“Honest Review: Flavors of India - Cocoa Beach, FL (4/5 Stars)

Step into a culinary adventure at Flavors of India in Cocoa Beach, where every bite feels like a vibrant journey through India’s rich food culture! I recently indulged in a delightful dine-in experience, and let me tell you, it was a treat worth raving about. The cozy, inviting ambiance instantly set the mood, making it an ideal spot for a fun outing with friends or a cozy family meal.

The menu is a treasure trove of authentic flavors, and I dove into the Chicken Tikka Masala (mild) and Navratan Korma—both bursting with aromatic spices and cooked to perfection. The samosas? Oh, they were a crispy, golden revelation, packed with savory goodness! Paired with the soft, fluffy naan and the indulgent bullet naan, every mouthful was a delight. To top it off, the masala chai warmed my soul with its spiced perfection.

The staff was warm and eager to please, though the hustle of peak hours added a dash of chaos to the service. At $65.20 for a feast for two, the pricing felt like a steal for the generous portions. The only hiccup? Limited seating can turn it into a cozy squeeze when it’s busy. Still, this gem is a must-visit for Indian food enthusiasts, and I’m already counting the days until my next visit—earning it a hearty 4 out of 5 stars!“

“I am so excited to have found this vegan restaurant!!! I met Christos, one of the owners. He was so lovely! I ordered the sweet potato burger. The flavor was OUTSTANDING!!! What a wonderful combination of ingredients, paired with yummy bun and freshest leaf lettuce, tomato and red onion. I got a side of their Asian slaw with shredded kale, brussel sprouts and carrots. Healthy and delicious!!! Tell all your vegan and non vegan friends to eat here right away!!! They will thank you and I thank MoonShine PBK for opening in Cocoa Village.“

“Stopped for brunch this morning first time there. It’s a typical diner. Was disappointed that a business that says Mitchell’s Mimosas had no champagne to make mimosas. It’s not far from a few places that they could’ve picked up a few bottles of sparkling wine if running low. It is Father’s Day after all. Best part of entire experience was the very friendly, efficient waitress Trinity. She was attentive, suggested a few things on the menu, ensured beverages were filled. Food was good- typical diner. Is it a place I would go out of my way for? Probably not. But if I do, I would want Trinity as my server.“

“Banana River Cafe, 1301 S. Patrick Dr., Satellite Beach, FL 32937 5 Stars I swore four years ago I would never go back, yet here I am like fish from yesterfang in the parking lot of a restaurant that at one time (under previous ownership) was my number one breakfast place in Brevard County. After it was sold, it was turned into a joint that wallowed in bad food and even worse service. As I said, that was four years ago. I have since deleted that review. Now, I can say that it is safe to return to the water, but I get ahead of myself. What changed? The new owner/chef is a CIA graduate who did his externship at Michelin Star restaurant Gramercy Tavern in New York City. Emerson Krause turned down a position at the famed restaurant upon graduation to return home and bring Brevard a taste of things seldom sampled in this part of the Sunshine State. I can safely speak for all of my fellow Floridians on the Space Coast when I say, "Thank you, Emerson and welcome home!" After being seated at a delightfully decorated table (I love the paint scheme on the chairs), we were approached by a charming lady named Nicole. Nicole was outstanding in every way a service professional should be. I asked Nicole for an order of the Bacon Sea Salt French Toast, one Texan Potato Stack and a San Antonio Biscuit Bennie. Snapping a few quick pics of the warm environs, I sat back, soaked in the peaceable atmosphere and awaited Nicole's return. The aromas were enticing to such a degree; it was all I could do to take some pictures before digging into the edible artwork before me. First to saunter across my palate was a taste of the Bacon Sea Salt French Toast. One taste and I was deep in Hog Heaven. That bacon! While I love "meat candy" more than almost any other animal flesh, that is not what set this order of the tried and true breakfast staple of French Toast apart. It was the bread and execution. This bread was fresh, thick and griddled to a delightful golden brown. The outside had just the right amount of crunch, while the inside was airy, fresh and wonderfully warm. I could eat this every day and never tire of it. Heaving a sad sigh of regret, I moved on to the next dish to be sampled, the Texan Potato Stack. Every Potato Stack is served with eggs over easy on herb roasted potatoes and topped with jack cheddar cheese sauce with your choice of toast or biscuit. The Texan came with added chorizo, onion, peppers, salsa, guacamole and sour cream. One bite and again, I was done. The flavors cascaded down my gullet like so many drops of gastronomical gratification. The last to dance across my taste buds this morning was the San Antonio Biscuit Bennie. I won't bore you with any more details; suffice it to say that this was on par with the rest of the meal. Everything was cooked to perfection and the flavor combinations were unparalleled in a breakfast biscuit (if this still qualifies as such). The Big Boy says, "If it is breakfast or lunchtime, stop what you are doing and go there right now."“

“Thai 4 You 3824 Murrell Rd., Rockledge, FL 32955 4 Stars With 59 years under my cyclopean belt, I've seen food phases come and go. Some last and eventually become part of the dining landscape, ie, Frozen Yogurt. Thai food has been around for a long time, but it seems to be getting a steroid shot in the keister as Thai joints are popping up with such frequency that you can often find them next to each other and across the street! More often than not, these are also hybrid eateries that serve Thai food and Sushi. I've reviewed more than a handful of these types of restaurants. It is not common to find one that is dedicated to only Thai food. Thai 4 You, corny name and all, is such a place. I was greeted warmly and seated immediately. Almost as soon as I sat down, Adam approached my table and informed me that he would be my waiter for the repast. Adam has a great personality and is a pro all the way. He is also the owner. I asked Adam for the Thai 4 You Special and some Chicken Green Curry (my Thai food test dish). Before too long, and again, I do time these things, Adam returned with our Thai fare. The aromas caressing my olfactory nerve made it difficult for me to snap the before pictures, as all I wanted to do was scarf down. However, like Adam, I too am a professional and was here for a job, not to stuff my pie hole. As you can see, everything looks delicious; now, let's see if the looks are deceiving. My first taste was of Adam's Thai 4 You Special. This is a delectable dish of stir-fried shrimp and beef tossed with a special house Thai sauce, served over a pile of mixed vegetables. The shrimp was juicy and tender, the beef was cooked to perfection and the veggies were delicious. All in all, this was a better-than-average representation of Thai cuisine. Truly tasty on the tastebuds. While the Green Curry sauce was not as creamy as I usually receive in other Thai places, the flavors were definitely popping on the taste buds and far above average. I found the chicken to be tender and succulent, while the veggies were cooked to perfection once again. Whoever was operating the wok in the back certainly knew what they were doing. It was obvious that they didn't just wok in off the street. Thai food is known for its spectacular flavor combinations, which often feature a balance of sweet and tongue-blasting hot. Unlike other spicy foods, one never loses the taste to the spice. Adam served up a prime example of this. I found the Green Curry to hit the palate with heat and flavor. I do love me some good Thai food! The Big Boy says, “It's better than your average Thai slop house and if I were in Rockledge hankering for some Thai food, I would make a beeline to Thai 4 You.”“

“Dining at Banzai Sushi was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The cozy and welcoming atmosphere makes it perfect for a date night with my lovely wife. The food was exceptional—the fish tasted so fresh it practically melted in my mouth. I especially enjoyed the spicy tuna and yellowtail rolls. We also sampled Andy's famous Kimchee and took some home. Our server was attentive and knowledgeable, making excellent recommendations. The owners, Andy and Miss M made us feel like family. Banzai truly stands out for its high-quality food and outstanding service. PS the beef pad kee mao was delicious.“

“First timers - loved it. The restaurant is cute and beachy, the entire staff is great!! Plus the food is amazing! And yes, we got cookies to go!! Highly recommend, it’s worth the wait!!“

“I had lunch today and the brisket and pulled pork was out of this world. The service was exceptional and the staff was extremely friendly. I'll definitely be back.“

“Crackers Island Grille- Cape Canaveral- 3-stars "Flawless execution will trump low-quality ingredients every time." -- The Big Boy "Where will I lunch today?", was my thought as I grabbed my random restaurant generator and headed towards the BBDO mobile. As the name scrawled across my screen, I saw I was heading up the coast to Cracker's Island Grille. Taking my time and enjoying the drive, I had time to reflect a bit on my job. Since I started this over two years ago, BBDO has grown by leaps and bounds topping out at over 14K followers across social media. I am extremely humbled by this and it steels me to continue forward. My GPS told me I had arrived and I found myself in front of a strip mall 1 mile north of the famous Ron Jon's Surf Shop and across from Golf N Gator. I arrived in the BBDO mobile at precisely 11:15 AM and the place was busy. Awaiting my turn, I glanced about the place and was quite taken in by the decor. They have a nice little island/surf theme going and this contributed to a very relaxed atmosphere. After a short wait, I was shown a table, handed a menu and told my server would be right with me. As packed as they were, I wondered what exactly that meant. It wasn't too long before a server approached my table and introduced herself as Brittany. Brittany was very prompt, charming and had our drink order back in no time at all. Along with the drink order, I also requested the Bouillabaisse and one order of the special of the day, Gator tacos (wondering if the meat was fresh based on the proximity of Golf N Gator). Brittany assured me this was not the case. I was sure this made the animal rights people happy, however, I was not. I have to say that first of all, Cracker's Bouillabaisse looked better on the menu than it did in front of me (see pictures for comparison). But, the smells wafting up were pure gourmand nirvana. With just the right amount of heat and all the seafood one could want, the flavors were complex, tantalizing and just a tad hot on the palate. The seafood seemed low quality (frozen, not fresh), but the execution was performed well. The accompanying bread was warm and slathered in garlic butter that added a nice compliment to the seafood stew. Dying to try something I never have before, I eagerly dug into the Gator tacos next. Wow. That is my professional opinion of these delightful tacos. Just, wow. Served on warm flour tortillas with fresh-cut tomatoes and cooked to perfection they were absolutely as delicious as they were unique. The meat was tender, juicy and extremely flavorful. The seasoning really got my taste buds dancing and there was just enough heat to make sure they were not only awake but stayed that way for the duration. The Gator tacos alone were worth the drive up the coast. Not that one needs an excuse for that. As I am sure my loyal readers know, I firmly believe that the only thing that matters in regards to a successful slop house and one that fails is execution, not location, not parking, not service, not interior design (though those all certainly help). If the food is good, as I've said before, you could open a food shack in the middle of the Okefenokee Swamp and people would flock to it. Make no mistake about it, Cracker's is not a fine dining establishment, they use low-quality ingredients, but man oh man you can tell the chef/cook cares about what is slung forth from his kitchen. The execution of all the items I had was done flawlessly, and everything was delicious, especially the Gator Tacos, those were unreal, proving once again what I've said ad nauseum, execution, execution, execution! The Big Boy says, "when in the area and in the mood for some cheap eats and seafood, head on over to Cracker's Island Grille, you won't be disappointed!" #iamthebigboy #bigboydiningout“
