Reviews for Taste of India in Monroe, LA
This place was recommended by friends so I had high expectations. I called this place on a Thursday and asked how much the... lunch buffet was. They said $12.50. When I went to pay on this Friday my bill was $17.95. The lunch buffet is higher on Friday.???? This place has a lot of stuff on the buffet. More than most Indian buffets I've been to. Some dishes even seemed likeIndian knockoffs of Chinese food But I didn't think the food was as good as other Indian places I've been. The Tandoori Chickenand Naan were subpar. These are usually items that are done well in most places. The butter chicken was ok but could have beenbetter. I didn't really find a standout dish on my visit and I tried most of them. I definitely ate a lot of spice because I wassweating before I was finished eating. ???? I always enjoy getting to try new places but I didn't feel this was worth $18 on aFriday. $12.50 Mon-Thurs might be ok. Would I go back, I would try again to see if my first experience was a fluke but I wasn'timpressed. It wasn't terrible, it just wasn't a standout. Read more
Food was really good. We had masala dosa and goat biryani, and both of them were well prepared. Staff is courteous. Also you can... buy some basic Indian groceries here which is a plus. Read more

First time back since the pandemic. New servers are much slower and it was clear that many guests were impatient with the new... waitstaff. However they were friendly and made sure we were taken care of and suggested delicious sides despite a mild languagebarrier. Tonight we had the Goat Biryani and the Lamb Tikka Masala. Safe choices but the food was as wonderful as I rememberespecially the Lamb which was definitely higher quality than before. Appetizers were the Mango Chicken and Fish Pakora. Ialmost always choose the Mango Chicken as it has almost a nostalgic taste and it was even more powerful this evening. The FishPakora was also delicious last time ive tried such a dish in Jackson it was greasy ans the fish was undercooked. Here howeverthe fish was perfectly cooked and the clean taste paired wonderfully with the seasonings. No dessert nor drinks. 5/5 awonderful experience still. Read more
Horrible food. Asked for chilli chicken spicy, gave me a ghee roasted chicken. Asked for chicken 65, gave a dry nasty tasting... sauce on chicken. Dnt even bother ordering food here. The order is never correct. Read more
A buffet style Indian food restaurant which has a menu. The atmosphere is open and inviting, and yet private enough that a... couple could enjoy a private meal. Cleanliness: The place and building is pretty clean. The seats and table were alsopresentable. All the forks and plates were clean, as well as the food bar. Food: all of the food that was tried was wellprepared and delicious. There might be some spice you dont like, but that is an advantage of the buffet. Read more
