    Service and food is consistently very good and really like the flavors. Great choices for vegetarians and even the younger kids liked it. Butter chicken is delicious and they do some excellent Indo Chinese dishes too. Staff are gracious with attention to detail. Highly recommend... it's one of our favorites in Palm Coast.

    Very authentic food with incredible flavors. They make some superb dishes and the best are probably the least common ones. Their dosas and dal are excellent and I also lover the Kadai and Palak Paneer. Staff will guide you if you need help choosing and don't forget to try a dessert. Well worth the price and everything is well packaged for takeout.

    Highlight of visit: I've ordered many dishes over the past year or so and haven't found one that I didn't like. They've all been excellent.

    5th Element is one of my favorite restaurants and was visiting their Jacksonville location long before they opened in Palm Coast. I miss their buffet as it provided a good opportunity to sample many dishes, but their menu dishes are still very good and during the pandemic we have been ordering regularly. Staff always make recommendations and never had a bad dish yet. The location is nice and well worth trying for something different.

    Not as good as it has been in the past with food cold especially the fried pakoras which had lost their crispiness and were very soggy. Korma didn't have as much spice or flavor as previously but the dal was still delicious. Maybe they had a different chef tonight?It's expensive which I understand is because of the cost of ingredients, which I don't usually mind as the food is excellent, but when it's sub par like tonight I feel a little ripped off. Service was still very polite.

    This is one of the best Indian restaurants in Florida and we're lucky to have it here in Palm Coast. No dining in right now but IO order often through Uber Eats and the food always arrives hot an d fresh and tasting amazing. Don't know how they get those flavors but they're excellent. Some dishes are a little expensive but they're worth it considering the effort they must take to make them, plus the ingredients are not always exactly things you can find locally. Love it!

    Got take out to try something different and loved every bite. We were unfamiliar with Indian food but the gentleman serving made recommendations and was very good at describing the dishes. The food is lovely and colorful and oh so flavorful. We can't wait to order again. Highly recommend this establishment.

    Highlight of visit: All dishes were superb but my personal favorite was the Lamb Biryani - I can't describe how good it tasted.

    Always delicious and one of Palm Coast's best restaurants. Takeout only still but you can sit on the patio and eat it. I usually get the Thali which gives you a variety of dishes plus naan bread and dessert. Staff are polite and will happily guide you if you're unfamiliar with Indian cuisine.

    I miss their buffet as that was an excellent way to sample all their delicious food. However, we have still had some extremely tasty dishes here lately and we're always amazed how they get so much flavor. Nice menu with so many enticing choices and the servers are highly professional and courteous. I recommend their Thali for a great variety and their Biryanis are superb.

    Highlight of visit: Chicken 65 Biryani is my favorite but so many delicious choices.

    Ordered several items for pick up and staff very professional throughout the process. The food was a little mixed. The Mixed Veg Pakora was not very good... it was very oily and batter was hard and tasted of stale oil. However the Chicken 65 was delicious and the best dish. Paneer Tikaa and Shrimp Tandoori were also both very good. Takeout containers could be better as most broke.

    My rating here is based on takeout as it really wasn't as good as all the times I've dined in. Staff still helpful and professional but the food just didn't taste the same. Maybe it's because of the styrofoam containers as apposed to nice brass pots, but we ordered a selection of dishes for the family and we all felt like they lacked the usual flavor. Even the naan was very chewy. Looking forward to when we can dine in again. I wish they could at least open the outside seating area.

    This is really delicious Indian cuisine. Been to several Indian restaurants in Florida and this is by far the best of them all. Ordered pickup several times over the pandemic and the food is so beautifully prepared and tastes amazing. Staff are very professional and helpful. Can't recommend 5th Element enough.

    Picked up food for family and we all loved it so much. This is super delicious food that I never knew tasted so good. No too sure of everything I ate but I can't wait to have it again. Picky teens even raved about it! Excited for when their dining room will open again so we can try it in house. Young man taking the order at the front was very polite and friendly and was patient with explaining the dishes and making recommendations. A first class operation.

    Still no dining in here yet and takeout experience not as good! Ordering through clingfilm window (perspex like other restaurants use would make it much better). Packaging week and bottom Styrofoam container broke so curry sauce got everywhere making a huge mess! Didn't even notice until we got in the car and had a strong smell. Parkoras hard and very oily. Other items very tasty but they need better quality containers. Spent longer cleaning than eating! I won't order takeout from here again and will just wait until we can dine in.

    So glad they decided to re-open again for takeout as I missed their food so much. Always so tasty and the only place I can eat at where vegetarian food so amazing and I don't miss meat. Love every bite and can't wait until their buffet will open again.

    Highlight of visit: Bagara Baigan - a spicy eggplant dish!

    Went last night for dinner and I have to say that it has lost it's charm and personality that it used to have. The food was very good but the staff not friendly and slow with refills, etc. At one point I had to stop my husband from causing a scene he was so pissed off with the attitude of one server. Very upsetting it's gotten like this.

    Disappointing today and not as good as usual. Buffet selection wasn't very impressive and didn't taste so good. Some items bland. Service lacking also. Had to ask for water. No dosas! No naan on buffet! Hope they not declining. No worth the money today but has been very good on previous visits.

    Visited for Sunday buffet and had no complaints with the service as they were very attentive. Most of the dishes on the buffet were very good and tasty but some were very salty, and the fried ones quite greasy, were hard, and lacked flavor. Good value though if you arrive hungry.

    Visited for Sunday lunch buffet today. There was a very good selection of food available and most of what I tried was very good, although some items didn't taste good to me at all. Breads were excellent. Staff courteous and made sure we had everything. Plates were picked up immediately. The buffet and the seating area were both very clean. I will definitely return.

    Visited the other night and had an amazing meal. The food was totally delicious and wish I had room for more. The young lady serving was gracious and very accommodating. Love the way the food is served on burners so it stays hot at the table. Enough left over for the next day.

    Had their lunch buffet. Delicious food with many options to chose from. Lots of veggie choices. Not too spicy. Good selection of breads and desserts. I think servers were new, they didn't speak much English, no smiles, or offer much assistance. Good food and value for the money.
