"Ghee, the Downtown Dadeland spot (with a second location in Wynwood) 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, as well as 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. Add wine pairings for $35 per person, or try something from the bar, like the wine-based Mumbai Mule cocktail, made with homemade ginger beer, or the tart tamarind sour." - Allison Ramirez
