Taste of India provides an excellent dining experience with flavorful food and attentive customer service. The menu features authentic Indian dishes, including the popular lamb biryani, which is flavorful, tender, and loaded with big chunks of goat meat. Customers appreciate the balanced spice level—neither too spicy nor bland—and the proper selection of goat meat with no bones or bones-less pieces. The biryani offers generous portions and good value for money. Many guests have been returning for years, highlighting the freshness and high quality of the food. Popular dishes include goat curry, buttered chicken, naan, and the tandoori lamb chop, which is highly recommended. Diners can ask for their preferred spice level, and desserts like rice pudding and mango lassi are highly praised. The restaurant also features unique dishes like the chef's special Indo-Western lobster dish, with a sweet-tasting lobster tail and flavorful red tomato gravy, as well as fried sweet potatoes and king prawns, which are all well-made and delicious. The atmosphere is calm and clean, with quick service and plenty of parking. Overall, this place is a favorite among both locals and visitors, offering a true taste of India and great value for money.
