Reviews for 21 Spices by Chef Asif in Naples, FL
Best Indian food in Naples, FL by chef Asif. Nice ambiance and decor; deemed lights in the main room. Can dine in or at the... outdoor terrace. Decent wine selection and well-crafted cocktails. Impecable service and a menu with a wide variaty of classicas well as innovative indian dishes. Opened with cocktails: 21 Spices Ice Tea and Indian Old Fashion, both very good. Thecustomary and complementary papadum with three chutneys: mint-yogurt, mango-pineaple, and tamarind. Appetizers: Shahi Baby LambChops (3 pieces of succulent medium rare tandoori lamb chops) and also had Palakwala Chaat (perfectly fried spinach with saucemade with yogurt, tamarind and dates) an explosion of flavors in your palate. Sides: Garlic Naan (would have prefered themthinner or less dense but they were still delicious and was a generous portion) and Daal Makhani (I love lentils and this dish,for sure, is one of the best I have tasted). The saffron basmati rice was delicious and fragant; comes with eachentree. Entrees: Lucknowi Grouper (local fish cooked to perfection, moist and drenched in coconut milk, cashew paste and spices)and Tandoori Kashmiri Chicken (one of chef Asif winning dish. Boneless chicken tighs tandoori style with an accentuated gingerrub). Dessert: Gold Leaf Shahi Tukda (pistachio ice cream with gold leaf on top, sitting on a bed of indian cookie, cardamomcream swirled with chocolate syrup and raspberry coulis. Overall a delicious and pleasant experience. Highly recommended. Read more
Delicious food full of flavor. I've eaten at many Indian restaurants in the US and England and this is definitely in the top.... Enjoyed the lanterns as well. Ordered spice level 4 (Indian spicy). I love spicy food and felt it was spot on. Read more

Luscious lamb chops! So much flavor in the veggie biryani! Atmosphere is bohemian, comfortable and low key. Had a guitarist... playing holiday tunes and light dinner music. Server was so pleasant and Chef Asif super cordial AND He beat Bobby Flay!!!Hahaha. A near perfect Xmas Eve dinner was had by all. Read more
Good Indian restaurant with wide variety of dishes. Large and competent wine list. Inconsistent service - our waiter disappeared... from time to time. Live guitar music on Saturday night. Great patio seating (though the hostess was hesitant to seat us there,despite a few empty tables) Read more
It's alright food. Not 100% authentic. I've never tasted a sweet chicken-65. The chicken-65 served here was like orange Chicken.... It's an upscale Indian restaurant mostly focusing on presentation than flavors. Read more
