Top-Rated Event & Party Catering Services in Auburndale, FL

Beautiful experience every time. Timely service & exceptionally fresh food. I always can turn a bad day around with some of their savory samosas. Love the complimentary dessert with each meal as well ?? highly recommend

Well, I tried this new app(TooGoodToGo) to buy some food that places will throw out. Minerva was my first order. Paid like $12(discounted price) for a hefty meal that fed both me and my husband with leftovers. Quantity was hefty, food is very flavorful, and it being from India of course you get heat ?? ?? Our 1st time trying this foreign food. ?? My husband LOVED it.

I loved the lunch buffet from butter chicken, chicken Marsala, spicy veggies to naan bread, so much flavor! Amazing Soups, side dishes, etc. The pics say it all!! Great staff, pricing and I’m definitely coming back! ????

Very strange experience today... Ordered delivery of the Hyderabad goat biriyani , which was on BOGO. Received delicious biriyani. It was the contents which confounded me. Mixed in with the pieces of goat , was a substantial number of PIECES of CHICKEN AND 8 LARGE TAMARIND SEEDS !! I almost cracked a tooth on the seeds! Will be reaching out to the restaurant for an explanation. Perhaps it's a holiday weekend special? ??

Great food, exceptional customer service. I would recommend coming during the buffet from 12-3pm. Sending love and blessings ??

Food was great! Service was great, attentive but not too attentive ?? Reasonable prices. Buffett includes beer! (I’m not a beer drinker but I thought that was super cool!)

This is one of my favorite ?? ?? place in town I love their lamb and goat meal. Their spices are just right highly ?? recommend

A must have the 10 pc Lunch Special Bento Box. I tried to leave this review on Door Dash. absolutely delicious ?? Thank you!!

Great food and service

Minerva Indian Restaurant ?? Went here for the breakfast buffet and it was a great experience. They had a wide spread from South Indian favorites to North Indian dishes all tasting fresh and authentic. Special shoutout to the owner, Venkat, for the warm hospitality. The buffet is an absolute steal at $7.95, easily one of the best-value Indian breakfasts in Tampa. What really stood out was the generosity. if you liked something, the owner wouldn’t hesitate to offer a to-go box to take some home. Highly recommended if you’re looking for good Indian food, great service, and unbeatable value.

These guys currently have breakfast (7:30 - 10:30), lunch (11 - 3), and dinner (9pm - 1am) buffets, each for $10. I went for the breakfast buffet on a Saturday and really enjoyed the experience. I don't know the names of the dishes I had, but it was all really tasty. They even had this Masala chai (I think that's what it's called) and that was pretty awesome, too. A great way to start my weekend! Can't wait to give the other two a try! My brother-in-law sometimes order Biryani trays from them and they are pretty great, too. The staff are very nice and friendly, too. I'll be back! ??

Great food and selection?? I loved my experience??

My favorite Indian buffet! I drive from south St. Pete ?? The food is delicious and they have vegetarian options on the buffet. The price is great for the selection. The restaurant is typically quiet and it is very family friendly. The service is always prompt and friendly. More and more places are dropping their buffet during the week days. I am beyond grateful that I can go get buffet on a Monday afternoon here at Minerva, even if it is a long drive. Please don't ever stop! I will be a repeat customer for life ??

We had a veg buffet.. honestly speaking, except deserts, other food items were OK. Most of the side dishes were cold ??

I just had the chicken 65 entrée with some garlic naan and it truly changed my life. I have both eaten in and had delivery from this place(use the website!!) and both have been stunning. Do specify spice level if you need to because they know what they are doing ??

It’s hidden gem, we never saw something like this serving sodas and beer at all you can drink in buffet. Food is good for all palates. Thank you ????

Great food, amazing buffet. Will eat here again. ??

Hello fellow Foodies ?? Where should I begin I think we will start with how I ended up at this restaurant. I do a lot of food reviews and my friend suggested this place because apparently their food is amazing even the buffet is supposed to be full of flavor fresh every time and a good widespread balanced offering of fresh delicious foods with high nutritional value. Well this was hard to argue with so I told the girlfriend go get your helmet and we're going to ride the motorcycle over and we're going to give this place a try and I got to tell you I was impressed. The atmosphere was pleasant the building was nice and clean the staff was super friendly and the owner is a really nice guy. I do not ever tell any place that I am a food reviewer until after the meal because I don't want a false representation of what is being offered to me. Let me just start by saying the butter chicken was phenomenal and the rice was just so packed with flavor the naan bread was hot with a little bit of crunch to it and pulled apart so beautifully the sauce selection they have is also pretty extensive but every single dish that I tried and I had pretty much everything was flavorful cooked beautifully an extremely fresh. Feeling a little frisky about my food outing I decided to give an Indian adult beverage a whirl I chose the Taj Mahal which is a nice deep crisp lager it went very well with my meal. They have a huge vegetarian selection and a very reasonable protein selection the food will change sometimes on and off so the protein selection might be different the next night or day so it is always worth going back for another trip I was unable to get goat Curry during this food outing but I will definitely be back because I hear the goat is fantastic very succulent meat. All in all I give it a 9.4 the service was amazing the food was fantastic the staff was very very attentive to everyone's needs I will definitely be coming back with friends and family to not only hit the buffet again but also try some of their menu dish items because they have a very extensive menu. They are currently celebrating their 10-year anniversary at their location off Bruce B downs. We were given a very nice coffee mug with a thank you bag during our stay. Such a nice gift to receive after a wonderful dining experience. Congratulations to this family for putting in an exceptional 10 years to the community at Large providing wonderful food the entire time. I also would like to point out that during our dine in a woman outside apparently had a little accident getting out of her car and banged her head pretty hard off the concrete opening up a good wound on her head. She came into the establishment and the owner was so amazing he grabbed some paper towel offered to contact Medical Services if needed and brought her some food and stuff to eat even offering a little Tylenol to assist. This goes a long way in my book extremely humble of this man to go out of his way and cater to this unknown woman in a time of need. We need more people like this in the world today.

Absolutely love this place. Their food is delicious. My husband and I come a few times a month.

Their chicken tandoori is awesome

Delicious food????

We decided to give this restaurant another try and they did not disappoint! Food variety is so good and their dishes - especially the Tikka fried fish & Mango Lassi are delicious ??! While the price is a bit steep ($25 per person for the buffet) is truly worth every penny. We go there almost every Sunday now.... Try it.

Yummy soup and lamb chops

The food is indian cuisine so you can expect it to go in hot and come out hot?? but besides that its really and flavorful. The service is very nice as always. The atmosphere has improved to be more indian style which makes it more unique. the only problem is that some of the food im not familiar with so I don't know how to eat it but it's not to much of a problem. My favorite was the butter chicken with naan

Food was not that much tasty.. The buffet is very expensive and not worth it .. Desserts are very good ??

I thoroughly enjoyed the delicious taste and authentic Indian flavors. The buffet was varied and definitely worth trying. The desserts were absolutely divine. Thank you! This was my second visit to the restaurant, and it was wonderful and delicious, thank God! ???? Indian dishes and very delicious flavors. Thank you all!

They had a great sauce selection. The hot sauce pictured in the silver bowl on the buffet was my favorite. The paneer was Delicious. This buffet includes Soda and Buffet. I am visiting from Atlanta and I am glad I stopped by here. I did have to wait a few minutes at the door to be seated but they staff apologized for the wait and it was worth it. Shukriyah!

Beautiful experience every time. Timely service & exceptionally fresh food. I always can turn a bad day around with some of their savory samosas. Love the complimentary dessert with each meal as well ?? highly recommend

The food was excellent. We got the vegetable samosas, chicken masala, fried rice and garlic naan bread. This would be a five star rating however we were not impressed with the customer service. My girlfriend went to pick up our order and wanted to add 2 drinks to our bill and the woman got very upset and annoyed because she had already printed out our bill. When we got home we realized she had only given us 1.

They said the price for the buffet was 18.95$ per head on call and was written on the board outside but they charged us 25$ per head. Apart from that the food was just average for an Indian restaurant. The naan was little tough and paneer was good, biryani was bad.

I would only add a few allergen free items to the menu so we have more variety. Gluten free, dairy free and not so flaming hot options for sensitive stomachs.

Wonderful experience, nice variety and delicious food, exemplary of Indian cuisine will definitely come back

Excellent atmosphere Delicious and tasty food Perfectly spiced all dishes were excellent Definitely coming back Wait staff were friendly

Great food, but just needs to be hotter (temperature not spice!)

Food was not fresh and some food don't taste good.

We had a veg buffet.. honestly speaking, except deserts, other food items were OK. Most of the side dishes were cold ??

We recently had the opportunity to experience the lunch buffet. Unfortunately, the culinary offerings did not quite meet our expectations. The selection seemed rather limited and tasteless. While the service staff were polite, the overall dining experience left something to be desired. We were hoping for a more enjoyable meal.

Excellent cuisine and commendable individuals.

Chicken keema naan got me in a chokehold... I dunno how anything else tastes. That's all I order fr.

Wonderful, will be back!!

I just had the chicken 65 entrée with some garlic naan and it truly changed my life. I have both eaten in and had delivery from this place(use the website!!) and both have been stunning. Do specify spice level if you need to because they know what they are doing ??

This is truly my favorite place to go for Indian food! Have tried several Indian restaurants, this one is at the top of the list for ambience, service, quality and deliciousness!!!

We have been coming here for years - always great - the sauces are fantastic - I just wish they were closer to Zephyrhills - but we'll worth the drive

It’s hidden gem, we never saw something like this serving sodas and beer at all you can drink in buffet. Food is good for all palates. Thank you ????

Good place for casual lunches and dinners. They could do better with the service. The food tastes good, but needs improvement. Mango Lassi was really good, but the Chilli Paneer I had lacked the flavor of chilli and was not spicy at all despite specifically mentioning spicy. Though worth a try, I won't be a repeat customer.

visited Minerva Indian Restaurant in Tampa with my family and family friends, and we had a wonderful experience. We enjoyed a wide variety of both vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes available in the buffet. Every item was delicious and had an authentic Indian taste, which made the meal even more enjoyable. Our kids had a great time and thoroughly enjoyed the food as well. The staff were very kind, welcoming, and attentive throughout our visit. Overall, it was a fantastic dining experience, and we would be happy to visit again. Highly recommended for families looking for authentic Indian cuisine in Tampa!

One of the best restraunt’s I’ve been too. Amazing food, service, and atmosphere. I especially love their paneer and the dinner buffet.

Really good buffet very much enjoyed good clean food. Very tasty.

Great food, amazing buffet. Will eat here again. ??

Food is just fine but a place that uses AI generated video instead of showing their actual dishes in not I want to go back to.

Great service

Fire ??

I've been eating at this restaurant fairly regularly for the past five years and have always enjoyed my meals. Everything seems fresh and tasty to me and I've eaten in MANY Indian restaurants throughout my life starting 50 years ago!

Love the food. Will definitely be visiting them often.

Absolutely love this place. I think I could live off of their palak paneer and paneer butter masala.

Highly recommend! I got the chicken tikka masala with garlic naan! It was so flavorful and delicious. They adjusted the spice level to my liking (not too spicy). I will be back for sure!

Amazing food .. loved the ambiance and best part is food is fresh

It is a quiet and beautiful restaurant. The dinner buffet is worth every penny. The poori and goat curry is incredible, as well as the butter chicken, and paneer masala. 100% recommend, I will definitely be returning.

Mixed feelings — great potential, but menu execution needs work. We were excited to try this place and drove an hour and twenty minutes to get there, arriving around 6 PM. The space itself was pleasant and inviting, though only one server was on the floor for the entire section. Unfortunately, once we saw the buffet spread, it was clear this isn't being run by seasoned restaurant professionals. Much of the food seemed to have been sitting out since morning — reheated rather than freshly prepared, and honestly, it had the look and taste of yesterday’s leftovers. The biryani was dried out and bland, and the masala dosa came with barely a teaspoon of filling. We understood they might be going for a budget-friendly, affordable model, but freshness shouldn't be the trade-off. The most frustrating part: we asked our server, and then the kitchen staff, multiple times to remove the spoiled chutneys from the serving bowls, and no one did. To be fair, a few dishes stood out — the curd rice was genuinely fresh, and the dal, mutton gravy, fish fry, custard, gulab jamun, and coconut sweet were all good. The naan was decent too. There's real potential here. The concept is strong, and with some redesign of the menu and more attention to food quality, freshness, and staffing during buffet service, this could easily become a premium spot. Right now it feels like the kitchen team and management are underestimating what customers expect — or maybe they just don't have the right team in place yet. Given how long they've apparently been around, I'd have expected more consistency and even expansion by now. One more thing: please be transparent about service charges, tips, and card surcharges upfront — don't add them to the bill without informing customers in advance or online. We'll give this place another shot in a few months. I genuinely hope they turn it around — the bones of a great restaurant are here. It’s very rare to even exist this long as a restaurant today. You have it in you, and hope for years to come!

We’ve been ordering takeout from Minerva’s for years, but finally made our way in for the dinner buffet yesterday. It was phenomenal, we loved everything that was offered and it was awesome to get to try some new things! Don’t forget to grab some chai with your dessert too. We can’t wait to come back!

I loved the lunch buffet from butter chicken, chicken Marsala, spicy veggies to naan bread, so much flavor! Amazing Soups, side dishes, etc. The pics say it all!! Great staff, pricing and I’m definitely coming back! ????

Very strange experience today... Ordered delivery of the Hyderabad goat biriyani , which was on BOGO. Received delicious biriyani. It was the contents which confounded me. Mixed in with the pieces of goat , was a substantial number of PIECES of CHICKEN AND 8 LARGE TAMARIND SEEDS !! I almost cracked a tooth on the seeds! Will be reaching out to the restaurant for an explanation. Perhaps it's a holiday weekend special? ??

Great food, exceptional customer service. I would recommend coming during the buffet from 12-3pm. Sending love and blessings ??

Food was great! Service was great, attentive but not too attentive ?? Reasonable prices. Buffett includes beer! (I’m not a beer drinker but I thought that was super cool!)

This is one of my favorite ?? ?? place in town I love their lamb and goat meal. Their spices are just right highly ?? recommend

A must have the 10 pc Lunch Special Bento Box. I tried to leave this review on Door Dash. absolutely delicious ?? Thank you!!

Minerva Indian Restaurant ?? Went here for the breakfast buffet and it was a great experience. They had a wide spread from South Indian favorites to North Indian dishes all tasting fresh and authentic. Special shoutout to the owner, Venkat, for the warm hospitality. The buffet is an absolute steal at $7.95, easily one of the best-value Indian breakfasts in Tampa. What really stood out was the generosity. if you liked something, the owner wouldn’t hesitate to offer a to-go box to take some home. Highly recommended if you’re looking for good Indian food, great service, and unbeatable value.

These guys currently have breakfast (7:30 - 10:30), lunch (11 - 3), and dinner (9pm - 1am) buffets, each for $10. I went for the breakfast buffet on a Saturday and really enjoyed the experience. I don't know the names of the dishes I had, but it was all really tasty. They even had this Masala chai (I think that's what it's called) and that was pretty awesome, too. A great way to start my weekend! Can't wait to give the other two a try! My brother-in-law sometimes order Biryani trays from them and they are pretty great, too. The staff are very nice and friendly, too. I'll be back! ??

Great food and selection?? I loved my experience??

My favorite Indian buffet! I drive from south St. Pete ?? The food is delicious and they have vegetarian options on the buffet. The price is great for the selection. The restaurant is typically quiet and it is very family friendly. The service is always prompt and friendly. More and more places are dropping their buffet during the week days. I am beyond grateful that I can go get buffet on a Monday afternoon here at Minerva, even if it is a long drive. Please don't ever stop! I will be a repeat customer for life ??

Excellent, welcoming, and top tier service from Venkat! I came in late after a local show for a togo order and he was very kind, so much so I decided to sit for a drink and naan while my food was cooking. Everything was super delicious and I highly recommend, will be back soon!

I have recently visited the restaurant and the non veg buffet was really amazing. Thank you Venkat for the good food..

Fast friendly service. We liked the lamb and veg samosa. Food was flavorful and delicious. ????

Delicious food????

We decided to give this restaurant another try and they did not disappoint! Food variety is so good and their dishes - especially the Tikka fried fish & Mango Lassi are delicious ??! While the price is a bit steep ($25 per person for the buffet) is truly worth every penny. We go there almost every Sunday now.... Try it.

They didn't seem very knowledgeable or communicative of their menu

The food is indian cuisine so you can expect it to go in hot and come out hot?? but besides that its really and flavorful. The service is very nice as always. The atmosphere has improved to be more indian style which makes it more unique. the only problem is that some of the food im not familiar with so I don't know how to eat it but it's not to much of a problem. My favorite was the butter chicken with naan

Food was not that much tasty.. The buffet is very expensive and not worth it .. Desserts are very good ??

I thoroughly enjoyed the delicious taste and authentic Indian flavors. The buffet was varied and definitely worth trying. The desserts were absolutely divine. Thank you! This was my second visit to the restaurant, and it was wonderful and delicious, thank God! ???? Indian dishes and very delicious flavors. Thank you all!

Beautiful experience every time. Timely service & exceptionally fresh food. I always can turn a bad day around with some of their savory samosas. Love the complimentary dessert with each meal as well ?? highly recommend

The food is so fresh.The spices are absolutely perfect. the restaurant has a feel of a welcoming place where you can just sit and enjoy the delicious dishes prepared by the chefs at this restaurant.I look forward to coming here every chance I can. it's like the best buffet, but at the same time, you feel like you're in a major metropolitan area.And in one of the best indian restaurants in the neighborhood. That kind of sums it up.
