"Ghee, the Kendall spot from chef Niven Patel and Mohamed “Mo” Alkassar, offers a modern take on Indian cuisine in a setting that combines exposed brick, wood accents, twinkling lights, colorful artwork, and an open kitchen. The menu leans heavily on ingredients from Patel’s two-acre Rancho Patel farm in Homestead, resulting in dishes like the spiced, tender smoked lamb neck and a creamy green millet risotto topped with seasonal vegetables, and the crowd-favorite ghost pepper cheddar naan, perfect for scooping up the rich curries. For those who can’t decide, the three-course tasting menu, priced at $65, provides a well-rounded tour of Ghee’s offerings. Don’t overlook the bar program, which features inventive wine-based cocktails such as the Mumbai Mule with house-made ginger beer and the tart tamarind sour." - Olee Fowler
