Restaurant Indian restaurant Buffet restaurant

👍👍 We went for lunch on a Saturday. A very nice atmosphere - quiet and serene. Customer service is very good. The lunch buffet comes with naan (garlic or plain) and dessert. Each of the entrees had a distinct and subtle flavor. Lots of choices for vegetarians. The only negative would be the price - 14...

    We went for lunch on a Saturday. A very nice atmosphere - quiet and serene. Customer service is very good. The lunch buffet comes with naan (garlic or plain) and dessert. Each of the entrees had a distinct and subtle flavor. Lots of choices for vegetarians. The only negative would be the price - 14.99 per person. Mostly everything on the menu is that same price. So the cost for lunch for 2 people ends up being about $40 if you order water to drink.

    My husband was craving biryani, so we took the trip all the way from far NW side of town. The biryani tasted if it was fried rice covered with lamb curry. Probably the worst biryani we’ve had. We told our server we didn’t like the biryani after taking few spoons, he said this is Punjabi type and would have said hyderabadi style. For future customers, it will be better if the server ask so they don’t get disappointed. Everything else tasted VERY good. The chicken tikka masala tasted by far the BEST in town!

    I thought I liked Indian food, but this was something else. The meat was juicy, tender, and flavorful; the chicken tikka masala was taste-bud melting combination of herbs and sweetness. The goat curry was falling off the bone and a vibrant splash of flavor. Even the rice was mildly seasoned, but so delicious. Good portions to boot. 100% I will be back.

    This is my first time trying Indian food and all I have to say about this place is WOW!!! Everything I got was amazing and full of flavor. I highly recommend this place, the building inside and out was clean and the people were extremely friendly. I definitely will be coming here again for my Indian food needs! Trust me, will not be disappointed!

    Looks like peices of plastic inside the sauce. Been here many times. Today was all off. Rice was very over cooked. Saag paneer did not tasted the same. Butter chicken tasted like it had a crunchy nut sauce to it (was never like this before)

    As soon as you taste the homemade food here, you’ll feel the love it’s made with amongst the delicious flavors. The family and staff are kind and truly care about their customers. I especially recommend the lunch buffet, which includes naan!, to taste the many authentic options. Super good

    We enjoyed their deeeelicious buffet for lunch. I enjoyed the distinct flavors and freshness of each dish, including the warm Naan they brought to the table. We'll be back!

    After trying a few Indian restaurants in town it's clear to me that Taste of India is the tastiest. The food is consistently great. Even when I get it delivered the hot things are still hot and the crispy things are still crispy. They have a buffet from 11 to 2pm every day for 14.99. You gotta try this place.

    We drive all the way from Corrales just to go here! It’s the best Indian food in the Albuquerque/Rio Rancho area!! We went for the lunch buffet. As always the flavors were rich and delicious! Nothing bland here! I always order the iced tea to drink which is super tasty! I’m not certain what spices are used but to me, tastes like black iced tea with a hint of cardamom and cloves. I absolutely love it! All of my family loves this place and anytime someone asks us about an Indian place I always refer them here! The service was fine. Waiter seemed like a new guy but the other gentleman at the counter was helping him by coming around making sure if everything was good. They kept our glasses full and plenty of refills of our naan basket! I Never have not even one complaint! I highly recommend!

    I ordered from Grubhub. Very first experience with Indian food. This tasted like a hug. I got butter chicken because I’m basic lol with garlic nan and samosas. They included a bunch of sauces and sides, absolutely delicious. Everything was tastier than the last. Highly recommend

    Not as good as another restaurant close by. On my second visit, we called and they told me my children would be half off after I gave them their ages. When it came time to pay, they charged me full price for one of my boys. I don't like being lied to, we will not be returning.

    We ordered food for the first time tonight from Taste of India. We had a Grub Hub gift card we needed to use. We heard great things about this place but had never tried it. Everything was amazing. It was delivered in such a neat and thoughtfully wrapped package. My 4 young children devoured the butter chicken and my husband and I loved our dishes as well. The dessert was out of this world.

    Extremely clean restaurant. I was very impressed with the customer service!The server was attentive and constantly wiping down the buffet line to keep things clean. They even pulled out extra chili powder from the back to make it spicy! Much appreciated. Come swing by for lunch!

    Absolutely incredibly delicious. Every dish is packed with so much flavor, and the serving sizes are all great. I'm a big fan of the tikka masala, rice pudding, spinach naan and mango lassi (a mango yogurt drink). All their deserts are fantastic. I recommend anyone even just visiting ABQ try Taste of India at least once, it's well worth it. My only regret is that I can't eat their food more often.

    After what felt like a long hunt, I think I found the best Indian food in Albuquerque. The balance of spices is just out of this world on their saag chana. Their rice is fantastic too. They can make a good amount of their dishes vegan and they’re just as delicious.

  • 5/5 Jenn O. 10 months ago on Google
    I love this place. The food is consistently good. I love their lunch buffet. Their iced tea is delicious. Their garlic Naan is perfect. My favorite dishes are the saag paneer and the chicken Tikka Masada. The service is always good. My only complaint: I get full too fast to be able to enjoy everything on the buffet.

    First time I had Indian food and I loved it! They treated us so great and we plan on returning. The owner interacted with us and he was awesome! There was about 16 of us and plan on returning

    Food was incredible! This was my first time getting food here and it was delicious. Awesome Vegan and Vegetarian options for my family and I. The food was packaged carefully. Very friendly staff!

    We got take-out tonight, and the food was absolutely delicious. We tried the Chicken Gobi Wala, which is something I've never had before, and it was a very special dish. We also had to make another stop as well as drive to Sandia Park to eat our meal, and because it was packaged so well, it was still hot when we were able to eat it. I highly recommend giving Taste of India a try.

    I love Indian food and this was exactly what I want when I order. I got delivery and the first thing I noticed was how well packaged everything was. Sealed and wrapped so nothing could leak or spill. Everything was delicious. Great experience
