AUTHENTIC INDIAN RASOI We recently had the pleasure of dining at Indian Rasoi in North Bay Village, and it was an exceptional experience! We started with the Samosas, which were crispy on the outside and filled with a deliciously spiced potato mixture. The Butter Chicken was rich and creamy, with tender pieces of chicken that melted in my mouth. The Garlic Naan was the perfect accompaniment, soft and flavorful. The service was top-notch; the staff were attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. I also appreciated the variety of vegetarian options available, making it a great spot for everyone. Overall, Indian Rasoi offers a delightful dining experience with authentic flavors and excellent service. Highly recommended for anyone craving genuine Indian cuisine!

Entertaining your in-laws when they’re in town can be a daunting task—but it’s easy when you know the best restaurants around. Caracas Bakery in MiMo offers a delightful glimpse into Venezuelan cuisine. Start your day with their renowned cachitos, buttery croissants filled with savory ham and cheese, or indulge in the sweet pastries and empanadas that showcase the country’s vibrant culinary traditions. The spacious spot and friendly staff make this a welcoming place for families to gather and enjoy a taste of one of Miami’s best bakeries. Come early to beat the long lines, but even if you wake up late, it’s worth the wait.

The new Caracas Bakery located in MiMo is a great spot for a casual breakfast after the gym. We’d linger after breakfast, and stay working here. It’s even great for a breakfast meeting. And we’d also bring our friends from out of town to this spot. Caracas is a French-inspired bakery and cafe, with a hint of Venezuelan. We love the industrial feel of the bakery balanced out with softer wood finishes that remind us of Japanese bakeries. They offer different croissants (sweet and savory), pastries, breakfast toasts, eggs, cachitos (a Venezuelan must), and more. If you’re going for the cachitos, stop by earlier. These do sell out. Try their newer croissant flavors, like the salmon and cream cheese or the turkey and cheese. If you’re looking for a hearty sandwich, try the BEC with soft scrambled eggs, thick-cut bacon, and cheddar cheese served in their sweet potato bun or the BLT. Caracas Bakery is open Tuesday – Saturday from 8 AM – 4 PM. On Sunday they close at 3 PM.

They are three artists born in a popular neighborhood, cradled since childhood by the inexhaustible sounds of suburban genres as diverse as soul, blues, salsa, boleros, funk and so many more that later became influences. Food & beverage are available for purchase at the show. The Bandshell is an open-air covered venue, all programs are rain or shine.
