Bombay Darbar, Miami, Florida Restaurant Details

Food:

I want to start off by saying that Ralf (my German better half) LOVES Indian food and has visited India on several occasions so the man knows good Indian food when he has it and last night, he had it!

I had bookmarked this place a while back but had not gotten a chance to visit. A lot of the Yelp reviews for their old location warned about the small restaurant and needing reservations. Now that they are in a new locale, I thought “Eh, we’ll be fine, I hear it’s bigger.” Well, I was wrong! Yes, it is bigger, but the line was outside the door! I was already excited knowing that this place really had to be as good as I had heard.

I decided to make my way through the hungry crowd to see if there was a bar area and lo and behold, there was! And as luck would have it (thank you Buddha!) there were 2 seats available right smack at the center of their long and beautiful bar area. I quickly planted my butt on a seat and signaled over to Ralf. Ha!

Like I said, this place was super busy but luckily, we had Scott, who I can only described as the NICEST and most ATTENTIVE bartender I have ever had the pleasure of being served by. We waited quite a bit for him to take our drink order as he had a bar hand but no other bartender helping him out but when he finally got to us, he was all smiles, apologetic, and although Ralf wasn’t planning on a beer, he gave him one due to the wait! How freaking sweet and awesome is that?

So we were having our drinks, chatting it up, admiring the décor (the ornate ceiling is really beautiful) and enjoying our evening, We placed our food order and eagerly awaited as our senses were already being assaulted by all of the aromas emanating from the kitchen.

We ordered the whole wheat Naan bread and the Chicken Tikka Masala (Medium Hot) and it was soooo good! It was cooked to perfection and it had just the right amount of spice to it and the medium hot was just perfect. It had quite a kick to it but nothing you can’t handle.

The sauce was thicker than others I have had in the past so I suspect there was some cream in there which would explain why it tasted so decadent and delicious. The Whole Wheat Naan was sweet and complimented the sauce perfectly. An order comes with only 2 pieces but that was ok because we had the Basmati Rice as well which was more than enough for us.

The food, décor, atmosphere and more importantly, the SERVICE (Thank you Scott!) was on point and will have me coming back here again and again when I am at the Grove. I was so impressed I asked to speak to the manager. I wanted to personally thank him for a great evening. Too many times people only speak up when something goes wrong – we need to speak up when things goes “right” as well!

If you've never been, you gotta go and if you haven't visited their new locale, what are you waiting for???

Best Indian restaurant between Orlando and Miami. Still, I dont understand why they wont make tikka masala paneer!

Food:

I loved the briyani here. One of my friend rated this briyani as best briyani he had in his life. Bit congested though!

Food:

Over hyped place. Need to wait too long. They waiter is rude and brutal.

Food is ok ok. They use plenty of oil in everything which make too greecy food.

Remember it's over hyped place.
