“ Amazingly delicious!!! very authentic, definitely recommend this place friendly and respectful staff too ”

“ Been here a few times by myself, Sabi helped me both times and was really helpful and prompt with service. She made great suggestions, tonight i pretty much let her tell me what to try based on my tastes and she hit out the park! For my appetizer i had this indian version or ginger chicken, but it was vegetarian and made with cauliflower. I had to remind myself halfway through it wasnt chicken. But for my entree I had this grilled chicken thigh dish with lime lemon and onion with other spices and herbs with a side of garlic naan and it was the most tender succulent flavor-full chicken i have had in a long time. I dont leave reviews often but 5th element and Sabi earne ”

“ Listen I am picky but this hands DOWN is the best Indian food that I have had in Daytona!! I went to this restaurant just before my trip to St. Lucia and as soon as I got home, I ordered them again because my mom ate all of my food when I was gone. Pictured is the vegetable samosas. Everything was absolutely delicious the rice perfectly cooked and fragrant, the chicken, tender full of flavor. The chicken is like an Indian version of a quesadilla. DELICIOUS!! The vegetable samosas were also perfect as well and they were all paired with your normal sauces. I can't speak much about the service because I did an online order. I will say I was greeted when I walked in and my food was ready. They have a loyal customer I will literally be back monthly ”

“ This place has consistently good food! Our entrees, rice and naan were great and service was fast and efficient. Don't let the strip mall scare you away but they also do a ton of takeout! This place can bring the heat if you request it! Prices are very reasonable for the quantity. ”

“ Anyone who is going to be spending a day at the Speedway should seriously pick up lunch here and pre-game. Their lunch was cheaper than anything that I would've gotten inside the Speedway and it came with rice, chicken 65, curried protein or veg of your choice, lentils, and naan. Considering I was about to spend all day at Welcome to Rockville, I needed all the food I could get, and it was pretty tasty. Definitely a great value for under $15. That beats most fast food restaurants these days. ”

“ If you are looking for a warm and charming place to tickle your tastebuds, look no further! The menu is a passport to flavors that will amaze you. Inside, you will see descriptions of the different regions and their unique contributions to the culinary world. The staff treated us like a family and allowed us extra time to finish dinner without rushing us out the door as they were closing for the evening. My recommendations are the mango lassi, potato and onion dosa, butter chicken, lamb vindaloo, and the garlic naan ”

“ Points of reference: I married into an South Indian family and I'm familiar with their cuisine. Also, I am vegan. For my first visit here, I had to get dosa. I usually get Mysore Masala Dosa but I decided to try Rava Masala Dosa. It was very hearty and not too spicy (they probably toned it down for me). The sambhar was flavorful and not very spicy, either (I wonder if they adjust it.) I had to come back the next night. I decided on mix veg pakora and bagara baigan (which was new to me). I probably ordered too much food, but it was so delicious that I couldn't stop myself. They may have slipped a piece of paneer in the pakora by mistake. What was probably not a mistake was the chili pepper in the pakora. Whoa, that was spicy! The bagara was so savory that my mouth is watering right now as I type. I'm so glad that I tried it. I cant believe I ate the whole thing. Service was friendly and prompt. My server shared the wifi password with me. I was pleasantly surprised by how good 5th Element was. I will definitely return if I am ever in this area again. ”

“ 3.5 Stars based on their Sunday brunch; rounding up to 4 to give them the benefit of the doubt. We've had many many Indian Buffets and restaurant experiences and have grown to experience excellent Indian dishes and understand what is passible vs outstanding. Our first experience with 5th Element was via their Sunday Brunch. Unfortunately, it was not the best first taste of their food. Many of the fried items were very dry. For the other dishes, the flavors were there, as was the heat, but the overall impressions were that some of the food tasted reheated. Maybe it was the way the buffet was on the second of the two weekend days they have a buffet. The cost was just under $17 a person. I liked the dal and the vegetarian meatballs but the Gulab Jamun desert was oddly tougher than any others we'd had before. The Byriani rice dishes were good as well as their Kheer desert. Note: They do not keep up with social media (have not claimed their Yelp listing) and do not answer their emails or messages, nor do a great job with advertising themselves, so it was very difficult to get a simple answer as to when and what times they have a buffet and how much it is. So, I'm going to try to order some dishes during the week that will be To Go, and compare it to our OK but not excellent first impressions of this place, nor just a repackaged version of what's currently out on their buffet. ”

“ Our eyes were way bigger than our stomachs. We got so much delicious food at a very reasonable price. Just be aware that they mean business with the spice level. So, if you are even a little bit of a spice wimp go with mild. I love this place and will continue to go back again and again ”
