We LOVED our meal here! We got the tasting menu for two and it was the perfect amount of food for us. The stand outs were the samosa chaat, crispy broccoli, chicken tikka masala, and the date cake. Do not skip the date cake!! Our servers were super nice and very attentive. I would definitely eat here again!
Absolutely enjoyed the little amount of food we ate here! What a cute place. Never thought bags of rice & lentils could count towards a decent decor The butter chicken sandwich was yum. Highly recommend!!!
Had a great experience at this restaurant! The staff was warm and friendly, creating a welcoming atmosphere. The ambiance was pleasant and added to the overall dining experience. Most importantly, the food was absolutely delicious! Highly recommend this location—you won’t be disappointed. Looking forward to coming back!
Hands down, the best Indian restaurant I’ve ever been to. The vegetable samosa chaat was light and tasty. Exactly what you want from an appetizer. The lamb neck curry was so tender, perfectly cooked, and the curry itself was the most beautiful marriage of salty, smoky, and sweet. The sticky date cake and ginger ice cream was the best dessert I’ve ever had in my life. With every taste, I was transported to my childhood. It was a perfect balance of sweet and spicy, rich and light, and warm and cold. I would go back and pay any amount for that dessert any day of the week.
We decided to do something different this year for Thanksgiving. We ordered our sides from ghee and let me tell you they did not disappoint. I knew that we would love because everything Chef Niven and his do prepare is always amazing.
Lovely time at Ghee with amazing choices of food and drinks Though I felt the menu was limited had great choices Loved the mule and lavender cocktails both We also tried avacado Bhatura, kerala lamb, turmeric fish they were all very tasty. For desserts we had data cake love the syrup on it plus the chai cheese cake which was yummy also because of its consistency itself but lacked chai flavors in it
So I have always ordered from ghee and absolutely love it. Decided to finally go and sit down for dinner and was blown away. First, I did not know they had a tasting menu, so that was an easy decision, and did that with the wine pairing. I'll start by saying that I left so full that it was hard to drive! The food was outstanding. I really enjoyed how the wine complimented all the flavors on the table. Not one dish missed. You get to sample 75% of the menu. 65 per person plus the 35 wine paring - ABSOLUTELY WORTH IT.
Ghee Indian Kitchen 8965 SW 72nd Pl., Miami, FL 33156 5 Stars I have tried to find the secret to how Michelin-starred and Michelin-recommended restaurants get picked, all to no avail. I have reviewed some outstanding places and some hellholes. Thankfully, Ghee Indian Kitchen falls into the first category. In fact, I would place Ghee Indian Restaurant right behind Bacan as the all-time greatest Michelin restaurant yet to be sampled by BBDO. Nicole is my server, and she is a real pro. They are playing some Deep Indian House Music that adds to the positive vibe of the place. It's not often that I can listen to trance, but this works. The shelves are packed with hundreds of spices—a true sight to behold. I asked Nicole for some Saag Paneer, Samosa Thali, and Mango Lassi. I relaxed in the inviting atmosphere, awaiting Nicole's return with my repast, and was totally lost in the vibe. My olfactory sense soon alerted me to Nicole's presence. Snapping the regulatory pictures of the victuals, I grabbed my tools of culinary destruction and proceeded to the job at hand—stuff...err, reviewing food for my reading public. I started my journey with a sample of their Saag Paneer. Saag Paneer is an extremely popular Indian vegetarian dish made of spinach and other leafy greens (saag) and paneer (Indian cottage cheese). This dish comes from the province of Punjab in Northern India. The greens are ground into a paste, seasoned with spices and fried paneer is added on top. One forkful in and I knew this was what it was supposed to taste like. It is smooth, creamy, bursting with flavor and the tofu is so fresh I wouldn't be surprised if they make it in the back (I checked, they don't). Next up was the Samosa Thali. As you can mix and match their Samosas in this dish, I asked for one Yukon potato, one paneer, and one chicken-stuffed Samosa. The outside was light, tasty and crunchy. The insides were filled to bursting with delicious delectables. Each one was better than the last, but that can't be, as they were all outstanding. This filled me with ineffable joy to consume. I wish I lived closer. Moving on to the Mango Lassi. For those not in the know, Lassi is a popular, traditional, yogurt-based drink from India. Indian Lassi is a blend of yogurt, water, spices and oftentimes, fruit. In this case, the fruit was Mango. This was so dang thick and creamy I had two before I could move on. I also ordered one to go. Yes, they are that good.
