Memories of India - Orlando

I work in Orlando once or twice a year and this is my new go-to place. I eat a lot of Indian cuisine and the food here is delicious without exception. Orlando is so hectic, this restaurant is like an island of calm. The service here is exceptionally attentive without being overbearing. I've eaten here twice in the last three days and will probably be back in a few more days.

Great, flavorful food. Owner and staff very pleasant and attentive to customer satisfaction. We enjoyed our meal! Started with Indian chai tea- $4 tiny cup but very creamy, savory hot $5 onion Kulche - 4 piece onion stuffed/herb roasted naan $16 vegetable biryani (no almond raisins) rice with saffron, mild spice $18 Chicken Haryali Tikka - cooked with Tandoori oven; chicken came out on a fajita sizzling platter with lemons, onions, warm curry yogurt sauce, white rice/carrots. Very flavorful

You owe it to yourself to eat here!!!!! We've always pride ourselves on having great Indian food back home but THIS is BY FAR the best Indian food that we've had in a very long time. Salim was out server and he is the definition of what great service should be and expected. He recommended some dishes and he was on the money. So polite and knowledgeable of every dish and how to pair then with what the customer wants. Truly a very accommodating person with a great sense of humor and disposition to please the customers. The food was exquisite, freshly made and perfectly balanced. The bread was hot and flaky and perfectly cooked to a beautiful golden brown. I feel sorry for those who leave negative reviews about this place because it is more a reflection of you than the restaurant. Based on my experience , I can assure you that these bad reviews are from entitled individuals that think that the world revolves around them. This has to be some of the best service I've received, especially at an establishment of that size. Definitely a must visit place and a permanent destination for our future trips to the Orlando area. Thank you Salim for such an amazing experience. We will meet again.

(Update-10/1/22) Do not fall for hateful bad reviews! Make sure to try this place and judge for yourself. In my opinion it will not disappoint. The food and service are great! (Original review) Absolutely the best indian food in town! Great service as well, "Salim" took great care of us, very friendly and professional. Lunch portions are just right and very well priced. However the dinner portions are the best, trust me if You like indian food you will love it here!

Excellent food here. The Vegetable Biryani was amazing, as was the Palak Paneer. I also really enjoyed the Garlic Nan with a side of Raita (yogurt & cucumber dip). Indian beer is available as well as several American labels. A nice selection of desserts too; Malai Kulfi (Indian ice cream) and Gulab Jamoon were perfect. The food is truly authentic here as the proprietor and chief chef is from India and very nice and friendly.

This place is amazing 🤩 Salim was excellent very accommodating and nice 😊, I bought my husband here today to try Indian cuisine and he got the chicken biryani and he absolutely loved it, I got the chicken tikka masala and it was so delicious🤤 this is top tier Indian food I always eat these dishes and this place is one of the best I have tried😍❤️. If you are in this area treat yourself to this amazing experience you won’t regret it.

The best part about this restaurant is Salim Bhai. Our second time in this restaurant, Salim Bhai treated us with the utmost respect as he did the first time. I am grateful to my friend for recommending this restaurant to us. The food was delicious. I couldn't get enough of their delicious biryani. I regret going to Bawarchi Biryani instead of returning here for their biryani. Memories of India have, hands down, the best biryani. Their fish curry and the naan were delicious as well. For next time my husband and I decided that instead of tandoori chicken if we could ask for malai chicken drumsticks as it would be more palatable for our toddlers’ tastebuds. We will be back here again when we are in Orlando

Back at our fave Indian place in Orlando, Memories of India is a gem. Salim is so nice & treats us like royalty each visit. Try their lamb korma & Goan fish curry, you won't be disappointed...generous portions & always good. Don't forget the yummy mango lassi. Thank you, Salim!!! See you again soon.
