Absolutely the most delicious food, of any cuisine, in Orlando. My non-vegetarian husband loved it as much as I did. The portions are huge, everything is freshly prepared, and the selection is plentiful. We ordered appetizers and split a platter between 2 people. We took home enough food for another 2 hefty meals.
The vegetable pakora set the standard for how all pakora should taste. The batter was seasoned beautifully and they were not the slightest bit greasy. I had never tried jalapeno pakora before and now I never want pakora without it. The Mexican samosas are so delicious it should be illegal to leave the restaurant without trying one. Cheesy black bean and corn in a perfectly crisp shell with chilled sour cream dip. I am bursting with fullness from our meal but my mouth waters thinking of those delicious samosas.
We split the North Indian platter that came with EVERYTHING you could want. You get 2 Currys (we had black lentil and paneer Tikka masala), rice, dahl (yellow split pea soup), carrot pickle, 3 sauces, a huge samosa, a small salad, naan, a bread crisp (papadam), AND dessert (gulab jamon- fried dough in syrup). All of this for under $20. I'd like to say that next time we would skip appetizers but they were too delicious so we will just bring bigger appetites.
The interior was clean, the tables and chairs were comfortable. We are already planning our next visits to bring friends and...
Read moreMid July 2023 KHASIYAT - A Hidden Gem!! Decor is minimalist, with vintage tables and chairs. Not a place to visit if you care about ambience. Food is what will drive people here. The place, although no-frills in its decoration, makes up for it with the quality of the food served.
KHASIYAT Authentic, freshly made, Indian home style Gujarati food cooked with love.
In Orlando we were shopping at Patel Bros. and around the lunch hour Just searched on internet and landed in this restaurant to try their Indian Gujarati Buffet.
We choose the buffet over the thali, as we were hungry, which was very good value for money, loads of authentic Gujarati food with a nice homemade touch. We were pleasantly surprised with the quality of the food A variety of vegetarian dishes. Kadhi and dal, three varieties of different vegetables, Lilva Kachori, kadhi pakoda, Bagan Bhartu, Palak paneer, Dum aloo, Gulab jamun, salad, white rice, carrot pickle, raita, Rose milk Shake in the buffet. They served unlimited freshly made roti and Poori right at our table which were soft.
Finger licking food taste in all of them was a huge factor in this review. Highly recommend this place!
Overall ghar ka khana, tasty with a smiling staff. Their hospitality was next level and food tasted too good. It took me back to my mother-in-law’s prepared garam...
Read moreI should berate myself for not heeding to the bad reviews I read about this place.
I was really looking forward to eating at this “authentic Gujarati restaurant “ after reading its rave reviews.
All I got was diarrhea and stomachache there. Went 5 times to the toilet until my stomach was empty. I couldn’t trust myself to walk confidently without soiling my pants.
Went home and spent the rest of my day resting in bed. I was too weak.
The main problem is the stale food.
Another observation I made was that Mr Chavda was friendly and polite only with his old customers.
The toilet in his bathroom is of a very poor quality. It doesn’t work properly especially if you have to use it multiple times after getting an upset stomach from the restaurant food.
I was so exhausted after visiting the restaurant toilet several times that it was very difficult to drive home.
A caveat to all customers:
When you eat at this restaurant, please make it a point to ask if the food that you are being served is absolutely fresh or how old it is.
Seniors, please remember, bad food can give you a heart attack.
Friends, NEVER TRY TO SAVE MONEY BY EATING AT A CHEAPER RESTAURANT. At the end of the day, you wouldn’t save any money if you spent $5000 at...
