Went in for the buffet but was disappointed they did not have lunch buffets anymore, but they did have lunch specials. Tried the lunch special with the options provided. Food came out hot and with an amazing aroma but it took a bit longer than I expected. All items selected were amazing. The spices and flavors were excellent. The waitress was courteous, attentive, and helpful. Inside was nice and they had one TV with sports on. Inside was clean and they had older style booths and tables for dining. The lunch special I got was very filling and tasty. Overall I enjoyed dining here.

I ordered their daily special which is choosing 3 of 4 different meat and 4 different vegetarian dishes, with Naan and Dessert. The food is great. Service was good. Highly recommended!

The food was good BUT they only handle web based orders through a fax machine! If the fax doesn’t come through in the year 2023 they do not have computers to verify it. I showed proof that I had paid on their contracted-out web site and they insisted I pay again there at the restaurant for a “new” order. There were 3 other people there at the time in this same situation. This is called fraud; if you don’t understand the technology don’t sign up for it! Please enjoy the charge-back on your statement next month.

I went here with a friend for dinner. The service was great–no complaints. The atmosphere was good too. The meal was OK. I ordered a curry with paneer. Compared to other Tikka paneer masala that I’ve had in the past, I would definitely rate it a 2/5. I’m vegetarian and ordered accordingly. My friend ordered a dish with chicken. He also agreed that the meal was OK. I honestly would not go back. I did like the vegetable samosa that we ordered. I did finish that but did not feel like taking my leftover curry.

Norman is SO lucky to have a place like Taste of India around. Despite the large selection of restaurants in Norman, Indian food seems to be one of the few cuisines that isn’t as well-represented. I didn’t know what to expect when some of my friends ordered Taste of India for a get-together, but wow did they ever meet and surpass my expectations! In the months since, I’ve tried much of their menu – including their samosa, pakora, biryani, vindaloo, tikka and so on. Their entrees are packed with intense, but nuanced flavors and spices, and the portions are substantial enough for 2+ meals. My personal favorite is their chicken chili masala – which comes with huge nuggets of tender, marinated chicken doused in this rich, spicy and creamy sauce. As someone who cooks a lot, it takes something special to really leave an impression. The first time I tried the chili masala, I was literally left speechless – it’s the best thing I’ve eaten in Norman, and one of the best entrees I’ve had period. Highly HIGHLY recommend giving this place a try if you haven’t already!

First time here. Grabbed a to go order of lamb curry and chicken curry. Food was perfect, but just as important were the owners who politely greeted me and made me feel very welcome. Food was made quickly. They also use Order up Norman for delivery. A true 5 stars without reservation.
