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."

    Best Indian Food in Miami and probably all of South Florida. You can’t go wrong with the most tender tandoori chicken ever it helps they use thighs vs dry beast meat. The Dahl and Saag are fully flavored and creamy. Everything is excellent well priced. Order extra and eat left overs. That’s what I did today.

    Ghee Restaurant truly transports your taste buds on an authentic journey through the vibrant and diverse flavors of India. From the moment you step in, the warm and inviting ambiance sets the stage for an unforgettable dining experience. I've had the pleasure of visiting Ghee on multiple occasions, and each time, I've been blown away by the exceptional quality of the food and the impeccable service. The menu at Ghee is a carefully curated selection of Indian culinary delights, ranging from traditional classics to innovative fusion dishes that pay homage to the rich culinary heritage of the subcontinent. The appetizers, such as the crispy samosas and the melt-in-your-mouth tandoori paneer, are the perfect way to start your culinary adventure. The range of spice levels caters to all palates, ensuring that even those new to Indian cuisine can find something they'll enjoy. Whether you're a seasoned fan of Indian cuisine or a curious newcomer, Ghee Restaurant is a culinary gem that should not be missed. It's a place where the flavors of India come to life, and every visit is a gastronomic adventure that leaves you eager to return for more.

    Everything was great. Food amazing, service impeccable and friendly. Only note, the beverage selection a little limited. If I can suggest, they should add tea/ coffee and more soft drinks like Juice and Better sparkling water ( like San Pellegrino or Perrier) Overall is one of the best Asian restaurants in Florida, highly recommended and I’ll go back many times! Congrats to the team

Our waitress was very attentive and did a great job and giving us recommendations. The ambiance was perfect, not too loud and not too quiet. The restaurant was full of happy customers. We will return…definitely recommend it to everyone!

    The food and service were very good. I had the smoked lamb neck which would have been so much better if diners had the option to add heat. The tandoori chicken was also very good along with beef short rib dosa. Overall Ghee is quite a gem and I definitely recommend it!

    Food was amazing, but operation was a chaos. Especially the reception girls who have no idea how to arrange seating properly. I had reservations and arrived early, they preferred to kept 4 - 6 tables empty than let us sit down. The girl told me they need to keep all those seats empty because they are having a 7-people reservation (which is later than my reservation time). And she offered me to seat at the bar. If I’m ok with seating at the bar, why would I make a table reservation? By my time of reservation, she let people who arrived later than us to seat first. 0 star for that.

    Had few recommendations for Ghee so I went with great expectations. Suffice to say that hype was not Met with food. I do appreciate that food tasted fresh however flavors were a bit experimental. All items were average. Chicken entree and saag paneer were salty. Overall I will not recommend this, I drove 40 miles out to go there and 40 miles to go back.
