    Lamb vindaloo, garlic naan, mango juice.
    Ari S.

    The outside may not be the most extravagant but the food is great. The food was hot and extremely flavorful. Everything was brought out fresh and I would definitely eat here again!

    Garlic Naan

    The food was delicious and service was friendly. Our family got the Butter Chicken, Chicken Afghani, and Aloo Saag. Each came with a side of rice, and we added a side of Garlic Naan. You can set your "level of spicy" between 0 and 10. My husband, who likes spicy food, asked for level 3 and he said it was just right for him. Mine was at level 0. LOL! Everything was very tasty. Best Garlic Naan!

    Curry GOAT. All gone. Damn good food. And the Kingfisher beer was fantastic

    Would have missed this place if we had not been directed there for really good Indian food. A little odd from the outside but nice on the inside. The food was served piping hot and full of flavor. Everything served quickly and the wait staff was very pleasant and helpful with choices. Would return in a heartbeat to this place.

    I'm totally in love with this place. So much so, that on my 3rd visit, I have already confessed to them my undying love for their exotically spiced, artfully crafted dishes. A local family owned business, the service here is phenomenal. Last visit, I walked in & the beautiful young lady that is always there says to me very cheerfully, "Hello again! You look nice." Who does that? I don't recall that ever happening to me anywhere else. I was in tore up clam diggers, t-shirt, hoodie & Gucci slides. She is just very kind & super professional. Her & her sister are both gorgeous, sweet & fun. The best combination. They play the Bollywood videos on the tv from YouTube with all the group dancing, it's a really fun casual family atmosphere. But, also romantic. A great date night spot. Most people don't realize that just recently in 2017, local historian Tom Garner confirmed the location of the oldest established European multi-year settlement in the USA. Pensacola, Florida! Yes, confirmed, the two shipwrecks out in Pensacola bay artifacts match to Don Tristan de Luna. He established his Spanish colony right here in Pirate'cola August 1559, 6 years before the St. Augustine settlement & nearly 48 years before the English settled in Jamestown, Va. Anyway, my point is, there are so many old beachside shanty buildings around Pirate'cola that have so much character & are so Piratey cool. Arrr! Dinner India is one of our coolest Pirate'cola beach town restaurants. The building, the colors, it's a very neat little colorful beach side shanty that exudes that beach side simple casual comfort & is run by the sweetest Nepalese family ever, that makes the most sublime Nepalese food. A truly unique experience. It hits you in all the senses. When you drive up, you can smell all the exotic spices in the air... The only other place I have found that has food anywhere near as good as this is the Neplease place in OKC that's in the gas station & this place shames that place. I can't get enough! I have to talk myself out of coming here all the time!!! She knows, I told you I told her all of this & already confessed my love to them for their Malai Kofta!!! LOL :)... Every. Single. Dish! Every single dish we have tried & tried multiple times, has been amazeballs. I can't even pick two faves now. I have to pick 3! And I can't even eat 3. What a horrible conundrum! Lol The lamb dishes are 2.die.4! All of them! I have to say the lamb vindaloo is my fave & then the SAAG lamb. The lamb is always cooked perfectly. The Malai Kofta (paneer vegetable dumpling) they make is out of this world delicious. It's a work of art. You haven't lived till you try their Malai Kofta. The eggplant & okra are also excellent. The SAAG Chicken is WOZA! When it gets cold out, I love a good curry & all of them are so YUM! The lamb curry is as fabulous as the shrimp curry & the fish curry is made with swordfish! We also had the little fried chickpea dumplings that is also made with swordfish! 2.die.4! Most importantly, they do spicy right! I like spicy, it's very good for you. Lots of fresh ground whole spices & cooking with whole spices has many health benefits. Fact: People who eat spicy food live longer. They cook with whole spices! Yay! I find whole Cloves, whole cardamoms in all my dishes & I LOVE that! All that ginger & turmeric! (Another super food that fights cancer) And the raita?! Ohmygosh!!! Hubby & I make raita all the time we love it, we have it everywhere we go. Never, ever, have we ever had it as good as theirs! Yes, we told her. She knows! Their raita is expertly crafted with all kinds of yummy stuff in it! Don't worry. I'm trying to get her to tell me what all is in it! Hahaha hahaha... And please don't forget to try their puri (ballon bread) & papadum! Just like everything else, it is all perfectly artisan crafted, by authentic Nepalese food goddesses. Namasté Go NOW!

    The food at Dinner India was delicious! I ordered a lamb biryani. It was so flavorful. I ordered a spice level of three and it was quite spicy. I'll probably go in lower next time. The lamb was so tender. My daughter had egg fried rice. We also had the garlic naan.

    Naan, rice, chicken saag, and chicken tikka masala. Forgot to take a picture when they first brought it out because we dug right in.

    Delicious! Husband and I aren't from here, but we gotta try Indian food wherever we go. This place is so good! Not only is the customer service excellent, but the food is incredible. We ordered the vegetable samosas, chicken tikka masala, chicken saag, raita, and regular naan. Chicken tikka masala: this curry was less sweet than other places I've tried with the same dish, which honestly, I liked better. Chicken saag: this one... was amazing. Out of all the places I've tried, this chicken saag is my absolute favorite. Sad we don't live here! Vegetable samosas: these were spiced so well and went great with the chutney. The food was super hot and fresh when we received it. Zero complaints from us, except that this place is not where we live!

    Used YELP to find Taste of India while driving through the Florida panhandle…read more Turned out to be a very good move as the food portions were both plentiful and tasty. It's a welcoming spot & got to meet the owner, Rudy, who made some great recommendations!

    Alright--"Taste of India"... where do I even start?…read more If you already love Indian food, you won't be disappointed. And if you've never tried it before, this is absolutely a place to start. One big misconception is that everything is super spicy--that's not the case at all. The flavors are rich and layered, and if you do want heat, they're more than happy to turn it up for you. When you go, take a minute to ask what's on special and have them explain some of the dishes. It makes a huge difference. Not everything is the same, and trying different options is part of the experience--you'll enjoy your meal a lot more if you lean into that. I've been both during the day and at night. If you go during the day, hit the buffet--it's the best way to sample a wide variety of dishes and figure out what you like. At night, ask your server for recommendations--they'll steer you in the right direction based on your taste. Some of my personal favorites? The Tandoori Chicken, Lamb Chops, and honestly anything with goat. If you want a standout, try the Amritsari Mutton Rara--it's a big favorite of mine. There's a lot more on the menu than I can list here, so check out their website and take your time looking it over before you go. And when you stop in, tell them the old biker dude--"1/2 Time" or "Phatt Panda"--sent you. It won't get me anything, but they'll know I meant it when I said I'd come back and leave an honest review.

They have a great selection of food in their menu. I ordered all of my favorite Indian dishes. As my husband and I waited for our order the stuff gave us a free mango lassi for each to try. It was delicious and will definitely order next time. Reason for my three stars review is due to the amount of protein given for each dish ordered. Mostly all sauce and hardly any protein. Very disappointed as it was not enough to feed everyone. Spent a lot of $$$ for sauce, rice and veggie. The flavors of each dish were amazing and exactly what I expected. Sauce was delicious over rice. Which was the only thing we had plenty of and what we ate mostly. Not sure if I'll go again as it's pricey for no protein.

    We were up for trying a new Indian restaurant, something I don't do lightly but my husband loves it…read moreso have to do it every once in a while. We were very pleased with Holi Indian Kitchen and my husband, who will be in the area for a few more weeks plans to go back. One of my son's ordered butter chicken, which we all love at home and because of that we usually try not to order it at restaurants because we never like it as well. But this was at least comparable to what I make, if not better so it was a good choice on his part. My other son ordered Mango Chicken Curry and we also ordered Tandoori Paneer. Both were very good, but the butter chicken was the best thing we ordered. Service was spectacular - Lawrence took great care of us and we appreciated his attentions and recommendations. A few things that could really push this place up to the full 5 stars in my opinion: 1. there wasn't much meat in the dishes - I know that Indian tends to be very saucy, but there were very few chicken chunks in both the butter chicken and Mango chicken dishes. 2. we ordered both buttered naan and regular naan and none of us could tell the difference between the two. We may actually have just received both regular naans. 3. often times we are able to find gluten free naan at restaurants, but they didn't have any. This would be a beneficial item to add to the menu, as a lot of people are gluten free these days.

    We were out and wanted something different for dinner…read more Haven't had authentic food from india in awhile. They usually import the spices which makes the food taste so good when seasoned with the spices , they leave a good taste in your mouth. I was hoping for that experience for my Mom. She has never had Indian food I wanted her to try it & enjoy something different. They didn't have garlic nann. They had no nann! The woman could not speak English so her son told us they only have pita bread. No nann??? I did think it was odd I didn't see it on the menu. We should have left but we stayed. Well the last time we had buttered chicken it was red at a different restaurant. This was not like we have had, so different. My mom made the comment that they give you a lot of rice but that was it. I wanted to have her try all the flavors I have had & enjoyed at other India restaurants. The chicken chunks were tender which was a good thing. They do give a complimentary bottle of water, no cups , no ice just the bottle. You eat with plastic spoons and forks. Sad to have had my Mom say she did not enjoy it. Maybe she will give a chance somewhere else someday. For being almost $18 each it was definitely not worth that kind of money. I'd expect a real silverware to use instead of plastic wear that sits out on the table that other people can touch! We can not recommend this place and it's very highly unlikely that we would eat here again.
