This review is solely for their samosas. At a little over $1 each these are so worth your money. We've been getting them for almost a year now Hot and tastes fresh each time. We always buy a dozen and its costs a little over $13. Great for apps or snacking. Service is always really quick. We typically get our orders within 10 minutes of ordering. Will be trying their dinner when I get a chance. read more

I was pleasantly surprised there is an India's Taste location in Markham. It's hard to find Indian food around here that is affordable so this was a nice late night find. When we arrived there was plenty of parking and tables available since we got there past dinner time. It's a large restaurant though which they have renovated with a nice ambiance. They have multiple options for Indian food you can get any types of mithai, buffet, thali (vegetarian or non-vegetarian options) and take-out. Customer service was great too and she was very attentive. Food tasted great! I will be visiting here again for sure. read more

I love Indian food and India's Taste in Markham is one of my favourite places since they opened in 2010. I haven't been here for a long time but I used to come here often when I worked in the area. They offer a wide variety of dishes, all with authentic Indian flavours, and all delicious. My friends and I feasted on their buffet offerings until we were absolutely stuffed! Everything tasted great, especially the freshly made garlic naan. The food is fresh, flavourful, and very craveable! read more

It's been awhile since I've been back to India's Taste (since pre-covid actually I think). Recently came back with friend's to celebrate a bday. I noticed a couple of decor updates as soon as I walked in (the seating layout remains the same but there's extra caging on the raised floors now). The buffet area has definitely shrunk a little bit in size. The lamb tawa station is gone now. I'm not opposed to the buffet shrinking in size as the quality of the food seems to have remained. The butter chicken is still super delicious and complex. One thing I do wish for when I come here is for the chicken to be cut into slightly smaller chunks (they're massive). The goat curry and goat vindaloo are cut into perfect sized chunks. One thing that's changed for the better is the naan! They used to only offer regular naan for buffet. Now they ask you which naan you want! We kept ordering more garlic naan (which is SO GOOD BTW). The dessert stations here have never really tickled my fancy that much. I do like the gulaab jamun and also tried stuffing ice cream into my panipuri (pretty cool combo, crispy on top of soft). You can buy kulfi bars from the refrigerated container by the entrance. I kinda wish they provided kulfi as part of the buffet tbh. But yea, the prices have kept going up sadly. Used to be $16 for weekend dinner buffet pricing. Then $23, then $27. The current pricing for dinner buffet on weekends is $31. Because of the pricing and slight shrinking of variety, I have to deduct a star. However, the food (AND mango lassi) are still amazing quality so for that, I will keep them at 4 stars. Still the best indian buffet around the Richmond Hill/Markham area! read more

If you're here, have the buffet. The staff fill takeout orders from the buffet, so if you get the buffet, you're getting the same food anyway, just cheaper. Most of the dishes were decent & a few were good (butter chicken, mutton keema). Chicken curry was very thin though & one kebab was too salty (I have a high salt tolerance). At $27 for weekday dinner, this is good value, especially given the wide spread. You even get 5 desserts plus fruit & ice cream. read more

This has been a staple in the Markham area for a long while, known for cheap indian buffet. And with raising prices, the buffet had to increase theirs too. Although not as cheap as before, it still remains a good 'bang for the buck'. Lots of great choices to go for: Butter chicken, goat curry, butter planner, fried fish, tandoori chicken. Garlic naan was very good as well. Mango lassi was $$$ and rather not worth it especially for the taste. Side note, partner got sick after this meal, no one else in my party did so take it as you will. This done's not affect my rating tho. read more

Hits the spot when you're craving some good, simple Indian food with a variety to choose from. We come here for lunch AYCE and I'm always excited to get the garlic naan. It's unlimited garlic naan made fresh! Everything is fresh. It's so good! I absolutely love to come here and turns out many of my coworkers do too! It's a good price for all the different dishes you can get. And the service here is amazing. They are always patrolling the restaurant to get the empty plates away, fill up your water, and refill your naan basket. Sometimes they offer slightly different dishes. I haven't really caught onto the pattern just yet, but it would help if there were some type of schedule or menu. Can't wait to come back for our next fill of deliciousness! read more

It was 11 am on a Tuesday morning and looking around for an Indian restaurant, craving for some meat curry. Two Indian restaurants in the vicinity were closed and will not open until 11.30am or 11.45am. So, by the time they open, we will not be able to order until after noon time. Came across India's Taste on Denison Street, which was already opened with a few guests already seated at their table. Good location and plenty of free parking. It is an Indian buffet and the waitress gave us a choice of A La Carte. We opted for buffet as there was a great selection of dishes, all freshly made and well presented. Goat curry was meaty and delicious. There were no cut-corners on the amount of meat, including chicken dishes. Some of the dishes, like the lentil soup, were mildly spicy, but not overly hot. Dessert like gulab jamun has a nice bite to it as it is often too soft to the point of disintegrating in the hot sugary syrup. Ras Malaye is my other favourite dessert. Dining room was spacious, excellent service and volume of background music at a level where you can keep a nice conversation going. Will definitely come back again. read more

The reason I can only give this place 2 stars was the level of service, and the way they were completely unaccommodating to our party of 3 adults and one infant in a stroller. We arrived at the tail end of the lunch rush on a Tuesday - it was coming up on 1:30 PM, and while there were a good number of diners, there were also many empty tables. The hostess tried to seat us next to an already-occupied table. As our stroller would have been an obstacle to those customers, we asked to sit elsewhere. We were shown to another table near the buffet, where the server asked us to park our stroller where it would be in the way of anyone trying to make their way to the buffet. We eventually sat at a table next to a wall, but because of the stroller, I could barely fit my seat at the table. We pulled the table away from the wall slightly, so that the corner of the table wouldn't spear me in the ribs every time I leaned forward to take a bite of my food. In a huff, our server quickly came to push the table back towards the wall without a word. A whole to-do was made about our party of 4 not being allowed to take up more space than a four-top. Meanwhile, the restaurant was quick to seat a lone customer at the four-top right next to us, despite there being plenty of empty tables around. The lunch buffet was actually quite good as far as lunch buffets go - lots of variety. I enjoyed the curry lamb and goat dishes. Plenty of options for both vegetarians and meat lovers. Fresh warm naan brought to your table. However, among the misses were the butter chicken and the vegetarian samosas (the dough was a little too thick compared to the amount of filling). Anyway, with all the seating hubbub, the whole experience turned out to be a hectic and uncomfortable lunch. I don't plan on coming back. read more

India's Taste - Dessert from the lunch buffet - Indian Near Me - Markham, Ontario

I've been going to India's taste for some time now and their garlic naan has always been my favourite, it's unlimited and the wait staff generally passes by with a hot batch every so often when your basket is looking a little low. I used to be a frequent customer at this restaurant a few years ago and I loved everything about it. I returned a few days ago and while the food was still good, it seems as though it's lost a bit of its authenticity. While I appreciate the restaurant most likely did this to appeal to a wider variety of customers, I really missed the spice and cultural authenticity when I went a few years ago. read more

Yummy Indian food! Pani puri - so good! I could eat like 10 of these! Crispy hollow shells filled with potato mixture and some sour, sweet liquid... never had anything like this. They also have a bunch of different pakoras. The fish wasn't the best so you can probably skip that. They also had these deep fried potato balls - they were really good! The sausages and meat patties were also delish. They also have some Western style appetizers - salads and pasta salads. Paneer curry is really good here and so is the classic butter chicken! For dessert, they have fruits and Indian desserts like gulab jamun. There is also an orange-coloured dessert... definitely get one of those, it's really good and almond-y. Also the fresh naan here is the best! Be sure to ask for several rounds of these! To drink they have lassi which is freshly made. The mango flavour is amazingggg! Btw, you'll be surprised how quickly you get full even after just 2 plates of food. read more

FOOD: Their buffet doesn't offer a large selection of Indian food but the quality is decent. You really get what you paid for. It used to be $13.99 for lunch buffet which was a really good deal. And their naan is superb and freshly served to you at your table! I come here occasionally for lunch during the weekdays and is usually packed. ENVIRONMENT: Don't be fool by the exterior of the restaurant. It doesn't have the most glamourous and attracting exterior but the interior is clean and big enough to accommodate larger groups. SERVICE: Attentive staffs. They do regular water refills and naan refills. It could be slow at times during peak hours but overall pretty good service. read more

Decent all u can eat place - though the choices taste similar in the buffet- their ala carte menus dishes are better

Every time I eat Indian food I ask myself why don't I eat this every day? I love the flavour and it is so satisfying. Then after I overeat it, I ask myself, how do people eat this everyday? India's Taste really delivers if you are looking to scratch that spicy itch. For a buffet, the food is fresh, the service is attentive , and the place is clean. You will find a good variety of vegetarian and meat dishes plus there is a good salad section. The naan is served fresh as you ask for it. My only thing is the desserts. They are soooo sweet. I am not into sweets, and the dessert section here is crazy sweet. But their carrot dessert is amazing if you can handle the sweet. read more

India's Taste - What can I say but.....Awwww yeah! - Indian Near Me - Markham, Ontario

We really very much enjoyed this Markham Indian restaurant. We went for lunch on a Saturday, and there was a great selection. They had all the usual suspects. Such as: - Butter Chicken ( boneless) - Tandoori chicken - Goat Curry - Daal - Aloo Plus lots of different kinds of salads, rice, fish, lots of vegetarian choices, and they brought fresh man baked right on the tandoor. It was awesome. Loved the Naan bread. Service was nice and friendly and we ended up having Mango Lassi with it also Dessert was fresh fruit, ice pudding, ice cream, carrot pudding. and the cake balls in cardamom syrup. Food had a bit of bite to it but definitely suitable for western palates. It was pretty busy with families and couples alike. read more

Went on the Victoria Day holiday which is what made the price end up at about $25 per person. Quality of food was really good. For a buffet, there was a good variety for both vegetarians and non-veg people. A key factor is they bring fresh naan to your table! And when you finish it all, they'll just keep bringing more! Be sure to try the butter chicken, paneer, and the veggie pakora! Definitely my faves! Have been here many times and would definitely go back. read more

I came here because of the many positive reviews on Yelp! The restaurant is tucked away in an industrial area, and doesn't look like much from outside, but the inside is actually quite modern and comfortable. I went for the lunch buffet, and was quite impressed with the food! There was a good variety of chicken, lamb, and veggie curries. Most of the meat was tender, although some of the lamb could have been more tender. The curries were slightly spicy, and had a good mix of spices (but taste could have been stronger). For dessert, they actually have ras malai! I also discovered galja halwa (with the warm food section), which is now one of my favourite indian desserts! There's also lots of fruit for dessert, and salad as well. There were no soups, so maybe they could add some to the selection. Service was really attentive; they bring you pieces of fresh naan when they see you are running low! They also top up water quite quickly. For about $15 for lunch, the variety and quality is great for what you get! read more

This place is my go to Indian joint. It's all you can eat as well which makes it really attractive. And at $14 you can't lose. There is a wide variety of dishes from goat to chicken to veggie. All of their dishes are fresh and exciting. The butter chicken is really delicious and they are very generous with their meat. The best part is that you don't leave the restaurant feeling dehydrated and pasty. The food is clean and fresh. Great place! read more

FOOD: Food here is amazing. The spring rolls and other appetizers are so good here. This is a buffet style restaurant and has both non veg and vegetarian options. So many curry options for both and employees always being fresh naan. They have different food stations such as: salad bar, veg bar, non veg bar, dessert bar, naan and others. Food is hot and fresh. PLACE: Looks small from the outside but quite spacious inside! Don't judge the place by how it looks on the outside. STAFF: Friendly, helpful and nice. PRICE: $$ read more

It's good for family or group of friend but not for dating. read more

Located in a small plaza on Denison and Esan park you will find this gem. It can be hard to spot the restaurant because the exterior look exactly the same as the other commercial buildings beside it. This is one of my favourite India buffet spots. I came back to this buffet many times and each time it has been an amazing experience. I like that there is a large selection of apps, curries and bbq to choose from. On my last visit I noticed they added more desserts to an already decent size selection. The staff can be more tentative as during my last visit the waitress didn't bring us nan until we asked for it, but this is one off every other time they have. Overall, very friendly staff. read more

India's Taste - Indian Near Me - Markham, Ontario

India's Taste is a small AYCE buffet restaurant on Denison that is really hard to spot if you're just driving by. It may look old and "ghetto/sketchy" from the outside but inside is a nicely decorated venue. The buffet itself is really delicious! The only problem here, is that there isn't too much variety. You can make your own chaat which I highly recommend, (google it or ask a server if you're not familiar!) They have the basics like panner, butter chicken, fish pakoras, veg and non-veg thali and daal, but don't have a lot of the specialty dishes that you'd find at higher end buffets (aka ones in Brampton). However, for the price ($15 for lunch) it is definitely worth it. You'll be full and will leave satisfied. Service can be a little lack lustre at times. We would often be waiting 5-10 minutes for a waiter to bring us more naan. There were 6 of us so you could imagine how quickly a basket of 6 naan would finish up haha. Overall service was not bad though and I give them a solid 3.5. read more

Buffet and tables set up was spacious and very clean atmostphere. I am of Indian decent and this food is top of the line for me, loved the goat curry, butter chicken, chicken curry, mince meat curry (keema), rapini saag, dalh, pakora and more dishes to choose from! Plus lovely desserts all fresh and abundant. My hats off to the Chef and Manager. Quite a welcoming atmosphere! Staff were all very friendly and accommodating, don't read the other reviews. We will be back. Thank you. read more

This is probably my favourite place for ayce Indian food. I would highly recommend visiting on a weekday for lunch (cheapest time) with an empty stomach cause it is WORTH IT. Get the butter chicken with some of their freshly in-house made naan. It's like lying on a cloud in heaven, it so good. Their tandoori chicken is delicious as well- not too dry and it'll just fall off the bone. Don't forget to also try their Indian sweets. Rasmalali, my favourite, is creamy with a hint of a pistachio flavour. They have some other delicacies behind the counter for purchase of well. read more

We came in for a weekend Indian buffet lunch and came away happy. They have a large selection of food and everything is helpfully labeled. There are a wide varieties of curries, a vindaloo dish, saag, butter chicken, shahi paneer and a variety of fried items (eg. fish pakora), you can even get paneer separately. I enjoyed all the food and felt that it was worth it. The dessert selection has a number of ice creams, a fruit platter (the pineapple were sweet when we went), as well as desserts named 'rice pudding' (I think one is ras malai, but their might be 4 different kinds). Na'an and water top-ups are frequently brought to your table. They take credit card. Compared to Chauhan's nearby, there's a bigger selection, but at a higher weekend lunch buffet price. The restaurant is clean and a large window allows you to peek into their kitchen as well. It doesn't look like much from the outside, but the inside feels recently renovated. It's of course cheaper on weekdays than it is on weekends. read more

This place has a buffet, the food is average at best. The flavors are okay if you are hungry but definitely not worth the money! The service was not the best. They bring the naan to the table but w you have to keep asking for it. By the time the naan arrived we already finished our food. We were hungry and this place was the closest. Would not come back. The dinner buffet on a Monday is $18.99, way too pricey for the food that they offer! We got there by about 6:30 and the place was empty, which should have told us something. read more

I've been to many AYCE indian buffets including Kama, Dhaba, The Indian Cuisine, etc. but this is my favorite. They have many different meat curries, butter chicken, and non stop freshly made pipping hot naans that come out as soon as you are done what is on your table. Only bad point is the ice cream was frost bitten, but dont think any one comes here for that when there is the godly gulab jamun. read more

I'm not the type how leaves 1-start reviews for restaurants, but when you have a negative experience, it's worth sharing it with others. This is an all you can eat buffet, but I decided to order from the menu. I ordered Palak Paneer and Garlic Naan. The Naan was freshly made, tasty, but kind of small. The Palak Paneer was quite spicy, and tasted pretty bad. It was one of worst Palak Panners I've ever tried to be honest. It was watery, while the cottage cheese had a weird texture to it. I ate a little bit of palak paneer and realized that I wasn't enjoying the taste at all + it was too spicy for me and the server never asked me if I wanted it mild, medium or spicy. I knew I had to voice my dissatisfaction with the food to see what happens. Once I communicated my dissatisfaction with the food to the manager, they offered to take it back to the kitchen and make it non-spicy. I said that it would not make a difference to me, because I didn't like the food. The manager refused to take the food back to the kitchen and said that either I leave it or take it home, he'll still charge me, because everyone's tastes are different and if everybody did the same....well, you get the point. Fine, it's his choice, but he can be rest assured that I'm **NEVER** coming back to that restaurant. Here's how he could have handled the situation instead: "I understand there's something wrong with the food. No worries, would you like to have any other dish instead? No? Ok, don't worry about it. We'll take care of it." Alas, the manager decided that $11 was worth more than a happy customer who could come back in the future and bring more business. Instead, he earned an unhappy customer who's ready to broadcast his experience to his prospective patrons. read more

Today I went to Indias Taste in Markham at 3PM . I was greeted by a snob who seemed to either be a manager or maybe owner or relative of owner. Long story short, he had quiet an attitude and was very rude in his behavior. There is a promotion going on wherein couple of dishes if ordered till3PM are available at discounted price and as I mentioned I reached just about 3PM and asked if can be served, he curtly said no as instead of politely declining. The point is if he wanted he could have billed me too at promotional rate , but not only did he say no he said it very curtly. Anyways after that I oredered 5 samosas for take away and asked the staff to put some additional chutney. One of the staff did put one small portion extra and handed over the packet to me. This person asked his staff to take it back as she handed without his permission and without charging extra . Gosh he is cheeky & shumuck. Never going back to this branch read more

This is our go to Indian buffet restaurant in the Markham area. Located near the intersection of Woodbine and Denison, it's one of the few Indian buffets that's still around in the area and there's a reason why it has survived... Value. Friday weekend night dinner prices are $16/person, kids about $9 for kids 6-9 and $6 for kids 2-5. There's a variety of both vegetarian and non-vegetarian options for all types of tastes. Because the place is usually packed food turnover is excellent and fresh. Freshly made naan is served table side and goes well with all the delicious butter chicken, curry beef, paneer, goat curry, etc... The fish pakoras are excellent along with the gajar halwa (carrot based desserts) but ultimately take your time and eat slowly or you'll regret it:) Everytime we go, I have to loosen my belt holes a few notches afterwards, so be warned! Service is courteous and you pay at the front when you are done. They also have take out of Indian sweets that you can take home. read more

Indian dinner buffet for $12.99 per person?! What a deal! India's Taste is located in a sketchy plaza, which I'd be hesitant to enter if not for our friends' recommendation. The interior of the restaurant is small, hence the crowd lining up by the door. We waited a good 30-minutes before we were seated. During this wait time, I noticed many customers walking in to buy sweets for take-out. There are so many types of sweets, I don't even know which one I'd order. The staff behind the counter explained that they're mostly made of syrup and corn starch/flour, although they're different colors. The buffet itself did not have much options, but I was stuffed by the second plate. This never happens to me, but Indian food can really fill you up! The vegetarian dishes were Meh, but I loved all of their lamb curry dishes. The butter chicken was too watery, but the chicken was nice and tender. Naan bread is brought to your table by the server, and they constantly refill it! Service was attentive - when we were done with our plates, they were collected almost immediately. The servers may not be all-smiles, but they worked efficiently given that this is a $12.99 buffet. Sad to say, I had no room for dessert, but I will come back next time a little more hungry! read more

I came here on a Saturday night for their buffet ($13.99). They have a decent selection of food with an especially large variety of goat dishes. What I particularly love about this buffet compared to other places is that they have a waiter who brings fresh naan to your table. Also, there's is constantly a waiter or a waitress passing by in case you need anything. The service here is a A+. I highly recommend this restaurant and I'll be coming back here soon! read more

I love that this place has buffet all the time, why need to change to a la carte at night time? Who doesn't love Indian buffet. This place is clean, really clean, there's ample parking, great service! The quality of the food is a bit inconsistent, I must admit. I've been here a few times. But overall there's a good variety of food here. I like that they have Caesar salad here for those of us who don't like the other types of cold vegetables. The veggies and fruits are pretty fresh. I like the butter chicken and goat curry. They had this potato with spinach dish that was pretty good. Sometimes the rice gets dried up but if you go during the rush it's usually okay. They have different dishes everytime I come. This time they had French fries. Although the French fries got cold I attempted to concoct my own butter chicken fries and it was not too bad, I thought. They also have samosas here but I find it too doughy and never fresh. However, someone does come around to bring you fresh naan, although I found the naan a bit too oily. Things were not clearly labelled so I didn't know what some of the things were so I tried some of everything. That's the beauty of buffets right? I had a meat sauce looking curry with peas, it was not bad. Some yellow curry with fried fish fillet. It was really lemony and sour, not to my liking. I also tried various vegetarian dishes with cauliflower and broccoli. They all taste similar to me. I'm not a fan of the curry chicken so much, I guess just cause it's not as smooth and creamy as the butter chicken. It doesn't sit as well in my stomach. They have a good variety of fruits, watermelon, cantaloupe, pineapples, and red grapes. For dessert I always have the orange paste with the Indian honey timbit. Today they also served a neon orange pretzel! (Sorry, I don't know what anything is called but if you were there you'll know what I'm talking about!) The Orange paste is simply divine, I really like it. It's really sweet in a not so sweet way. The texture is great and mixed with some almond slivers and raisins is the perfect combination. This is a great place and in my standards super clean! There's great service and you can sit comfortably. The consistency of the food can improve a bit. There's also a myriad of sweets in the front display counter that I'm dying to try! read more
