5 Best Indian Restaurants near Palm Harbor

“I took my daughter to Discovery Indian in Palm Harbor for her birthday dinner, and frankly, this was some of the best Indian food I have had in my life. I’ve eaten Indian cuisine all over the U.S. and extensively throughout Pinellas County, so I can tell when a kitchen is cutting corners. This place does not cut corners. The Food: This is Indian "soul food" at its finest. You can taste the difference between scratch-made cooking and the "sauce-in-a-jar" shortcuts many other places rely on. Aloo Tikki Chaat: If you order one thing, make it this. It was "love at first bite." The tamarind chutney was exquisitely balanced, and the mint chutney provided a cooling finish without stepping on the other flavors. The combination of sweet, cool, and savory was unlike anything I've tasted before. Entrees: We shared the Chicken Tikka Masala (excellent depth of flavor with perfect cardamom rice) and the Shrimp Biryani, which was executed with traditional techniques and total precision. Garlic Naan: You can tell immediately that this was made from scratch and cooked the right way in a tandoor. Mango Lassi: Don't skip this! It’s the perfect accompaniment to the meal. The Ambiance: One of the best parts of the evening was the atmosphere. It was refreshingly QUIET. In a world where every restaurant feels the need to blast loud music or have 20 different football games playing on screens, Discovery Indian is a sanctuary. I was actually able to enjoy my meal and have a conversation with my daughter without being overstimulated. The Service: The care and love for food shown in the kitchen extends to the overall experience. It was a relaxed, attentive, and high-quality dining experience from start to finish. We are already planning to come back and eat our way through the rest of the menu. If you want authentic flavors and a peaceful place to enjoy them, go here.“

“5 stars! We ate here today. Hands down the best Indian cuisine I’ve ever had. Eaten at many Indian restaurants and while many of them are very good the flavor profiles at Curries is exceptional. Recommend mango chicken, garlic & onion naan breads, tandoori chicken, butter chicken. Taj Mahal beer was light and paired well with the meal. The super frosty mug was a nice touch. We can’t wait to come back again. They offer a weekend buffet which will be awesome to try the many other dishes. Staff was friendly and Sumi our waitress was very kind and a wealth of knowledge regarding Indian spices/remedies.“

“I had the lamb tikka masala and it was excellent! The dining area is upscale and the service was outstanding. Although not inexpensive, for the quality, quantity, and overall experience, I would definitely recommend Delhi Palace. They have an extensive selection of vegetarian dishes for those who prefer such and the sauces are very good.“
