What People Are Saying About Taste Of India
The Editor

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…

Great place all around
by red_nina
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!!
- Pros: Best chai you've ever had

Best food and service (unless the evil sister is running the show)
by Pamelaxx65
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!

Great food, INSANE servers!
by sammysue78
So the food here is really good, I have no beef with that at all. I love the nan, mango lassi, chai (SO good), and tikka masala. BUT...the waitstaff is RIDICULOUS. You can hardly have a private meal without someone bugging you every two seconds, like someone else wrote "I dare you to finish your water"--it's impossible! And annoying to always have someone hovering, waiting for you to leave your glass less than 2/3 full. Then, at the end of a meal they come and bring a SPONGE (hello, germs?!?!) and they clean the table in front of you. Any idea how many germs are in sponges?!? Completely disgusting, I never touch the table after that...sponges as so unhygienic.
In short, go for the food, but be ready to shoo away servers after each sip of a drink!
- Pros: Mango lassi, chai, tikka masala.
- Cons: Intrusive servers---NOT a good place for a quiet dinner.
