Absolutely divine! I had the Chicken Biryani and it was bursting with flavor — my taste buds are literally dancing and singing! Everything was perfectly spiced, tender, and so satisfying. Highly recommend Taste of India if you’re craving authentic, delicious Indian food. I’ll definitely be back! ((( ps it’s my second time here ))) Also it’s my favourite kind of place. Obscure, hidden treasure! Bypass the fast food and try an authentic WELL PRICED meal! You won’t regret it! Especially if you like Indian food.

We had our lunch here on our way to our night stay. Taste of India is located within a plaza that has multiple other restaurants. We ordered Chicken Tikka Masala, Chicken Kadhai, Chicken Biryani and Tawa Roti. The best of all was the Tawa Roti. I have never had soft Tawa Rotis like this ever in my life. We were so impressed that we ordered for more Rotis. The Chicken Tikka Masala and Chicken Kadhai were good. However, the quantity is less. The Chicken Biryani was okay. I have given 4 stars to the amazing Rotis and the friendly staff. Honestly, we didn’t expect must from this restaurant but it did surpass our expectations.

I had the chicken Tikka masala, medium spice, with the garlic naan. It was the best I’ve had in a long , long time. The gentleman working the counter was very charming and inviting. 10/10 will dine again. Coming back to try the Chicken Biryani. Also I believe the gentleman gave me a free rice pudding because he was worried for my well being with the spice choice I made. Maybe as a safety net to douse the heat. LOL The spice was perfect but the rice pudding was a perfect after spice desert.
