Holi Indian Grill (A Flavor Of Joy)

"The new location on 23rd is really nice. Dimly lit for a cool ambiance, good for a date night. The food was very filling, most likely you will need to-go boxes. The naan is always my favorite so I highly recommend you add some for whatever main dish you order. My spice tolerance is limited so even a 1 is a bit much for me, but it helps they offer rice on the side. My only complaint was the lack of attentive service on a pretty slow night. Refills are a must for the spicy foods but we never got any, until we asked."

"If you haven’t tried Holi Grill in Panama City, you are missing out. This restaurant has fantastic food with so many dishes to choose from. They ask what spice level you like so they make the dishes how you like them. Excellent appetizer options. They have a full bar with plenty of seating as well. Kristy was tending bar last night when I stopped in to place my takeout order. She was super nice and made me a delicious cocktail."

"Holi Moli... The food is good! I ate here on October 24th and 27th of 2023. Frances recommended the Cheese Butter Masala and it's now one of my top 3 best Indian dishes to get. I added chicken! The Special Naan went phenomenally well with the Cheese Butter Masala. I was stuffed after eating dinner at Holi! Of course I had to come back for seconds! I ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala and it didn't disappoint! Christie provided wonderful service and made sure I ordered naan to get the full Indian dining experience. I avoided eating so much of the free appetizer on my second visit, to prevent being so full. Then I went back to the bar! Frances is an amazing bartender. I would put Frances in my top 5 bartenders in the United States. I told her I wanted a mango lassi adult beverage and what she created, with mango pulp, coconut cream and cherry syrup, did everything I imagined. She highlighted a different liquor in each drink she made: dark rum, amaretto, and coconut rum. They were delicious, kept the mango lassi taste and weren't overly sweet. Those drinks should be on the menu! Frances created cocktails on the fly for a number of guests at the bar and each person was very pleased with their drinks: German Chocolate Martini, Blueberry Cheesecake concoction, and others. I dare you to try her! Frances enjoys being a bartender and I tipped her for the amazing service. The restaurant decor is slightly upscale and very clean. Your nose will ease any tension around going to the bathroom as you're greeted with a pleasant scent. This could definitely be a date night location and food excursion for the foodies! You will be able to talk and hear each other in the restaurant without competing with restaurant noises. The kitchen is quietly tucked away making it easy to be present in the moment. I would eat here at least once a week if I lived in Panama City, Florida. If you have never tried Indian food, Holi is a great place to start!"

"This place deserved 5* reviews. Amazing decor, ambiance and service. We loved every dish we ordered. The presentation of all dishes is so great, you can tell it’s a real chef in the kitchen. A pleasant refreshing change after horrible “India grill” and “Taste of India” experiences along the highway. They also have a predefined lunch meal for those in familiar with Indian cuisine. Price is little higher but real Indian ingredients and spices are costly. The $8-10 places all uses frozen and canned ingredients. We visited here twice while on our trip to PCB. Momos and Sham savera were the highlight. Must visit."
