In Short
The place is perfect for a date or an afternoon lunch with the ladies. Their extensive but not unmanageable menu includes dishes from the many diverse regions of the continent, focusing somewhat on the southern towns in and around Goa. Recommendable starters include vegetable or lamb samosas and a classic mulligatawny soup, a thin lentil broth seasoned with ginger, garlic and turmeric. Lunch time offers remarkable bargains including a choice of a vegetarian or meat thali served on a silver tray dotted with tiny bowls filled with all the elements for a complete meal, including a savory homemade yogurt, daal, spiced lentils, a samosa, bread, rice, and an entree from a list that changes daily, plus a sweet custard-like dessert made with shredded carrots.

this restaurant has some of the best Indian food I've ever had. We started out with the Gujarati kachori's and the onion bhajias. Let me add that they were made by an actual Gujarati so they WERE the actual thing! Then we went on to have the paneer mukhni, tikka masala, rogan josh, & the chicken vindaloo. They were not only spicy, but they were also flavorful and the right size. It seems as if restaurants give you such big portions that they have the doggie bag waiting by your order because they know that you're going to take it home!!! But anyway, the naans were warm and fluffy and the rice better than the average rice you get at other restaurants. It is a little expensive but you have to remember that a lot of work goes into a curry and the spices themselves aren't cheap. The only issue is parking- you have to search for it along the streets or in a parking garage which can become pricey. But in all, this restaurant is probably one of my favorites and I would definately come back again!!!

By far, the friendliest staff of any Indian restaurant in Miami - you will feel like family here. And the food is delicious, with many subtle but ingenious updates to traditional Indian fare - the addition of arugula to palak paneer, for instance, is truly inspired. A very respectable wine list, designer martinis and desserts such as their famous chocolate samosas are out of this world. Hip, elegant, modern atmosphere with down-tempo Indian electronic music and comfortable seating indoors and out makes this the perfect dining experience. Very highly recommended.

First of all, they completely changed their menu and style when they moved in mid 2008. All reviews prior to that should be discarded. Instead of the old, traditional menu they've tried create a fusion indian style something.... it's not working. My boyfriend and I have tried them 3 times (hey, we're desperate for indian) and we were sorely dissappointed each time. We have fond memories of the "old" Anokha but this new thing they're doing just isn't working. Specifically, the naan is tired and dried. The shrimp biryani was bland, tasteless. Service ranges from indifferent to non-existent. They make you feel like you're annoying them if you ask for anything. On one visit they brought the bread well after we had finished our feel and got argumentative when we told them we didn't want it. Then they added an 18% tip!!!
