Guru Indian Bistro — Restaurant in Bonita Springs

Our recent visit to Guru Indian Bistro, owned by the talented Sonya with over 30 years of expertise in the restaurant world, was nothing short of extraordinary. This five-star gem is a must-visit for anyone who appreciates authentic Indian cuisine served with finesse and care.

We began our culinary journey with Papadam paired with a mango chutney that was absolutely divine—a perfect combination of sweet and tangy flavors that set the tone for the evening.

Next, we shared a Mulligatawny soup, which was hearty and aromatic, and an order of onion bhaji, fried to golden perfection. Both were excellent and left us eagerly anticipating the main courses.

For the entrée, we indulged in two dishes: Murgh Tikka Masala: Tender, boneless Tandoori chicken sautéed with bell peppers in a creamy, tomato-based sauce that was rich and flavorful. Gosht Vindaloo: Sautéed lamb pieces with potatoes in a traditional Goan Vindaloo coconut curry. The blend of sweet, sour, and spicy notes was perfectly balanced and truly memorable. These were beautifully complemented by fragrant saffron basmati rice, which tied all the flavors together seamlessly. Every dish was a testament to Sonya's skill and passion for creating exceptional Indian cuisine. The ambiance, service, and overall experience were top-notch. This was our first visit to Guru Indian Bistro, but it certainly won’t be our last. Highly recommended for anyone looking to savor the best of Indian food in Bonita...

We decided to expand our palates and not go for the usual Italian. I had read about this local Bonita Springs restaurant and it sounded wonderful so we gave it a try. First, we were graciously welcomed by Sophia, the owner of Guru, at the door. Her husband is the chef behind the delicious aromas we inhaled immediately upon entering. The tables and chairs were very comfy and the dining room nicely lit with low lights and a tinkling of Indian music in the background. The menu was filled with so many items that tempted us so we ordered 2 apps, a vegetarian platter and a tandoori platter, that were so flavorful with the freshest of sauces. Our dinner and freshly made bread followed with just the right level of heat that we specified with Sophia. The beef entree I ordered was incredible! Tender, flavorful, different, aaahhhhhhhh, different. The rice was divinely fluffy. My husband enjoyed immensely a shrimp curry entree. Service was very kind and gracious as well. We can’t wait to go back! Who knew we would love the flavors of Indian food! You can’t help to when you dine at Guru! The 2...
