Coral Springs Indian Dining Scene Expands With Two New Restaurants on University Drive
Two Indian restaurants opened on University Drive in Coral Springs in March 2026, marking a notable expansion of the city's South Asian dining options. Harmony Indian Cuisine, which specializes in the coastal flavors of Kerala and South Indian cooking, is offering a 5% discount to first-time customers through the end of August to welcome new diners to its distinctive menu. Jalsa Indian Modern Kitchen also debuted the same month, taking over a University Drive address that previously housed Honest Indian Vegetarian Restaurant.
🍛 Harmony's Kerala Menu and August Promotion Draw First-Time Diners
Harmony Indian Cuisine at 1142 N. University Drive is offering a 5% discount to all first-time customers through the end of August, a promotion aimed at introducing more Coral Springs diners to a menu that deliberately departs from the butter chicken and tikka masala dishes many associate with Indian food. The restaurant instead focuses on South Indian and Kerala cooking, built around the coastal flavors of coconut, curry leaves, and seafood characteristic of the Kerala region. The menu centers on a dedicated dosa section — where batter hits a hot griddle and curls into a paper-thin, foot-long golden cone stuffed with spiced potato, served alongside a trio of chutneys — as well as regional biryanis, seafood curries, and a substantial lineup of vegetarian, vegan, and halal options. TAPinto Coral Springs food writer Jason Perlow noted in a recent review that Harmony's regional identity sets it apart, citing its dedicated dosa section and a deep Kerala section built around coconut-based curries and seafood as distinguishing features in South Florida's Indian restaurant landscape. Beyond the dining room, Harmony offers catering for weddings, corporate events, festivals, and family gatherings, with customizable menus covering biryanis, curries, tandoori specialties, and vegetarian dishes. The restaurant also accommodates private functions including birthdays, anniversaries, and business events. Lunch specials are available Mondays and Fridays from 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. [1]
🍛 Harmony Indian Cuisine Opens After More Than a Year of Preparation
Harmony Indian Cuisine's path to opening day on University Drive was a lengthy one. After more than a year of planning, permitting, and designing, the restaurant opened its doors to the public on Thursday, March 19, 2026. The prolonged preparation reflected the scope of the project and the ambitions behind it. Richard Joseph, one of the four owners who brought Harmony to Coral Springs, expressed the team's long-held anticipation at the moment of opening. 'We've been waiting for a year to open, and we're very excited,' Joseph said. The restaurant is located at 1142 N. University Drive in Coral Springs, Florida. [3]
🍛 Jalsa Indian Modern Kitchen Opens, Replacing Earlier Indian Eatery
Jalsa Indian Modern Kitchen has opened at the southwest corner of University Drive and Royal Palm Boulevard in Coral Springs, moving into the space previously occupied by Honest Indian Vegetarian Restaurant in a plaza at that intersection. The new restaurant is one of two Indian restaurants to open in Coral Springs during March 2026, arriving in the same month as Harmony Indian Cuisine and reinforcing the University Drive corridor as a growing hub for South Asian dining in the city. The back-to-back openings give Coral Springs residents two new venues to explore regional Indian cooking along one of the city's main commercial thoroughfares. [4]
