Review by Arjun, Palm Coast 3/24/20264.0Food:Service:Atmosphere:
You have to be picky about what you order here as I've had some misses but mostly it's very tasty. I find the grilled or tandoori meats are the best here, and avoid the fried as they oild tastes old and everything is very greasy. They also make some good sauces and lentil type dishes. The service is going down lately, it feels like the passion is going. We recently ate at their 5th Element location in Jacksonvile and it was so much better! They need to learn from them.

Not as good as it used to be. First time here in a couple of years and I remember the food having much more flavor. It's like everything has been dimmed down. Service wasn't as good either. Maybe if I hadn't had Indian food before, I would think it was very good, but Iknow it could be much better.

Delicious food and very exotic tasting. The Lamb Rogan Josh was rich with a wonderful blend of spices. Our appetizers were very good and I loved the Garlic Nan bread. The staff could have checked on us more often as we went long periods needing drinks. It was a wonderful meal though and a good date spot.

5th Element is the only place to find Indian food around here, and luckily it's very good. The heat levels are one below so if you want a 3, order a 4. Service is very good and it's one of those restaurants where all staff pitch in. My favorite dishes here are the biryanis, tandooris, and the vindaloos, and my wife prefers their more soupy dishes like dal. We prefer the outside seating when the weather allows, but inside is quite nice too. The buffet runs on weekends for lunch but we prefer to order from the menu.

Seriously tasty food and something unique for Palm Coast... staff are very helpful and accommodating. The tandoori was delicious and not at all dry... the biryani was the best I've had. They have a buffet on weekends for lunch which is good value. I like the setting in the European Village, especially dining on the patio.

Review by George, Palm Coast 12/20/20253.0Food:Service:Atmosphere:
Food is still tasty but not as good as it used to be. Seems like they have different recipes or a change in chef I guess. Service is not as good either, it's attentive but no longer personable or as friendly. I went to their location in the St. Johns Town Center and it was phenomenal, and so much better than at Palm Coast. Hoping this is just a slump period and they'll be back to old standards soon.

The buffet had some delicious items and I especially liked the chicken biryani and tandoori. They also had a soup that was very good. The staff are friendly and kept our table clean, removing dirty plates. Perfect food for this colder weather.

As an Indian myself I can say that they have close to authentic dishes with northern and southern variants. Many good dishes on the menu and I'm more partial to the dals and veg items. The dosas are very good and I like their bhindi (okra). The tables outside are pleasant and the level of customer service is high.

Good meal here tonight but had to sit inside as the weather sucked. The waiter was awesome and helped us our order. Loved all the dishes we had. Great flavors but I'll order less heat next time. Liked the Indian mango drink. Had some fried empanada things to start that were excellent. A doughnut style dessert was very sweet but ended the meal well.

As vegetarians, we love 5th Element because they offer a wide range of choices for us and everything is always delicious. The wait staff are very good and helpful if you don't know the cuisine, and you can dine inside or outside.
Highlight of visit: The veg thali offers a selection of 5 items plus soup, naan and a dessert and drink for only $20. I also really like the mutter paneer and vegetable vindaloo.

Review by Josiah, Palm Coast 9/2/20255.0Food:Service:Atmosphere:
Apart from some grocery store curries, this was my first time trying real Indian food and I really liked it. I always thought it would be very one note curry powder and spicy, but I was far wrong. The dishes were distinctive and the flavors had many many notes and it wasn't all spicy. I couldn't tell you the names of what I ate as the waiter recommended most of it, but it was excellent and I still have plenty of left overs in my fridge for tomorrow. I'm glad I came out of my culinary shell and tried real Indian food, as I think it's my new favorite.

Review by Iker, Ft. Myers, FL 8/26/20255.0Food:Service:Atmosphere:
First visit here and found it to be authentic and one of the best Indian meals I've had in Florida. The menu is vast and everything we ordered was cooked to perfection and delicious. The waiter had great personality and did a great job, and the location with outside dining that's not in front of a parking lot was a nice experience. If we lived in Palm Coast, we'd be here every weekend.

Review by Skylar, Palm Coast 8/18/20255.0Food:Service:Atmosphere:
I highly recommend the mixed tandoori. You get chicken, lamb, and shrimp, and the tandoor taste is so good. The samosa appetizers are superb. 5th Element has so many delicious dishes to choose from. They have a buffet on the weekend which is good for sampling several dishes. The staff are excellent and the courtyard is lovely.

We had the buffet today which was good. Food was tasty and plentiful. Not the restaurant's fault, but other guests are sloppy making a mess of the food station. This is one of the few places where I eat more vegetables than meat. Good ambiance and service.

Review by Graham, Palm Coast 7/9/20254.0Food:Service:Atmosphere:
Good Indian food in the European Village. Dishes on a little on the salty side but the flavors are very good. Tandoori chicken was too dry. The biryani was excellent! Server could have paid more attention to us. The patio dining is nice but I think service would have been better if we sat inside.

Review by Anna, Palm Coast 6/29/20255.0Food:Service:Atmosphere:
We have been here many times and have always ordered off the menu, but this was the first time having the buffet which was very good. Plenty of options and variety and they kept the trays fresh. Everything was delicious and I got to try some dishes I wouldn't usually order. It's also very good value if you come hungry. The European Village has a Sunday market going on too so it was nice to look around after our meal.

Authentic food with good outside dining. The food was delicious and plentiful and customer service was very attentive. The breads were soft and perfect for soaking up all those delicious sauces. Portions were large with enough left over to take home. It give them 5 stars overall 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

Review by Sonny, Palm Coast 6/2/20254.5.0Food:Service:Atmosphere:
We have had the buffet here a few times before and always enjoyed the food, but this was our first time coming for dinner, which we enjoyed more. The food was delicious and it was more relaxing and slower paced than the buffet, so we could savor it more. The server was good at explaining the dishes and the outdoor tables are very nice in the evening. It's also good pricing and we had plenty left over to bring home.
Highlight of visit: I really liked the tandoori meats that have a good spice and smoky char. The sauces and gravies are very tasty. My wife loved the lamb biryani.

Review by Lyndie, Palm Coast 4/21/20255.0Food:Service:Atmosphere:
We discovered 5th Element while at the Sunday market and really enjoyed the buffet. The choices and selections were broad and everything I had was delicious. If you're vegetarian like my daughter you will eat very well here. Service was good but they needed more staff. Very good quality for the price.

Review by Amira, Palm Coast 3/20/20255.0Food:Service:Atmosphere:
The service is professional and friendly and the restaurant is clean with a nice front courtyard. The food is delicious and if you're vegetarian like me, you'll be spoiled with choices. I'v head Indian food in many places and 5th Element is among the best.










5th Element in Palm Coast offers a broad menu featuring both northern and southern Indian dishes, with particular praise for their grilled tandoori meats, biryanis, and rich lamb rogan josh. Vegetarians appreciate the variety of dals, dosas, and vegetable options like bhindi. The garlic naan and Indian mango drink are also notable accompaniments. Weekend lunch buffets provide good value with tasty selections such as chicken biryani and soups. Guests can choose between indoor seating or a pleasant patio area in the European Village. Service is generally helpful and attentive, though some reviews mention it could be more personable and consistent. While a few find the flavors less robust than in the past, many diners enjoy the complex spices and authentic taste. Overall, 5th Element delivers a flavorful and diverse Indian dining experience locally.
