Pinnaaki is a fantastic mom and pop shop that serves freshly cooked authentic North Indian food. My favorites include the Papdi chaat, goat curry with garlic naan, butter chicken, mango lassi, and gulab jamun. The mango lassi comes in cans, but it is made fresh daily and canned in the store. They have the best prices for authentic Indian food (this is one of the few places in Lake Nona where you can get a meal for less than $10) in Lake Nona and also do catering. The service takes some time as the food is made fresh, but it is so worth the wait. There is plenty of seating and there is plenty of parking in the garage. This is such a hidden gem in Lake Nona amongst all the chain restaurants, an excellent option for vegetarians, and i highly recommend it as a great place to get some home cooked Indian food!
Great food and great service all around. Was very pleasantly surprised, with it being made in real time i was not expecting it to be so good. Everything was FANTASTIC, added fries to eat in the car on the ride home.... wow even the seasoning on those was great. I definitely will be back whenever im in the area

Amazing! I finally came here after wanting to go for ages and have not stopped thinking about the food since. I’ve ordered twice in the span of a week just because it’s so good. Every single thing my family got was fresh and delicious. Don’t miss out on the fresh made lassi, absolutely delicious. Phenomenal service as well, will definitely be making this my go to!
Come here, you won’t regret it! Amazing samosas, lassis, and naan!!! Loved the paneer. Music is a vibe; the owner is super nice too. Thank you Pinnaaki!!!

I got the butter chicken bowl with medium spice and it was delicious. The medium is spicier than other places “medium” that I’ve tasted so warning if you’re sensitive to spice but I enjoyed it. Saucy and tender. The portion is also great! Service was fast and kind. I also got a student discount! Overall delicious, fast, and great value!
