taste of india

great food. when we are in pensacola for the day, taste of india is always on my mind. we don't often have time to venture off the costco/sam's club path to have an enjoyable lunch. yesterday we had time & our lunch was excellent.

i have been craving indian food for a while & it really hit the spot. we ordered a salad chicken chaat, naan, garlic naan, chicken sag, chicken tikka masala & basmati rice. the chicken chaat we had never had before. it was chicken with tomatoes, onions & what tasted like jicama with the most delicious red dressing with a hint of orange. it tasted sogoodon the naan with some of the mint & tamarind chutney, they brought to the table. the chicken was cooked so moistly in all the dishes & the sauces were spot on. the only problem is i want more & we live a ferry ride & taxi drive away!!

beyond expectations. went there tonight (dinner is a la carte; lunch is a buffet from what i know) with my girlfriend after reading somegoodreviews here on urban spoon. after eating my delicious meal, i knew i had to write a review, and my first ever urban spoon review at that - it was that pleasing.

the physical restaurant was small and cozy, with one or two servers working along with the owner. after an american server took mine and my girlfriend's drink orders, the owner came to talk to us, making sure we knew what the food on our menus was all about. the care taken by the owner to see to it that we as guests were accommodated was excellent. the owner was obviously a people person; the way he welcomed us and ensured we made the right order was very pleasant.

being that some patrons will enjoy very spicy food, while others will enjoy the americanized, toned down versions (no spice), the owner makes it his job to ask what you like, and serve to you accordingly.

everything from the portion sizes to the water cups made the experience my best indian experience yet.

i'll be going back next time i'm in town.

love it!. i could eat here everyday. the food isgoodand the prices are reasonable. the new owners really try hard.

notgoodat all. the pakwaan is much better.

good curry, naan needs help. i went here with my three children for the lunch buffet. we recently returned from japan where indian cuisine is superb. i was really craving somegoodcurry and naan. i enjoyed almost everything on the buffet. the curry was really good. the chicken wasgoodmy kids loved it, tandori chicken was their favorite dish in japan. the rice left something to be desired though, it just wasn't quite the right texture. our hosts where warm and friendly and really kind to the children so thats a major plus. my biggest disappointment was in the naan. the naan brought to our table was small, crispy, and blah. naan, to me, is a big part of an indian meal. this naan was not up to par, it was really just sad. i will come back, like i said the curry was great, the people were friendly, i just really hope they make some improvement with their naan.

what we've been looking for. we recently moved here and have been exploring restaurants. this place has been the best thus far and vast improvement in indian food in this town. the menu gives you many options to choose from and the staff was verygoodat explaining the different dishes. the vegetarian options are excellent along with the tandoor items. the bowls and cups are from india and really gives you that special something you always look for in a restaurant, originality and makes you feel like you are in india. the cook is indian along with the owners and they are all very helpful. they will come to the tables making sure everything was perfect. not something many places do. we will be going for the buffet as well since we saw the tables and how many options are on it. for the price, i don't think you can beat that. we will definitely make this a restaurant to frequent to.

worst ever place to eat food, let only indian. just been there today at pensacola, fl. many food was stale, and bad. even after complaining about that, i was told it is the original taste andgoodas if i can't differentiate between stale and fine food. horrible food, too salty and disgusting, and very bad set up. they do not maintain cleanliness at all. for the price i paid, it was like getting cheated. will never go again. i had tasted taste of india at different places and this is the worst.

some ups and downs left us with mixed feelings but overall, they're alright, okay.

samosa's were a real treat as was the chana even though it was agoodbit spicier, hotter than what we're used to without ordering it that way. asked about adding potato but for whatever reason they were unable to it. garlic naan was meh, something we really look forward too.

on service issues, i think because the ownership sat us and took our order, the other servers and wait staff sort of ignored us not knowing who's table it was leaving us feeling a bit awkward and unattended. well, except for food and the check.

asked for water a few times and went without it for so long it ruined anything about the experience for me. actually had to get up and sort of demand it after realizing how ridiculous it was to be eating onions from the indian salad to hydrate myself. ack!!

there were enough other fiddly things to prevent me from rounding them up to a four, but a three is okay.

i had the lunch buffet. for the most part the food was good. the goat curry was especiallygoodthough the amount of bones was difficult to deal with. my biggest issue is the price. $13 for a buffet and glass of water is a bit much for pensacola

had the buffet , nice selection which included naan i'm used to that being brought to the table fresh but it was gone as soon as they brought it out so it was almost asgoodas table service. the only thing i really missed was a lentil dish. everything i has was very flavorful.

normally! i don't write reviews but after having food there, only hindi word i can use - wahiyaat!!!how can they give tripadvisor award to this restaurant? weekend menu for vegetarian in buffet was cabbage dry, dal & aloo (without removing skin) with full size beans, is it indian menu!!! no way.... no way it is close to indian food. onlygoodthing which i like there was plain rice and raita bcoz they cannot be spoiled.reviews should be taken from people who knows what is indian cuisine and food. it was crap food.

my husband and i love indian and this place was great! the food was authentic and fresh! i got the chicken tikki masala and was delicious! my husband got goat curry and was verygoodas well. his was more spicy but not too hot. service and atmosphere was wonderful! great place

life changing. let me start this review off by saying, i used to loathe indian food. i had been to a few places, tried a few things, and none of it was all too tempting. customer service-wise, this restaurant really knows how to impress. they remember their customers, they give great advice as to what to order, they don't keep you waiting, all the while they don't keep asking if everything is ok. in my honest opinion,goodcustomer service isn't asking every 5 minutes if everything is ok. they should be confident enough to know that it is.

two of my favorite dishes from taste of india include the rogan josh and the lamb vindaloo. if you have a taste for all things spicy you can even get their special ghost pepper sauce on the side. fair warning though, it will make you sweat. i honestly can't say enough great things about this restaurant. if you have a craving for the exotic and the delicious, be sure to stop by. side note, if you like masala chai, they sell the spices on the side, which they mill themselves in house.

good indian dine out. ordered a veg mulligtwany soup and chicken soup. both weregoodwith exception of coconut flavors in mulligatwany. entree were placed for to go which included saag paneer and for appetizer samosas. food wasgoodnon oily.
as a complimentary starter the fried papad was too oily. but the green chutney was really fresh. service was good. ambience quaint indian feel. overall nice experience.

so good. i decided i would step out of the box one day and try indian food for the first time. i saw thegoodreviews and decided to try this place. it's so delicious! i would definitely recommend going for the lunch buffet. i eat here once a week. it's one of my favorites. the owner is very polite. give it a try.
