Rank 38. Ghee Indian Kitchen

Niven Patel's suburban warehouse glows with mango wood and walls lined with spice jars—a room designed to match the boldness on the plate. Ghost pepper naan arrives puffed and crackling; Kerala lamb emerges from coconut broth fall-apart tender. Sourcing from his own farm, Patel works a tight menu of precisely calibrated heat and depth that belies the strip-mall setting.

In Coral Gables, Daniel's Miami strips the steakhouse down to craft and restraint, trading grandeur for the clarity of dry-aged beef and Florida's own vegetables. Thomas Angelo's vision feels grounded in place rather than formula, a restaurant that knows when to stop talking and start listening.

Pablo Zitzmann's dumpling pop-up evolved into this Coral Gables ground-floor restaurant, where a Colombian chef fearlessly blends Asian and Italian influences. Dishes like charred cabbage with Fresno chili butter and shrimp har gow with tamarind-black garlic chutney prove the cooking's gutsy originality.

Steakhouse
A gleaming central bar and floor-to-ceiling wine cellar frame this sizeable room, where the menu ranges from croquettes and crudo to pristine steaks, everything made in-house. The Caesar salad—a tower of gem lettuce, snow peas, and aged Parmesan—exemplifies how Beauty & the Butcher balances comfort, creativity, and refinement without strain.
