This place was way to expensive for the food they served. The lentils were cold, the Naan was microwaved and the guy serving us did not look like he wanted to be doing the job. Almost 40 buck for this meal is not worth the time or food.

TRUST these reviews go somewhere else!! Worst Indian food I've ever had, bland, undercooked, and watery.

You would think that with the name, "Taste of India" the owner and cook would take care to prepare and serve QUALITY, GOOD tasting food.I was at the mall yesterday with my family and stopped by the food court. The REALLY BRIGHT color of the Masala, the watered down Butter Chicken, the dry rice - it all ended up in the trash.I would not recommend anyone spend any money here.The employee was attentive and nice, nothing against him BUT if this "food" is meant to represent the Taste of India, then I do not want it. Like the previous post says, this needs to be shut down or the owner needs to do better.Dear Owner, You should be embarrassed serving this kind of "food" in Tyson's and calling it the Taste of India.

This was delicious. I stopped past here after returning some holiday items and seeing a movie. The employee was so nice to me. I requested about 3 samples and he did not bat an eye. He just gave me the samples. He had no questions and the samples were generous too. Anyway I enjoyed both the Butter Chicken, Chicken Marsala, but ended up going with the Butter chicken. I got the 1 meat combo and that comes with rice, and 1 side. The drink was separate and kinda high for a can of soda. The bottled water was cheaper. The side options were mixed veggies and chickpeas. So standard but I didn't love either of them. I also got the warm garlic naan and that was tasty. Overall, I'd come back.

Taste of "water" is more like it. We seldom give out bad reviews but let's face it... that's what this app is for, to find or avoid food. Conveniently located in the food court, coupled with outstanding service with a smile. However, the chicken tikka masala was just pink chicken floating in watery oily broth. Probably the worst Indian food I've ever had.
Easily the most bland Indian food I've ever had. No salt or butter in butter chicken and the chickpeas were extremely undercooked. Unfortunate.

Chicken buriyani was basically plain rice with chicken. There was no line at this place and now that makes sense. Will never

We ordered samosas for our toddler. The samosas came looking old, soggy and nasty. I told the lady that these samosa are not good and she should not sell this. Her response was “this is how samosa look like and don’t tell me what to sell… I am running a business her”. Clearly they had no customers lol…She offered mango lassi but that’s not what we wanted. I asked for money back and her response was that they don’t do returns and if they take the food back they have to throw it in trash. They should have thrown that food away at first place.I was upset that she knew I had to feed my child…how can she be so heartless and sell bad food to anyone.Anyways! Looking at their other food they look watery and tasteless.I’m Punjabi and I know what samosa look and taste like. That is not an Indian food at all. Don’t waste your money here.I wish I can give them negative star.

Never waste your money here. They mix Handi’s chicken with rice and name it Chicken Biryani with no taste. It is too expensive with no quality.
