Restaurants in West Little River

Situated inside the lauded Lords South Beach Hotel, Cha Cha Rooster serves internationally inspired meals in a variety of elegant settings. Gauzy white curtains and trimmed hedges surround the street-side terrace. Inside the aptly named Gold bar, thousands of sparkling scales cover the walls surrounding guests sitting at a long banquette or in studded leather chairs to share cocktails and secrets. Guests share hearty breakfasts and express lunches in the retro-chic dining room or while lounging beside one of the resort's three outdoor pools.

The servers at Indian Chillies helpfully walk first-timers through the extensive menu. Their suggestions cover a range of timeless and modern dishes, from the tandoori chicken—praised by the Sun Sentinel for its "scrumptious charred exterior"—to Indo-Chinese chow mein. Though the kitchen staff labors over several zesty entrees, they specialize in smaller plates, such as samosas, halal chicken wings, and various flatbreads.

Vegan, vegetarian, and meaty plates satisfy diners of all persuasions, whether they're perusing the menu or loading the buffet onto the back of their truck. As their ears bask in Bollywood tunes, guests can finish up by sipping a mango lassi or savoring gulab jamun, a lightly syruped dessert of milk-and-cottage-cheese balls.

Aspiring to delight each of the five senses, Doré colorful atmosphere serves as both a hip lounge and dining destination for contemporary cuisine with an international flare. Beneath glittering chandeliers and glowing lights, diners sip on wine while browsing a menu of small plates of lobster crab cakes and entrees of aromatic, tandoori-spiced duck breast or six-hour braised lamb shank. Each night, live DJs weave a soundtrack that blankets the chic interior, providing a beat to chew each bite of tuna carpaccio to.
