After trying a few Indian restaurants in town it’s clear to me that Taste of India is the tastiest. The food is consistently great. Even when I get it delivered the hot things are still hot and the crispy things are still crispy. They have a buffet from 11 to 2pm every day for 14.99. You gotta try this place.

We drive all the way from Corrales just to go here! It’s the best Indian food in the Albuquerque/Rio Rancho area!! We went for the lunch buffet. As always the flavors were rich and delicious! Nothing bland here! I always order the iced tea to drink which is super tasty! I’m not certain what spices are used but to me, tastes like black iced tea with a hint of cardamom and cloves. I absolutely love it! All of my family loves this place and anytime someone asks us about an Indian place I always refer them here! The service was fine. Waiter seemed like a new guy but the other gentleman at the counter was helping him by coming around making sure if everything was good. They kept our glasses full and plenty of refills of our naan basket! I Never have not even one complaint! I highly recommend!

After what felt like a long hunt, I think I found the best Indian food in Albuquerque. The balance of spices is just out of this world on their saag chana. Their rice is fantastic too. They can make a good amount of their dishes vegan and they’re just as delicious.

I love this place. The food is consistently good. I love their lunch buffet. Their iced tea is delicious. Their garlic Naan is perfect. My favorite dishes are the saag paneer and the chicken Tikka Masada. The service is always good. My only complaint: I get full too fast to be able to enjoy everything on the buffet.

Nice Indian food buffet! Two stars on the service, as the plates stacked up on my table throughout my meal without being removed, as most other places do. Might just have been a busy day, I would return.

Don’t even get me started about their butter chicken and mango lassi’s. I have had these items from various different Indian restaurants in the city and NOBODY COMPARES. The sauce in their butter chicken is to die for. The naan is exquisite as well. I highly recommend them over any other Indian restaurant.
