Indian food is well known for offering a very flavorful experience. Whether you want some spice or delicious naan bread, this cuisine has you covered. In fact, Mashed recently reported the best Indian establishments in America, and a Florida restaurant was named.

"Before you try your hand at some recipes in the kitchen, we recommend tasting the true flavors of Indian food at some of the absolute best spots in the country," Mashed introduces. Seventeen restaurants are then showcased, featuring mouth-watering images of their dishes. New York seems to be hitting it out of the park with this popular cuisine, as they had six restaurants featured.

Tasting Table recently explained that Indian food has a wide range of flavors and textures. This is due to the vast geography of the country. "From coastal regions serving seaside fare to mountainous areas where fresh produce is hard to come by, there's always a new dish for you to try," they state.

The Florida restaurant that was praised for having some of the best Indian food in the country has all the above. So, what is the restaurant?

Located on SW 72nd Pl, Ghee Indian Kitchen has select hours to be aware of. They are open Tuesday through Sunday for lunch from 12-2:30 pm and dinner from 5-9 pm (10 pm on Fridays).

Of course, you will find traditional favorites like the generous portion of Chicken Tiki Masala and raita, but Ghee's also has some unique offerings. For example, there's a Short Rib Dosa which consists of a fermented rice crepe filled with short-rib beef. It's then served with a side of sambar dal, and coconut chutney.

Lake Tahoe

Seneca Lake, New York

Seneca Lake is the biggest of the 11 glacial Finger Lakes. It's 38 miles long and more than 618 feet deep, making it one of the deepest lakes in America. What's extra cool is that the U.S. Navy even does some testing for submarines in this lake, because of its depth.

Yellowstone Lake, Wyoming

If you've ever been to Yellowstone Park, you've probably visited Yellowstone Lake. The massive lake is a part of Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming. It's actually the biggest lake in the park and one of the biggest highly elevated freshwater lakes in North America.

Lake Tahoe, California and Nevada

The famous Lake Tahoe is located right on the state line between California and Nevada. It's stunning, as it is surrounded by the glorious Sierra Nevada Mountains. This is the largest alpine lake in North America, making it a must-see lake.

Lake Santeetlah, North Carolina

Here's a special lake located within the Nantahala National Forest and surrounded by the Great Smoky Mountains. This is also a very pure lake, as its shoreline is mostly protected from development. It's a beautiful destination for fishing, jumping in a canoe or kayak or a picnic.

Hanging Lake, Colorado

Hanging Lake is so glorious. It's located in the middle of Glenwood Canyon in the White River National Forest, and it's actually part of the Southern Rocky Mountains. This lake "was formed by a geologic fault which caused the lake bed to drop away from the valley floor above," according to the USDA Forest Service, and is a designated National Natural Landmark.

Lake Superior, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan

The Great Lakes are, of course, some of the most famous lakes in the world. One that's often left of best-of lists is Lake Superior. It's the largest freshwater lake in the world and has a whopping 10% of the world's surface freshwater. Drink up.

Lake Michigan, Wisconsin/Michigan/Illinois

Lake Michigan is simply a landmark. It's actually the most deadly lake in America, due to the high volume of drownings. But, aside from the scary, it's a beautiful and large lake. The lake is spread over more than 307 miles, and there are many beach towns across those miles.

Lake Lanier, Georgia

Located in the northern part of Georgia, Lake Lanier runs nearly 40,000 acres. It stems from the construction of the Buford Dam. This lake is known for its super clear water. The water is actually crystal blue. How beautiful, right?

Lake Jocassee, South Carolina

Lake Jocassee is in the Appalachian Mountains, and it's actually a man-made reservoir. Its water flows from the mountains. This is another lake known for its very clear water, so you get to see all the fish and underwater creatures when you look down into the water flow.

Lake Okeechobee, Florida

Lake Okeechobee is the biggest freshwater lake in Florida. It's a very popular spot for largemouth bass fishing. Those who visit the lake get to learn the history and today's experience of the Seminole community at the Ah-Tah-Thi-Ki Museum, which is a bonus.

The Lake Erie shoreline touches Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania and New York. The body of water offers some of the warmest waters you'll find in the Great Lakes. Lake Erie also offers some fantastic areas to swim, making it a popular vacation lake.
