======second review====== Okay, I said Id review this place again when I came back and ordered my favorites: Samosa, Naan, Bullet Naan, and Goat Vindaloo. To start, the Samosas were smaller than most, but refreshingly packed with a curried chickpea and green pea filling. Delicately spiced and not to dry. The fried wrapping was thin, allowing the filing to take centre stage. The Pappadam was crisp, as expected, but the flavor was richer and more musky than Ive had before, made with roasted fennel. A very interesting resist and quite pleasing. The main course: Basmati Rice - perfectly cooked as always. Naan - always a favorite. Soft warm and buttery Bullet Naan - made with cilantro and green chillies, buttery with a hint of spice. Goat Vindaloo - very interesting take on typically the hottest curry most Indian restaurants will serve. The base tomato curry is pleasing and sweet to the palate, something I wasnt expecting. The sweet curry coats the palate before releasing the payload of heat that quickly replaces the sweet curry with heat, bring sweat to the brow and a year to the eye. The Naan is always perfect, as is the rice. The range of flavors the kitchen use are always well balanced and pleasing. Ive upgraded my review to 5 stars. Delicious and consistent quality. ====first review===== One of the very few places to have an Indian buffet on a Saturday, and definitely worth it! My first visit here so I tried the onion pakoda, lamb rohan, chicken tikka masala, and a tandoori chicken thigh, with a modest amount of rice. When I got back to my table, a glass of sparkling Perrier and fresh, quartered naan were waiting. While they do have beer or wine on offer, I opted for water. The Baan was prefect, warm and drizzled with ghee. The onion pakoda tended to be smaller than others Ive tried, but they were perfectly cooked and the flavours blended wonderfully. The lamb rohan was delicately seasoned in its thick sauce, as was the chicken tikka masala, both head and shoulders better than Ive had locally, and on par with, though seasoned differently than Taste of India in Melbourne, FL. What stood out for me was the tandoori chicken. Really the best Ive ever had. The chicken was adequately seasoned, and still very most with no hint of the dry leathery overcooked tandoori which is all too common. 5 stars for the buffet, but Im holding back until I sample the menu. Pro Tip: if you can, show up shortly after they open, which is 11:30a most days. They dont have bottled still water, so its either tap water or Perrier.

My husband and I have dined here twice in the past week, and we plan to happily work our way through the menu. A soothing atmosphere, clean, lovely plate-ware and silverware, but thats nothing compared to the food. The naan is totally fresh and hancrafted (the minced lamb/mint naan is WOW). I admit I cant remember each dish weve ordered. If youre a bit intimidated by a lack of knowledge of Indian cuisine, just ask the lovely woman who runs the restaurant with her husband. Looking forward to trying the buffet on the weekend, but make note its available every day, I think, during lunch hours. We used to drive all the way to Melbourne for good Indian food (we live on Merritt Island), but heres our new spot. Well done! Stop in and try the naan and molly kafta ( I probably spelled that wrong)---dip the naan in the sauce--YUMMY

Magnificent! The NAAN is fresh, homemade. The eggplant appetizer was outstanding. I had a chicken dish with creamy tomato (C-1 Tikka Masala) and it was perfect. My husband had chicken with mint, ginger and garlic (T-4 Hairyali) served on a hot skillet on a bed of cabbage and it was totally moist - superb! This little gem that seats approximately 32 people is amazing. They serve up beer and wine and have a good variety with very reasonable pricing. The entrees are priced between $13.99 on up, but well worth it. I have dietary restrictions and they were very accommodating, providing suggestions and even modifying item selected. Great service, very friendly. Oh, and it was my first experience eating Indian cuisine, but my husband is very familiar with this and he was totally happy with everything!

First off, the food was PHENOMENAL. The restaurant is tiny and the second you open the door you are in the dining area which consists of 9 tables. We were ignored by 2 gentlemen that came out from the kitchen and finally the female waitress came over and told us the wait would be 10 minutes and we went outside to wait because there was nowhere inside to do so. We ordered appetizers that never arrived but the entrees were out within 5-10 minutes. The Chicken Korma was delicious, the Goat Madras was tasty but hard work because it was 50% meat and 50% bone and bone fragments. I would definetly go back but wouldnt order goat again because of the bones. 2 entrees, 2 naan, rice and mango chutney set us back $40 which seems about average. Best Indian cuisine Ive had in the States.

My wife and I say **Awesomeness! *** This is my email, though my wifes name is on my gmail account--my name is Mark Roney and my wife and I (Judith Roney) are so happy these talented folks have opened Flavors of India. Weve been here twice and are going to trade in our El Tuscan Wednesday night habit for this wonderful place until weve tried everything on the menu. Clean, good Indian music, sweet owner and her husband. An adventure--each dish fragrant and crafted with care. Our new place for dining out. Looking forward to trying the buffet. Minced lamb naan and the cheese naan amazing!

Essen war okay, nicht weltbewegend aber für den Preis in Ordnung. Bedienung war freundlich aber nicht wirklich begeistert bei der Arbeit. Wer außer den typischen amerikanischen Speisen im Urlaub was anderes ausprobieren möchte - da ist Falvors of India ganz gut geeignet.

We ordered the deep fried cauliflower that was nice n zingy, then I ordered the butter chicken and my wife had the baked chicken that looks like a fluffy popt pie but has chicken and rice and little eggs. She ended her meal with a chai tea and I was cooling down after some delicious Indian food with just enough zing to let me breathe clearly with this little seasonal allergy I have. The garlic ban is perfectly crunchy and perfect for dipping the sauce too. We will definitely come back as it is the best Indian restaurant in the Cocoa Beach area.

This restaurant can simply be described as a 5 star restaurant, from their cutlery and plates to the ambiance to their elegant dishes. We traveled for over an hour just to come back to this restaurant on our vacation and seriously suggest this restaurant to you. Watch out for your taste buds, otherwise they might explode from the taste of their food. I personally suggest the Paneer Butter Masala and the Malai Kofta. Cheers, from an experienced Indian food connesiour.
