This restaurant is located at I5. It looked like a small Punjabi dhaaba, as the interior the look was amazing. Serving was superb and have kept the restaurant amazingly clean. Along with this restaurant they also have a tinny little shop were you can find some essential stuff.

Food I will not rate 5. As being Indian I know what exactly it must taste like and am also aware of its origins flavor. Me and my husband ordered chicken biryani and mutton biryani. It didn’t look Or taste like biryani its looked like they have mixed all the rice along with the chicken or mutton gravy. It has so much spices that it only tasted masala, they also served curd along with the biryani and it really tasted amazing as it felt like homemade. I also enjoyed the mango lassi it was very refreshing.

Great food, clean restrooms, small Indian imports market, and has Indian dining beds. The Goat Curry is the Greatest Of All Time. Been coming here since 2009 - best food along Highway 5 for miles.

Outstanding! Food is prepared hot. "Medium" spice is just perfect. Chicken tikka masala and garlic naan with the side of the basmanti rice is a very filling meal. And as a recommendation I let the waiter pick my desert popsicle I'm guessing it was mango and it tasted like very Sublime mango sorbet with a finish of kerrygold butter I suppose is ghee. They have a complete shelve space on the wall of Indian products like soaps and other household stuff it seems interesting, looks like a good place for tourists to load up. Also a great variety of liquor bottle options that would make great gift sets.

"I'm so glad I spent 50$ to be disappointed" said no one ever. First off, we walk in, the whole place is empty of customers, and the 3 people working there just look at us. There's no reception no cash register, nothing. So we walk in a bit and, after standing there with them just staring at us for almost 45 seconds I ask, "...should we seat ourselves, or order, or...?" And one of the guys scoffs and says "no, order over here." So we go over to order. After ordering, I ask for a receipt. He's cagey and kinda weird about it so I'm glad I did. He over charged us on everything. The menu says my paneer masala was 12.99 but the receipt shows he charged me 13.50. That's absolutely insane. There's added tax and tip at the bottom and we asked to take out so why the hell would he just up the price and charge us more for no reason Total scam. But then, we finally get the food. We had asked for take out, and, when he started putting to go containers on the table and plastic plates, I assumed there was no miscommunication. But then, when my partner asked if we could get a bag, he kind of freaked. He acted like we were going back and forth and being a pain for wanting what we had asked for in the beginning. Poor service.
My partner used the restrooms and said they absolutely reeked and were nasty. Super gross for a food establishment.
The server eventually brought back our food, so we took it and left. But when we tried it, another disappointment! For a restaurant that closes at 11 pm, our 8 pm arrival was nothing close to closing. So, to have my curry HALF FULL WITH WATER is insane. I got paneer masala. A classic. Something that is relatively common. The only explanation I can think of was that they were running low and didn't want to make another batch or something. So instead, they just filled the rest of my to go tub with water. I ate this suspension of curry water just to make sure I wasnt confused or something but no. Every bite was flavorless and wet. A masala should be buttery and flavorful. What the heck! It was disgusting and disappointing. I wish I could go back in time and save myself the money and the disappointment.

Tldr: they charged more than listed prices and the food was poor. Don't eat here

Probably seen this place 100 times, this dump in the middle of nowhere.... The amazon garage lights in the ceiling and cafeteria like dining room should set 0 expectations. This will set you up to enjoy the food more. Tried the goat curry and chicken tiki masala w basanti rice and garlic nan. Sets you back almost $50. Taste is decent. Perhaps not as rich/bold as the reviews say. Goat was a bit tough. Chicken cuts uneven. I liked the rice over the nan as it was a bit more doughy than I like. They can make it spicy w a decent kick. They do not offer free water.

I recently dined at Taste of India restaurant and unfortunately, my experience was quite disappointing. To start, I ordered the Paneer Tikka, which was lackluster. The paneer had an overwhelming sour taste, and even the green pepper seemed off. Moving on to the main course, I opted for the butter chicken gravy with garlic naan. However, the chicken in the gravy was undercooked, which was a major letdown. The saving grace was the garlic naan, which was decent. I also tried their mango lassi, which was just okay. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend this restaurant. I was hoping for some comforting food after a long drive, but my expectations were not met.
