    We visited this place for the first time, there is so little options in terms of food as compared to liquor. The food is awesome but expensive, and the food quantity is limited. They charge you for little things like $4.00 for tiny amount of chutney. And Raita was a small cup and charge was $8.00. I won't be visiting here again. Very disappointing experience for us being a vegetarian family. Below are the pics of serving size for a final bill of $87.00 without any drinks.

    Amazing Food & Amazing Service! 1st visit our server Alonzo/JoJo S. suggested the “Tasting Menu” for $65.00 a person was PERFECT. You get to truly taste the Chef’s Food. Our server was wonderful explained everything clearly. The food did not disappoint. Thank you for a great date night. The presentation of the dishes was perfect plus the dessert STICKY DATE definitely a must a total of 14 plates. Suggestion pace yourself otherwise you will be taking a lot of food home. We will be back soon!

    This place was so good! The service and atmosphere is very welcoming. The food is so good and i might come again. Very delicious! The waiter was awesome and she took care of us swiftly. The chefs were also very cool about everything.

    Amazing experience today. Service was a little slow at the beginning (they were printing a menu and the service did not see we were ready to order). But after that, things improved, the food was aaaaamazing and service too. We ordered chicken tikka massala, dal makhani, ghost pepper naaan, and regular naan. Everything was delicious. Could not pick a favorite. Since it was my birthday, we got a date cake (not for free) which was delicious and ginger ice cream. Would definitely come again.

    We usually get takeout from here and stick to the same thing: naan bread, samosas, and tandoori chicken. What a treat to visit this place in person (finally). We were not disappointed. We tried their tasting menu and it was perfect for us. We got to try a little bit of everything (about 70% of the menu) and there were several dishes I'm sure we wouldn't have ordered but only because we had no idea they were so tasty. The portions look small but a little bit of everything adds up. Come hungry. Great service, too! We'll definitely be back.

    When you move to a new city, you try to find restaurants that have your favorite comfort food or a sense of familiarity in a new place. Ghee is that place for me We had the chefs sampler menu and got to try a ton of items on their menu - from classic dhal makhani and chicken tikka to unique dishes like their tuna bhel. I loved everything! Will definitely be back soon and will recommend this place to everyone

    Great place to have Indian food with a different touch to the recipes. The ghost pepper is really spicy. We suggest to have a lassi or a dessert to complement the spices in the Naan. The lamb curry was good. I loved the date cake with ginger ice cream. The service is good. I recommend the Indian Chai here. The chai is hot and is authentic.

    WOW! Very casual setting with delicious, authentic food and great service. There were 6 of us who chose the tasting menu, well worth it. And as a bonus, they have Tripping Animals Brewery options.

    If you haven’t gone to this restaurant, you are definitely missing out. The staff are extremely friendly, know exactly what’s being served. The food is incredible. We did the chef tasting menu and tried a bit of everything. We absolutely can’t get over the tandoori chicken. It is extremely tender and tasteful, we highly recommend trying! The cauliflower was a tad over cooked for our preference but everything else made up for it. The decor was also simple yet thought out.

    WOW this was so tasty. Best Indian food I’ve had so far. We got the family-style tasting menu, which I recommend so you can easily try all the highlights. BUT it may be more economical to just order full entrees and take the extras home, just something to think about. It was a bit pricey, but filling. The gulab jamun and the sticky date cake were both mind-blowingly tasty. Not sure which is better. I lean towards the gulab jamun because it was hot and gooey, like freshly baked. Heavenly. Everything was really delicious and some items I have a hard time remembering the name, but the chicken tikka masala, lamb curry, tandoori chicken, and naan were some highlights. Service was pretty good and the interior decor was nice. I appreciated the sound dampeners spread throughout the (large, industrial) space.

    The lunch options are not available for dinner so make sure you enjoy lunch at Ghee (in addition to dinner). We had the Nihari Tacos as a snack - delicious with the short rib, avocado and the cilantro-sauce topping, then the Bombay Sandwich which is all veggies - this sandwich stole the show - beets, potatoes, its ridiculously delicious.

    We came for lunch with some indian friends to test if the food met their standards and it did! They recognized some tropicalization of flavors (e.g., tacos) but the essence of the Indian cuisine acros multiple dishes. We recommend d The ghost pepper cheese naan (a little spicy), the lassi to balance it, curries, samosas and chai. Would certainly come back!

    A delicacy! We’ve been here a few times throughout the years. Such a yummy restaurant serving dishes with quality ingredients. Love that the menu constantly changes. Definitely go with a few people so you can try a variety of dishes. If you’re vegan, great place to dine at. If you’re not, you’ll still love all the vegetable dishes. Recently visited in the beginning of January and tried the Roasted Pork. WOW! Still dreaming of it and plan to go back soon. Other dishes our party loved are the Samosas (we got a variety), Turmeric Fish, and Lamb Neck. If you really enjoy spicy foods, get the ghost pepper cheddar naan. Woooooooo! It creeps up on you instantly. It’s great!

    I’ve been wanting to try this place FOREVER!!! Now that I’ve gotten that out the way, I’ll begin with the review. So I had jus my left the dentist about half a mile away, and it was lunch time, so I thought about this place I had thought of so many times and saw they had a lunch special on their website. I ordered 3 different lunch combos and 2 different naans. CHICKEN TIKKA MASALA MEAL ($21) This is a classic, had to get it, I got it for myself. Honestly, this was very good, nice light sauce, good tender chicken and a decent amount, could have a bit more chicken, but it’s decent. There was a lil spice to it as well which was nice and it was delicious and filling without making me feel gross. Only real criticism, there isn’t enough rice and could use a bit more chicken. TURMERIC MARINATED FISH CURRY ($32) This was for my mom, she LOVED the sauce. She enjoyed the fish as well but it was WAY TOO SMALL as you can clearly see in the pic, and for $32 that’s just not gonna fly. She really like it though, kept the leftover sauce for weeks and it was still good and she put it over some tilapias she would make herself for dinner, so she really really LOVED that sauce. KERALA LAMB CURRY MEAL ($21) My dad is a big Lamb guy, anything with lamb he wants to order and try it, he liked it, but didn’t love it. He said it was just missing a special factor and was good, but nothing amazing. I think of all the dishes this had the most protein of all, so more lamb than the tikka masala had chicken, and tumeric marinade had fish, so that was a good plus. GHOST PEPPER CHEDDAR NAAN ($11) Way too expensive, and pretty spicy but it was good, I enjoyed it. My dad LOVED this naan, he also really loves spicy things, so makes sense. With the lunch combo it’s a $4 extra charge I believe, but on its own it’s $11, and that’s way too much. GARLIC NAAN I forgot to take a picture of this, but it was good, nothing crazy, lacking a bit of garlic flavor. And it was also weird, all the naan had seeds in them, which is the first time I’ve experienced that with naan. AVOCADO BHATURA ($9) I went back to try this another day because my mom loves avocados and bread, so… yea. It was alright, would rather get the naan, my mom liked it more than me, but still just different than expected, and again way too expensive. CHARRED CORN & SMOKED PANEER Got this the same day as the avocado bhatura, yo eat along with it. Again, way too expensive, literally just corn and cheese, and the cheese isn’t great to be honest. It was ok. Not worth it, wouldn’t get again. In the end I would say, you can tell Ghee knows what they’re doing and how to cook, but the food is a bit too expensive, and all the sides are WAY overpriced. But the lunch combos would be perfect if the were 5 dollars cheaper and had a bit more rice. I would go to this restaurant again though, high quality food.

    Ghee hits the spot & it was definitely worth the wait. We got the Samosa Dosa, short rib dosa , duck samosa, vegetables chat and dessert. The samosas dosa is a must. It was so soft and airy. It had the perfect ration of stuffing to dosa. Same with the short rib dosa. It was cooked perfectly. You can pass on the duck confit. There was something off with the flavor. Apart from that everything else was great. Our waitress Paula took the time to explain each dish. The chai was also great. Overall great experience.

    What a great experience at this restaurant. It fills up quickly so make sure you make a reservation or get there early. Parking is validating from the parking garage as well. Food is flavorful, comes out fresh and piping hot and full of flavor. The vegetarian and vegan options are labeled. The Naan was some of the softest I've ever had and the Dal Mahkni was creamy and had great flavor. They serve good portions as well. Will return for sure.

    My husband brought me here for my birthday.. what a pleasant surprise! The food was absolutely amazing.. hands down the BEST Indian food I have ever had (did the Chef’s Tasting menu). Fernando was our server and was so attentive, charismatic, and made the overall experience even better (we just had to tip him above 20% he was that good). Not to mention the story of the restaurant and local ranch is cool. Eat here.. you won’t regret it!

    The food at this place is absolutely amazing! I would highly recommend the Dal Makhani and the Vegetable Samosa Chaat. The Sticky Date Cake is the best thing on the menu.

  • 4/5 Suresh N. 5 months ago on Google • 40 reviews
    If it was possible, I would give this place an overall rating of 4.5, mostly for the ambiance and service. The inside, with views of spices galore, utensils and tiffin carriers turn a nostalgic page into their childhood for many Indians. Presentation is great. For the price, I would think the portions could be slightly better. Also, all the options as per online menu may not be available if you are going there for lunch. We found some great options unavailable when we visited on 10/28/23. Food is good, nothing exceptional (atleast from what we ate). Would have wanted to try the Pork Vindaloo, but they said it was only a dinner option. They also have public parking space right beside their location.

    Best Indian food I’ve ever had (and I certainly have had my fair share in my lifetime). Definitely worth doing the tasting menu because some of the tastiest dishes were ones I wouldn’t have chosen on my own. Service was also fantastic.

  • 4/5 Balakrishnan V. 1 year ago on Google
    Loved the place and loved the food. We ordered the crispy broccoli, garlic naan, lamb curry, masala dosa, and gulab jamun. We wanted to try their tasting menu, but they only have it for the dinner service. The service was good. The one issue I have is with the accompaniments to the dosa. They give a small amount of chutney along with the order and they charge if you ask for extra. The chutney tastes great and was amazing with the dosa, but having to ration the tiny quantity they gave was hard.

  • 5/5 Matthew 1 year ago on Google
    Delicious food-the papaya salad is very tasteful -the best dish of the night was the lambs neck! The naan is good, though a very small serving. Staff is very friendly and polite. Juan was our waiter and was very attentive. He made several suggestions, all of which were very good. Definitely will be back.

  • 5/5 Lissett J. 1 year ago on Google
    The food was amazing and also the service! We had the full chef menu with 3 courses of different dishes + dessert, was our first time, and was a great option for trying many different flavors! We like it a lot!

  • 5/5 Rebeca 1 year ago on Google
    I wish I could give this place an infinite amount of stars. This was the best food I’ve ever had in my entire life-Seriously! We decided to have complete faith in our waiter and had everything he recommended and, we sure weren’t disappointed. I can’t put into words how fresh the food tasted and how perfectly balanced all the spices and herbs mesh with each ingredient. You can taste the effort and thought that was put into making everything from the apps to the drinks. Don’t even get me started on that date cake. Holy smokes— Wow. Everyone in Miami needs to come to ghee!!!!!

  • 5/5 mario h. 1 year ago on Google
    Food was beyond delicious. It was a bit pricey but was worth every penny . Well, balance flavor, succulent , tender meat. The ghost pepper/cheese naan to die for. Service was friendly, attentive, and on point.

  • 5/5 Alejandro G. 5 months ago on Google
    Loved Ghee! Food was amazing, our server Fernando was awesome, and the ambiance was lively and full of joy. Strongly recommend!

  • 4/5 Rebecca F. 7 months ago on Google
    Ghee was delicious! The rice was perfectly cooked as was the Chana Masala. My husband ordered the Chicken Tika Masala and according to him, it was delicious. To add to this meal, we ordered the garlic Naan bread and it was PERFECTION!! I didn't rate this restaurant 5 start because we ordered drinks and my drink wasn't good at all. I ordered a bubbly spritz, which wasn't bubbly and the flavors weren't pronounced.

  • 5/5 Matt D. 3 months ago on Google • 5 reviews New
    Big fan of South Asian food here. I’m dumbfounded how anyone can give this place anything but 5 stars. Simply the highest quality, most powerfully (yet not overly hot) flavored Indian food I’ve ever had. Great options for veggies & meat eaters. What a gem! Worth the drive. Get the tasting menu.

  • 5/5 Rocio R. 11 months ago on Google
    If you want an experience you need to go straight for the chefs tasting menu. 85% of the menu will be introduced, things you wouldn’t have ordered otherwise - I absolutely loved it. And never EVER skip the sticky date cake for dessert! Best dessert in the city, I promise.

  • 5/5 Mark 10 months ago on Google
    Amazing experience, food, atmosphere, and service were all perfect. Best indian food I’ve had and the chef’s tasting had only one spicy dish, so those that are sensitive should be able to handle it. Best of all was Paola. She gave us excellent service and explained all the dishes very well. She was very attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable.
