Had lunch with a coworker friend.
While I awaited his arrival, I had a Chapatti which is a grilled bread, similar to a wheat tortilla. Was good, warm, nice texture and buttery wheat flavor.
To start I had some Dal (golden lentil) soup - seems a bit watered down and the serving was very small. I followed with a vegetarian meal platter, which included my choices of Chana Masala (chickpeas, onions, tomatoes and seasoning), curried cabbage and aburtha (sautéed eggplant in a tomato sauce). The platter generally includes rice, but I declined. I also had a can of Coke. Food was okay.
My friend had the non-vegetarian platter, which included his choices of Chana Masala, curried chicken and rice. He later commented the chicken appeared to have been cooked too rapidly, had a tough texture and the curry was not rich. He also had a Coke.
We shared a loaf of pita and a couple of vegetable samosa (a veggie / potato fried empanada) with some chutney. The samosa was very good - nicely seasoned throughout, including through the potatoes and the shell was crisp / flaky.
The place is a bit worn, but as I witnessed, the staff keep it clean.
Was disappointed with the inefficient a/c, canned soda and disposable plates/eating utensils, but from what I saw, they mainly cater to the To-Go market.
For downtown the prices are reasonable. Me $14 & friend $15.
Love this place, eat here all the time, fast friendly, cheap, and good food all in fowntown it can't be beat.
Excellent, friendly and quick service! good portions of food and lots of vegetarian options. Will definitely be back!
Delicious cafeteria style buffet... Gritty decor but surprisingly very, very clean. Quick, cheap eats.
The food was very good like South Indian and was very affordable when compared to other restaurants
Must Visit… Authentic South Indian food.
Home made food all done fresh after discussing with you. And when it is served all with exact to the ask with the Best Taste you could imagine. Cooked with all the love and care.
Especially Rasam is out of the world. Try with white rice.
All the Best!
For the price and huge portion sizes, this is decent Indian food for Miami. We ordered in and everything came on time and intact. The dosa was by far the best out of everything we selected. It was my first time having dosa from an Indian restaurant. Unfortunately, the Chicken Tikka Masala had pieces of chicken that were too tough and the paneer in the Palak Paneer tasted like it hadn't been cooked long enough. The Mutton Biryani was seasoned well, but the mint flavor was almost overwhelming. I also wish they opened later.
Excellent South Indian food with a home touch. They prepared boiled tea instead of using powder and we enjoyed it.
This place is my FAVORITE place in Miami. AMAZING service. And their food is out of this world!!!

Alright, this place is a must especially for people who come from south India. The food is so good as the taste reminded me of my hometown. Owners were nice.
To all those people with negative comments about the place. well I simply don't care. The food is all that matters... and for my taste buds it reminded me simply of good old home food from India
Definitely would recommend to my friends
Excellent family establishment. Friendly people and delicious Indian cuisine. A downtown Miami staple!
Very affordable tasty south Indian veg and non-veg meal plates are available here. Uncle and aunty were very friendly.
Best dosa and samosas I have ever had! I’m from Texas but my boyfriend lives in Miami, so whenever I am in town, that’s one of our mandatory stops for lunch! The owners are so sweet and treat us like their own kids. The food is so tasty that I often miss it, so I have to take it to go and bring it back with me to Texas. We’ll continue to come back anytime :)
Outstanding customer service l, great prices, Amazing food!!!
DON'T LISTEN TO THE BAD REVIEWS....
The food is flavourful, I agree with the place not looking it's best inside but aside from that I've come here in several occasions and the flavors and portions do not disappoint, the times I've visited the staff have been kind and have provided me with what I've asked, one time they didn't have ice and they quickly went to the store next door to get ice to make sure they could provide me some. Owner was very friendly, food had generous portion sizes, and overall a great experience. I will continue to visit them whenever I am in the area.

Best place to have authentic south indian food in Miami. After being on vacation for long time, kids wanted to have idly and dosa and Raja's cuisine provided great food with quality and taste. Friendly customer service, customized orders as per the need.
The flavors were great. Loved the pickled lime sauce. The lamb curry was tender with the right amount of spice.
While visiting Miami, we went there to have dinner. The restaurant is not that big. We ordered a lot of food as we were too much hungry. Basically, to taste the south Asian food, we went there. The foods came out as very fresh, warm, and very well presented. All the foods were very tasty. All the credit goes to the cook for sure. The staff was very friendly and the service was great.
I highly recommend this restaurant.
Amazing wholesome food that touches your soul. Home cooked food at its best. Healthy, delicious, sumptuous food, cooked and served by an amazing couple. Will make a stop again. One of the best Indian food places in USA.
First time trying this restaurant and it’s pretty amazing! And customer service is great! Thank you!
