Recently went to 5th Element on a Saturday for their lunch buffet randomly. So glad I tried this place as I was amazed by how many non-veg dishes they had, not to mention the pani puti station and dosa station. Yes they make fresh dosa on the spot and its included in the buffet menu! Out of everything I personally loved the Nalla Karam Kodi Vepudu, its a fiery, aromatic Andhra-style chicken stir-fry where juicy, tender chicken is tossed in a dark, smoky, and peppery chili spice mix. It goes well with both rice and naan. Their goat curry was extremely flavorful as well. I’m definitely going to come to this place again next time I crave Indian food.

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!

The buffet was delicious and bountiful. Can’t wait to come back. Best buffet in South Palm Beach. There’s something for everyone and the service was excellent. Highly recommend.
