taste of india

satisfied customer!. greatrestaurantwith a warm and welcoming atmosphere! the food is delicious, and i have to give it up to the owner who knows what he is talking about with his food. i've had indian food many times before, and i can say this has been the best experience yet!!! the owner was a great and took the time to recommend dishes to us, the sukha maas and butter chicken are phenomenal. the naan was fresh and hot and the lentil rice cakes were amazing! the service was fantastic and after our meal he came back over and asked if everything went well. the service is great and staff is very customer caring and friendly. i will definitely be back over and over again!

beyond expectations. went there tonight (dinner is a la carte; lunch is a buffet from what i know) with my girlfriend after reading some good reviews 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 physicalrestaurantwas 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.

wonderful atmosphere and buffet. i have found that i can accurately judge the food at an indianrestaurantbased on their mint sauce... taste of india had excellent mint sauce. :) went with my husband and 4 month old baby and we were warmly welcomed and served. will go again soon. great deal on the buffet, $21 for 2.

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 very good at 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 arestaurantto frequent to.

one of the worst buffet i had ever had in any indianrestauranti had eaten. probably knowing how to cook myself didnt help my cause. for the price they charge, it infuriates me to see frozen veggies being used. the food is so worthless, their own employees do not eat there (one of the employee told himself) . the place is just cheating people who want to get a taste of indian food, by serving stuff which is not even close to being indian food. street vendors in india can offer food which is far more authentic than this place does. their chole masala and aloo curry both taste the same. no one in their right mind use corn in biryani and curries. i was told none of their meat is fresh. utappams need chutney and they serve sauce. tell that to an indian foodie and he will laugh at your face. for $100 for a family of 7, what we got was just bs. i urge you....do not go to this place. eat a sub or a burger and you will thank your own judgement take this from an indian. there is nothing here that tastes like how it should be. not even the water in their annoyingly wobbling tumblers.

this is probably my favorite place to eat in pensacola! i've been eating here for years, and the food is always amazing. thisrestaurantis family owned and operated, and you can tell how much they love their customers! i recommend the chicken tikka, the coconut curry, and the chicken tikka masala especially.

we went to taste of india on a friday night around 9:30pm, because on this app it says it closes at 10pm on friday nights. however, when we got there, we were informed by a group of people standing outside therestaurantthat they close at 9. i walked in, a little stressed, just to check with the hostess to make sure. he said they were closed and i said, but online it says you guys close at 10. another man came up (i believe he was the owner) and saw that i was stressed and said we are closed, but could i offer you take-out? i replied yes, that would be great. the owner completely took a bad situation and made it into a great one. even though they were closed, taste of india graciously served us! great service and great food! there needs to be more restaurants like this one!

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, thisrestaurantreally 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, good customer 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.

the best indian food in town!! i've been all over the us and i can tell you that i am happy they are in pensacola, it's hard to find an indianrestaurantthat can capture the distinct aroma, flavors, and luxurious texture of rich indian food that the taste of india can. i got my husband and friends from colorado hooked on their food. i've tried to cook the traditional indian way, and it is difficult. way to go! i crave you regularly.....

the best indian food in town. the best indianrestaurantin pensacola. we've tried the other indian restaurants in town and we had wasted our time and funds. there are plenty of choices....try the buffet and you will not be disappointed. love it!

best in the area. we tried every indianrestaurantin town and this is by far the best! the vegetarian dishes we have tried are amazing and delicious. the prices are reasonable for the very large servings. the owners are very friendly and really make you feel at home.

i can't say enough about how wonderful thisrestaurantis! the staff is friendly and accommodating, and the food is amazing! we love that so many vegan options are on the menu, and enjoy trying new items. keep up the good work!

avoid. i had never been to thisrestaurantand was attracted by a two for one buffet coupon. i love indian food. i have been to india and had indian food all over the world. this buffet was the worst i have ever experienced. the food had some sort of odd flavor which i did not like. some was not served very warm and the spicing was far too timid. i felt miserable all afternoon. i recommend you avoid this restaurant.

disappointing. my husband and i are big fans of indian food. being british, where curry is considered to be a national dish, we've eaten and enjoyed many indian meals. we've lived in savannah for 18 months, but had never tried taste of india, mainly due to a mediocre review from a fellow ex-pat. but as we were in the area tonight, we decided to give it a go.

the menu looked interesting, with a wide selection of entrees and sundries. the reception area was also adorned with a selection of best of savannah certificates hailing toa as the best indianrestaurantfrom 2009 to 2012.

we ordered raita, papadums, and a masala cream cheese stuffed naan, and for our main courses, i went for the chilli paneer and my husband opted for the lamb pailtia. we had at least a 20 minute wait for our food, and in that time we were asked by at least three different staff if our order had been taken yet!

our food smelled promising when we unwrapped it at home, but sadly our enjoyment was purely olfactory. my paneer dish was dry and bland, and my husband's lamb was, in his words, "disgusting", and it disappeared down the waste disposal after a few bites.

even the sundries were below average. the raita had the consistency of milk, rather than rich creamy yoghurt, the naan was undercooked and doughy, even the papadums were less than satisfying.

our takeaway for two was $40, so i expected a lot more than we got. in fact, if we'd eaten in the restaurant, and the quality had been the same, we'd have sent it back.

to summarize, any indianrestaurantthat can't cook lamb, or get flavor into highly spiced dishes is doing something wrong. oh and to clear up the disparity between the food we ate tonight, and it's various accolades, it's only one of two indian restaurants in savannah, so i guess it always has a 50% chance of coming out on top!

if you're looking for something flavorful with a bit of heat, try fire or the king and i. both offer thai rather than indian curries, but deliver on taste.

i didn't order fish.... i have been coming to thisrestaurantfor quite some time and really enjoy the food. it is one of the best indian cuisine restaurants i have been to. we went for valentine's day and wanted to enjoy a lovely meal at one of our favorite restaurants. however, one of the waitresses was in a very revealing dress, to the point where i could see things i really didnt want to. i left very upset and appalled at what she was wearing. i don't understand why she was allowed to wear such an outfit as a server at an indian restaurant. and quite honestly if i had to look at that again, i would just leave instead. its very unprofessional and honestly it kind of made me lose my appetite. also dont bother leaving your waiter a tip, they dont get to keep them. i saw the waitress i had, handing the tip i gave her to someone up by the cash register.
