| - Let me start by saying that I really enjoy Indian food. I've tried places throughout New York and all over Vegas and I cook a wide variety of North and South dishes at home. With Taste of India being open for 3 months now, I wanted to have high expectations for this place. It does seem like a "hole-in-the-wall" place given the semi-bad area but anyway, let me start. My group and I walked in for the Indian Buffet. The place had no customers so we were the only ones. The place looked completely empty and had a rather "cold" feeling with little to no decor. We sat down and a couple minutes later were given water with no ice.
We were asked what kind of naan bread we wanted then we got up over to the buffet line. While perusing the buffet line, the food didn't really look that appetizing. I got a plate full of few things like jeera rice, chicken tikka masala, saag paneer, and mutton korma.
Within two minutes of eating, I quickly began to lose my appetite and here's why. The rice was extremely overcooked and possibly not made that day. It was very clumpy and soggy and had little to no flavor. Ten minutes later we received our naan (which was undercooked and very doughy) and I began dipping it into the Chicken Tikka Masala. The masala tasted like Campbell's tomato soup (I kid you not). I couldn't eat another bite of it. Everything on my plate was under temperature so my group and I started to worry whether or not we would get sick. Anything from 42-140 degree F is a temperature danger zone. Nothing was hot and the paneer cheese was very cold once bitten into. The tandoori chicken looked "sad" sitting there and had no flavor and reminded me of the chicken thighs I used to eat for those horrible school lunches in elementary school. There is nothing genuine about this place and frankly, it's rather sad. I don't know about you but everything about this place needs help. From the lack of decor to the most important part--the food, there is nothing welcoming about this place, it's not traditional, and it's very empty. I honestly felt like I was in that buffet scene in Vegas Vacation. Indian food is supposed to be fresh and screaming with flavor and I do not know what this place is trying to do. I left with cramping in my stomach and felt horrible for most of the day after this. Maybe it was the combination of the food, or the temp of the food, but it is now not worth going back.
Another bad part of this experience was we learned that they delivered. We saw the guy with take-out containers loading them with food from the buffet line. He kept on looking over at our group. Not sure if he didn't want us to see what he was doing? Someone from my group asked if it was for delivery and he said it's for his "friends." Uhhh, what?
Please consider this review. I highly do not recommend coming here.
