Food was delicious and flavorful, we had the veg pakora, tandoori chicken, Kashmiri chicken and chicken biryani, we throughly enjoyed all dishes. Service can be improved on especially by the lady in front, she does everything and this takes away from customer service. The second time we returned with a reservation and was still given a bad table in the entrance, our reserved table was given to walk-ins. The lady running food and water is very sweet and caring.

A delectable place to fulfill your desi cravings in middle of a Vermont. On this rainy cold day it felt welcoming with warm hot mixed grill, saag (was perfect) and naan. Must stop and try

We’ve visited Taste of India, VT while we were staying at Port Henry, New York; just to have our lunch. And we made the good decision. The person who runs this place is very welcoming and kind. We have ordered a vegetable soup, vegetable biriyani and kulfee. Everything tasted so good, quantity of vegetable biriyani was huge, easily two people can have one order. It’s absolutely worth every dollar you pay. I loved the dessert, kulfee was awesome! Do give it a try. Ambience of this restaurant is so beautiful, especially the seats near window was very beautiful. Restroom is very spacious and super neat. Overall, if you are anywhere near this restaurant, and especially if you’re an Indian, this is where you should have your next meal.

Massive servings, great view, and it’s clear they get a ton of buissness with take out orders. This is the place that the locals must like and keep coming back to. Plus that garlic naan was out of this world good. And the one thing they do here that I haven’t seen anywhere else? They put ice in their lassi. And I now like it that way over anything else because it stays cold longer and that’s awesome. Thanks for changing my life

Fantastic Indian restaurant! Loved pretty much every course, even got my wife to enjoy LAMB for the 1st time. Delicious sauces, crispy perfect vegetable pakora, very fruity mango lassi, and then we were very happy with our pick of their India House Special (dinner for two). A bowl of tandoori chicken and a great lamb Seekh Kabab mixed with veggies. Garlic naan always delicious!

Best Indian food in Vermont. The lamb was tender and everything had wonderful flavor; so delicious! Mild is good for people who don’t want any heat. (that’s me) my husband loves heat and was not disappointed with the medium. Welcoming and very nice staff, even though they are always super busy. Decor is a bit odd mix of kitschy English garden with fake flowers and lovely Indian paintings. Some tables have a view of the river, which we liked. Park in the public parking area. Drive pass their parking lot and go about a block.

This is a lovely place. My friends went here to celebrate an occasion and were not dissapointed! The menu had a lot of options and all if us were able to find something tasty to eat. The staff was very nice and helpful with the menu. The food was very flavourful and aromatic. I would definitely recommend this place!
