If you’re looking for incredible Indian food in the Winchester area, Taste of India is the absolute baseline for perfection. Every single dish is packed with authentic flavor, but their chicken specialties are on another level. The chicken is always tender, juicy, and beautifully spiced.

But whatever you do, DO NOT skip the Chicken 65. It is absolute top tier—perfectly crispy, incredibly flavorful, and completely addictive. Pair any of their chicken dishes...

High quality REAL Indian food. Unlike the ubiquitous Mexican restaurants in the area, this Indian restaurant doesn't dumb down its food. It allows for a wider spice scale for those who don't appreciate the heat but it stays true to the flavor.

I was there for the Buffet yesterday. I have enjoyed it once or twice in the past. But not so good yesterday. I am a vegetarian and there was no paneer dish. Vegetarians need protein and there should always be at least one paneer dish. Thanks!
