From reading reviews I can tell that some of these people have not been exposed to real Indian food. I am an Indian food connoisseur, I have eaten at many Indian restaurants all over the world (and in the US) and can say this was the most bland, poor excuse for Indian cuisine. It ranks last on my list for any Indian food I have ever tasted. It will be most memorable to me for the most laughable imitation of Indian cuisine. I don’t usually write bad reviews but I really had to warn people, if you are really into authentic Indian or wanting to experience what it’s all about, this is not the place and the real crime is that people are going to think this is what Indian cuisine is like. To the people who raved about this place I can sadly deduce that your exposure has been minimal. Even accounting for changes to make it more palatable to the American taste buds, this was a total disservice to Indian cuisine. Even when I cook Indian food for My American friends I can tone it down and it will still be tasty. If you want really tasty, mouth watering Indian food that will make a lasting memory - this is definitely not it. We did not even finish any of the dishes. Watered down to the point of bland and not representative of the exciting pleasure of real tasty spices. If you are a person who has really little tolerance for anything spicy this is the place for you. But again the end product no way represent the tastiness and glory of Indian cuisine. The Indian places along Southern Blvd and Okeechobee Blvd is...
Read moreWhile on vacation from Chicago, we were on the lookout for an Indian restaurant that could hold its own within the crowd of excellent dining options in the North Palm Beach area. Zeera Indian (and beyond, including Nepali and other Asian) Cuisine more than delivered, offering an experience that felt both authentic and unique. The goat masala, cooked korma style, was the highlight of our meal. The tender, bone-in goat had clearly been simmered to perfection, and the rich, dark, and aromatic, savory but not too creamy sauce was a refreshing departure from the usual I have experienced in Chicago. Paired with butter naan, it was a dish that was both comforting and memorable in equal measures. The delightful tandoori shrimp were equally impressive. Cooked to perfection and served on a sizzling skillet, they featured a unique garlic-forward marinade that set them apart from the standard tandoori flavors, staying juicy and flavorful without overcooking.
The drinks and dessert rounded out our experience beautifully. The tamarind whiskey sour was a real standout, with its tamarind ginger syrup adding a creative twist that elevated the classic cocktail. For dessert, the mango kulfi was a delightful surprise—rich and creamy with a slightly “burnt” flavor, topped with whipped cream and a crisp cookie. The service was warm and attentive without being overbearing, making the whole evening feel relaxed and special. Zeera is a gem that we’d eagerly revisit, and it’s easily one of the best Indian meals we’ve...
Read moreI KNOW Indian food, and everything about this place was great, the food was absolutely fantastic. Unfortunately, it is tucked away in Crystal Cove plaza, which means if you don’t know it’s there, you don’t know it’s there. Indian food is so broad and there are so many different types, this place combines some of the best. You know it’s good food when you go there for lunch and order dinner to go lol.
I had never had Momo chicken, which are Nepali dumplings, Yum Yum Yum. Tandoori chicken was fantastic, so moist and flavorful with a side of tikka masala sauce, which was such a pleasant treat. The meat samosas were filled, dinner crust than typical and delicious. We ordered the lamb biryani to go, the portion was huge, and we practically licked the container clean at dinner.
TIP: when ordering certain dishes, keep spice levels in mind. The vindaloo is already spicy, make sure to order it mild. I almost can’t explain how good it was. The butter naan was better than I have had in recent times, which was a real surprise. Most times even when naan isn’t great (like pizza) it’s good. This was great.
Another treat was to see a full liquor bar, happy hour. The prices, we thought, were very reasonable. We skipped dessert, way too full. We’re going to be back with our friends, especially since this place is in our backyard. I’m looking forward to try all kinds of other dishes there.
Sidenote, I wish they had a Sunday brunch...
