Taste East is a South Asian/Middle Eastern food shop with a takeout counter for prepared food. I mostly go there to buy spices and other ingredients to make my own food at home. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff, and they have some ingredients that aren't otherwise readily available in St. John's. If you're looking for something that's not in stock they will try to get it for you. Only place in town where I can get asafoetida.
As a vegetarian, the only thing I've tried from the takeout is chana masala. Tasty, but I like mine a little more zippy on the spice mixture. read more
