balance. It offers familiar, comfortable Indian cuisine that works well for a wide audience while still delivering recognizable flavors and quality ingredients. If you're looking for dependable Indian food in South Daytona with flexible spice options and a welcoming atmosphere, it's definitely worth a visit.

Well, unfortunately, everything we tasted was way too spicy for our taste. They do give you a complementary bottle of water when you come in and that helps. Anyway, if you can handle the spicy heat it's a great deal for the buffet. Food was hot, service was attentive and the buffet is smallish but has some nice choices.

The entire facility is absolutely immaculate and just may be the cleanest restaurant in Central Florida. The Lamb Vindaloo as well as the Chicken Tikka Masala were amazingly delicious and the Garlic Naan was steaming hot and it perfectly complimented the meal.

I am looking forward to returning so that I can enjoy their Goat Chettinadu and the Murgh Kali Mirch Kebab. **10 out of 10 Stars** I highly recommend this absolute gem of culinary mastery!

Although they have a banner outside that says Rashi's Kitchen, it is misleading when you reach the location as the thai restaurants name is still there. The plaza looks a bit run down. The 5 stars are specifically for food. We dined in here on Father's Day. The menu has a good variety of vegetarian dishes. The cook, Mr. Ram Ratan did a fantastic job. Everything we tried was good. Special mention for Chole Bhatura and Daal Batti. We always crave good Indian food being away from India, but my uncle & aunt visiting from India also loved the food. The quality and taste were both great. The quantity was good and the food was fresh. Will definitely be ordering or dining here again

We tried this restaurant for the first time on a Friday evening. It's a small spot tucked into a…read morestrip mall, and they were pretty busy when we arrived. The ambiance is just okay--nothing particularly special--and it was noticeably warm inside. With Indian food already being on the spicier side, a cooler temperature would definitely make the dining experience more comfortable. We ordered the rogan josh, palak chaat, samosas, chicken biryani, Jaipur dosa, garlic naan, and a few drinks. Service started off a bit slow--we waited a while for our drinks--but once things got going, the food came out fairly quickly. One thing I really appreciated was the variety of chutneys served with the appetizers. That was a great touch, especially since many places tend to be pretty minimal with those. Everything we ordered tasted really good, and you can tell the flavors were well done. See photos below. Our total came to $105 for everything, which felt reasonable for the amount of food we got. Overall, the food is definitely worth it. Next time, though, we'll probably go with takeout to skip the wait and enjoy it at home.

The space is modern, clean, and really welcoming--easy to relax and enjoy your time there. Such a diverse menu with options like Butter Chicken, Tikka Masala, Korma, and various appetizers and entrees, with popular items including curries, various Naan, Samosas, Chai and Mango Lassi. We started with cauliflower Manchurian, onion pakoda, samosa chaat, and Chicken 65--everything came out fresh, crispy, and full of flavor. For the entrees, we tried the mixed meat platter, the curries were extremely delicious from madras, tikka, makhani to Kerala fish curry, and the Chettinad cashew coconut chicken curry with black pepper. Each dish was so flavorful fresh and the spices were so aromatic. The naan was excellent across the board--garlic, classic, cheese and especially the date Peshwari naan... SO delicious. Slightly sweet, soft, and honestly a must-order. Yum yum yum! We ended the meal with dessert & chai. Had the traditional dessert ras malai, gulab jamun, carrot halwa, and rabri a new dessert that the chef was making all with masala chai--such a warm, sweet and flavorful finish. We even had the soomph palate finisher at the end. Exceeded our expectations what a treat from the moment we walked in to the ending! Huge thank you to Varun and the entire team for the incredible service and delicious food. You can really feel the love & care in every detail. We'll definitely be back soon.

Imli Indian Kitchen and Bar 330 S Atlantic Ave, Ormond…read moreBeach, FL 32176 If you're driving along A1A with the ocean on one side and those beautiful high-rises lining the coast, do yourself a favor and make a stop at Imli Indian Kitchen and Bar. This place is a gem that delivers on every level--from ambiance to flavor to service. The restaurant itself is spotless, modern, and inviting, with a relaxed upscale vibe that fits perfectly with its beachside surroundings. Plenty of parking makes it easy to pull in, settle down, and enjoy a proper meal without any hassle. We started off strong with the cauliflower Manchurian and onion pakoda--both came out fresh, hot, and perfectly crisp. You can tell right away when a kitchen respects texture, and they nailed it. The samosa chaat was layered with flavor, and the Chicken 65 brought just the right kick--crispy on the outside, juicy inside, and seasoned beautifully. For mains, we explored a bit, and everything felt thoughtfully prepared rather than rushed. The mixed meat platter was generous and well-balanced, the Kerala fish curry had that deep, coastal spice profile, and the cashew coconut chicken curry with black pepper had a rich, aromatic heat that lingered in the best way. Every dish carried depth--nothing tasted one-dimensional. Of course, no Indian meal is complete without naan, and both the garlic and regular versions were excellent. But the real standout? The Peshwari naan--slightly sweet from chopped dates, soft, and just indulgent enough to feel special. That alone is worth coming back for. The drink selection is another plus--they've got a solid lineup of wines, beers, and spirits if you're in the mood to pair your meal. And considering the quality and portion sizes, the pricing feels more than fair. We wrapped things up with a full spread of desserts--ras malai, gulab jamun, carrot halwa, and a warm cup of masala chai. Each one hit that comforting, traditional note you hope for at the end of a great Indian meal. This isn't just another Indian restaurant--it's a place that clearly cares about doing things right. Whether you're a local or just passing through between Jacksonville and Orlando, this is absolutely a stop worth making.
