Ifra’s Indian Kitchen - Review - Pinecrest - Miami - The Infatuation

Every weekday between the hours of 11am and 3pm, this Indian spot in Pinecrest has a fantastic lunch special that'll satisfy both vegetarians and lamb lovers. It comes with your choice of protein, a lovely lentil soup, one puffy vegetable samosa, four pieces of naan, rice, and a syrupy gulab jamun for dessert. The lamb korma is creamy, nutty, and if you ask for it spicy, they will deliver. But the regular menu also has more great versions of classic dishes, like chicken tikka masala and palak paneer with spongy cheese cubes we’d happily have as a movie snack. It’s walk-in friendly and you can watch some expertly choreographed Desi music videos playing on the TV as you mop up every bit of sauce from your plate with naan. - Mariana Trabanino
