A pursuit for knowledge was the stimulus and continues to be the driving force behind Chef Niven’s career. Ghee means PURE and has a symbolic meaning both spiritually and in the kitchen of an Indian home. The restaurant encompass traditional Indian home cooking, ingredient driven using local artisan purveyors. Chef Niven highlights the experience of dining at Ghee: "I want to my guests to walk into Ghee with the sense of entering my home. I want them to feel at home. I want them to smell the aromas and spices and get more engaged in their meal. One of the things that I always tell my cooks is, ask questions, be inquisitive if you don’t know. I want the same for my guests."

This restaurant doesn't deserve even single Micheline star. Neither food cooking quality nor the ambience justifies the reason for it being achieved a star. Overall such a let down and eroded my trust on entire Micheline star system. I usually visit restaurants that have earned these prestigious stars during my travel and usually I am pretty blown out by the food but this time it was completely opposite and utter let down. I am not saying it was bad but its just not worth the hype or prestige. It was an average to below average indian restaurant.

The red wine should be served at a cooler temperature. Ghee stores their wine on shelves, and because Miami has a very hot and humid climate, the wine gets warm.
