Flavor aggressively mediocre. Balance of spices is inconsistent. Daal from here is watery and lacks flavor. Saag dishes are okay.

I was highly disappointed by my lamb curry, mateer paneer, and potato patties. It seemed like the goal of the chef/business was to fill the container. Both of my dishes was watery and tasteless. Also instead of giving two rice with the dishes, they gave me one rice! I'll not be eating here again.

We ordered Bhindi Masala, Baingan Bharta and Dahl. Our food was delicious, especially the Bhindi. The traces of eggplant in the Bharta was minimal, but it was still pretty decent. I've ordered from them many times over the past few years and, at least for their vegetarian fare, it has always been decent. (I can't comment on meat dishes).

We had ordered palak panner and panner tikka masala. It tasted so bad that I had to throw all of it out. The paneer tikka masala was very watery and the paneer tasted like rubber. It seemed as if the food was frozen and then they unfroze it and gave it to us. There was also not much panner in the paneer tikka masala. I had requested when ordering that the food should be fresh but it wasn’t. The palak panner was orange instead of being green. I’m very disappointed by this experience. I will not be coming again.

This is my favorite Indian restaurant of all time. The food is great. A can't miss for foodies, for sure.

This is a really poor showing of Indian food for the Boston metro area, I’ve had much better Indian food in rural Mississippi. The tikka masala tasted like rubbery over cooked chicken dumped in a can of Campbell’s tomato soup, basmati rice was slimy, and the naan was stale. These are some of the most basic and commonly ordered dishes in an Indian restaurant in the USA; it’s comparable to a Chinese takeout restaurant not being capable of preparing fried rice and General Tso’s chicken.

Great service and taste. Casual and friendly environ

Decent. I was ok with my meal but likely won’t be going back.

Great food!! I love taste of India and order from there frequently. Food is always fresh and hot, good quality produce is used, taste is really good and drivers are really friendly. Five starts!

I was craving for biryani. So, I found Taste of India near by. I have always been a huge fan of biryani. But not anymore. I don’t think I can ever order biryani after ordering from this place. Nothing can be more out of taste than this. The chef really needs to learn what a biryani is. It seems they mixed whatever was left in the restaurant and delivered it.
