To quote Guy Fieri "Welcome to Flavor Town." My wife and I wanted to try Indian food. So I ordered random items from 5th Element to bring home for a Sunday football buffet and here are my thoughts!
We ordered Mixed Tandoor, it had chicken, shrimp and lamb. Everything was tender, tasty and full of flavor and we would get it again. We also tried the starter chicken Pakora, this was an amazing fried chicken with fantastic flavor and heat. I ordered everything mild, and everything had some kick. My wife loves the heat and she said it was spicy. This was amazing, will order again. We also

The food was great and cooked to perfection. Staff was wonderful! We tried 10,000 Monk beer recommended by server (India brew) and very happy we did so. It complimented the Chicken Makhani and Chicken Korma perfectly. Highly recommend you stop by and try the cuisine. Onion Kulcha and Garlic Naan were very good with flavor and flakey light Naan. Thank you 5th Element for making us not regret moving to Lake Mary area. Will return and try other dishes.

This is real Indian food. Lots of great flavors. I have no idea why the reviews are all over the place. I did notice many review's had to do with wait times. This is one place that when asking for extra spicy you get it. Unlike most other Far East and Middle Eastern type restaurants where asking never seems to change a thing. I know this has much to do with the fear of complaints from the majority of customers in Florida with unsophisticated palates. If someone gave this less than 3 stars then the reviewer was having a bad day or they had a vendetta. Sure there are a few things that could

I wish this spot was more prominently advertised because it really made my day. The to go box weighed about 5 pounds and came with two sauces (one creamy, one with some zing) plus raw onions on the side for those who aren't a fan. The decor (especially the ceiling) and music felt immersive and authentic. Really friendly wait staff. Can't wait to come back once I finish these leftovers

Went today for the first time for take-out. The food was ready as promised and was hot when I got it home. I got the veg lunch plate for $8.99. The portion was HUGE and will easily make two meals.
The food was perfectly spiced (I asked for medium) and every tasty. I love that for such a low price I got a fresh hot naan, rice, a couple of curries and a samosa.
Service was prompt and friendly.

We came in at 4::45 on a Friday night- COVID rules still in effect. The menu had a nice variety of items and I found it difficult to choose .
The food was very good, although one in our party ordered info- Chinese which We thought was pretty common tasting.
The service was good and the server was friendly. One of the servers was not wearing her mask which I was disappointed in.
Very good experience

We came here for dinner for the first time a few weeks back. Staff was very friendly. Everything we ordered was very good but spicy even when we ordered mild (holy cow!!!). We ordered the Mutter panner and asked specifically to be super mild. My kid likes a bit of spicy and she had a hard time eating a mild panner. We also ordered the Rogan josh - my husband loves spicy food, but he ordered medium - he said it was the hottest indian dish he ever had. I only had the chicken corn soup which was delicious.
Overall, the experience was great - we would love to come back to try their buffet although

This review is for a TAKEOUT order and not dine in. My husband had gone to 5th Element last night to get some food for 4 people. When he arrived, he said the place was very big and seemed a little busy. He placed an order for mutton biryani, chicken biryani. 2 dosas, idli, veg noodles, and gobi Manchurian. When he came home, I was very shocked at the portion sizes and how huge they were, esp the biryanis and noodles. One entree could feed 3-4 people! We will def remember that for next time. That is a plus for this restaurant.
We told them to make the veg noodles mild and when I tried it, it was

Bahuta acchā! Very good Indian food with a nicely organized lunch buffet. Have not even been here for dinner, but enjoyed a leisurely Saturday lunch here.
Lots of spiced Indian rice, hearty vegetarian curry and stews, nice selection of meat based curries, tandoori chicken, salad, dessert, soup, and made fresh dosa cooking area with chef.
Came here on a whim in the mood for tandoori chicken, was excited to find it on the buffet. Very nice quality, freshly replenished food when it runs low, and very clean. Service was attentive and kept buffet clean. Lots of people dining here, which is a good
