The 6 Best Restaurants On Las Olas In Fort Lauderdale - Miami - The Infatuation

"Bombay Darbar, which also has a location in Miami, is a reliable place to get familiar Indian dishes in a dining room with nightclub lighting and a passion for crystal chandeliers. This might not be the best Indian food you’ve ever tasted, but you will happily finish the aloo gobi, chicken tikka masala, and various forms of lamb encountered here. Invest in some naan on the side to wipe your plate clean with." - ryan pfeffer

The 10 Best Spots to Eat in Downtown Fort Lauderdale

"Don’t end your downtown Las Olas Boulevard stroll without venturing east to Bombay Darbar. Indian food in its prime with an undeniably elegant flair, its basics (vegetable samosa, chicken tikka masala, etc.) is as wow-worthy as its signatures (e.g., the vinegar-y meets spicy Lamb Vindaloo)." - Jesse Scott

Best Valentine’s Day Takeout Options in Miami | Eater Miami

"Takeout from this Indian restaurant is a solid move for a delicious night in. Start with appetizers of vegetable samosas, then dine together on tandoori chicken wings. A vegetarian entree of mushroom makhani comes cooked in tomatoes, cashew sauce, and white wine, while the tandoori lamb chops are marinated in special recipe and cooked in the clay oven. Satisfy that sweet craving with an order of Kheer, Indian rice pudding and wash it all down with mango lassi, a classic beverage of yogurt and mango pulp. Takeout is also available at the restaurant’s Fort Lauderdale location." - Juliana Accioly

✨First visit to Bombay Darbar Las Olas. I was excited to dine here based on the outstanding reviews from locals in the area. I dined solo on a Sunday afternoon shortly after their opening. The staff are very warm and hospitable. My server - Kepar - provided me with excellent recommendations for food choices. He even suggested an item on the secret menu that I will definitely come back for more. The secret item is Peshawari Naan (made with nuts and coconut milk). I highly recommend to accompany any of the dishes. It is so tasty. The Peshawari Naan paired well with my vegetarian Saag Paneer entree. The restaurant atmosphere is aesthetically appealing and it is true fine dining perfect for groups, couples or solo guests. The manager went around welcoming guests and asking about their meal. (This personalized touch is a missing ingredient with many other establishments). There is also a patio for alfresco dining. This was an all around satisfying experience and I look forward to returning again, possibly to enjoy their weekday lunch specials. They fulfill numerous takeout orders through Door Dash/Uber Eats. I also hear people come particularly for the carry out bags that are insulated to keep your foot hot. What a great keepsake. For the holidays, Bombay has a special dining experience for New Year’s Eve. ✨.

Bombay Darbar is hands down my favorite Indian restaurant! I’ve been here several times and also ordered through Uber Eats, and it’s always amazing, consistent flavor, great portions, and fresh food every time. This visit, I tried the lamb chops for the first time and wow… 10/10! Perfectly cooked, full of flavor, and definitely my new go-to dish. Highly recommend this spot if you love authentic Indian food done right!

The best Indian food! Such great service and atmosphere. A local gem on Las Olas. Our server, Vedang, is top notch! Always with a smile on his face and very attentive with the best attention to detail. Thank you for always giving us a memorable experience. Bombay Darbar is the place to go for delicious authentic Indian cuisine and the best service on Las Olas! No other restaurant comes close. Thank you to all the staff at Bombay Darbar.

Review changed as response was acknowledged hopefully staff will service better and menu will be revised in near future. Tried Bombay Darbar for dinner and ordered Paneer Makhani, Biryani, Bullet Naan, and Garlic Naan. The naan was flavorful and fresh, but the rest of the meal didn’t quite meet expectations. The Paneer Makhani was okay, and the biryani felt more like vegetable fried rice. Overall, not too impressed this time, but I’d be open to giving it another try on a future visit to see if the experience improves.

If flavor had a passport it would definitely have a stamp from Bombay Darbar. From the moment I stepped in I felt like I boarded a spice flight straight to Mumbai with no TSA just taste buds cleared for takeoff. Let’s start with the samosas. Holy curry leaves Batman these little golden triangles were out of this world. Crispy on the outside perfectly spiced on the inside and honestly if NASA ever needs fuel for their next launch they should probably just ask Bombay Darbar for a tray of these. Then came the garlic naan and I swear I saw the light and it was the warm glow coming from that buttery garlicky bread. I could have made a meal just out of that naan alone. It was fluffy flavorful and had that “just one more piece” power that should be studied by scientists. Now let’s talk about my main event the butter chicken. Creamy rich and full of soul. Every bite was like a warm hug from an Indian grandmother who has been cooking since before the spice trade began. It’s one of those dishes that reminds you why you go out to eat in the first place. Comforting perfectly balanced and so full of flavor it almost felt like it was flirting with me. The atmosphere was pure magic. A mix of vibrant colors eclectic energy and a hum of laughter and conversation that made the whole place feel alive. You can tell everyone there is having a great time and that’s the best kind of vibe a restaurant can have. And then there was Sofia our server the absolute star of the show. Friendly funny and totally on top of everything. She made sure our table never went dry or hungry and her energy was infectious. She treated us like old friends and made the whole night even better. I was dining with some really good friends and by the end of the night we all agreed Bombay Darbar isn’t just one of the best Indian restaurants in Fort Lauderdale it’s one of the best meals you can find anywhere on Las Olas Boulevard. The prices are fantastic for the quality you get the portions are generous and every bite tastes like it was made with passion. If you want a restaurant that delivers flavor fun and flawless service this is the spice of life you have been craving. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 out of 5 I will definitely be back for another round of naan stop deliciousness.

The food& drinks here were delicious and the service was great. The restaurant its self is pretty inside and great for a date night. We had Lamb vindaloo & chicken tikka Masala. Bao bun for appetizer . & Liche blossom & mango drink for cocktails.

Bombay Darbar is one of the best spots for authentic Indian food in Fort Lauderdale. The flavors are rich, bold, and absolutely delicious, but be ready for some spice! so i totally recommend to MAKE SURE let your server know your heat level. The service is excellent and the variety of dishes is amazing, with so many authentic options to choose from. This has become one of my husband’s and my favorite places to celebrate anniversaries and special occasions! Located near Las Olas, it is truly a gem for anyone who loves Indian cuisine. Love it!

Bombay Darbar is easily one of the best spots for Indian cuisine in the area. The food is consistently flavorful, authentic, and beautifully prepared. From the rich curries to the fresh naan and vibrant appetizers, every dish feels thoughtfully crafted. The staff is friendly, attentive, and keeps the experience smooth even when the restaurant is busy. Inside, the atmosphere is warm, lively, and perfect for both casual meals and special occasions. The only drawback is the parking. It’s limited, often crowded, and can be a bit of a headache during peak hours. You may need to circle around or park farther away than you’d like. The service tax and tip is already included that is 18% even for table for 4 So no need to add extra tip. Still, once you’re seated and the food arrives, it’s absolutely worth the effort. Bombay Darbar delivers an experience that keeps you coming back.

Without a doubt, you get peckish for some Indian food after all the other cuisines have you satiated. This was my pick for Flavors of India and this place did not disappoint on all accounts. The grand oversized chandelier is a beauty. And all the Buddha statues and bust were pleasing. This place is definitely worth birthday celebrations. Briyani packed the right flavors, the malai kofta served sweetness and creaminess in equal parts. The service was superlative, we had an attentive staff named Sofia who made our evening pleasant. Definitely give this place a go if you are in Fort Lauderdale.

Review of a to go/doordash order: I have not been inside or experienced the service. The door dash platform made it hard to understand if rice would come with my tikka, so I ordered a side. I don't think I've ever gone to an Indian restaurant where dishes like that weren't automatically served with rice. I'm glad I did order it because otherwise I would have had no rice. I asked for the spiciest they have listed and I would say it was just medium. Nothing to write home about spice wise. The chicken tikka was more sauce than anything else and a bit of a let down. The chili chicken chunks were flavorful and I would have again. The packaging for delivery was quite nice and I applaud that.

So we came here a couple years back and had a blast sitting at the bar. While still good, this visit turned up slightly less interesting Indian inspired cocktails but they do still have the spiked mango lassi which was nice. The star for me was the tandoori shrimp. Came out sizzling HOT on the plate which could be concerning as shrimp cooks quickly but they were just right and huge. Paneer saag was pretty good and we loved the papadum starter... good move giving the tomato and green chutney, remined me of Indian chips and "salsa". Our server was excellent too! Keep it up Bombay

Last time I was here their cocktail program was on fire with Indian inspired drinks...That influenced our decision to come here. However they had a lot less interesting cocktail selection this time. We still enjoyed ourselves. The service and decor were impeccable. The complimentary papadum with green and red(tomato) chutney was bomb! Lycée martini helped with spice as did the bourbon spiked mango lassi. The tandoori shrimp were amazing hat and sizzling when they came out. Paneer saag was good and garlic naan is a must.

Riding to Las Olas, I had no idea what I wanted to eat. I checked Yelp and saw Bombay, which I'd been to before and remembered the out‑of‑body butter chicken and naan. I don't eat chicken anymore because of my blood‑type diet, but I knew they had seafood and vegan options. We went on a Friday around 5:30 p.m., and it felt like we had the place to ourselves. The service was excellent--our waiter stayed on top of water, drinks, and clearing plates. Happy Hour was perfect timing, and we ordered the whole half‑hour menu plus a spicy margarita. The bel puri stole the show--I poured its mystery sauce on everything, even the jalapeño naan, and it sent the flavors to the stratosphere. The shrimp were huge, my cousin said the wings were really good and that God is good, and the paneer tasted like he was in India. The spicy margarita was one of the best I've ever had. Between the food, service, and peaceful vibe, this place is an easy 20/20. Go during Happy Hour so you can try a little of everything.

I went back to Bombay Dardar doe the second time this time for lunch. I had chicken condition medium spice. Comes with several side dishes, dessert and naan. This was the best chicken vindaloo I ever had. I savored every bite. I work a few blocks away. I will definitely be eating there more often.

shocked at the reviews that was left here. I've ordered here three times. once was good and the last two times. I swear I will never order here again. the chicken came in stale cubes barely marinated in butter chicken sauce. The daal had zero flavor despite requesting medium flavor. the naan was flat and tasted old. the only good item was the chili gobi. I could literally cook this better myself and I'm not a cook. do yourself a favor and find another Indian spot to order from. huge disappointment. Literally took 2 bites and threw it all out. want me $130 back.

Food was very tasty! My wife and I had the butter chicken and Tikka Masala. Felt like the seasoning was missing something but overall a yummy experience The service was very attentive, quick and kind. The environment was very fun and what you would hope from an Indian restaurant located on Las Olas.

Bombay Darbar still owns the Indian food game in Fort Lauderdale. I'm basically hooked on their takeout. It always arrives piping hot, sealed in their signature insulated bag, and the flavors never miss. The Chana Masala, Chili Chicken, and Tandoori Chicken Tikka are my go-tos. Pro tip: get the garlic naan--it's next level. This time I actually remembered to snap a few pics, so you can see the deliciousness for yourself. I still haven't hit up the restaurant yet, but with takeout this good, I'm in no rush. If you haven't checked them out yet, you're seriously missing out.

The vibe in here is so interesting... it is very grand and elegant, especially for a casual lunch. The food and value here is amazing-- their lunch special gets you literally a little bit of everything. You get a platter full of little dishes accompanying your entree. I ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala, which was full of flavor. Despite a smaller portion, I was full because of the extra appetizers and desserts that come with the special. We had a decently large party, but there were barely any other customers in the restaurant for lunch. I would definitely come again.

I was chillin poolside when the dasher showed up with my sleek delivery bag. Little did I know the contents would rock my every tastebud! I love Indian food, but this was on a whole other level. I'm pretty sure I went into a visionary trance when I first tried the mango chicken. Matter of fact, my mouth is watering at this moment and it's been months since I had it. Unreal! Every bite just of their food, naan included, had this addictive quality that kept me coming back for more. I was grossly full, but couldn't stop! No mas, no mas! Highest recommendation right here fam! Bon appetite!

Had a great experience here last night! Walked over to Bombay Darbar with a friend and sat at the bar. Viktoria greeted us right away and was so great at explaining the menu and making suggestions based on our preferences. I tried the Malai Kofta. I ordered it mild and it still was a bit too spicy for me, but I am a wimp when it comes to spices. I liked the flavors. The garlic Naan was so amazing. The portions are generous so you have enough left over for lunch the next day, if you want and they give you the coolest reusable to-go back that holds the heat in.

Fantastic from start to finish! PK was our server and he was very friendly and knowledgeable. The food and drinks were great! The tandoori chicken was moist and flavorful. The Saag chicken was the best that I've ever had. The decor is beautiful. This place is worth the stroll away from the busy stores and restaurants. Don't miss it!!

Great food at Bombay Darbar. As someone from Bombay this food hits the spot. We called the malai kofta and panner makhani, the malai kofta is a must have. The service is great and the interiors are great for dinner. Highly recommend!

Bombay Darbar is one of my favorite Indian restaurants in the area. They never disappoint and the service is always amazing. It was my first time going around happy hour so we got an appetizer for only $8 (the gobi cauliflower). I got the butter chicken as my main entree and there isn't much to say about this classic. They make it great at Bombay Darbar and it's paired perfectly with their soft, aromatic naan. Our server, Sam, was super attentive and friendly. Overall, yet another amazing experience here.

An experience that made me reconsider why we eat out. But, not in the best way. Like our experience, the reveal comes at the end. Ambiance is A+. We walked in & the mood was set! Transportive. Service is A++. Our server, Kedar, was patient & charming. He anticipated questions about the menu, spice level, portions,etc. He made gentle suggestions. Explained dishes that are prepared differently here. Repeated our orders for verification. Couldn't have been better! Food is also an A. For you cocktail enthusiasts, they have a riff on the Old Fashioned called something like "Adarak Fashion". And it is phenomenal! A testament to their grasp of flavor & balance. Ginger in an old fashioned? Genius! The appetizers, entrees, & desserts were all good. The lamb chop masala was good - but the star of the dish is much more the masala than the chop. Their chana masala was way better than anticipated - made me wish I had tried more of their vegetable entrees because the flavor was so dialed in. They have an onion naan that tastes like the best version of a no-sauce, non-pizza pizza that I've ever had. Just baked to perfection. The desserts were delicious. A mango sorbet with an intensity of mango flavor that it tasted more like a mango than any mango I had this summer. I also had a rice pudding that was reminiscent of my Cuban grandmother's arroz con leche, but still distinctly different enough that I sat there thinking - how does something so similar appear in both the Caribbean & the Indian subcontinent. The galub jhamun is one of my favorites & a must try for me whenever it's on a menu. Overall, a great experience to this point. And, then it went from an "evening out" to a "check out line". As soon as we finished desserts, our bill was brought to the table. And it was GO time! Servers & bussers began consistently asking us if we needed anything else. If they could place our to-go containers in the plastic bags. If we were done with our drinks, then our water. If they could clear the table. If we were ok. The passive-aggressive courteous service culminated in the host coming to our table & straight up asking us to leave. Stood there, stoned-faced with a "ok guys, we need the table". So, here we are. Over $300 spent for a party of 4. 3 appetizers. 4 entrees. 3 desserts. 5 drinks. In less than 2 hours (reservation was at 6pm, receipt stamped was closing out the bill at 7:56 PM). I understand some restaurants have 2 hour limits. But my experience has always been that it is made abundantly clear. We made the reservation over the phone. And we were seated by the same host who later asked us to leave. And, nowhere in the process did they tell us there was a two hour limit. The restaurant didn't have a line of people waiting. They have loud music, TVs streaming music videos, empty chairs at the bar - it's a design that invites. If it were a minimalist, fine dining vibe (like several Indian restaurants in South Florida are), I think I'd get it a bit more. But, I just couldn't rationalize the urgency. So, it begs the question - why do we go out to eat? We live in So Broward; we have options for Indian food. Bombay Darbar was good - but not soooo good that it's worth a trek to Las Olas & being rushed out on top of that. We go to restaurants for an experience, for distraction, & for an opportunity to connect with out friends & our community (by visiting local restaurants that are run by & employ locals). If we went out solely for the food, we could either order take-out OR go to any of the great places in the area that work more like diners or grab-&-go. So, the end experience is a feeling like Bombay Darbar is purely transactional. Money for food & bye. And I get it - at its core, that's what the restaurant business is. But, experience should count for something. And ultimately, repeat business by locals should matter. There are ripple effects to how you treat people. We were meeting with a long-time friend who grew up in Broward, is of partial Indian descent, & was visiting from another state. She couldn't figure out why we were asked to leave. Other people were at their tables. Maybe they were asked to leave too - we wouldn't know. But, our friend wondered if maybe we were asked to leave because of how we look (referring to skin color & ethnicity here). There was no indication skin color played a role - but that's the pernicious thing about certain behaviors...if it's unexplained, people fill in the gaps with their own experiences. Needless to say, we won't be visiting again. We wish them luck. We'd ask that maybe they implement clear messaging that the tables have a 2 hour time limit.

The butter chicken is rich, creamy, and perfectly spiced. always pair it with their warm, buttery garlic naan which is an absolute must! Portions are generous, and everything tastes freshly made with amazing depth of flavor. The service is quick and attentive, and the atmosphere feels both vibrant and cozy. Definitely worth visiting if you're craving quality Indian cuisine with bold, comforting flavors.

First off, I'd like to say that I fully intended on giving this place 4 stars. But at the last moment, the staff were really pushy and basically told us they needed the table and asked us to leave mere minutes after paying. It just put a damper on the entire experience, which up until that moment had been quite pleasant. Our server was super friendly and helpful, the food was yummy (classic South Indian dishes, so nothing I hadn't had before, but still tasty) and the restaurant ambiance was nice, with Bollywood features playing on screen. But at no point when I made the reservation was a time limit mentioned...which I think should be done if they are in the business of rushing customers out after their meals. I understand that some places are keen to get the table cleared soon after paying, esp in a place as popular as Las Olas. But I think the customers should be made aware of this before they're seated (I would have no issue if they said there was a time limit or something similar). But we literally paid and were finishing up our drinks when we were asked to leave so they could turn the table. And this happened only a couple minutes after we paid and were still finishing up. It was rude and unnecessary. And since the food wasn't mind-blowing or anything special (with the exception of the cauliflower which was surprisingly delicious, and they're take on an old fashioned had a ginger kick to it that was unique) I don't think we'll be going back. Sadly, being treated that way, without warning, soured the experience. If you go, you'll enjoy the food, no doubt. But make sure to go on a weekday or during a slow time so you don't risk getting pushed out. Otherwise, I would suggest the restaurant list on their site (or on Open Table) that there is a time limit.

Went here for lunch after my friend's graduation and we had a good time. My spicy margarita was one of the best I've had. For food, I got the garlic naan, chicken tikka masala with basmati rice. Absolutely loved the garlic naan and the rest of the food was tasty as well. Service was good until I asked for rice that comes along with my personal entree but was told that the table was meant to share when every person had already gotten their own personal rice except for me. This was the only downside to the meal.

My best friend and I have an annual Indian food lunch every Christmas, since I'm in florida now she flew in and we had it a little early this year and came to Bombay Dunbar. The place was very clean and aesthetically pleasing inside, but it was a beautiful day so we sat on the patio. Service was pleasant but a little slow for a Monday. I assume probably just less staff. We were able to get the lunch special Thali. My best friend got the lamb Currie and I got the paneer one. House made paneer! Everything was delicious and seemed fresh. The spice level was on point I got hot level and my friend got medium and both lived up to their potential. Food could've used a little salt but an easy fix . Will return back for cocktails next time as they had a nice bar inside. The place was a vibe and had cool Indian inspired remix's of modern day music so we had a good time .

A great spot for Indian food on Las Olas! I finally got to try Bombay Darbar with some of my cousins and it did not disappoint. All of us had it on our list and we finally made it a point to try it out. We came on a Monday evening and it wasn't too crowded despite it being Spring Break season. We waited a bit to be seated but once we were, the service was pretty swift and definitely friendly. Elena was such a gem and helped us navigate through the menu since all of us aren't seasoned in ordering Indian food. Of course, I had to try the mango lassi and it was pretty good. For food, we got the garlic naan (a great go-to thing to order) as an appetizer. With Elena's help, we got the Butter Chicken (a must), tandoori chicken tikka, and the lamb roganjosh. The star of the show for me was the tandoori chicken tikka. It comes beautifully presented on a sizzling pan/plate and the flavors were sooooo good. It might be my new favorite dish next to the butter chicken. The ambiance inside was very lively and had that night life vibe with elegant chandeliers and vibrant lights + low lighting. It seemed perfect for night out with friends (we saw a bachelorette party come in here) or perfect for a date night. Overall, a great spot on Las Olas to dine at!

This is one of my favorite restaurants to have Indian cuisine. It's such a cute location in Fort Lauderdale, the service it's amazing as soon as you walk in - you get greeted and acknowledge. There's so many amazing dishes to try ; you can't forget to get the naan bread with cheese it was delicious! The chicken tiki masala and the butter chicken was so good and they actually ask what's you level of spice that you would like , I always go for mild. For appetizers try samosa chaat was really good , just has a little more seasoning than expected but goes amazing with naan bread. Ohhh you must also try the classic mango lassi , it's a mango smoothie yogurt it was delicious and fresh. Looking forward to coming back here again and trying new things ! Definitely recommend!

Came here after a comedy show in Dania on a Saturday night. Certainly a lively atmosphere! Not nearly as crowded as I thought it would be, but it can be a bit noisy. (Its Fort Lauderdale on a Saturday night, to be expected) Really cool decor, too. They bring you complimentary papadam which was delicious!! We ordered paneer pakora for an app. Was a little bland, but the chutneys they serve with it make up for it! (The tomato one was our favorite) For entrees we ordered the chicken tikka masala and chana masala and a side of naan. Both nice portions, seasoned to perfection and very flavorful. Service was super friendly and food came out fast. With two soft drinks, the app, two entrees, naan and dessert, our total came out to about $70. Its definitely a bit pricier, but it is delicious. With all the other Indian restaurants around, I wouldn't say I'd come back (parking can also be a pain) but it was a nice experience overall.

Had a great experience at Bombay Darbar with a coworker who was visiting from India. He said this was hands down the BEST Indian food in the area and I agree! The restaurant is huge and fancily decorated with giant chandeliers and a huge bar. About halfway through our dinner the lights went down and music turned up and it was packed busy. We had a wide array of items including Onion Pakora, Vegetable Samosas, Papadum, Tikka Masala sauce, Garlic and Cheese naan, Gulab Jamun, a Lamb dish, and the Shahi Veg Korma. The food was absolutely delicious, some of the best Indian food I've had! The service was great too with quick service and always plenty of water flowing to wash down the spice. Would highly recommend and can't wait to come back next time I'm in town!

An awesome atmosphere as soon as you walk in the door. A little quaint, a little party, a mix of everything. It's a very large space that does everything it can to embrace the culture of origin. As for the food, which is why you're there, it will likely exceed expectations as the Butter Chicken was one of the best I've had. Flavors were great, with just a slight gripe about portion sizes not being huge for the price. Bombay Darbar is a must visit in Ft. Lauderdale.

Indian food in a more upscale setting. The interior of the restaurant is decorated with flair but you know they're still OG because they're playing Indian shows on the flat screens lol. My friend and I came during happy hour and ordered a little bit of everything off that and the regular menu. Our server, Sam, was friendly and very attentive as we kept ordering more food. Everything was flavorful with affordable pricing. I recommend coming here with a group and sharing plates!

Highly recommend Bombay Darbar! The vindalu was outstanding as was the butter chicken, the tikka masala, and the lamb dish. It was my daughter's birthday and the staff sang and brought her a wonderful mango dessert. Our server Vedang was excellent. He explained the dishes well and made some good recommendations. He was very personable. The ambiance was perfect. We enjoyed the decor and the Bollywood videos.

Ordered delivery and was pleasantly surprised that the order arrived nice and hot. The beautifully marketed heat sealed bag was a bonus. The chicken tiki masala was delicious and the paneer spinach was perfect. We enjoyed our dinner and recommend highly.

Server was great but food was bad. The only thing to order should be are the tandoori items. We had chicken tandoori and that was delicious. Parking is horrible. Mostly for tourists. I wanted to add, after having my tandori left overs. (Making every penny count.) We went at lunch time. One of the things I didn't understand was how we sat down with appetizer plates and dinner plates with one set of silverware. Once completing our appetizers we were not given new forks these were clearly well soiled. One of us asked for a new fork. Which was not well received. As the meal was complete the table was covered with food waste. We had cake coming and no one covered the mess with even a napkin or anything. For a $25 cake fee I should have a clean table for photos.

I came to celebrate my birthday. This location in Las Olas is really pretty. I walked in with my birthday cake and they immediately were like if I even open the box to take a picture of the cake they will charge me a service fee of $25 or $35 (I can't remember but it was one of those) which was annoying. Besides that, the food and service were good. They ended up bringing me a scoop of ice cream which was nice. It was extremely hard to cut into but it taste good.

Good Indian food in the heart of the city! We went on a Thursday evening around 7pm. We were lucky enough to get parking nearby - literally I front. They have an outdoor dining area that is great for Las Olas people watching. But due to Florida humidity, we opted for inside. First, major shot out to our waiter, Tobi. It wasn't until half way through the appetizers that I noticed he has a minor disability. Despite that, he provided exceptional service...with a great smile!! So we started with drinks. The mango lassi was good. Though I would have preferred it to be a bit cooler since it was so thick. The Gin and tonic was as you'd expect. Food: The complimentary Papad appetizers were large in portion size and tasted good!! They were perfectly paper thin! For the main course we had curry chicken and curry fish. They were both quite tasty. However, the biggest downfall was that the meals came out at room temperature, at best. I like my food to come out piping hot. In fact, we were jealous of the nearby tables that got their dishes coming out on a sizzling platter. To hear the sizzles with luke warm food was a little bit of a bummer Service - service here was great. The manager noticed us finagling with the table and walked right over, got on his knees and propped it up so it wouldn't wobble. So awesome! Crowd - For a Thursday it seemed a little empty but that was great because we could hear each other. Returning? I'll return - will just be sure to ask them to ensure my food is warm upon delivery!

Fort Lauderdale - Recently went for dinner (again) and we always have a wonderful experience. The setting is upscale spacious yet casual and comfortable. The service is friendly and efficient. The food is always delicious. The cauliflower app was spot on. Their mango chicken and lamb kadhai entrees were perfect. Tender and bursting with flavor. Kingfisher beer and lychee blossom cocktail were perfect accompaniment. Reasonable prices. A must go.

This place is amazing. The food was absolutely perfect. We like our Indian dishes medium plus, --every bite was packed with flavor, the perfect spicy. The vibe is beautiful too, super chill but still stylish. The service is Top-notch. We arrived before they opens & the let us sit and order drinks until the kitchen opened. Everyone was friendly and really on point. Amole paid parking close by. Definitely one of my favorite spots in Fort Lauderdale.

We recently had lunch here. The inside of the restaurant has a club feel with huge chandeliers and Buddha structures around the restaurant. Our server was attentive. I started off with a mango lassi and you really can't go wrong with that. It was sweet and creamy. For starters, we shared chili gobi (cauliflower) and some papadum with chutneys. The chili gobi was extremely flavorful as were the chutneys. For the mains we shared vegetable korma, veggie biryani and malai kofta. The rice (biryani) was excellent even more so with their raita. The curries also came with a side of white basmati rice. The vegetable korma was creamy and mild in flavor. The veggies were cooked well however was not a standout for me personally. The malai kofta was delicious. The curry was slightly sweet and the kofta were rich and very filling. It was my personal favorite. My in-laws are vegetarian so we didn't tried non veg. options. Will definitely have to return to try more items.

WOW - absolutely incredible! We had dinner here on our last evening in Fort Lauderdale, and it was so good that we were disappointed they weren't open the next day to return for lunch before we left town. The chicken biryani was truly some of the best that I have had, and the tikka masala was just as wonderful. It tasted very fresh and had the perfect level of heat and aromatics. The decor was pretty, and the purple lighting in the chandelier was a fun touch. The waiters were all very attentive, and the manager, Denish, was lovely to chat with and incredibly kind to send out some delicious mango kulfi for dessert. I would love to return again if I get back to Fort Lauderdale or visit their other location in Miami.

We decided to walk back to our downtown hotel after spending some time at the beach, and this restaurant turned out to be a good midpoint to stop and have dinner on the way. It's a large space, elegantly decorated, with Indian music videos playing on a couple large screens. The service was good and professional, and the food itself was above average for Indian fare in my opinion. The tandoori chicken was flavorful and not dry. The vegetable dish (sorry, I can't remember the name) that we ordered was also good. It was several different vegetables in a cashew sauce, I think.

Amazing location! We had previously had been recommended the Miami location, however I found out this location existed thru Yelp so we decided to give it a chance. We came in on a Saturday night and parking was challenging, we ended up finding parking at a near by garage which required for us to walk a bit but not to bad. Upon arrival the restaurant was super inviting and felt intimate but casual enough. We were asked if we had a reservation (we didn't) however there was no wait time and we were taken to our table almost immediately. Our server was great the entire time and took time to explain some dishes. To drink I had the lychee blossom which essentially was like a lychee martini and it was delicious. My husband had the house lemonade and he absolutely loved it . For starters we ordered the PANEER PAKORA which is some type of battered fried cheese. This was not our favorite I felt the spices was too much and didn't taste like fried cheese. For entree I had the LAMB ROGANJOSH which was absolutely delicious! The lamb was so tender and flavorful. My husband had MANGO CHICKEN CURRY which we were expecting some kind of sweetness to it and it was perfect. So tasty and not overpowering. Overall I loved the vibes and how tasty the food was. I will definitely be back.

Attentive service and excellent food. A good spot on Las Olas for lunch, especially with the lunchtime specials. Fun music and an enjoyable vibe.
