Taste of India Restaurant

We thoroughly enjoyed A Taste of India, an intimate storefront restaurant located a few minutes from downtown Providence. The staff are friendly and welcoming, the food delicious and authentic, and the dining area filled with tables that are perfect for groups of 2 - 4 (but can be combined for larger groups). We found the garlic naan to be hot, fresh, and delicious. And the two entrees that we ordered and shared (lamb and eggplant) to be flavorfully spiced and consistent with the level of heat that we requested. The large windows allow plenty of light and views of the neighborhood, making you feel as though you are a part of the vibrant scene and life of the neighborhood. We look forward to visiting again the next time we are in town.

Just don't come here. I had the lunch special chicken tiki masala and the portion size is an absolute joke. I literally had about 3 chicken cubes in my plate lol. For $13.95 that's an absolute joke.

Garlic naan was amazing but that was it. Server spoke very little English and had to get someone else to answer a question about a dish when ordering. The other person was very polite. Service was slow and we were never offered more drinks and had to wait about 15 mins to ask for the check with only 2 other tables inside. Ordered an appetizer sampler with 5 fried items but it didn't come with any sauces? Chicken looked great but texture tasted undercooked. Food did seem authentic.

Very good restaurant, I definitely prefer it to other local Indian restaurants. The garlic naan, chicken tikka masala, and saag paneer is my favorite order. Mango lassis are also delicious!

Food and service were excellent! This was our first time trying Indian food, and our experience couldn’t have been better. The waiter kindly took the time to explain the menu and, based on our preferences, offered thoughtful recommendations. We truly enjoyed everything and look forward to coming back!
