Gobi Manchurian, butter chicken, uttapams, saag paneer, Tandoori chicken, and chili chicken. These are a few of my favorite things. It all is delicious and they prepare the food fresh daily. Everything is made to order. The service is amazing. You are welcomed and made to feel at home as soon as you walk in. The owners are wonderful people and active in the community. They have a grocery section where you can purchase items to take home and cook if you so desire. The booths are comfortable, and there is enough seating. The decor is sparse but when the food is this good, you don't need decor. read more

Came here for lunch and once we found out they do buffet style, we got really excited to try it. We used to live in Houston where there's a huge Indian community, so we've tried a lot of Indian food before and kinda know what to expect. The place is decorated really nicely. One thing I noticed is all the figures and little trinkets on the walls actually looked clean and not dusty, which tells me they take care of the place and clean well. It was pretty busy, but there was no wait. The server was nice and quick too. He was handling all the tables by himself and still made sure we were okay the whole time. They had a pretty good variety on the buffet -- curries, soups, salads, different meat options, and even chai. The restaurant is also connected to a grocery store, and from looking around they seemed to have a lot of stuff, so if you need to shop too this is probably a good spot. I also saw they have a bar area, but I'm not sure if it was open or not. Overall, everything was okay. Nothing super outstanding, but the buffet concept is good and convenient. I'd come back again. read more

Really good food in Monroe.. It is with in a grocery store but food was fresh and good

Ate here twice while working in the area. The first night I ate at the restaurant. I ordered the Tandoori Chicken which came with rice and mint sauce and tomato chutney. The chicken was really good and the sauce and chutney were delicious. A few days later I did an order for pickup. I ended up getting the Lamb Dosa ( a huge Crepe stuffed with Lamb meat $8.95 ) and the Ginger Chicken (Boneless chicken cooked in a sweet and savory sauce made with mango and other spices $10.95 ). This Ginger chicken was absolutely delicious. The Dosa was good just not enough Lamb stuffed in the crepe. Prices were good for the dishes I ordered the two separate nights. The food was really good and the service was great as well. read more

I've ordered via Uber Eats to my office at work and the food has been cooked right and delicious!

I'm grateful that this restaurant is able to serve this small town that leaves much to be desired when it comes to diverse food options. There's even a market inside the shop so you can pick up some extra goodies on your way out if you wish. I'll just list some of the things I've tried so far, all of which you can't go wrong if you wanna risk it for the biscuit! Food: Chicken Samosa Chicken Tikka Masala Chicken Korma Butter Chicken (my fave, so good!) Mughlai (lamb) Biryani (my fave among the biryani options) Hyderabadi Dum (chicken) Biryani (you can't go wrong here tbh) Goat Biryani Malbar lamb (has a nice kick to it, def recommend!) Lamb Madrasi Lamb Vindaloo (a great option if you want to kick up the heat) +Normal naan, garlic naan (definitely a must!) Desserts and Drinks: Kheer (wouldn't order again) Mango Lassi (!!!) Chai (unsweetened; it was just ok) Out of the desserts and drinks, I really loved the Mango Lassi! It's to die for when you're scarfing down a spicy meal, so definitely give it a try if you've never had it before. read more

We came here for my sister's birthday by her choice. I haven't had Indian in a long time so I was down with it. She said that they do a huge buffet for lunch and boy she wasn't kidding. It's also mad cheap. I think it was under $12 a person for as much heaping plates of Indian noms as you can dream of being whipped up. I hear that there used to be no Indian restaurants in this area and all of a sudden the town is starting to boom with a few of them which is great. Trying to recall everything I consumed is impossible but there were standout items: Saag paneer, butter chicken, tandoori chicken, a few cauliflower dishes, an interesting noodle dish I wasn't expecting, saffron rice, a few pakora dishes, indian deserts. I lost track of all of the curries but I tried to eat a bit of everything. Along with an array of condiments and sauces and freshly baked naan bread. Some of the food had some heat to it which I also appreciated. I left fat and happy. They also have a small little grocery nook set off to the side where you can pick up Indian and International ingredients for cooking. This was probably bizarrely one of my favorite dining experiences in Monroe. Especially the people that work here just seemed so friendly and welcoming. read more

Man the food at this place is off the chain, so delicious! I choose a little of everything on the lunch buffet and each dish is just so dang delightful and tasty! If I had a choice of one place at which to dine every day, it would be A Taste of India in Monroe, LA. read more

The service wasn't bad but I feel that this place is overhyped. Maybe Indian food isn't for me because it had my stomach hurting. Then on top of it all, while waiting for our food we definitely had a "friend" join our table by climbing a wall (and by friend, i mean a roach). Asked for togo boxes before we even got our food and gtf. read more

I've been to this spot multiple times. I have enjoyed it each time. The food is delicious and always hot so I decided to eat their buffet which I usually don't do anywhere else. It was well stocked and clean. The service was on point. I'll always be back.... read more

Ordered a take away via DoorDash. The food was so badly packed when the driver lifted the bag from the vehicle it fell all over the floor, out of the base of the saturated paper bag. The meal was a total loss. My entire order was on the car park of my hotel. We called the taste of India and they squarely blamed the driver. It was obvious the food was packaged poorly. read more

Service is good, ambiance is not that fancy, diner type. Needs upgrade. Food is mediocre. Tandoori lacks lot of flavor, just grilled chicken with color..... tikka masala, and butter chicken is just sugar, no garlic or ginger, no garam masala. Ordered chicken korma that is usually a yellow sauce, this time it came like tandoori. Do they think I don't know the difference? Not worth the price. read more

Awesome food, great service, nice atmosphere. Lunch buffet is great! Best Indian cuisine I've had in North LA

Walked in during lunch time, atmosphere was really nice. They were playing Indian pop. I ordered from the buffet, but I guess I should have ordered from the menu instead, or maybe they only serve the shrimp during their evening hours (I really wanted shrimp but settled for the butter chicken). Nonetheless, the food was good. The servers were appropriately nice, and always seemed to be taking care of tables or restocking something. read more

I have been coming to this restaurant for the last twelve years It's been a minute, so wanted to update my review. Very few restaurants that I go to improve and this one tremendously has At its new location the buffets are even better and the service is excellent. The best south Indian food in Louisiana. read more

The food, service and entire staff are excellent! We are passing through town and had the good fortune of experiencing this terrific restaurant. Incredible food! read more

I love this place!! My go to is Butter Chicken but we have tried Chicken 65, Tandoori, Chicken, shrimp jalfrezi (spicy) all have been delish. If you thinking about going check out the buffet so you can try it all. You will not be disappointed. The different spices brings out so many interesting flavors and heat. Also ask for the chips and sauces! read more

Owners are wonderful. Food is excellent. Atmosphere is relaxing and inviting. Food is always fresh whether delivered, on the buffet or ordering straight off the menu. I would recommend to any and all of my friends! In fact, we frequent there often! read more

The food is really good. To go portions are very good. Most places these days scale to go portions back for some reason. Customer service is pretty good. The wait time is the reason I took one star. They will let your order sit on the pickup table if you're not really paying attention and don't ask each time they put an order down. I choose to wait in my car now, so I just keep an eye out. read more

Chicken Biryani (10/10) with a side of naan. Great food! I recommend this place if you're in Monroe and have a taste of Indian food.

Food was flavorful. Every thing, even the dessert, though, was spicy I understand the cuisine generally has a degree of spice but I've had Indian food elsewhere that wasn't as spicy. Glad we have this place and the option for people to try Indian food, though! read more

This is the best Indian food stop in town. I NEVER HAD A BAD EXPERIENCE WITH service OR THE FOOD ! Allah have already blessed the food wayy before I digested the famous Goat Biryani read more

Absolutely 10/10, AW-MAZING food. If you live in the area or are just passing through, this place is a MUST STOP. The Butter Chicken is literally the best thing I have ever eaten in my life. The buffet is great for first timers, or any timers, really. You can sample a little bit of everything to find your favorites. There's a little something for every palette, even the kids. If you want some suggestions, the Butter Chicken, Saag Paneer, Paneer Pakora, and Biryani are my favorites. if you like bread pudding, you must try the Bread Halwa for dessert. Wash it all down with a refreshing Mango Lassi. I promise you will not regret stopping in. Once you try it, I know this will be your new favorite spot. The food just makes your soul happy. read more

The buffet is really good at lunch time. The taste and spice is so much better than at dinner. I find that when I order at dinner the dishes are more bland. But i would eat the lunch buffet everyday if I could. read more

The food was excellent, the menu choices were superb - especially the vegan options - and the person who seated us and took our order was extraordinary! He was joyful, knowledgeable, and extremely helpful. I can't wait to try out all of the many vegan dishes they offer. Taste of India is my new all time all around favorite restaurant! read more

The restaurant changed locations and has a wider buffet w/ small grocery nook. There is a spice wall, vegan buffet area, carnivore buffet area w/ several desserts, salads, raitas and fruit choices. The foods were nicely spiced, very flavorful and fresh. Only 4 Stars because the Tandoori Chicken was over-charred giving the meat a bitter burned flavor, and a placard w/ indian name of dish & product in english eg saag=spinach or paneer=cheese, etc would be a nice addition. It was really tasty and I will be returning next time I'm in Monroe! Yum.. read more

As a vegetarian visiting from out of state Taste of India was just what I was looking for. They brought out three dips and chips complementary to start. I ordered the vegetable korma and baingan bharta with rice and nann - everything tasted great and plenty of left overs. Staff was very nice and quick. I thought the little market inside was a great idea. read more

absolutely amazing. The food is beyond great! Lamb Do Pyaza made extra spicy is my go to with yogurt sauce, mint sauce, rice and garlic pita. they are friendly and quick! the market inside is also great! read more

My wife and I were passing through Monroe after being on the road all day and went on a digital search for a vegan meal. Taste of India looked promising so we went not knowing anything much about the restaurant. We were pleasantly surprised. The owner guided us through the menu and even offered to prepare dishes especially for us substituting vegan ingredients. The cauliflower appetizer was great: felt the heat! And our entrees were delicious as well. One of the ways we rate a restaurant experience is by how the meal makes us feel several hours later. I'm happy to report we both felt great! No food hangovers. I would recommend this establishment without hesitation! read more

Great buffet, food was excellent so I prefer a little bit hotter spice level overall flavor was delicious. I wish they would take out the knock off Chinese food and put in some more vegetarian Indian options under the main dishes. But otherwise what are you here again. read more

Been my favorite Indian food for years. They've adjusted the menu for COVID right now,(shame no buffet) but still give you amazing portions and you're able to leave with a doggy bag. Try the go i Manchuria appetizer for sure. read more

Great food! Authentic and delicious! The restaurant is family owned and ruin. The coffee is to die for! You can't get it anywhere else because they ship it straight from India. read more

In my opinion, this is the best restaurant in Northeastern Louisiana. The lunch buffet menu is changed regularly so you can try different foods. Dinner is served off an extensive menu and will leave you pleasantly full. Anyone can wrap duck meat in bacon. It takes a lifetime to master the complex seasoning found in the "Indian" cuisine and they have. Don't be afraid to try something new. It's awesome. read more

Very authentic Indian cuisine. The absolute bomb and I have not found a dish that I do not like!

The food is good. The one guy is friendly. The man and woman who appear to be the owners are not so friendly. The man literally started cleaning buffet an removing food immediately after a foreign family walked in. It seemed very rude. My husband and I have been eating there for about 2 months once a week. AS I lay here preparing to go again today I hesitate only because the owner stares at you when fixing food. They were drying dishes at the table next to us last week and the owner just kept staring at our plates. I'm a small woman and don't eat much but he made me feel uncomfortable. I felt bad for the Indian family last week that came to enjoy food but seemed very upset with that man who seemed to rush their meal. He could have allowed them to eat comfortably. Lastly the female she never speaks back. Have better customer service and there will be no need for customers like myself to hesitate to come back read more
