Pelican - Lake Worth

Expensive, but delicious gem in downtown Lake Worth. The Pelican Restaurant is a dichotomy of sorts it 's got a diner atmosphere with delicious food, but at gourmet prices. Service is generally good, but can be spotty when they 're in the weeds. Be aware that it 's a cash only operation, but there is an ATM inside if you 're in a jam. At peak times (Sunday a.m. between 10 and 12 , there are lines out the door and you may have to sit at the counter or outside if you can 't wait. They serve standard American breakfast fare including Eggs Benedict, omelets, grits, home fries and probably the best pancakes I 've ever tasted, which are bigger than a bread plate. (Consider sharing an order with your table mates if you 're ordering other things. The coffee is outstanding and beats Dunkin ' Donuts by a mile. However, off of the printed menu is a hand written white board with all sorts of Indian breakfast specials, which are spicy and delicious. The sign says, 'Open daily for Breakfast ' from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m., closing at 2 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. However, on Friday nights (5 p.m. 9 p.m. , they serve a special Indian Dinner with lots of delicious meat and vegetarian entrees, but the dinners are as over priced as the breakfast entrees. I don 't know about you, but I find $35 for two for breakfast and $65 for two for dinner (including a shared appetizer, mango lassis, but no alcohol seems a bit much for having a meal at a hole in the wall diner. The Indian dinner is supposed to include drink and dessert, but be advised that if they run out of nan or desert (which they have on more than one occasion , you don 't get a break on the bill, which is unfortunate. Maybe the era of cheap eats is over, but you might find it worth the hassle of trying to find parking downtown, the noise of the diner atmosphere (people constantly going in and out the door , and the price for the privilege of tasting some truly inspired and delicious Ameri Indian fare.

Friday is Indian food night. Terrific home-style Indian food. Dishes for vegetarians as well as chicken, meat or shrimp eaters. Large portions served with rice and naan.<br/ <br/ The food tastes like home cooking.

Staff is very nice and I got the shrimp and grits. Great choice. It’s a small and cozy place to get a bite meeting… Curry Chicken was authentic Woolf Realty Approved

It was my first time in this restaurant and i love every moment of it the workers are super friendly and the owner makes you feel right at home and there food was extremely good

The owner or manager is very friendly and welcoming. I loved looking out the window at downtown and I'd like to try the Indian cuisine they offer sometime. The person's who came in after me received their coffees first. I had to ask and Didn't get it until my food came. Other than that, it was a very nice place and I'd come again. The place is small but packed and Is worth checking out.
