“I love trying different cuisines, but I think one of my favorites is Indian. Unfortunately I got introduced to it in England, and especially London, and none I have had since (except perhaps in a large NE city) have come close.

I was bemoaning that fact to the proprietor of an Indian grocery store I frequent off Baymeadows and Old Kings Roads and he suggested JAX Spice in St. John’s county just off exit 139 on I 95. So tonight we went and I was DELIGHTED. This was possibly one of the best Indian meals I have had anywhere they do not drive on the wrong (well, in truth, Right) side of the road. If I am being honest, not everything was a big hit, but that does not mean it wasn’t authentic, just not what I was expecting.

We started with a veg pakora – it was good but a bit bland for my taste. This may well be the way it is supposed to taste, since I have nothing to compare it to, but I would have liked some more “spice”.

Our mains were Chicken Tikka-Masala and Vegetable Korma. The Tikka was DELICIOUS and to my surprise (I am usually not a vegetarian entrée orderer/liker) I think I almost liked the Korma as much or better.

We also got the Bullet Naan which was delicious, warm and delightfully spicy.

We ended with splitting a Gulab Jamun Mousse. Here again, I have never had this before, but I found it a little too sweet and the dough balls a little too “soaked” in the sugar syrup. The coconut mousse though was super.

The prices were good especially for the amounts received; I mean heck we have tomorrow’s lunch in the fridge. The atmosphere is nice, the building is pleasant and there is plenty of parking. Additionally the staff is very accommodating and quick to offer suggestions if you are unfamiliar with that type of cuisine.

I know that there can be things that happen (like a busy time or an error in an order) but that is anywhere. I think that some of the very negative reviews were based on a single experience. But based on MY single experience my plan is to return often and eat my way through what sounds like a very large and delicious menu. Will everything be GREAT – doubtful, life just doesn’t work that way, but it will be good and that in itself is plenty of reason to go back.“

“Highly recommend Maa Kitchen! Their food quality is always top-notch, with amazing taste and freshness every time. We have ordered from them for many of our organization events, from small gatherings to large catering orders, and they have always delivered with great consistency.
The quantity is always generous, well-planned, and perfect for the crowd. They never compromise on taste, quality, or service. Maa Kitchen is definitely a reliable choice for delicious and satisfying food!“

“The food was absolutely delicious the waiter when we walked in great service she recommended the type of spices so we would have burning mouths when we walked out. The portions are huge and we ordered 2 bowls but could barely make a dent in them the garlic naan was fresh crunchy on outside and fluffy in the inside this Indian spot is the best in Jacksonville.“

“Indian and Pizza is a weird combo, but totally worth it! If you are looking for a sign to try this place, well here it is! The pizza was delicious! Make sure you save some room for their ice cream. May different flavors to choose from. Mind you this is not your basic ice cream. Will be back!“

“Service was excellent 😀 Our normal Taste of India is in Livingston Ala and we have tried other Taste of India one in Pensacola and Destin Fl . They don't even come close to the one in Livingston Ala, but the Taste of India in St. Augustine is just as good as the one in Livingston Ala . We ordered 1 order of Chicken Tiki Masala and Butter Nana bread and Mango Lassi and Dr. Pepper . We shared the food which was plenty for us .“

“Delicious vegetarian options and great anti-inflammatory dishes for people looking for a healthier way of eating.“

“Some of the best Indian food I have had in Jacksonville! Be careful though, they do not play around with spice if you ask for it to be spicy😅“
