My family and I were a little skeptical because the parking lot was empty. I'm so glad we decided to still give it a try!!!! I said well let's look at it in a different light, that we got a whole restaurant to ourselves! The service and food were amazing from beginning to end!!! The flavors were so AMAZING!!!! The only thing that wasn't what we thought was the lychee martinis. There were no lychee's but the pour was strong. We ordered some mango juice and it made it good! All the food was fresh and flavorful. Everything came out hot. The best naan we've ever tasted. We had to order two baskets! Tried the chili fried corn! OMG we have never tasted anything like it. It's hard to explain! The vibe and decor is everything!! Me and my daughter were grooving in our chairs the whole time enjoying the food and their cultural music. We will definitely be back to support! We actually prayed for this business to be successful so we can try everything on the menu!! And before we left many people started coming in. Fine Indian dining!!!

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!

The flavors were really hitting and they do not play about their spice level. My only complaint is they were kinda skimpy on the chicken for me but I was full regardless. I also tried the lamb korma. Honestly surprised, I'm not even a big lamb guy cause it tastes too lamby for me but it hit. And the shrimp korma was good too it was pretty subtle. I don't usually order seafood tho cause they be ripping you off. Went back and it was still fire. Tried the chicken korma, masala dosa, and gobi Manchurian which were all super good. Was craving tikka masala so had to get it off but I also tried samosas for the first time. It was sooooo good. I was not a fan of the minty sauce much but the brown chutney funny enough, I think their tikka masala is my least favorite out of all the things I've had here

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 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.

Fifth Element Indian Kitchen 1448 W International Speedway…read moreBlvd, Daytona Beach, FL 32114 I really wanted to like Fifth Element Indian Kitchen, but this visit was a complete letdown. We ordered the Thali expecting a well-rounded, flavorful Indian meal--but what arrived at the table was far from it. The food was served cold, which immediately set the tone. Naan, which should be soft, warm, and slightly crisp on the edges, was instead leathery and overly chewy, almost as if it had been sitting out far too long. The Thali was supposed to include chicken biryani and chicken curry, but both dishes missed the mark entirely. The chicken served was dark thigh meat, which in itself isn't an issue when cooked right--but here, it lacked any depth or proper preparation. More disappointing was the complete absence of flavor. Indian cuisine is known for its rich layers of spices and aromas, but everything on the plate felt bland and lifeless, as if the spices were an afterthought rather than the heart of the dish. Adding to the disappointment, the interior decor felt very dated and gloomy, lacking the warmth or vibrancy you'd hope for in a dining space. The bathrooms were also filthy, which only made the overall experience worse. Having dined at several Indian restaurants, we know what a good Thali should taste like--balanced, vibrant, and satisfying. This was none of that. It felt rushed, poorly executed, and lacking the care that defines authentic Indian cooking. Unfortunately, this experience was disappointing enough that we won't be returning.
