We tried six entrees and three appetizers. My wife and the kids loved it and I liked it, but then again, I am not a big fan of Indian food, and especially spicy food. I had the rack of lamb (Lamb Chop), and the meat was perfectly cooked, but the sauce was too much for me. My tomato bisque was very tasty, but again to spicy, and I ordered everything mild. Not my style, but everyone else loved it from the goat, kabobs, lamb shank, chicken tikka & marsala, seafood, naan, cheese kabob, etc. we had a very nice table and the service was good. MER’s flourless birthday cake was excellent. The Chef invited us to a cooking class, and MER was interested as one of our best days in Italy was a Tuscan Farmhouse Cooking class which we totally enjoyed. Maybe if I learned more about Indian cooking, I could lower the heat more for my liking. It was a very nice evening for the six of us. I did think that they were a bit heavy on the prices, but that’s what you get in Naples and in season.
It was our first time dinning at 21 Spices and it was quite the experience. Our waiter “Errol” was on time, full of life and humorous. Our servers were so polite and punctual. The owner or manager (whom I believe was Canadian) checked on us to assure they met our expectations. Our food was delicious! The service was impeccable and the ombiance was inviting. There were a party of four seated behind us and it was also their first time there and we spoke briefly as they left the restaurant and they were very pleased as well. I would recommend this restaurant for anyone who loves to experience the different cultures of flavor! Oh, their mango mascato was a first and well worth it!
I had the pleasure of sharing a birthday meal here with my daughter. We thoroughly felt comfortable, welcome, the ambiance was exotic, the staff friendly and the food fantastic. Just when we thought we couldn't eat another bite they brought out a chocolate mouss cal thing that blew my mind. We loved it. Thank you 21 Spices for a magical evening!
Our meal was delicious! It was my parents first time at an Indian restaurant, and they really enjoyed it. We started with the Mazedaar Samosa, and since there were three of us, they brought us an extra! I had the Goan Gosht Vindaloo, which had the perfect spice, and the lamb was very tender. My folks split a Chicken Tikka Masala, which they very much enjoyed. Their favorite part was the garlic naan! (Great service, as well!)
Absolutely amazing!!! Hands down the best meal I’ve had in months... I can’t wait to go back. The food was incredible. Service was outstanding! The different flavors I tasted were so good..everything we had made my mouth feel happy and alive! Great job..�����
The Decor is lovel not what I expected of an Idian restaurant. Modern and very delightful. Our server greeted us immediately. As a lover of Indian food I am very familiar with the dishes. Service was very slow but it was a Saturday night. If you like spicy food this is definitely the place to come. It's delicious but expensive.
If you've never had Indian cuisine, you will be in for an amazing treat at this contemporary restaurant with a twist. Chef Azif truly does a remarkable job introducing people to Indian cuisine , food is on all levels deliciousness ! Give it a shot , I promise you won't be disappointed .
1st time here. Food was delicious, great atmosphere and the waitress was spot on when describing the dishes. Will be back.
Amazing food! This was my first time trying Indian food and I loved it. The lamb shank was juicy and delicious and the samosas as appetizer were an explosion of flavors in your mouth!

Chef Asif never ceases to amaze me with his delicious dishes!! This is my favorite restaurant in Naples and can’t wait to return!!
Lovely setting for the wine dinner. Food excellent, wine expertly paired with each course.
Great evening with family.
What an excellent experience! It's so beautiful inside, our server was excellent and the food was phenomenal! We will definitely return.
The food was Very Delicious and our Waitress was Awesome. It's good to know that one's appetite can be satisfied without meat products. Great Experience with My Mom.
What a delightful surprise! Food, service and ambiance were all exceptional! Highly recommend!
The food and service are amazing!!! I've made several visits to 21 Spices and the food has always been exceptional. I was especially blown away by the Vegetable Biryani...one of the most delicious meals I have ever had!

21 species is an Indian restaurant, one of the first in Naples since 2005. Despite how long they have been open, they haven't compromised on their style.
My first visit was a wonderful experience, the atmosphere was lovely and the service was spectacular.
Let me reiterate the star rating, if I could do a 4.8 I would. The appetizer we had was simple yet flavorful and our entrees were some of the best Indian food we've had.
The desert however was the only thing lacking for me unfortunately, the creme brulee in my opinion was a little too curdled and not smooth as it typically should.
Despite that, I will return to 21 Species when I am in Naples again. When it comes to Indian food, Chef Asif knows exactly what he's doing!
Our first time trying 21 spices and the food was delicious. Our server Palak was awesome and explained everything to us with a smile on her face. Definitely we will go back.
Absolutely wonderful experience. Firstly, the ambience was out of the world. Doesn’t feel like a 8 year old restaurant. Everything looks great and feels nice. I would rate this as the best authentic Indian restaurant in the US. I usually don’t eat or prefer Indian food outside but the quality of the food in this restaurant is A1. Very high standards and everything is crafted to perfection. Chef Asif was humble and his food makes everybody happy. Will definitely recommend to my family and friends.
Good food for date night - #3 spicy is VERY spicy for me so next time I will get the garlic naan not the spicy- Our food was good and wine was good. Our server needed to pay more attention as he forgot to check on us, refill our water and took a very long time to bring us a check. Usually I would never comment on negatives but the food wins a higher rating. Please remind servers about outside patio guests, don’t forget them …
Now I know why Chef Asif beat Bobby Flay. We went with family members who had been before and we drove from the Boca Raton area to give it a try. It was worth the drive to Naples, charging the car on Alligator Alley. The flavors were outstanding. We have always loved Indian cuisine and this is top notch. Service was very good and the restaurant is very inviting and busy. We can’t wait to go back.
Our meal was the very best Indian cuisine I have ever had. We had a variety of dishes including chicken tikka masala, lamb, vegetarian cheese dumplings and wagu beef braised rib. We also had the garlic naan and saffron rice. Every bite was heaven. Our only critique was that the sauce for the Wagu beef was very salty. The meat itself was tender and delicious but the saltiness made us leave some behind. To round out our meal we shared the gold leaf dessert. Very tasty. I highly recommend visiting 21 Spices in Naples. The ambiance is very chic and comfortable. The staff are friendly and attentive.
Everything was wonderful from start to finish. My husband and I are new to Indian food and the menu gave great descriptions to help us with choices. There were several vegetarian options which was a plus. Our waiter was friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. Everything was interesting and delicious. Can’t wait to return.
Hands down one of my favorite places in Naples! Chef Asif is on his game! Best Indian food I’ve ever had! The atmosphere is so chic and great vibes.
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)
I wouldn't normally pick an Indian restaurant to watch my Warriors in the playoffs, however, sometimes you have cravings. For that alone, I appreciated the fact that I could get great Indian food and watch the game. TVs are only in the bar area, so don't worry, if you don't have the itch to watch sports, the dining area will not have TVs, and the dining area is separated by a wall from the bar. It's a WIN WIN.
