Ordered the Tikka Masala and it was barely warm and not spicy at all. Pretty sure I was served from a leftover lunch buffet pan. It came out very fast too which was another giveaway. Reason it wasn’t spicy at all is because the one they make for the general public is very mild. I did enjoy the corn soup and butter naan though. Couple of people mentioned mango ice cream (where is the self serve machine???). There was no ice cream offered. Matter of fact, I wasn’t even asked if I wanted any dessert. Felt rushed. Hope you have a better experience.

First Visit: 4 star We ordered chicken lollipop , lamb biryani and curd rice . I like the biryani and it’s quantity. Chicken lollipop is really hard and I did not like it at all. Curd is kind of ok. Wait time is kind of long . Second visit: 3 star We ordered mixed tandoori SPICY and fish curry hoping in this visit at least we feel satisfied. Presentation wise it looks fantastic. When it comes to taste being Indian I could not feel the taste . It was 3/4 boiled meat with different colors on it without proper balancing of spices on chicken. I like the shrimp and leg pieces in the tandoori . We end up asked for salt and pepper to add the flavor which did not work for us. When I informed them we asked for spicy tandoori they did not respond to us. That’s kind of disappointing. I kept aside the remaining food and ordered masala dosa hoping at least I get to enjoy some bites of dosa. To my surprise dosa batter does not has salt and it’s sour batter . coconut chutney tastes really bad, sambar is average. I ended up try to finish 1/4 of dosa with tomato chutney ( I hope so ) and it was kind of good . But with the struggle to eat the food which you can’t push anymore left 3/4 of the food and walked away with dissatisfaction. I never had dosa like this anywhere. I think when they serve to the customer chefs should be attentive. And employees should be empathetic when customers leave the food. We visited second time thinking we will have authentic Indian food. That’s very disappointing.

First time trying 5th elements Indian restaurant, the food was ok we had butter chicken along with chicken noodles. The noodles had the most flavor and was the best. The flat bread was also pretty good. The service was good and they offer free mango ice cream which was tasty!

No. With COVID spiking in Jacksonville, it isn't good to have it open. But they have a fabulous lunch box that has it all 3 main foods, rice, chutney, naan & gulab jambu.

The amount from my last buffet visit was $12.69 for just me. The buffet was very reasonably priced and had a great selection. There was a large vegetarian selection, and a smaller non-veg section. Lots of options all around.
