What People Are Saying About Taste Of India
Featured Review

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…

Seattle's best Indian
by Christopher Bruce at Citysearch
I was told that "Taste of India" is the best authentic Indian restaurant in the U.S., I had to see for myself and went the same night. From the moment we walked in, the servers, bussers and host were polite, receptive and so attentive. At times it seemed we had several servers, but we were never overwhelmed by them. The selection was good, and offered choices for many tastes. Our meal was quick, cooked right and seasoned perfectly to your spice choice. We were so grateful to the staff and would recommend this authentic Indian Cuisine to anyone. Yum! Dhanyawad

Hands Down The BEST Indian food in Seattle and the Eastside
by Michele Raqs at Citysearch
Despite there being wall to wall people on a Friday night, we were seated (party of 2) in 20 minutes.
The servce is very friendly, prompt and you never have an empty water glass.
Some Indian restaurants tend to put too much breading on their dishes and the food ends up heavy and greasy. Not here. Food arrived hot, extremely savory and the breaded dishes had a light, crispy coating.
I have a new favorite restaruant.
- Pros: delicious, light, quality ingredients, flavorful
- Cons: can get crowded, but you get seated fast

Crazy servers, Ok food, Overrated
by duckyfuzz9 at Citysearch
Food first, the appetizers were great. But, when the main course came out, something was off with the Sag Paneer, can't put my finger on it, but it was below average. The Nan was terrible, it was more like pizza dough, just bad.
The service is crazy. They had a small electric floor sweeper and they vacuumed the dining area twice while we were there, practically going under people with it. You seriously can't drink half of anything without them refilling it. With the tea, same thing, which is totally cool being free refills. It's fun for a while, and I actually recommend going just to experience this, but after a while it's annoying. India is kinda of crazy like this, so I'd say it's pretty cool as a real taste of india, but the food isn't worth going out of your way for.
- Pros: Free tea refills, good pakoras
- Cons: Free tea refills, service is ridiculous
