Mushy Meal

by Prencess1

New to FL and lover of Indian cuisine. This restaurant is close to hotel and decided to try a to go meal. Their chicken tikka masala was mushy and over cooked. The tomato based sauce was thick and had a slightly burned taste. Diner beware...if FL Indian food taste like this, I am going to stop eating it. The basmati rice was flavorful.

• Pros: Quick to go service
• Cons: Meal less than desirable taste

This family Indian restaurant, named for a diamond, sometimes shimmers.

The Scene
Sequins on wall hangings and mats under glass add sparkle to white walls and red carpet and tablecloths. This split-level restaurant has a private party room upstairs.

The Food
Chef/owner Reis Fernandes offers more than 40 entrees: rice dishes, tandoori (clay oven) meats, shrimp and lobster specialties (served with soup), and many vegetarian selections. His hometown recipes include Goan lamb xacuti and Bombay aloo, potatoes in a cumin-tomato sauce. Order the pakora appetizer: chicken, veggies, or cheese coated with chickpea flour before frying. Prefer a lighter, milder start? Try the yellow lentil soup. Chicken tikka masala sets the tenderest nuggets swimming in a tomato-based sauce; make sure to order one of the breads and raita (yogurt salad) on the side.

Authentic Indian Food

by Breehana

My husband and I accidently found Kohinoor. We were looking for a better than average restaurant (TGIF, etc...). We are now frequent visitors. Kohinoor not only has a wonderful menu; it is romantic and the service is great. If you are looking for something special and authentic than Kohinoor is the place!

• Cons: wait on weekends
