Rank 1. Ghee Indian Kitchen
South Indian
Rows of labeled spice jars line the walls, which tells you something about how seriously this contemporary Indian restaurant takes its pantry. The chef sources ingredients from his own farm and runs a tight menu that swings between fiery naan and delicate tuna bhel without losing focus. It holds a Michelin Bib Gourmand and landed on the New York Times' Miami list. The suburban strip-mall setting is the only thing that doesn't match the ambition.

Peacock motif artwork runs through the dining room, where velvet seating in green and mustard yellow sets a warmer tone than you'd expect from a strip-mall address. This is a sit-down Indian restaurant with a cocktail program, leaning into regional flavors rather than the usual greatest-hits menu. The Kerala curried beef short rib and lamb samosas with cilantro mint chutney give you a sense of where the kitchen's attention actually goes.
