What People Are Saying About Taste Of India

The Scene
Crowds spill out onto the sidewalk on most nights, clamoring for what many locals claim is the best Indian in town. The two dining rooms of this converted house are cozy with low ceilings, packed-in tables and Indian tapestries on the walls. Service is a speedy, finely tuned machine with an emphasis on table turnover--this isn't the place for a long, lingering meal.
The Food
The tasty curries, masalas and tandoori dishes keep crowds coming back. Appetizer samplers are reasonably priced, offer a wide range of fried treats and come in meat and vegetarian options. There's a long list of naan varieties--the version stuffed with creamy spinach is a savory winner. For entrees, the saag paneer and butter chicken are the stuff of local legend, but there's not a faulty dish on the menu. Soothing kulfi--Indian ice cream made with sweetened condensed milk--makes a nice finish.

My boyfriend and I LOVE this place, especially if the owner is there. He treats us like we're famous. Cozy atmosphere, and we never wait, even if it's busy. Great staff, the food is good, and I could drink their chai for the rest of my life, it's soooo good!!

This is one of my favorite Indian restaurants for eating in or taking out. I love their saag dish and their eggplant dish. I've loved everything I've tried. The style of the restaurant is pleasant with the beautiful Indian wall hangings and other decor. The staff is always very efficient in serving quickly, which makes this place bearable even when there's a line waiting.

I have been frequenting this restaurant for close to 12 years now and the quality of food and wait staff has always been first rate!!, The food is incredible, the wait staff attention is first class!! I have taken every family member and date to this restaurant. Every dish made is quality-I have yet to taste chai tea that even comes close to theirs -oh and the spinach nan -heavenly. My favorite dish is mutter paneer, and a must try is the butter chicken! My far my favorite restaurant!
