As far as Indian restaurants go, both Amrit Palace in Ocala and Shiva in Mt. Dora are quite good. I tend to give the nod to Shiva as being more authentic inasmuch unlike Amrit Palace there is no beef on the menu. The drawback is that Shiva is quite small.

I know of no Indian buffets in the area, but I have to question in an era of COVID, why would anyone go specifically looking for a buffet?

Dam, after that feast did you let your dog do its business on that neighbors lawn who everyone dislikes?

no, my dog is electronically restrained and doesn't go off my property. Please don't try to turn a nice thread about Indian cuisine into another dog poop thread

Tried Shiva in Mt. Dora, it was a nope for me. There however a few lunch buffets in Gainesville. Make a day of it, Indian Buffet then Trader Joes! Google the names, then call to make sure the buffet tables are open, because of Covid.

Does the Indo-American Club consist of any Muslims? I did not see a Muslim Club in the directory, if you know of one can you let me know. Thanks

Fabulous Indian (Italian, Chinese, Greek, Brazilian, Colombian, Portuguese, Spanish, Thai,) restaurants on Long Island. Diwan for one, in port Washington and hicksville. Boy, am I going to miss Long Island.

Would also like to see more Indian grocery items in the international aisles of the supermarkets. At least I can buy tikka masala and pour it over my chicken and fish dishes.

I find a very poor selection of international cooking spices/items anywhere here locally.
Have found Amazon VERY helpful in ordering anything specific I want. Check it out. You would be amazed the food items, to include specialty meats, available.

I have an idea for you. "The Fifth Element Authentic Indian Restaurant" in Sanford, Florida. It is not far from the Sanford, Airport. It is about a 75-minute drive from my house. However, I always try for flights late in the day, or with a morning arrival, so I can stop at this restaurant for their wonderful Indian Buffet! There are days when I think I would not mind the two-and-a-half hour round trip just to eat there - maybe plan some other activities near Sanford and make a day of it - but so far, I have only gone on "airport days".

Aashirwad Indian in Orlando Millenia area that we tried recently. Same place as above review. No Buffet now! Lamb curry tasted like bottled spaghetti sauce.

I lived for years next to Little India in Cerritos, CA where there were at least 30 restaurants on the street. Vegetarian, Chinese/Indian, Buffets, Chat Houses, Halal Meats. It was amazing.
