FOR A BUFFET!
Makes me want to not come here again.
We had such a positive experience- food, atmosphere, service. Definitely will be back
I just LOVE the lunch buffet because I can sample so many tastes in one visit!!! The food is
The restaurant is spotless and the people are so friendly. I love the light bright furnishings!!!
I would highly recommend this restaurant … Minerva’s was chosen as the sole cater the Festival of Lights at the Straz center…. That speaks to the quality of their food!!!
Got a cockroach in desert when I ordered chicken value meal.
Terrible experience!
I rarely leave negative reviews, but this place absolutely deserves it. The service was unbelievably slow — we waited forever just to get water, and even longer for our food. And when it finally arrived, it was cold and tasted nothing like authentic Indian cuisine. Bland, greasy, and just plain disappointing. Definitely not worth the money or the time. I do not recommend this restaurant to anyone. Stay away!
Very strange experience today...
Ordered delivery of the Hyderabad goat biriyani , which was on BOGO.
Received delicious biriyani. It was the contents which confounded me. Mixed in with the pieces of goat , was a substantial number of PIECES of CHICKEN AND 8 LARGE TAMARIND SEEDS !! I almost cracked a tooth on the seeds! Will be reaching out to the restaurant for an explanation. Perhaps it's a holiday weekend special? 🤔
Great lunch buffet and beautiful aesthetic with amazing artwork!!!!! Special shout out to the manager and his staff for being so kind, professional, and polite. What amazing service!!!!
I was really looking forward to a good Indian dinner, however, Minerva restaurant was a huge let down.
The mix grill was a huge disappointment. I'm quite sure it was reheated as the meat was tough and dry, except for the prawns.
The biriyani was just a spice and rice mix. The condiments were far from original
I truly hope that my American friends do not think what you get here is authentic Indian cuisine, far from it.
The service was friendly though (she was alone, handling cash as well and perhaps overwhelmed ) and the roti was fresh.
All in all, not a good Ambassador of Indian cuisine.

I can never say enough about this place. The food is just absolutely wonderful. The spices, the heat of spicy dishes is just right. Had fried Tilapia the taste as excellent. I just enjoy myself each time I go there. As I talk about it I am craving it again. Just Yum.
