A pursuit for knowledge was the stimulus and continues to be the driving force behind Chef Niven’s career. Ghee means PURE and has a symbolic meaning both spiritually and in the kitchen of an Indian home. The restaurant encompass traditional Indian home cooking, ingredient driven using local artisan purveyors. Chef Niven highlights the experience of dining at Ghee: "I want to my guests to walk into Ghee with the sense of entering my home. I want them to feel at home. I want them to smell the aromas and spices and get more engaged in their meal. One of the things that I always tell my cooks is, ask questions, be inquisitive if you don’t know. I want the same for my guests."

We LOVE Ghee! Until Ghee we ate Indian food one or two times a year. Now we go to Ghee several times a month. The food is spectacular. The servers are professional and knowledgeable about each item on the menu. We love the backyard pakora (which has ingredients from Niven Patels backyard), the charred corn, the Bell and Evans Tandoor Chicken to name a few. Any bread is delicious. Jose, the manager, and Jojo always make us feel special. The Wynwood Ghee is also wonderful!

As a lover of Indian food, Ghee is the perfect place to sample interesting dishes. Three of us had the tasting menu (the whole table must choose this) and every single dish was delicious. We started with the “snacks” and loved them all - the tuna bhel and crispy broccoli were our favorites. Next were the mains which were all very well prepared but our favorite was actually the Dal Makhani. The Chicken Tikka Masala was very flavorful and tender as well. As chocolate lovers I don’t usually get dessert in Indian restaurants but the date cake with ginger ice cream was moist and delicious. Service was efficient and non-intrusive. Great dinner!

the 13-course tasting menu is a good experience, but exceptional on Monday nights when it is only $50/person. Each appetizer, main course and dessert were quite good. Service was friendly and professional. We went with another couple and the four of us thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We sat outside, which was quieter.

Our waiter made great recommendations and we weren't disappointed with anything we ate. Everything was fresh, hot, and absolutely delicious. Plates are small but very filling. We definitely didn't need to order as much as we did, but now we have leftovers.

We had the most spectacular experience and food at Rancho Patel. We got to see the farm, see how they prepared the food and actually meet Chef Patel and Mo. The dishes they prepared were Michelin star and the wine flowed the entire event. We can’t wait to go back for the next event!!! ❤️

Had an excellent dinner at Ghee. Hidden gem in the Dadeland area. Comprehensive menu and wine list, including a few great sake options. We didn't have dessert but other than that everything we tried was amazing. Great ambience and the Ghee Naan is to die for.

This one is a neighborhood gem for me. It has been in this location for quite some time. This is the first of chef and the creative team. They have opened serval places in Miami and beyond that are all excellent. The food here is more of the flavors of Indian foods some with twists and wonderful depths of flavor. The Chef also does not disappoint with any type of food from other places. Thanks for continuing to empress us.
