Khasiyat - Orlando

Khaysiyat were catering a wedding lunch at a 5 hotel in downtown Tampa. There were approximately 150guests. Before going for the lunch I informed the lead manager for event about peanut allergy. I was informed that there wasn’t any peanuts used!!! My daughter did ate only rice and Puri (like a bread). She within 30 minutes experienced difficulty in breathing and developed hives. She wasn’t taken to the emergency room in hospital and received treatment. This was extremely unpleasant event which was life threatening as well as traumatic for all of the families. After reaching out to the owner there was sympathy but again denied use of any peanut related ingredients. Without contacting me he made a settlement with the bridal contractor who accepted. He felt that was acceptable. But when I reached out to him he texted back with a very rude response. I would like to make people aware with allergies to be extremely cautious about eating there.

I had catered food from Khasiyat for 30 guests on two separate occasions. We had a variety of snacks, main course and desserts. The food was excellent. Our guests were Indians, Americans and American Indians and they were unanimous in their praise for the laajawab taste of every item. Mr. Ashok was very receptive and helpful and gave us coolers and warmers for the food. Our only regret was that they could not do delivery and service. Highly recommended.

I’m jealous of Orlando locals who have a place like this. Place was kind of out of the way but we are so glad we went there. Kathiawadi Thali…well how specific can you get to region within a region for food! And to have the taste to remind you of taste from that region in all the items is a tall order. They did it though! Simply amazing. Move to southern Gujarat for some Undhiyu Puri and they knocked it out of the park. Chole Puri after showing off their specialty would only make sense if it was not true North Indian taste. So we thought. Wrong! Awesome authentic homemade taste. Family owned. Mom’s recipes and cooked by her. Soooo gooood! An awesome plus was that they make Indian sweets and snacks in a big way right at this location. We got to get a few items which aren’t easily available at local groceries. We were so pleased with how amazing they were. When in Orlando, we will return for sure. Great service. Place is clean. Each item in Thali was so tasty and same was true for other dishes. If you are looking for authentic regional taste and want to get away from commercialized Indian food at a typical Indian restaurant, this place is a must visit for Gujarati food for sure and for Indian food in general. Let me know if you have questions.

We walked in the restaurant and nobody greeted us. We just had to walk to our table. When we did, a woman came out of nowhere from the other side of the restaurant and said COME HERE in a very ordering and bossy dry voice. She basically just gave us the menus and then we walked all the way back to our table. Like what was the point of us doing that? Shouldn't she bring the menus to us?? We also asked for water and she told us to get up and get it ourselves at the table on the other side of the restaurant. Like what?? Who does that. The food was old tasting and had no flavor and was cold. Just don't come here. Total waste of money. Complete garbage.

This was out 3rd visit to this restaurant on the 3rd trip to Orlando, while visiting theme parks. Disney and Universal theme parks are amazing. But the only issue with them is good food, particularly for vegetarians. This restaurants is out dining destination when we crave for good Indian food. The restaurants does not look good from outside and the ambiance is also mediocre. But don't get fooled by that. Food is excellent and price is reasonable. Gujarati Thali, Chola Bhatura, Samosa chat, Chat Puri, Chat Papdi etc. are excellent. If you want to pick up some snacks such as Checdo, farsi puri, thepla (dhebra), order it in advance and pick up before checking in the hotel. You will enjoy it throught out your stay in the hotel. It is my personal experience. The owner is very caring. A couple of weeks ago we reached at around 8:10 in the evening. They close at 8:00 pm. But just to serve us food and not to disappoint a customer and send us back without having food, he went out of his way and took our order. He really doesn't run the restaurant just for money, which is very rare in the US.
