A pursuit for knowledge was the stimulus and continues to be the driving force behind Chef Niven’s career. Ghee means PURE and has a symbolic meaning both spiritually and in the kitchen of an Indian home. The restaurant encompass traditional Indian home cooking, ingredient driven using local artisan purveyors. Chef Niven highlights the experience of dining at Ghee: "I want to my guests to walk into Ghee with the sense of entering my home. I want them to feel at home. I want them to smell the aromas and spices and get more engaged in their meal. One of the things that I always tell my cooks is, ask questions, be inquisitive if you don’t know. I want the same for my guests."

We went with high hopes and were not all disappointed. We tried tasting menu, it was amazing. For someone who wants to try as many dishes as possible it was well worth the price. Definitely recommend to try tasting menu once!

The service was bad. The server served our wine and didn't come back until dessert. I had to serve the wine the entire meal. I asked for more water that never came. We were asked four our parking ticket for validation but were not given the ticket. I had to ask for it.

I highly recommend the Masala Dosa with Sambar and the Samosa Chaat for appetizers. I love the Daal Makni and the Chana Masala and my wife likes the Chicken Tika Masay. All the main dishes are wonderful. Reminds me of my meals in India.

Had the smoked lamb neck, second time having this dish, and the presentation this time was astonishing. The whole neck was served so I was able to get the marrow and extra tender meat in between the segments. Delicious to say the least. My wife and I love this place.

I don’t often leave reviews which says a lot about this gem of a spot! I convinced my boyfriend for us to go have Indian for dinner, which he was not super excited about. (May have been his first time eating Indian food). And all I can say is we were impressed! I had heard of Ghee from a coworker and had been wanting to visit for a while, but almost always came to mind on a Monday, which is a day they are closed. I’m sooo glad to have finally gone and will def be back soon! Being our first time there, our waitress, Genesis, recommended the tasting menu which includes their most popular items and this way you get to try a variety of dishes. Very happy to have opted for this as we got to experience a burst of flavors. Every single dish was 5 stars. I’ll stop there and tell you to drop what you’re doing and go plan your next meal there :)

The food was delicious! We ordered many food items and 2 drink items and weren’t disappointed by anything! We ordered Dal Makhani, Chana, Saag Paneer, Chicken Tikka Masala, Seed Naan, Garlic Seed Naan, Ghost Pepper Cheddar Seed Naan (this was a especially delicious), as well as a Strawberry Lassi and a house made Limeade drink. We also ordered the Turmeric Marinated Fish Curry (which we liked but didn’t love as much as the other dishes). The ambiance was lovely and meal was so flavorful! Being that we’re out of towners (from various other States) we’d definitely look forward to another meal soon here again! Ghee will be a Miami staple for us from now on!

The food didn’t even taste like Indian food. It was bland and has no taste at all. All gravies tasted like tomato paste. The restaurant charges 20% tip by itself. So I guess the people working their don’t care because they gonna get their gratuity no matter what.

Delectable and enjoyable, as always. Green papaya salad and Sticky Date Cake are true savor-with-your-eyes-closed standouts. The Beef Korma, Chicken Tikka Masala, and Duck Confit Samosas keep us dreaming of coming back again and again. Tried the Tamarind AF cocktail, which was zingy and delicious. Always love how we can taste the love in their food no matter how may times we have enjoyed it.

Excellent food, excellent service, and convenient parking. What more could we ask? The dishes were flavorful with just the right level of spices. Even the kids who do not typically like spicy food were happy. We ordered a combination of veg and non veg dishes. Both types were very good. The number of choices are limited, but it was not an issue for us. Overall, a memorable experience!

We come here often and love the food. It is simply amazing! What usually changes from time to time is the level of service and/or noise levels. This time we had a very complacent and transactional server. Not really into it, too non challans and passive. Not rude, of course, but uncaring. Patel was there with a large party of guests that I think distracted the servers around us, they were too focused on the large group he was tending to. The music level was ridiculously high. They played rowdy rock and roll for some time before switching to Indian music when Patel's party arrived. However, it was modern Indie pop and not the subtle quiet melodic traditional music they have played before and sets a very proper mood to the atmosphere of the place. Still, it did not distract us from the awesome dishes that were brought to the table. We normally stay and talk for a little time after dinner, but this time we felt compelled to leave as soon as we finished because of the improper atmosphere of the place.
