Our Story

Authentic Indian restaurant, family owned. Our journey began with a dream to introduce the diverse and flavorsome world of Indian cuisine to Tampa Bay. Over the years, we have earned the love and loyalty of our patrons, who appreciate the authenticity and warmth we bring to every dish.

Kitchen is the place where new friendships & family bonds are made, traditions are passed down and new customs begin. We are about historical values and customary food with the spirit of the New South along with the Authenticity of Old South.

At Minerva, our kitchen is where history and tradition come to life. Indian food is more than just ingredients—it's about the stories passed down through generations. Our biryani, tandoori, and South Indian dishes honor the old while embracing the new. Whether savoring our famous biryani or a tandoori entrée fresh from the oven, you’ll experience the rich history woven into every recipe, making each bite a connection to the past and a taste of something exciting and fresh.

Located at: 📍 19050 Bruce B Downs Boulevard, we are a family-owned restaurant that has built a strong connection with the community through both our flavorful dishes and the warm hospitality that comes with every visit. What started as a dream to bring the diverse and rich traditions of Indian cuisine to the area has grown into something much bigger. Today, we’re proud to be a place where old friends meet, new friends are made, and every meal feels like home.
