The place has a nice ambience. The staff was very kind and helpful. We walked in and they were just opening. We showed up to enjoy a nice lunch around 3 o'clock. We ordered quite a few things. We started off with the Samosa, which was two. The flavors were good. We got the papadum and they were tasty. We both got lemon and iced tea. She ordered the vegetarian biryani and I ordered the lamb korma. I'm very glad I asked because she said that rice was not included with the dish. I was even more shocked to see that it cost me 89 pesos for rice. My friend enjoyed her rice dish. The Naan with all that garlic did not taste or have a bunch of flavor. The portion was extremely small. As for my lamb korma, it was very large pieces of lamb that weren't cooked long enough to be soft. It was a lot of chewing. I did enjoy the sauce plus the mango pickle that they brought. However a 1300 peso lunch?! I asked for a three on my spicy, and there was no spice whatsoever in the korma nor in the mango pickle. I'll stick to the other restaurant in the area. It was closed under maintenance. I don't expect to spend $56 even in America on lunch. read more

This was just okay. They have vegetarian options. The Malai kofta was about $300 pesos and didn't taste the way we are used to. The rice and garlic naan were also just okay. Some of the staff was nice, but some of them didn't seem too happy to be there. Prices were too high. Ambiance is pretty good with good Indian music playing. I would rather try a different Indian restaurant next time. read more

This place is perfectly adequate, although getting charged for rice like it's another dish is excessive. Patravali, another Indian place in Cancun, is still better. read more

Great Indian food. Spicy is best! I ordered naan , chicken Taki masala, and another spicy chicken kabob , and chicken with spinach. The waiter was very professional and gave us recommendations & brought us some extra spicy chilly sauce. Waiter knew both English and Spanish. read more

I don't understand the bad reviews. Just had dinner here and it was amazing! Tasted super authentic, just like the food at some of my favorite restaurants in India and the US. I can only compare it to Patravali, the other well known Indian restaurant in Cancun. Felt like Patravali was trying too hard to make their dishes "gourmet" and I didn't enjoy that experience. Whereas Taste of India just serves the classic Indian dishes that everyone loves, with no frills but super clean and delicious ingredients. The garlic naan was phenomenal, buttery and garlicky and the perfect texture. The chana masala was also amazing- not watery, super flavorful, and the chickpeas cooked perfectly! The portions were also the perfect size to eat the chana with the naan, and I left full but not uncomfortably stuffed. I can't wait to go back. 100% recommend for vegans and vegetarians. read more

A wonderful authentic cuisine. We had shrimp marsalla, tandoori shrimp, lamb biriani, garlic nann. Everything was delicious. The absolute best was the lmb. I almost ordered another, but I am sooo full I really couldn't swallow another bite. The service was very good, very attentive. The restaurant is very clean and follow the CV-19 protocols. Highly recommend by this reviewer read more

Taste of India - Dining room, very authentic except the Christmas tree - Indian Near Me - Cancún, ROO

Worst food, worst service,very expensive., please don't go . Server forgot an item doesn't know difference between lacha paratha and butter naan. read more

I ordered the chili chicken Marsala which was very spicy but there also was not very much chicken in the dish; maybe, 1/2 of one chicken breast? The rest was only sauce, onion and jalapeño slices(half of the small bowl it was served in). The hot and spicy vegan soup was tasty but again more liquid than vegetables! Both dishes served with no napkin and I had to ask them for one! The servings were not that large at all! I would give MAYBE a 2.5 star rating? Also, don't sit at the lone, round table, nearest the door. It rocks on the floor 1/2" or more as well as the table top itself rocks that much on the pedestal! I moved to a different table, but, they seated someone else there 5 min later, rather than try to fix it! read more

Omg authentic indian!!! It was so good. Everything tasted great and the service was good and it was cheap too (everything in mexico is cheap) Garlic naan, chicken fried rice, garlic tikka, and chicken makhani is what we had and i highly recommend all of it!!! read more

I will only give this place three stars. The place is clean. The waiters are friendly and service oriented. The waiters being local still know Indian food reasonably well. The reason for the low stars is because the food itself is not very high quality food. The food is of the street vendor quality - VERY oily and very salty. We orders some normally non-oily dishes like paneer tikka masala - and that too was oily. The food was well cooked but did not meet the standards of a good quality restaurant. If you are craving Indian food - it is definitely passable. read more

I love Indian food & of course this was about a 5 mins drive from our hotel. Don't underestimate the scenery it's authentic and flavorful just as you would get anywhere in the states . My boyfriend and I came here two nights in a row because it was so good! read more

If you are a bride thinking of getting married in Cancun and looking for Indian food in the area this review is for you! We went to taste of India for our wedding tasting. We opted to go to the restaurant because it was much cheaper to do the tasting this way rather than having them come out to the resort. We tasted a wide variety of items: Chicken Tikka Masala- This is NOTHING like it is in the states. It seems like that all around Cancun. The Tikka Masala is an onion based gravy and not a cream heavy cream. However, the butter chicken does have a creamy gravy. Butter chicken- Delish! Narvrathna Korma- So we are not the type to like sweet Punjabi food so we asked the chef to make it spicy and not sweet he was able to quickly remake it and it was actually very good! Chaat Papdi- was really good, tasty, spicy and the chutney was just right! Lamb kabob- OMG! PHENOMENAL! We actually had the tandoor chef come out to talk to use and we complimented him many, many times on this dish! MUST TRY!!!! Chili Panner- Not bad for Cancun. I was a little hesitant because of the paneer but it actually wasn't bad. Naan- nice and fluffy! Vegetable Biryani- SOOOO good. It's almost like they slow cook it for ours the flavor is so rich! I love this place and the staff they are very friendly. We are still debating who we will be using for our wedding but this is definetly a good place to check out if you're in Cancun and want Indian food...however, it a bit far from the Hotel Zone and it doesn't feel like you are in Mexico they are located next to a office depot. If you are looking for a nice environment check out Elefante! read more

We were really hungry and we are vegetarians. A friend took us there. Staff friendly. Food was good. Little language problem. But overall good. read more

This is food is so amazing. Would highly suggest going here if you are sick of all the Mexican food because I know my family and I were. Amazing flavor and true Indian food. Wish I had this back home. Super great read more

Awesome food.. we went as a family for vacation and were surprised to find authentic Indian food as against customized Indian food that you normally find in tourist locations. The owner was very helpful and the price was not that expensive. Overall I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great Indian food in Cancun read more

Awesome food on New Years full of desi flavor! The highlight of our trip. A must try in cancun.

Absolutely amazing comfort food in a place you wouldn't expect. All the food tasted like proper Indian-spiced cuisine. We liked it so much the first time that we decided to go a second within the same week. If you are looking for a flavorful Indian dining experience, definitely recommend! read more

Taste of India is located in downtown Cancun. Big place, decent food but it was empty. They were playing all Bollywood songs. It is a good place for people who are looking for Indian food. They serve vegetarian food as well. People don't seem to use Yelp in Mexico much, you will find very less reviews for places, so check for google reviews. We had ordered veg kofta, daal and Naan. Everything was decent. People traveling from Bay Area SFO will agree with me. They charged us for water and onions salad. Well this is not what Indian restaurants do in India. This should be made complementary. read more

The one star is for a decent Gulab Jamun (dessert). The buffet was absolutely horrible. On one end you have elefanta which serves the best North Indian food and the other this restaurant which is seriously not worth serving Indian Food. The fritters were cold and refried, the vegetable was cold and tasteless. The dal makhani was decent but no where close to average standards. The staff was least interested in filling the empty trays. Ambience was bad with some torn out sofa. Never visit again. read more

Great food and excellent service from start to finish. We called ahead for a 12 person reservation and everything was on time. Food is great. read more

Visited TOI for dinner. Ambience is nice and staffs are friendly. We had a mix of vegetarian and non vegetarian food. Tomato soup and fish Tikka was good. Vegetarian food(veg kholapuri) was average. There was lot of oil in veg kholapuri and taste was average. Chicken tikka, naan and rice were good. You can give it a try if you are not a vegetarian and looking for some good tandoori options. read more

Awesome indian food, reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend the place if you want to have some indian food.

Amazing Indian food. Had the Thali which was great and got a bit of everything. Good service. Decent prices. Food was very very tasty.

Bad bad bad food.. how can one mess up something as simple as aloo gobhi?! The paneer Kulcha and samosa were quite tasteless too.. this is not indian food it's something else only. Would have given 1 rating but gave 2 for the pleasant staff read more

Firstly I wasn't expecting to find an Indian restaurant in Cancun. The food is pretty tasty

If u crave for authentic Indian food, this is the place.. I dnt remember the dish I had but it was lamb and some onion bhaji for starters.. Delicious..I ask for extra spicy just the way I like it... Marvelous! Best Indian food in cancun read more

Undoubtedly the best place in Cancun for Indian food that is closest to authentic. Service can become reasonably inconsistent though depending on what day and time you visit. Buffet is good value for money. Tandoor dishes are tastier than many other places read more

Ordered Tandoori Chicken (full) and Chicken Biryani. Biryani was so so and a little disappointing. However, the tandoori chicken tasted fresh and cooked tender from the tandoor. The naan were not very thick, but still pretty good. Had dessert Mango Kulfi - which even showed mango hair in it. Seemed that they made mango lassi and then froze it to make mango kulfi - not that great. Anyway, not much options for Indian food in Cancun. Service was good. read more

Very mediocre and prices much higher than you would find even in the states. Chicken Tikka Masala, rice and nan cost over $20.00 (Rice is extra) The quality of the chicken was really subpar. In fairness, I only had the one dish. read more

Fried fish is delicious !!! They charge for water !!! The most ridiculous thing I've ever came across in my dining experience. read more

After four days in Cancun, I wanted something different. Being from the bay area, Indian food was a good choice. I regret to say that the food was OK, but if you don't often eat Indian food, this place might be interesting. Also, the price was a little high considering other choices in Cancun, specially if you eat local food. read more

Probably the best & most authentic indian food in cancun!! Tried mattar paneer, dal makhni, chicken cray, fish kolibada. All of them were super awesome in taste. Very hygienic & good service too. In short if u like indian food, u shud give it a try for sure! & this is coming str8 from an Indian! read more

Best Indian restaurant in Cancun. Visited this restaurant many times. The food was very good and tasty. Highly recommended. Great service too. read more

Not good not good. I'm visiting cancun and went to taste of India all the way from westin resort and spa. It is really far . I'm of Indian origin and North Indian on that. So I know this food really well. We ordered dal makhni and paneer, pudina parantha, naan and veg rice. Dal makhni was not the correct dal makhni. Dal makhni is the black urad dal and it seems the chef conveniently used masur dal which is obviously cheaper and inferior In taste and quality. Paneer was really below average not the kind of nice gravy you will expect in a restaurant. Naan and parantha was okay, rice was okay. We order almond kulfi which was too sweet served in an outdated cup. Let me add this now it is very easy to make meat and chicken tasty and yummy but you pass the test when you make a vegetarian dish delicious. Sorry to say that does not stand true for taste of India. Now I want to compare this to elefenta, where the food was amazing and the location was amazing, we ordered 3 entrees 1 appetizer naans and rice and the bill was $50. We ordered 2 entrees no appetizer and naans 1 tiny dessert at TOI and our bill was $40. Go figure!!!!!! read more

Went on a weekend evening. place was empty. very expensive for the quantity and quality of food. some of the food tasted like the pre-packaged frozen items microwaved. 2 stars for the fact that it was open, the food was warm and edible. read more

It was our first Visit in Cancun. We were looking for good Indian Restaurant. We travelled 30 mins from JW Marriott to Restaurant and we were very excited to eat Indian food. But our experience was not at all what we expected. Waiter was having trouble understanding the food we were trying to order and inspire of clear instruction brought us Very spicy food. Staff was not friendly. Food was not that impressive as well. read more

If you want to try something different , this is the place the atmosphere and the scents take you straight to India. The food is good and they told me there is a buffet that definitely I am going to try read more

Average to mediocre food which lacks flavour at not so average prices. It felt like eating mediocre street vendor food. Service was distracted and there were literally more waiters than occupied tables. read more

Very nice authentic Indian food. I am a vegetarian and found enough options for my family here. Sweets are very good
