Taste of India

Been coming here for about 20 years and it’s changed considerably. Ask what gin they had and they bought me a drinks menu, asked for flavoured gins , they didn’t have any, then told me they only have one gin, so, no need for the drinks menu then ! Asked for jug of water .. it never turned up and the salad, was brown and dry. Some food was lovely but for what you pay it should all be delicious.

Close to University of Nottingham self catering halls, and close to Trent Vineyard. Tasteful decor and tasty food. Kinda Indian restaurant by numbers, but very pleasant nonetheless. Good value compared to others too, and a student discount available too, although not many students, mostly families and couples. Good service, and I recommend booking for Saturday evenings.

One of my local favourites, I often come with a large group. Most recently 22 of us enjoyed a delicious meal. The service is great. I've never had a meal here that I've not enjoyed

As a family we regularly ordered from here 20+ years ago but we grew up and moved on. Now back in Notts I’ve tried it 3 or 4 times in the last few years.Unless you want a largely bland and heavily sweetened sauce do not buy from here. The chicken itself is decent.With a few tweaks they could be infinitely better.

Came here with a friend after an evening out, the staff were lovely and so attentive and the food was great. Will definitely be coming back again.

A proper curry house. By that, I mean the food is the important thing. I don't need uber fancy decor that some contemporary Indian restaurants seem to go for. The decor is nice, staff helpful and knowledgeable. Fair prices for such great food. Portion size is great too.

Tried the Chicken Biryani with great hope, but the biryani tastes like a mix of Dal (chana)rice & Chicken... Highly dissatisfied.Didn't understand the recipe of adding chana in Biryani.

I have been Taste of India before, but tonight was special - tonight I brought my dad out for dinner like we used to many years ago trying a variety of Indian restaurants. The table was booked for 6pm via the app and we arrived 10minutes earlier, now we were greeted by two regular staff and was received warmly, professionally. Guided to our table, seated and asked for drinks. The restaurant is clean, precise but the only downfall is where the reception and till is situated running along to the kitchen, I feel could be blocked off by a rolling wall to give the staff their privacy. After careful consideration, we choose our appetiser Onion Bhaji x3 which is a really good amount for £4.95, then we ordered a lamb rogan josh which you need to order seperate rice and two plain naan, with my order of keema balti (which I asked if they could make, due to not being on the balti menu - no problem for the staff) also provided with the balti was rice and chapati.As you can see from the pictures, the onion bhaji was cooked to perfection - no raw onions and no clump build up, my father loved the little touch of salad and the wedge of lemon in a squeezer. So it was 10mins to receive the starter, which is freshly cooked and then about 20mins to receive the main - truth be told I have waited longer, so I was impressed with the time because all food is cooked fresh. When the mains arrived, it was enough time to be hungry again. The rice was fluffy, not stodgy and was not overcooked or microwaved, it was tasteful on its own. The Keema was incredible, not overwhelmed with onions but balanced with flavour versus the little kick it gives. Presented beautifully, and the food was so good I did not need to use my fork - thank the lord for chapati and naan. My father's lamb rogan josh was perfectly coloured and the lamb was a lovely pink in the middle, very well cooked and seasoned. It was so nice he managed to clear his plate, lol, I needed a doggy bag and throughout the meal the customer service was second to none. Attentive, polite, professional and smart appearance also extremely helpful. All in it cost £42.05, but I have to be honest I would of paid up to £60. It was a dad and daughter night, will be back again - also my father loved his food and he is extremely picky. So it can be expensive but that's life, what a food and taste experience in beautiful surroundings but I miss the pictures of the waterfalls with cascading water.

We ate in as a four and it was absolutely gorgeous. I had a chicken puree and the puree was heavenly! I also had a side of sagg Paneer which was equally lovely. Go and eat in it’s totally worth it!
