Guru Fine Indian Cuisine warms up taste buds
I never thought orange walls and black furniture would be so inviting. At Guru Fine Indian Cuisine this color combination does not look like Halloween, but instead like a glowing sanctuary for good food.
If you're not sure what you like in the way of Indian food, Guru has an affordable Lunch Express menu, where each dish comes in small portions and is under $5. My friend and I each got two $5 dishes and shared them all. If you buy two dishes off the lunch menu, your meal comes with rice, raita and a small salad.
Take my advice and order the garlic stuffed naan. It's very yummy. And then you can soak up each morsel of sauce with your bread, instead of licking your plate.
The dinner menu features appetizers, Tandoori dishes, vegetarian, beef, chicken, lamb and seafood dishes, breads and dessert.
The Tandoori selections include shrimp kebabs, whole snapper, classic Tandoori chicken and lamb chops. As with most Indian restaurants, Guru has a hearty selection of vegetarian dishes. The channa masala, dal makani and Mumbai subzi will have vegetarian mouths watering.
Guru features traditional dishes such as lamb vindaloo, chicken tikka masala, vegetable samosas, beef tomato curry, basmati rice and cucumber raita. Dinner entrees range from $15 to $25.
You can order take-out here, but not delivery. Call the restaurant for take-out orders.
For other Indian restaurants in Miami, try House of India (which has a great buffet) or Mint Leaf, both in Coral Gables.
If you want to cook your own food, you've got to try cooking classes at Ayesha's Kitchen.
