Please avoid this restaurant for your own sake. My first and last time ordering from this horrible place. My Indian friend did warn me and tell me the places in pinecrest are overpriced and bad for the price. This place is definitely like that. Not only that, if they mess up your food, they will take zero accountability. I called to speak to the manager and to ask for a refund politely and he completely declined and accused me of lying! This is ridiculous and the only cheap restaurant that has said that to me. When a restaurant makes a mistake, it’s okay but they need to make up for it. I don’t want more of their terrible food and he won’t refund me so there’s that. Avoid at all costs!

We went on a Friday afternoon and thankfully it was less crowded. The staff was courteous and service was quick. Baingan Bharta and Butter Garlic Naan was delicious. Dal makhani was not so great though. We were happy and tipped well. What put us off was the paneer makhani. We had sensed it's unusual red colour. But after washing hands our finger tips remained red. That means it was a heavy use of food colour. They should avoid using artificial colours.

I recently discovered this restaurant. I have always wanted to try Indian cuisine and passed this restaurant on US1. My son and I decided to stop for dinner, and it was the best decision! Absolutely DELICIOUS! We enjoyed it so much we went back the following weekend and brought my mother along with another family member who was already a big fan of Ayesha. We love this restaurant! The food is flavor-full and the staff is so pleasant and wonderful! If you’re new to Indian cuisine not to worry. Your helpful server will ask you a few questions to suggest a meal that will be perfect for you. With such delicious food you cannot go wrong and the wonderful service makes the experience that much more enjoyable. Whether it’s a vegetarian dish, chicken, shrimp or those delicious lamb chops you honestly cannot go wrong. I highly recommend!
We have visited this place today ... ordered for some starter and biryani....where as raitha was sour and asked to change raitha ....this people added little sugar and gave me back the same raitha...very expensive and not worthy

Very over priced. We were the only ones there at the time, no other customers. Ask for lunch specials but they weren't clear about it (i can see why, so that they can rig whatever price they want). Apparently the menu we were given was not up to date so the prices were much higher at checkout. Last menu pic uploaded on Google reviews was 6 months ago so I felt like that's pretty recent, but apparently not recent enough considering all prices were $8 to $9 more then what was displayed. Thats ridiculous, in just less than 6 months?!? Cmon, really?! What changes or demands warrant such increase in prices? Please give it up with cliche excuses of "inflation", we've all seen/heard about it on BSPN. The store still looks the same. The food is still the same. I ordered chicken Tikka masala, the waiter said it doesn't come as lunch special but mentioned paneer so I said yes to it paneer "Tikka masala". Out comes saag paneer (spinach cheese tofu), far from Tikka masala. Reverted back to chicken Tikka masala and with attitude, he said even though it's not dinner time he'll get it for me. Apparently everything outside of lunch special is a la carte, so you have to order everything separately. Chicken Tikka masala alone was $25, it does NOT come with anything, no rice, no naan bread, no nothing, plus tax $2 = $27 and because I always tip 20% no matter what because that's just who I am, my final payment was just under $33, FOR JUST CHICKEN TIKKA MASALA. I would feel somewhat fair if it were a decent portion but it's not. It's a small bowl that you finish right away, won't even have enough to take home and I always have enough to take home because anybody who knows Indian food knows how filling it can be. I'm sure the waiter sensed something was wrong as I'm not the only one to react to outrages prices for such little portions. So he was quick to mention that "he's not the owner so take it up with the owner" smh, poor service. Miscommunication/misinterpretation due to language barrier. And ultimately the customer suffers at their expense, literally (no puns). Honestly if the food was amazing maybe I can try to balance/justify the thought of paying roo much but it was mediocre at best. I'm Indian myself, trust me, I know. I'm not being bias, because I brought friends there who are not Indian and it was their first time and they had much worst things to say, worst then me. The only one positive thing I can say is that the chicken was tender but other than that the flavor was certainly basic/mediocre/lacking. Sry Ayesha restaurant, I heard such good things and had to try it for myself.

We wanted to come back to Ayesha after not having been here for 5+ years...Ayesha's ambiance is very typical for Indian restaurants... definitely room for improvement there.Service was outstanding, and our waiter was always attentive and pleasant.The food has mixed pricing... some are expensive, but overall, most dishes run in the high 20s.Beer, however, is VERY expensive.The food was very good. Fresh and very tasty. Seasoning is on point. The kitchen runs great. Everything came out hot and in a timely manner.Great neighborhood restaurant to come and bring the family.
Today my family and I went for a Valentine’s Dinner. We walked in and were seated immediately. All the ladies got roses (a sweet gesture) so we started off good. However, the moment we were seated you could tell that the staff was not trained properly and were disorganized. The manager kept speed walking from table to table correcting the staff. The chef or owner was upset and told him something. There was cutlery falling constantly…so much movement. It took a long time for us to get our orders in for appetizers and the manager (and waiter) kept giving us suggestions on food that were on point. I asked him to put in the order for the entrees and he said something along the lines of “not yet, let me bring the appetizers out first”. Judging from the nearby tables, I figured it was going to be a long wait and sure enough it was. Two couple left while we waited and I enjoyed watching the chaos. We had to remind the manager/waiter about our appetizers twice and then finally I asked him to put in the order for the entrees because we would have been waiting all night.Now, my sister and I have been here before and they have excellent service. But that’s because there isn’t usually a full house and tonight every table was seated. I can tell they don’t do well with too many customers and it was painful to watch. No one was rude but they were obviously overwhelmed.Back to the positive, the food. It’s delicious. DELICIOUS. Major compliments to the chef. He was very kind and he even came out to apologize to the couple next to us that just asked the runner to pack up the food (they had been waiting a long time, too) when they brought it out. The food is ?️ spicy so if you can’t handle it, then ask for mild or very mild.Would I come back? Yes, I’d come back just for the delicious food and wine (order Moscato if you like sweet, dry Italian wine) on a night that I have nothing else to do afterwards. No, I won’t come back during a holiday because it will be the same experience as today.Btw, its free parking in front and to the left of the restaurant (in front of the Fred Astaire studio) if it gets packed.Hope this helps!Vegetarian options: Ah, well since it is Indian food you do have plenty of vegetarian options.
A surprise birthday outing. The food was great - our waiter was also great. His name is Gheorghe. He was the only person attending to the occupied tables and an awesome job he was doing. He even noticed we were undeceive and suggested a few items and one was something the entire table (of three) was able to share that wasn’t on the menu. The great thing was it was called Ayesha special. I forgot to mention that my name is also Ayesha spelled the exact same way. And it was my birthday. ?. That was awesome !Gheorghe even sung Happy Birthday along with my family. There was never a time we had to ask to replenish our items on the table ( glasses, silverware, etc.) He even informed us as the dishes were being prepared for serving.Server : ?
Great, authentic Indian food! No wait, service is always great. My child was not accustomed to the taste of a dish she ordered and got something else, so the staff felt bad and comped us a dessert!The butter chicken here is excellent and you must get the bread basket with your meal!

First time dining here, and I have to say the place was over the top. The staff was so friendly and accommodating. We basically just sat down and told them to bring us the best of their choices as we were not real familiar with Indian food. Delicious, you won't regret it.
