Essence of India is an exotic Indian cuisine restaurant in Tallahassee, Florida. Essence of India used to serve primarily Northern Indian cuisine, which has been influenced by the Moguls, consisting mainly of dishes and breads cooked in a special clay oven (“Tandoor”) and meats and vegetables slowly cooked with its ideal spice combinations. However, since February 2018, under new ownership, the "Essence of India" has transformed into fine Indian dining truly reflecting authentic Indian food with a myriad blending of herbs and spices from all over India.

Freshness is the key at Essence of India, which sets us apart from other dining options in the local area. Over time, we have earned the reputation of serving mouthwatering Indian dishes that reflects our time-honored traditional recipes… bringing reminiscence of nostalgia home. Essence of India wishes to serve our guests with nourishing food that touches the soul and brings to life the Indian culture with its enigmatic food.
