Visited for second time (in a year), at 1:00PM (lunch), Sunday,July 5, 2015. Dining area looked very clean. Food was delicious. As is usual with Indian restaurants, Vegan options abound here. My wife got Bombay Aloo and said it was the best she'd ever had. I ordered Okra Bhindi, which was also excellent The default spice levels were very nice (moderately hot) for two accustomed to Indian cuisine); Inexperienced diners might play it safe and ask for a "mild" spice level. Service was very attentive but not intrusive. By the way, the website needs work. Lunch menu online is quite brief compared to the menu we were offered. Perhaps only the dinner menu (with larger portions and prices) is offered on Sundays, a practice we've encountered elsewhere. Bottom line... if you go for lunch on Sunday, have an early or light breakfast. Otherwise, these portions may seem over-whelming. Garlic Nan (flat-bread) was very, very good. The dinner menu posted online only shows appetizers. Website menus for another of Ayesha's other locations was more complete. This was our main meal of the day, and we both left full and carrying leftovers.

Good Indian food in Palmetto Bay. Great food. I went to celebrate my sisters birthday and they took reservations and gave us a private room. We brought our own cake, and they put it on a platter and served it.The food was delicious, and the prices were reasonable. Very good selection. The service is a little too over the top, but overall a wonderful experience. By far the best Indian restaurant in the area. It's spacious and and the food is fresh. YUM!

Great food and service. This was our 2nd time at the restaurant.
Both times we loved the food and the excellent service.
We have tried the chicken tikka masala, the lamb korma, the lamb rogangosh, and the naan. The soups are also delicious. Their naan is always fresh and great.
If you go you will not be disappointed.
The mango lassy was also great.
Awesome place!!!

Excellent!!!!!!!!!. I was super happy with every aspect of this restaurant. The food, service and atmosphere was great. My server was well informed of the dishes and was able to explain the ingredients of each item. I loved it would and would definitely go back will also recommend to others. The prices were ok for the servings though but it's fine dining so I guess it works.

...I have been so disappointed with Indian food in Miami till Ayesha Indian Restaurant in Pinecrest, they have another in Key Biscayne! It was a hike, deep down south Miami but so worth it. I get the feeling most of the Indian restaurants cook their meat separately and add ready made sauce on top. You can see and taste the meat hasn’t absorbed the sauce when you bite into the meat. Not Ayesha, my Lamb Apna were tender morsels soaked in a creamy tomato sauce, I noticed they used curry leaves which makes all the difference. Each sauce had its own distinct flavors and spices, that’s what I love about curries.  It’s cooked over low heat for a long time so all the spices get to work their magic.  The smell and taste of curry leaves made me so homesick for my mom’s cooking. Well, you can’t have curry without naan.  So,

SOOOO good. I finally decided to try Indian Food and Ayesha did not disappoint from the service to the food. I told the waiter i had never ate Indian food before, and he took his time to explain the menu to me. When the food came out we were in love, it taste so good! My Husband and I will definitely be coming back very soon.

We order a dal makhani and palak paneer along with garlic Naan. The curries were great in taste but were a bit thick in consistency. The garlic naan was delicious, exactly how it should be. We also ordered a tomato soup and it was good too.

Went for late lunch today. The food was pretty good. My son loved it and he’s a picky eater!! He had the chicken samosas and the garlic naan with the chicken tikka masala. I had the lamb rogan josh. And for dessert the rasmalai and gulab jamoon to go. The mango lassi was pretty good also. I also had the lamb biryani we ordered from Uber eats at work and it was also divine! The Kashmiri naan was also nice. The nuts and raisins were made into a paste and spread in a plain naan.

I loved it......I am no Indian food connoisseur but this was awesome food. It's been some time and we came by, all I have to say is my taste buds are HAPPY.....our waiter Pana was the best with his suggestions...I am still not an Indian Food connoisseur but the Naan breads were very flavorful. The chicken Tikka Masala was soo nice creamylicious.....the samosas were tasty and full of filling. No more to say I really like this place......

Francis was our waiter- he was a fountain of recommendations. Definitely a lot of love, knowledge and passion that goes into the food. They're conscientious about food preferences right out the gate. Ask him about the seafood, and watch his face light up! The best waiter for indecisive diners to a new restaurant. Very flavorful food, our meal was a tad sweeter than other Indian fare, just the nature of curry. Opt for tandoori or masala if you want the savory dishes laden with spices Indian cuisine is famous for. The food was delicious and the atmosphere really helps you forget you're in Miami while you're there. That was arguably the best part about this place, second to the service and food. If you're in the neighborhood, don't be dissuaded by its unassuming exterior, this is a true gem in the heart Palmetto Bay!

I've been considering checking this place out for years and so glad I finally did! Don't be deceived by the appearance on the exterior! Inside it's cozy, cute and charming. We were quickly greeted and seated. Service was excellent. They brought us papadums with chutney to snack on while our food was being worked on. The onion chutney was spicy and delicious. The food came out fast and I noticed it had its own unique flavor (different from the curries I'm used to/ have had before) but still soooo good! A little bit on the more expensive side and portions were a bit smaller than some other restaurants but not a big deal unless you love taking leftovers home. I enjoyed it and will definitely be returning.

They were awarded "Best" in 2013 and it's no doubt that they are, in my opinion. Their service and food is always done with excellence. I love this place, the Owner, and the staff. Definitely a must try place. You will not regret it. The food is amazing !

The food was delicious. The chicken tikka masala was savory, the naan bread was soft with just the right amount of garlic and herbs, the kebab was had great citrus tones and cilantro, and the waiters were the best of all. Very kind and took the time to make great recommendations. My wife has a picky palate and she liked it here too. Would definitely come again.

I come here occasionally and am in love. Butter chicken was delicious, strongly recommend if you’re dining in person. It was a little spicy for mild. Chicken tikka masala was a flavor festival, please try it. Garlic naan is a must try, I never eat here without it. A little pricey but worth it for the service and quality.

We have now come here several occasions and have always had superb attention by our waiters and top quality food. It is on the pricey side but you are not overpaying here at all. Would recommend for Indian cuisine to anyone. The coconut curry is spectacular!!!
