You may notice it can be quiet- but don't let that deter you- you will not be disappointed with the food! Another great quality of the food is that the dishes are not overly oily as some Indian can be at other restaurants. So you leave feeling good and not yuck. Love it and will continue to go!

Taste of India is a bummer. Sorry to have to say that, as this place has been in operation for a…read morevery long time by one family - something I enormously admire. But my experience here was sadly very disappointing on several levels. First, we placed our order on line which required a pre-payment (which my wife did). When I got to the restaurant at the time that online order indicated, they hadn't even started preparation yet, so I had to wait around for 30m or so. Then not having communicated with my wife on the payment, they asked me to pay, which I did, not realizing that it had been a prepay. Got the food home, order was complete, but the portions were really small. But the price was not! I wouldn't mind if I thought the food was killer good, but it just wasn't. I used to live in Delhi, and have eaten Indian food all over the world and TOI isn't too good. It's not bad, but not that special... and given the price... yikes. Then to add fuel to the fire, a month or so later, my wife happened to notice that we had paid twice for TOI (we hadn't talked about it of course when coming home with the food). Accidents happen, so no worries, right? She called the restaurant, spoke to the wife (owner), the same who had I had paid when I went to pick up the food. This woman gave her the total run around... denying it had happened, refused to give an email (and in fact denied they had one - really, in today's day and age no email?) and wanted my wife to come physically to the restaurant with the receipts to prove the double pay. What happened to the customer is always right? Now I know how TOI stays in business for so long - once in a while customers get double charged and give up fighting when the restaurant makes it such a hassle to get our money back. Never never going back here again and vigorously recommend my friends to likewise find somewhere else to go for Indian.

Delicious delicious Indian Food with fun folks!…read more Ambiance - 4.5 stars. Very clean and nice, but a little cramped. Lighting is bright and refreshing, so you can see your food and your guests clearly. The noise level is perfect for dinner conversation. Service - 5 stars. It's nice to see the owner/chef and if wife often appear serving the dishes and talking with guests directly. Meera is a sweet lady who gives excellent advice on what to try if you're looking to be a bit adventurous and stray from the absolutely fantastic butter chicken and garlic naan staples (just add more, don't neglect these two stars). Food - 4.8 stars. Hands down one of the best Indian Restaurants I've been to. .2 stars off because the lamb was ever so slightly overcooked, but honestly the chicken and everything else was perfectly creamy, spicy, delicious, yummy, and just basically wonderful. Must haves include the garlic naan, the butter chicken, and if you like chai, their chai tea as a dessert is aromatic and delicate. Drink - 4 stars. Not a large selection of drinks, but definitely a solid 4 stars simply because their chai tea is that good. Recommendations - Any of their chicken dishes, they all shine. Garlic naan. Haven't tried the other naan, but the garlic is just so good. Chai Tea, because it is very spot on. Come in a small party of no more than four people total ~ I wouldn't recommend the place for larger groups than that. Make reservations, this place is justifiably busy most days. Takeaway is stellar, don't worry about getting a lower quality dish because you ordered it takeaway.

I'm jealous, Sydney…read more I get that y'all are the land of Master Chef, the land of expats and a multi cultural crowd - but seriously, putting out delicious entree after entree is a bit much for this reviewer who has experienced mediocre Indian food in Austin TX. It can't be right that your veg biryani hit all the right spots, that your dosa actually tasted like something I'd make at home (it's a compliment, trust me) and the sambar took me back to Saravana Bhavan in Chennai (I can give no higher praise) It's also not fair that your paneer pepper entree was a perfect interpretation of the Chettinad style. Damn. Hot damn. I'd take the train to St Leonard's and dine here no matter how far off I stayed.

Holy goat curry! Holy fish biryani! Holy garlic naan! Some Indian restaurants are not created…read moreequal, and this is one of those restaurants. It's run by the guys behind Nilgiri cooking schools so you know it's legit, and this ain't your anglicised rogan josh slinger, oh no, this is coastal Indian with exotic influences the likes of which you've probably never seen, I certainly hadn't. We ate: - TELLICHERRY FISH BIRYANI: star anise, Tellicherry pepper, biryani mix, basmati rice and fresh fish 'dum cooked' - AADU ULLARTHU: slow cooked goat with ground 'masala' of, fennel, cassia and poppy seeds - BRINJAL AVIYAL: stuffed baby eggplant in seasoned yoghurt with mustard and curryleaf 'baghaar' - GOBHI KEMPE BEZULE: batter fried cauliflower, black mustard, tempered yoghurt Everything was spectacular, but the goat, good lord, the goat was a show-stopper, closely followed by the biryani and the buttery naans. Plus it's BYO so yeaaaah son, get on.

Nevertheless the prospect of good southern Indian kept us at the table. The menu is small but interesting. Started with pappadums and dips - awesome yoghurt dip. Possibly the best I have had. Pepper Chicken entree was good, but to my palate very salty - tamarind paste I guess. Sadly, my goat curry was very tough with gristle and inedible chunks. The Saag Paneer was ok but nothing special.
