Best Indian food in Florence. They have best saag paneer that I have ever had. The butter chicken was delicious and the chicken was cubed at perfect size!! The mango yogurt drink was very refreshing. Overall this was an excellent dining experience topped off with a game of cricket playing.PERFECTION!!
This place is amazing!! I could eat here every day! The medium heat leaves a tingle in your mouth, but is not over spicy. I would give this restaurant 10 stars if I could. Great size portions, we ate it all!!
I rate this lovely place 100/10 if i could. The first 7 photos are from the first time I went & enjoyed every bit of it. The last 5 photos are from the second time I went which was yesterday Dec1, 2025 and I brought my Auntie with me & we both enjoyed it!! The food, our waiter, our wine, the owner, everything was amazing
The experience was superb! We came in their 2nd day of opening. I had smoked chicken curry (muld) and it was exceptional! Simply delicious. The attention was warm and thoughtful, very little waiting time and the flavors... really great. We hope to become regulars!
Had a party of 12. Everyone got there by 6:15. My husband and I had the chicken 65 hot, the mutton tikka marsala hot, and the chicken goan medium with garlic naan. Everything was delicious! The only thing i'd switch is spice from medium to hot, but I was being cautious from past experiences... Fairly quiet for dinner time which I enjoy
Florence, SC!!!! If you haven't eaten here yet ya'll need scoot your butts down as fast as possible. I had the garlic and cilantro Nana. They used FRESH garlic and cilantro and it was so incredibly soft. My curry was the bomb. The chef customized my spice level for me and he even did one better making my curry with a coconut milk base. The basmati rice was perfectly cooked, nice and loose, not sticky, not al dente just right. And come check out their bar. They have premium quality liqour, beer and wine. They don't skimp on the level of quality and variety. The chef was even awesome, came out and asked if I was enjoying the food. "Yes" was an insufficient answer for that question. I hope this review can better answer that question. Thank you for the great food, thank you for the great service. Come on down and give these guys a try. You won't regret it. P.S.-be prepared for large portions. You may want to either bring your appetite or bring someone to share it with.
Went with my work crew during lunch, had a guy that had never had indian food. Let's just say he enjoyed it. Music was a tad loud, but the decor was warm and inviting. The bathroom was very clean. There was you basic selection you'd see at most Indian restaurants. Everything we ordered came out quickly and they explained what each sauce and item was when we asked. Everything had rich flavor with just the right amount of heat.
Walking in, the staff were very friendly and sat up right away. They were decorated for valentine's day and it made it feel very sweet. They offered a special valentine's day menu but we decided to order from the regular menu. We ordered takki masala, vijayawada chicken biryani, garlic cilantro naan, sweet coconut peshawari naan, and gulab jamun. Everything was so delicious and fresh. We will definitely be back.
Our expectations and experience was nice..... it was our 1st time going there... I was expecting live music when we got there but it was none , it was fairly quiet... maybe 4 others there ... nothing was on the TV so we used that moment to really talk and enjoy each other's company... only time we used our phones was to take beautiful photos of the food.... the rest phones were down and we was grubn.... we were a party of 3 and out table was set up for 2... I opted to use my fingers the traditional indian way especially eating pomfret fish and rice..... why ask for extra when it's truly not needed.... lol. I tipped and walked out rubbing my belly... full and happy... so was my hubby and daughter from college etc. . Give it a try.... and I dare you to use ur fingers to eat .. it's fun... more authentic.... I hope yalls experience is as nice as ours....
This was my first time here and my Valentine’s Day experience at Jonah Indian Kitchen & Bar was nothing short of exceptional. We chose the non-vegetarian seven-course menu, and from start to finish, it felt thoughtfully curated for a special evening. The Cherry Mango Lassi welcome drink was refreshing and set the tone perfectly. The Mint & Saffron Infused Lobster Soup was rich, aromatic, and beautifully balanced — a standout course that felt both indulgent and refined. The Alphonso Mango Chicken starter delivered a subtle sweetness with depth of flavor that paired wonderfully with the wine selection. For the main course, the Thane Butter Creamy Chicken was velvety and comforting, the Garlic-Infused Baby Spinach Shrimp was flavorful without being overpowering, and the Paris Lamb Korma was tender, well-spiced, and deeply satisfying. Each dish showcased layered spices without overwhelming the palate. The choice of naan and the included bottle of wine made the experience feel upscale and complete. Dessert, Cham Cham, provided the perfect sweet finish — light, delicate, and not overly heavy after such a generous meal. The ambiance and presentation of the Valentine’s Day menu clearly showed attention to detail, making the evening feel intimate and celebratory. For $99.99, the value was impressive considering the quality, portions, and the included wine. Yes there were leftovers and the staff provided carry out containers perfect for these dishes. I cannot recommend this place enough it was such a good time.
