The restaurant, Taste of India, is located at Jay Brothers Truck Stop just off I-80 near Overton, NE. We actually arrived about 2 1/2 hours later than we planned due to a major problem that closed a ten mile stretch of I-80 and all of the detours were swamped. There is something intriguing about an Indian Truck Stop especially since my dad was a truck driver. I doubt that he ever experienced an Indian Truck Stop, Native American or Asian Indian. After a quick look at the menu, I ordered Chicken Vindaloo and my wife ordered Saag Paneer along with Basmati Rice and Garlic Naan (rice and bread are ordered separately). We also split a Mango Lassi. After a short wait, our orders came out and we could finally start eating. The Basmati Rice was fluffy and worked really well with our entrées. The Chicken Vindaloo was delicious and spicy but my mouth recovered after a while. The Saag Paneer was likewise very good. But the Garlic Naan was the absolute bomb!! I could have made a complete meal out of just that! It is a surprising find this far from a major city. read more

Gas pump screens are burned out, several don't allow pay at pump. Dirty pump service area.

The service terrible and food quantity is small. Also they have been there for several years but have nothing to improve a rundown dining hall. We ordered and asked that we get our hot tea FIRST. Our tea arrived after we had finished our meal and were paying for the meal. There was no offer to not charge us for the screw up. While they charge full prices for the entries, they give very small portions. We also ordered tandoori chicken to go. When I opened the container the next day, the chicken was hard and looked like it had been microwaved a few time. It was definitely not freshly cooked when it was sold to us. Will never go there again! Atlanta DJ read more

Jay Bros Truck Stop - WALMART NANNS - Rest Stops Near Me - Overton, Nebraska

I'm sure the reviews are well-intended, and owners committed to their heritage and food, but even as a die-hard diner fan-boy, this was a place I couldn't imagine myself eating a meal. Let's start with some first impressions: 12 cats sit outside the kitchen door in the parking lot. Yes, 12 feral cats. The parking lot has 10" deep potholes in the concrete, on the "car" side (this is more expected in truck parking areas.) The entrance sign is held up by a non-functioning washing machine. The glass entrance doors cannot be seen through due to hand grime. The men's bathroom has likely not been touched in a week for cleaning (think horror movie dirty) , and cameras/security sensors parade them in addition to the watchful eyes of the untrusting owner. Truck stops aren't known for being immaculate, but the door open to the kitchen gave the final view into blatant carelessness for health safety. I recommend you view yelp's "not recommended" reviews, as there are some more honest reviews of the grime. Seating was in disarray, the smell of the korma was nice, but Indian dishes contain such a vast array of spices it wouldn't be easy to tell what lurked beneath. I wanted to give it a shot, but even the little cheap things like not having receipts at pumps supported some tough stereotypes. +1 star for convenient location, cheap-ish gas prices and a dirty water bucket to clean my windows. I guess it would have been cheaper to supply nothing for window cleaning, and they considered that. read more

A great stop on our cross country drive. The place was clean and the food was fresh and hot. Enjoyed the samosas and garlic naan and just one entree today. We typically over order at Indian restaurants so we shared the entree and it was a great lunch option. Great service and staff. read more

Plus is to get decent Indian food in Nebraska at a gas station. It's a bit on the pricy side but they seem to make it fresh to order. The drawback of them making the food to order is time. Took my order about 15 minutes. There was no seating outside so be ready to eat in your car. The naan is not naan. There is no fluff to the naan. Seems it was deep fried instead read more

A great family place! I always stop here when passing through I-80! Food is fresh & delicious! I love their dinners, desserts & homemade beverages like their exotic chai tea & mango lassi's! Family owned. Very nice people! Give them a try & you'll be very glad that you did! read more

If you are in a rush to get back on the road, this place is not for you. Looks like everything is cooked from scratch , so it takes a while to get your order. In our case, we waited over an hour for a group of 6. About the food, very good food, great presentation. We tried several chicken dishes and all of them were good. About the locale, be prepared for a sketchy and run down place. It is old and really needs a good cleaning... funny to me was to see a fly trap hanging off the ceiling, in the middle of the place. Would I eat there again? Sure...if I am in no hurry to get somewhere... read more

This is a funky family gas stop, store, and restaurant. I had the chicken curry, med. + on the heat, with basmati rice and a sweet hot tea. The food is excellent. Perfect heat, very fresh, and filling. The proprietor is as sweet as the tea! While the setting is oddly fast food and gas stop mini-mart, with a haphazard together dining area, don't be fooled, as the truckers know, this place is hot! If I ever come this way again, I'll stop here for sure. Great alternative to all the taquerias in the area too. read more

Driving back to Michigan from Wyoming, we noticed the sign 30 miles out, and decided to give it a try. Glad we did, every dish we ordered for our group of 7 was delicious. Shahi paneer, and malai kofta was amazing, and the mutter paneer was like home made. The Parathas were also good, good size Parathas, couple of us ordered the chicken tikka and karahi chicken and both was amazing. If I am ever driving through here again, I'll definitely eat here again. Food was simply delicious!!! Oh and the Ginger Tea....nuf said!! read more

Walk in prepared that the place is a bit run down and sketchy- the food that is served in the back of the truck stop is delicious. Really delicious. IMO the food could be served in a nice restaurant for more money. We ordered chicken korma and chicken mango, rice, and naan. I ate every last bite I could scrape up. read more

Jay Bros Truck Stop - Chicken Korma - Rest Stops Near Me - Overton, Nebraska

One of the grossest places I have ever been in!!!!!!!!!! Even if they had the best food in the world, I still wouldn't eat there!!!!!!! Just dirty everwhere, run down, and the smell was just horrible. A smell so strong that followed me back to my car and stayed around for over an hour. Or till I got used to it! !!!!!!! A smell so gross it made me nauseous for the rest of my drive back to Denver!!!!!!!!!! read more

We stumbled upon this unusual spot on a previous trip, when we were looking for snacks. We'd already eaten, sadly - because it smelled incredible. I got a mango lassi for the car, and we promised ourselves the next time we made the trip from Colorado to Iowa we would eat a proper meal here. We just finished doing that, and it was amazing! The chicken tikka was good.. and the saag was fantastic.. not super creamy like at a restaurant (which I like but always feel vaguely guilty about). Everything tastes homemade and fresh, and perfectly spiced. The garlic naan was so so good. And I have the rest of my mango lassi with me in a to-go cup because it was huge - and too delicious not to finish! This place is a unique gem off I-80 in Nebraska (Overton exit), WELL worth planning your meal stops around. The service was so sweet and personal, it feels more like a family restaurant than a truck stop! But, hey, it is a truck stop so you can conveniently fill up after you eat. The only thing is, they don't have an ATM... they of course take credit cards, but plan to have a little cash on hand for a tip. The gift shop is really fun to poke around in, too, while you're waiting for your food. Can't wait to come back! read more

Came across this place by accident, and boy, what a gem! It's a strange-smelling, endearingly kitschy and run down combination gas station/ convenience store/ souvenir shop/ dollar store/ Indian food restaurant. Of course I came in for the food, but I thoroughly enjoyed looking through the wide selection of seemingly unrelated merchandise in the store while I waited for my meal to be made (Santería soaps? Christmas decorations? Boas? Advil? Postcards?). While finding an Indian place in this part of Nebraska is a treat in and of itself, I wasn't expecting much out of the food, other than the sheer novelty of it. However, I was completely and pleasantly surprised by the complex homemade taste of the chole I ordered. My mom got the chicken samosas and thoroughly enjoyed them as well. I would skip on the naan, however. My garlic naan came out looking like warmed flatbread with canned garlic sprinkled on top. I'm giving this 5 stars, though, for the great tasting main courses served in a funky environment in this otherwise pretty lonesome (and white) corner of Nebraska. Very friendly staff, too! read more

Found this while driving through Nebraska on I80 highway. There was an unusual ad board that said "Punjabi Dhaba". We gave it a try and glad we did. The food was delicious. It was fresh, aromatic and authentic. Best mattar paneer I ever had. Packed chicken for the ride home. Pretty much licked my fingers. Would definitely go there if and when I get a chance. #I80Exit248NebraskaTasteOfIndiaJayBros read more

Jay Bros Truck Stop - Picture of chicken tikka, karahi chicken and mattar paneer. - Rest Stops Near Me - Overton, Nebraska

Excellent Punjab region Indian food and extremely accommodating with vegan modifications! It is worth the stop right on I-80 in Overton, Nebraska. Very price competitive, you would pay much more in a larger location. We stopped for diesel and the loo. It is not somewhere that beckons visually, however you know that you've hit a jackpot when you open the door and the smell wafts out. The service was attentive and friendly, the chef came out to make sure our food was good, and there was nothing wanting. The chef makes it fresh, so relax and enjoy being out of the car. Servings were generous (more for lunch tomorrow ) and perfectly spiced. We were intrigued by the garlic chili naan, which was very flavorful. We also tried the Chana Masala, Bengal Bhartha, and Aloo Matar. They were all excellent. What an unexpected and welcome surprise! Add this one to you trip planner, especially for those in search of plant-based fare. read more

Ok, don't let the truck stop fool you. From the outside it does look a little rough. Once you get past the exterior and walk inside the smells are AMAZING. The inside could use some updating but, your there to eat not critique the interior. Now to the food. I had the chicken korma and my wife had the mango chicken. We also got a side of rice and garlic naan bread. All was amazing. The chicken korma was spicy but not over powering, just great flavor. Wife's meal was also full of flavor but very little spice. The garlic naan is top notch. The rice was rice. We also got Samosas which is a potato and pea mixture deep fried. This is spicy. The food and service are very good. Just don't be in a hurry. Relax and enjoy the food. read more

We stumbled upon this after a gruesome and quite adventurous winter road trip on our way back from Vegas to Omaha. We got food literally as close to what we would get in India at a "dhaba". The chef made everything fresh including dough for the bread. Everything had a secret ingredient which made us more hungry. The sweet couple who own the place were really hospitable and caring. They made sure we we were comfortable and satisfied. A MUST GO!!! read more

Take my words seriously when I say, THE. BEST. CHICKEN. TIKKA. MASALA. I've ever had!! I am a self proclaimed chicken tikka connoisseur, and this one gives my favorite Indian restaurant in Vegas a run for their money! Garlic naan is amazing, malai kofta, everything here is done right! Don't forget to grab a chai tea also, you will never be disappointed by the food here. It's located in the back of a gas station/ truck stop, but don't let that fool you! Authentic Indian food cooked to perfection is what you will find here! read more

We stopped here completely by accident when we abruptly decided we were hungry and saw an Indian Food sign in the middle of what felt like nowhere. We didn't know what to expect from a truck stop restaurant, but oh my goodness. First of all, the people who work there are absolutely the nicest! Super sweet and gracious, answered all our questions (we're two vegans, one gluten free, and a vegetarian, so we had a lot of questions and they were really chill about all of them), and even helped us figure out what the movie playing on TV was! Halfway through the meal the chef came out to check on us and see if everything was okay! And then... the food. Everything was DELICIOUS. Everything looked fresh from scratch with gorgeous veggies and incredibly savory sauces and plenty of spice. If you go, PLEASE do yourself a favor and have the samosas!! Deliciously crispy, whole peppercorns and perfectly tender potatoes and seriously the best flavor ever. Every dish was super different and absolutely decadent, hearty servings, really reasonably priced (all the main dishes we had were under ten bucks and the samosas were under three dollars). This place is seriously worth the trip to check it out! Great food, lovely people, pretty view out the windows over the plains the big sky. Enjoy!! read more

Such a surprise. From the outside there is no indication that this dumpy truck-stop is hiding a true gem: fantastic cheap Indian food. It is fresh and spicy and not too greasy and wonderful. read more

This place was filthy. The pump didn't work and the not-so-helpful attendant said the pump was not working - drive to another pump. An out-of-service sign would have been helpful. Avoid this trap. read more

Great vegetarian food options (the owners are vegetarian--there are plenty of non-vegetarian options as well). Great background information about the restaurant in the Kearney Hub and Omaha World Herald (two Nebraska newspapers). Support these fine people and eat their delicious food offerings! read more

Great stop for Indian Cuisines! If you are on I-80 and craving for some good Indian food, this is your ONLY stop. Seriously! The nearest Indian restaurant to its left is Denver (5 hours) and right is Lincoln (3 hours). I loved their Tandoor Roti - entirely of wheat flour, fresh out of the oven with a dash of ghee (Indian butter) - exactly the way you find in India. The non-vegetarian dishes are just about fine (tried the Chicken Tikka Masala) but the vegetarian dishes are what they specialize in. Try the lentil dishes - Dal-Makhni, Tadka daal - the Julienne-cut ginger in the dishes is a signature north-Indian style that's very rare to find in the Midwest. This is as best as it gets here. read more

A diamond in the middle of Nebraska. From the looks of the exterior, expectations are low. But we took the advice of previous yelpers, and took the plunge. This Indian food ranks among the great Indian restaurants as far away as London or California. The staff is more than friendly, attentive, and overall good people. The chef came out to check on us and make sure our food met our expectations. We had chicken vindaloo as the main dish. We supplanted that with veggie samosas which were so good. And we also tried the garlic naan. My fiancé says the garlic naan was outstanding. I did not partake. But the chicken vindaloo was excellent. If you are on highway 80 through Nebraska, make a point of stopping. Exit 248. read more

This place is pretty much in the middle of nowhere and serves the best North Indian food. The malai kofta was creamy and delicious. The rotis were soft and fresh. If you happen to pass by this place, do visit and taste their Lassi as well. read more

Jackpot in middle of no where .. try their chicken seekh kabab if they have it on the day. Good indian food !

Considering they are located in a truck stop, the food is delicious! I've been here several times, and haven't had a sub-par meal, nor a bad experience. read more

Bathrooms are awful, smells horrible. Stopped to eat because of other reviews but didn't even dare sit down because it was in such grimy, unkempt condition. read more

Pulled off the interstate because I needed something to eat. Just hoped that the cafe offered something other than convenience store burritos. Wow, did they! The aunties in the kitchen prepared some of the best Indian food I've ever had. It was made even more special by the surprise of discovering first class Indian food in an anonymous truck stop diner. I don't think it would be a destination restaurant for me (i.e., don't drive from Seattle specifically to eat there) but it's worth planning into your meal schedule if traveling I-80 or US 30 across Nebraska. If you're worried about Indian food being spicy, order the butter chicken. read more

Not sure about the food here but the bathrooms are TERRIBLE! It doesn't look like the floor has ever been cleaned. I would not eat anything that was made in this establishment. read more

I've been traveling from western to eastern Nebraska and back many times the last few months, and the "Indian Food" tacked onto the Jay Bros Truck Stop sign always caught my eye. The place is just off I-80 and is the only business at exit 248. It looks unimpressive on the outside, and the fuel pumps and parking lot were deserted at 4 pm when I stopped. I didn't have high hopes. But the interior was nice and the staff, all Indian, was personable and friendly, asking where I was from, and upon request, explained their gluten-free choices for me. I ordered chicken curry and basmatic rice. It seemed to take a while to get my food, but I surmise that was because they were cooking it up from scratch, because I was hearing and smelling good things from the kitchen while I waited. The waitress asked if I wanted my curry mild or spicy. The curry was wonderful and the medium spice I asked for was just right and very flavorable. I took the leftover curry sauce and rice home, and added some more chicken for a wonderful leftover. I don't know of any other place to get Indian food in Nebraska west of Lincoln, so discovering this place was a real treat for me. I definitely will be stopping again. Might try the goat curry next time. They have lunch specials from 11-4 pm too. read more

This is a little spot you should try! We had 3 chicken dishes, curry, mango, and one with onion and potatoes. All 3 were great! Good flavor. The mango is a sweet dish my daughter (8) had mild. It was good! I think next time we will try it hot. We also ordered garlic chilli naan and butter naan. So good! Only thing I would say is order rice. It doesn't come with it. And for that reason it seems a bit expensive but not too bad. We've already decided we are going back! read more

I know Nebraska isn't known for Indian food, but if you find yourself crossing this paradise, you may want to stop by and fill up on some authentic food that spanks the other I-80 options. The garlic Naan is a must with whatever you choose. read more

The place looked deserted, and I wasn't sure it was even open. But, like previous reviewers have stated, as soon as I opened the door, I could tell it was going to be good. I've had Indian food in a lot of places, and this ranks right up there with the best. Spiced to your taste. My husband and I went with medium heat and were glad we didn't ask for hot. We will definitely stop here again on our way home to Colorado read more

This place offered the worst customer service I've ever received. They weren't friendly at the counter, mocked my boyfriend in front of a line of people and the bathrooms were filthy. Did not feel safe here at all read more

Dont go here if you want mild. I ordered my dishes super mild but both dishes were too spicy to eat. It looked good and one bite tasted good. But the spicyness made it impossible to eat any more. read more

Great food in the middle of nowhere! Good place to stop when you are on a road trip.
