Jagannath Indian Cafe — Restaurant in Citrus Park

If you're a fan of Indian cuisine and find yourself in the Tampa area, do yourself a favor and come to this place! The owner is an absolute gem, very kind and humble. But it's the food that really steals the show.

We got aloo gobi, which was cooked to perfection but it was the daal makhani that really blew us away. The owner listened to our request for Indian spicy and absolutely delivered! The dishes had a kick to it and were perfectly balanced and the fact that it came with rice on the side made it an even more satisfying!

The chapatis were a great too and a special shoutout to the generous portions, we were more than satisfied by the end of our meal, and even had some leftovers for future meals.

The owner is a professional chef, with a true passion for his craft. And based on our experience, I can confidently say that this place serves up some of the best Indian...

I visited Tampa during December for 4-5 days. I am a very picky food eater and I eat only Jain foo. Its hard-to-find good chefs who can make good Jain Food (without onion, Garlic, Potato). I ordered Dal Makhani, Dahi Vada, Roti, Paneer and Biryani. I was so much surprised that Chef made best Jain Biryani I have ever tried. All other items were awesome as well. For next 4 days, I continue to order food from him. Every time a different item and for each item he continues to surprise me. On my last day, we decided to get food from him before going to Orlando. We requested - Jain Chinese food which was excellent. He made awesome Laccha-pak.

Before returning to my hometown, I again picked up the awesome Biryani and this time, it tasted even better.

I would travel to Tampa just to eat food...

Jagannath India Cafe is a quaint little family owned small business, run from the garage providing the best home cooked food by a great chef and at a very nominal price.

We were visiting from California and it was late in the evening, when we ordered food for a quick take out and were elated to have one of the best dinner we've ever had. We had ordered laccha paranta, roti, and panner makhani. Every single item was the best it could be, including the side rice which came part of the meal.

To add to that, the hospitality by the Chef and his family is unforgettable and I thank them from the bottom of my heart.

If you are in Tampa, near the temple or need best home cooked food, then this...
