Discovery Indian Cuisine - Palm Harbor

So, I'm a big Indian food fan. I'm always looking for great Indian food. While I was looking for a different place, I stumbled on this humble establishment. I loved the fact that they stayed open until 10 pm. So we decided to try it. I was a little taken back that it was in a small shop front right in front of a gas station. Don't be fooled. Even though it's small and cozy, it's very clean, warm, and with delicious smells wafting through the kitchen. But I mostly care about the food. They have a very varied range of food in their menu. It does a great job of describing the dishes.We tried the Chicken Korma and the Chicken Chettinad, both delicious. The chettinad is a dark brown delicious mixture of indian spices and curry leaves with some spiciness, yet wonderfully complex in all the flavors. The Korma was a delightfully creamy cashew sauce. thick, and rich but not heavy. It's the best korma I've had in a while. I highly recommend it. I had my chicken korma mild. But bears to say, since everything is made from scratch, the spiciness levels can be customized. They have mild, medium, hot, and Indian hot. My husband had the medium spiced chicken chettinad, and it was flavorful, and the spiciness wasn't overbearing. We also loved their rice. Fluffy, fragrant, made with cardamom pods, and Indian cloves to flavor it. It's again a simple thing, but elevated. Can't wait to try their biryani.We had fresh delicious Peshwari Naan. Stuffed with fruit , nuts, and spices. It is delicious. Made fresh, fragrant, and not heavy, either.The Gulab Jamun for dessert were nice Indian dessert balls in a lovely syrup.The second best thing in the restaurant is their service and their staff. From the front end to our server, Sasha. She was helpful, lovely fun, and personable. Big asset. John In front was wonderful as well. And there was a young gentleman that was helping out. Bringing water, bringing rice, and clearing up, he was very helpful and nice as well. While we were there, they did have a brisk takeout service.For our second time, we tried take out, and we ordered the exact same things as before, except we added a Chicken Tikka Masala, and and order of Samosas.Everything was as it had been before. I loved the consistency. You get the same level of deliciousness every time. The Samosas were 2 and a nice size and were stuffed with the most delectable mixture. It had a little bit of spice, but only enough to enhance the overall taste. The Tikka Masala was creamy, fragrant, and thick, not runny as other places have. It was so flavorful and one of the best as well. We ordered directly from the restaurant's website instead of using a service, as we picked up our order, but they do lots of doordash orders.They order was ready in 20-25 minutes and was well packaged. It was a very painless process. They also take phone orders.The third time we went, it was a Sunday afternoon, and we took our son. A harsh critic. He ordered the Lamb Chettinad Indian hot. And a mango lassi. He ate it all and said it was fantastic.I tried his Lassi, and it was a thick blended delectable drink. You could definitely taste the mango.In addition to the Peshwari Naan, we ordered garlic Naan. It was awesome. My husband and I had the chicken korma again. It's that good.So far, I highly recommend the Discovery Indian cuisine restaurant.We have gone on a Saturday night, tried takeout on a weekday, and gone on a Sunday afternoon. It was delicious and consistent every time.We definitely recommend you try it asap.Vegetarian options: I didn't try much, just vegetarian, except for the Naan and the Samosas.Parking: There's plenty in front of establid9

Absolutely delicious! The vegan options made my heart happy. My partner and I came for the first time Sunday and loved the food. I had the Aloo Saag and enjoyed every bite including leftovers. Loved the portion size! He had the Chicken Tikka Masala and love it as well. So it’s a great spot whether or not you eat meat. I want to try every single vegan dish here it all looks amazing!!!

Absolutely exceeded my expectations! Quaint little establishment that quite honestly did not leave me with high expectations at first look. Was I mistaken! The food was amazing and John would even recommend sauces to make my dining experience even more enjoyable! Very personable and attentive to what would make your meal that much better. We are definitely coming back, try this place at your earliest convenance, you will not be disappointed!

We really enjoyed our meal. All the sauces are flavorful with hints of spices and herbs. Our soups the Dal and Chicken Mulligatawny perfect balance of flavors savory and tangy. The butter chicken and Saag chicken had tender pieces... was delicious so yummy wanted even more.Good service, we came straight from the beach super casual ambiance.

No doubt, they are one of the best Indian food I’ve ever had. I asked for an Indian spicy dish because my boyfriend and I were craving for something spicy and we were very satisfied with the food. It was great. Service was great and everyone was very nice.
