Unfortunately, I don't recommend this restaurant. All of the entrees are very expensive, portions are small, and the food just wasn't very good (was very bland). They gave us water bottles when we sat down and charged $1/bottle without letting us know beforehand. The restaurant also has a very, very strong smell that made it difficult to eat. The server was nice, but everything else was disappointing.

Smells EXTREMELY strong of cigarette smoke as soon as you walk in the door... like 50 years of being a dive bar and then being converted into a restaurant. We had to take the food to go because of the smell. Prices are insanely high, almost all entrees are $18. Food itself was good but only 3.5 stars or so. Service was okay... when they offer you water it's a plastic bottle of water, room temp, no glass, no ice. And they charge you for it.

I’ll start by saying that the food was very good… however, the prices on the menu are not the prices you’ll see on your bill. They haven’t updated the menu they say and every item underpriced on the menu. Also, they’ll place a water bottle in front of you when you get your menu and they’ll charge you for it on the bill. Maybe offer tap water as an option? Just be more up front and honest with your customers and I’d change this to 5-stars!

This place was worth every penny. Had the taste of India for one and it was great. If you haven't had Indian for and want to try, I recommend this place.

If there were stars that I could take away, I would have. We ordered food for a small get together at home. Food they sent us was horrible. Their butter chicken gravy was water like consistency and frozen chicken. Paneer from the chilli paneer was dry, had no taste as it not cooked properly.Naan bread were like eating rubber. We were told that they have great chef but after tasting that food felt like their cook was on holidays and some inexperienced person cooked our food.They charged us 400$ for that crapy food. Not worth a single penny. Would never go back and recommend others to not go there as well.

I love taste of India, When i walk out always reminds me home back home, the wood charcoal he uses just sets it for me and then the food is always piping hot and DELICIOUS, I pick up my naan and feel like I'm back in the desert eating fresh bread from the open fire and mmmmmm ... Feels like home. Thanks bunches too Balbi and the whole Taste of India family...????

Great food! Always tastes great! We love stopping here and getting take out when one or us are in the cities and heading back up north to home. Love their food!!

3 stars, because they’re cheaters. They have a sign in the front saying 10% off for cash payments and they don’t do it. This is NOT the first time they’ve done it to me,And they don’t give receipts so you can’t keep trackThey are not truthful. Good food but won’t be going back based off this encounter yet again, you keep good customers by being honest. They are not that. Not my fault they now loose my business. Take down the sign if you won’t honor it.

went here for the first time today. the food was very tasty, although the portion for the $13.95 entree was pretty small. our server was attention and efficient. 3 stars because when we sat down they brought us each a bottle of water. that seemed odd and wasn’t my favorite due to it being an unnecessary use/waste of plastic but even more annoying was that at the end we realized they were charging us for the water we didn’t even ask for. boo!

Still great food. Great GF bread. Miss the buffet.
