I don't often leave reviews, but damn, I absolutely had to for this place. I've had the buffet at lunch, but I have to say, ordering off the menu is the way to go. The butter chicken with Garlic Naan just hits the spot every time. I look forward to every single time I come here. I hope this place stays busy so it will stick around - it's THAT good! read more

If it were possible to give less than 1 star or even a negative star I would. This restaurant is not even close to what it was prior to the current ownership 3 or so years ago. We told the server that I was allergic to fresh cilantro as soon as we sat down on. We ordered the samosa chaat appetizer and asked for it very mild. It was so hot my wife couldn't eat it. It had come with a cilantro garnish which we sent back. I feel like the kitchen just picked off the cilantro. We told our server who insisted that if we had some yogurt it would tame the spiciness. It did not. The lentil soup was watery and had no body and little flavor. Salt didn't improve it. I ordered the tandoori mixed grill was equally horrible. It was do overcooked and bone dry - completely inedible. In fact I couldn't eat more than a few bites. My wife ordered chicken tikka masala. The server asked her what spice level she liked - mild, medium or hot. She responded with extremely mild. When it was served it was anything but mild. She had them take it back and when it came back it was just as inedible. We both left hungry and disappointed. Don't waste your time and money. read more

Wow can't believe I haven't reviewed yet I've been there once at open Sunday at 11am for their buffet and it side not disappoint! I loved their fresh naan, I ordered their mango lassi, they have all the classic chicken tikka, curry, salad, fish? Apollo which was a surprise for me, and all the chutneys!! I can't wait to go back. The lady was very friendly and made sure to replenish the naan that went out like hotcakes so she made sure to bring extras to the tables that didn't get them on the line. The interior looked very nice and well kept. Great place for a nice lunch/dinner. But I highly recommend the buffet from 11-3pm daily read more

We love it here! We originally wanted to come for Eid this year but weren't able to make it on that day. Instead we came in on a Sunday for their brunch buffet and were happy for it. All of the spices and flavor were present and the service was great. This tastes just like our go-to places back in our home state. My kid always orders mango lassi for his drink but he loved theirs so much he had to have 2! We can't wait be back again! read more

We were pretty sad when this place got messed up from the tornado last year. So I'm very happy that they are back and still serve amazing food. Can't say I've ever had any issues with the service here. Weather when we dined in or ordered out, it's always been a 10. Haven't been back to check out the interior since the storm. But making plans for the near future! read more

10 years ago, I arrived in Killeen. At the time, there was an all you can eat Indian buffet that had all the flavors and all the textures I needed, but all of a sudden they weren't there. For the next 9 years, I have been on a quest to find the replacement. I've travelled from Waco to Austin and couldn't quite find 'it.' I am happy to say, that at last, I had found the place that has not only met my standard, but exceeded it. The only problem I had at first is that it took 30 minutes to drive...well worth the trip. We found an all you can eat Indian buffet in the Austin area, however they used inferior spices, therefore it was not worth the trip. Taz on the other hand, spares no expense. In one dish in particular I noted that not only was it fresh and delicious, but it utilized saffron, which is the world's most expensive spice.10/10 for quality. 10/10 for taste. 10/10 for service. read more

Great food, from the subtle smell of spices as you walk in, I could tell the food would be great. Nice ambiance and staff. Great selection for vegetarians and non vegetarians alike. We will come back. read more

Absolutely delicious... each dish had a unique flavor... so yummy!!! Will be going back again'nn

Let those robust flavors trigger our noses and make them drip! When it comes to Indian cuisine, we probably expect nothing less. This place does just that! I haven't had really tasty Indian food since living in Fremont, CA. It's great to find one in this growing town of Temple, TX. I promised I'd write this review after tasting their Lamb Biryani. I'm confirming that it's SO GOOD, I'd totally have it again! What I love about dishes like that is everything is in one satisfying meal with an easy clean up after eating. I've dined inside before with some family. They have a great wine wall with good selections. Their anbience is warm with pops of shimmer and color from their decorations. Service was very pleasant and attentive. Thank you for going above and beyond! Sure to return and taste other menu specialties. I'll have to ask if they serve falooda (rose) ice cream next time. read more

Service and food is fantastic. Great value. It is.very flavorful and many healthy options

One of the best meals I've had in a while. Will definitely be back. Butter chicken, garlic naan and chicken.

Man oh man......let me start off by saying customer service 10 ! But other than that.....this has probably got to be the most mediocre Indian cuisine I've ever had. This is my second time coming to this place since moving to temple. I ordered the tikka masala entree while my wife ordered the butter chicken entree spicy . The portion of the masala and butter chicken were good but i guess since we ordered two entrees with rice, they found it necessary to combine both entrees rice' in one container. Which i don't really care since it was with my wife but not everyone wants that, and would prefer food separated for each entree. The second and most diabolical thing i witnessed today was the old ASS NAAN IM ALREADY PAYING $6 for the garlic naan now i have to wrestle that mf just to bite it off? No sir/maam, UNACCEPTABLE. As for the entrees , the tikka masala was OK at most just lacked flaaaaavor....and seasoning.... I myself am not a butter chicken person but i must say that was probably the best thing ordered today , it was flavorful had a bit of a kick and was hefty in portion. The environment on the inside is dark and quiet , nothing special... just a more "elegant" vibe. All in all I'd give this place a 3/5 today 3.5/5 on a good day read more

Today, my mother had suggested this place after going with my father once and my brother and I loved it! WOW.!! The buffet was great and a wonderful variety of traditional Indian cuisines/ dishes (tandoori chicken to chicken Tikka, etc.) Outstanding customer service and attention to detail (Probably the BEST I've had in years at any restaurant). My family was very impressed and really, really enjoyed going there and will definitely be back! A++++++ Really Beautiful looking restaurant.!! Thank You again, read more

We had phenomenal food from Taz for a large group dinner. We had vegetable biryani, vegetable samosa, butter chicken, onion pakora, and naan for food. For sauces, we had tamarind, green, tomato, and coconut chutney. I loved the veg biryani + butter chicken combo, and the naan was fragrant. The food was spicy but at a very tolerable level. read more

Taz Indian Cuisine - Naan, vegetable biryani, onion pakora, vegetable samosa, butter chicken - Indian Near Me - Temple, Texas

We got there at 5 pm as they opened. There was no wait. The service was immediate and excellent. They were helpful describing all the dishes. The menu is huge. It is clearly divided into vegetarian and non-vegetarian options. The booths are excellent, we prefer them to the tables. The garlic naan was excellent. The pani poori was amazing. Ask them to describe it for you. The vegetable fried rice was better than you get at a thai restaurant. We also got the mushroom curry and it was slightly sweet. It is my new favorite curry. This restaurant is recommended! Well done. read more

So pleased that Taz is back after the tornado. I've been meaning to try them for a while now, finally got the chance and it did not disappoint. The place is warm and inviting and the food is top-notch! I had chicken vindaloo, rice, and an order of naan, all washed down with a pint bottle of Flying Horse lager. The vindaloo had the right level of heat and spice, the chicken was tender and potatoes were nicely done. The naan was hot and had just the right mix of tender and chewy. Service was prompt and attentive while everything was reasonably priced. They also have a lunch buffet that I can't wait to try. Excellent choice for a good Indian meal in west Temple I'll definitely be back. Thanks! read more

Wonderful atmosphere and great service. Tried something new today and enjoyed every bite. Will definitely return when I am in town. read more

Sooo good!! Great service, amazing recommendations & so informative when presenting our food!

This place is really cute. Comfy and nice vibes. The food was absolutely delicious. I went for lunch buffet. It was so good I placed an order to go. The service was cool. They let you eat and enjoy without coming to the table every five minutes. Well, at least w me. Everyone else seemed to get checked on more often lol. But I will return read more

Super clean. Regional Indian dishes presented as How Indians prepare them at home. Excellent buffet. Will go back over and over again.

The atmosphere was clean and nice, maybe a bit too dark. The samosas were good. The tamarind chutney was very watery consistency. The garlic naan was very good. My husband got chicken kadai and I got their equivalent of dal tadka. We both asked for spicy. Mine was extremely bland in all ways lacking spices and salt. Heavy jalapeño taste, but not very spicy. It was definitely missing the traditional spices for that dish. The chicken kadai was not the greatest. Chicken was dry and the flavor wasn't as good as it could be. It wasn't "bad" just not great. Servers were kind. There's not a good Indian place in Temple/Belton, so if this place could fix the food flavors, it would be good. The location and atmosphere is good. We're on the fence about returning. read more

Sooooo delicious, fresh, flavorful and great service! Did dine in the first visit and take out the next. Both have been excellent.

This was the only one Indian restaurant that was open after 9pm in Temple area. It's a few miles away from I-35. Also part of a shopping strip. We found a parking right in front of the restaurant itself. They do have a large dining space with very simple interiors. Very casual ambiance. We were seated towards the middle of the dining area. They offer both South and North Indian food - appetizers, soups & salads, entrees, dosas, biriyanis, tandoori items, thali (just for lunch), Indo-chinese etc. We ordered the veg fried rice and onion dosa - medium spice level. The food took around 10 minutes.Staffs were nice, friendly and helpful. They served the fried rice with raita and dosa with couple of chutneys & sambar. I came across the fried rice with raita combo for the very first time. When asked, the staff mentioned they always serve that way. The fried rice was decent - not spicy at all. Raita wasn't a great combo at all. The Onion dosa was a disaster. The onion was not completely cooked and had no absolute flavor to it. Didn't like it at all. The service is really good. But not really happy with the food, especially for the money we paid. Read some good reviews about this place. confused about what happened to our food then! read more

Very good food and quick service (right at opening time, only one or two other tables). The food selection was huge and the food/drinks were delicious. Ample vegetarian/pescatarian options. We both tried a sampler type plate, with 4 or so small samples of the dishes. The samples are very small, so wouldn't recommend this if you are ravenous, but it was good for indecisive people like us. Beautifully decorated and staff were courteous. Would definitely recommend. read more

Great place to get indian food. Interior was nice and clean, though a bit dark. The servers and owner took care of us well. We tried the sampler, which is a good dish is you are indecisive and want to try a little bit of each. The dosa is also good. read more

Just tried this restaurant for lunch. We'd been looking for some good Indian food in the Belton/Temple area and we certainly found it! They had a lunch buffet which happened to have a lot of our favorites so we opted for that. Everything was DELICIOUS! The naan bread and onion kulcha was excellent, soft and warm. The chicken tikka masala was mouth watering as well as the chicken kurma. The spinach rice was so yummy. The mango custard with fruit was amazing! The service was absolutely excellent. Definitely coming back! read more

Definitely a place we will be revisiting often! The food was wonderful, spicy, but not so spicy I cried lava, authentic, delicious, and oh so tasty! The restaurant is in a strip center, but when you walk through the doors, it doesn't feel like it and the decorations are simple but cute. There's plenty of space and tables for the size of restaurant it is. The servers were friendly and helpful. When our food came out, they made sure to explain what all the sauces and items were in our plates. This is definitely my new favorite Indian restaurant in the Central Texas area read more

First time flyer here. I met a couple of buds for lunch on Sunday, 1-12-2025. We got there for the opening at 11 AM and when I opened the door, that wonderful smell of Indian/Pakistani food hit me. I was in heaven. We all had the buffet, which is extensive and bountiful. For me tandoori chicken legs, samosas, butter chicken over biryani rice plus several other tasty dishes decorated my plate. Plus a stack of fresh naan. A little while later, I returned for my second plate of all the other good stuff I missed the first time. I am not an expert with the names of the dishes, but the curries, tika masala and other selections were TASTY. In the end, we left sated and satisfied. I give this place 5 stars for food, service, food, and did I say, food. Oops, I forgot the tasty varieties of chutney and the cooling raita. I am glad this restaurant has been reborn in this location. read more

This place is a gem! The place is smallish, clean, and comfortable. The food...is off the charts. We had the vegetable samosas, butter chicken and chicken malai with garlic naan, and a sweet lassi. Everything was literally perfect! The spices were just right with lots of flavor and a light kick at the end. We are looking forward to coming back...soon. read more

Non veg thali was an amazing variety of foods. Definitely would recommend. Especially if you are not knowledgeable on Indian foods. It'll give you a chance to try out a variety! Great service and atmosphere read more

I ordered takeout for here last weekend and I have not been able to stop thinking about it since!!! The owners are incredibly nice and the food is absolutely delicious. When you walk in it feels warm and smells like heaven. It took a minute to get my food to me, but they were so nice and gave my two year old a mango lassi as we waited! So kind of them! I made sure to leave a big tip in the jar because the service was truly amazing. When we got home to eat the food, everything was amazing! The buttered chicken, naan, sauces, everything! You can't go wrong coming here. In fact, I will be coming back again and again. I highly recommend! read more

Best Indian cuisine in the Temple / Killeen area. Friendly service, located in a nice area and fantastic food!

My first visit last night. I am not a connoisseur of Indian cuisine so was looking for not only a new experience but to learn more. I love lamb so choose the lamb tikki masala and garlic naan. So good! Followed with rice pudding. A delight! Left overs of the tikki masala and naan still delightful the next day. I will be back to try more dishes! Service was excellent. Atmosphere warm and inviting. read more

Outstandingly authentic Indian cuisine. Pleasant aesthetics. A very enjoyable experience. I strongly recommend you give it a try!

This Indian restaurant is amazing, the only complaint I have is that you cant order off the menu until 5 pm, prior to that it's buffet only. Must try the spinach pakora with the tomato, mint and coconut chutney as an app. The lamb saag is the best I ever had. Their fresh papadons are light, not greasy at all. read more

Authentic and delicious, every time, no matter what we order! I live for the pani puri!
