I had a great experience here about three months ago, which made today’s visit a little disappointing. I arrived around noon, and while the food was still tasty, the overall quality felt noticeably different. Several items weren’t being replenished, the variety seemed more limited, and some dishes looked like they had been sitting out for a while. Comparing it to the photos from my previous visit, there’s definitely a visible difference. I was especially looking forward to the papadum they offered before, but it wasn’t available this time. The ice cream machine was also out of order, which was a bit of a letdown. Even the restroom had maintenance issues. For $16.99, I do expect a more consistent experience, especially considering how impressed I was during my last visit. Service was okay, but overall this visit didn’t live up to the standard I experienced before. I’m hoping this was just an off day, because I know they’re capable of doing better. 3 months ago—- Had a fantastic lunch at 5th Element Indian Bistro & Bar! Their lunch buffet is an incredible deal — under $20 per person — with both a meat bar and a vegan bar, plus dessert and chai tea. Everything was flavorful and freshly made. The restaurant is located in a plaza with plenty of parking, which is super convenient. Though the space looks a bit run-down, it’s large with lots of tables and perfect for groups. The service was good, and I noticed many Indian guests dining there, which really speaks to the authenticity of the food. Highly recommend if you’re in the mood for real Indian cuisine!

Arrived to meet friends. Then realized wrong date. Not worry enjoyed a fabulous Lamb Rogan Josh spice level 9 / 10. It was tasty and cooked to perfection. Sat at the bar while awaiting my non-arriving friends. Enjoyed a Taj Mahal Black Label. Helped with the hot spices in the food. I’ll be back..

I had an amazing meal at Fifth Element in Delray Beach! The **Chicken Hakka Noodles** were fantastic—stir-fried egg noodles with tender chicken, crisp veggies, and a bold, spicy Indo-Chinese sauce. The **Chicken Boneless Biryani** was equally delicious, with fragrant rice and well-spiced chicken delivering authentic flavors. The **Mango Ice Cream** dessert was creamy and refreshing, perfectly balancing the meal’s spices. The cozy ambiance and attentive service made the experience even better. Fifth Element is a must-visit for Indian cuisine lovers craving vibrant, flavorful dishes. I can’t wait to return!

5th Element in Pompano is delicious. But 5th Element Delray Beach is different. 3 stars for the kind servers & the venue itself. This place is located in a plaza and is large filled with many tables. We tried all sorts of dishes. We love indian food and get it every wknd. I would suggest lighten up on salt and try a more fresh approach. We are foodies and we do care, so sharing these ideas more to help. Dosa appetizer - potatoes tasted salty Cauliflower appetizer - overly sauced & salty Pani Puri appetizer - tasty Tandoori Chicken platter - tasty Eggplant curry - overly salty

So good I almost don’t want to tell anyone! Wonderful from the start with seating right away. Friendly, knowledgeable staff helped when I couldn’t remember the name of the appetizer I wanted and described it to them. We had pani pourri, delicious puffed shells filled with spiced potatoes, red onion, lemon juice and topped with a flavorful cilantro “water.” So refreshing! For our entrees we shared Chicken Tikka and Chicken Korma and an order of Garlic Naan. The entrees came with basmati rice, as well. Every bite was a delight! The servers were so kind and checked on us frequently to make sure we had everything we needed. We didn’t get dessert because we were full from eating all of the entrees! We will definitely be back!!
