Taste of Asia in Newport

Excellent…Food is very tasty nd the staff is also very good especially Abdul jalil is very kind nd nice.

Visiting Newport and found this restaurant near my hotel. Had a lovely meal freshly prepared. Would definitely recommend.

We very much enjoyed our meal. Everything was delicious! Food was well cooked, very tasty and just the right amount of spice. We were down from Birmingham for the Newport Marathon. Staff were very friendly and helpful too. We thought the decor looked lovely. We would definitely visit again.

Fabulous food, the chicken bururchi was one of the nicest dishes that I’ve had in a long time . Could do with an alcohol license.

This is one of the best curry’s I have had, outside of Westbourne! On my travels! Great food and friendly service.

Far better than expected, definitely quality products used. Good size portion too. Definitely visit again when in the area.

A cozy and welcoming restaurant in the heart if Newport. A short walk from the train station. We did not have a reservation but thankfully they were able to accommodate us on a busy Friday night. The food was abundant and tasty. I would recommend and visit again.

I visited Taste of Asia restaurant today an amazing experience! The staff was very friendly, and the food was absolutely delicious Thank you for providing great service. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Our food was absolutely gorgeous (as it always is) Outstanding flavours gently extracted by a skilled chef who evidently takes great pride in the art of culinary expertise. Each individual flavour was clearly recognisable in every dish and the use of the finest fresh ingredients evident in every mouthful. Attention to detail on a level that puts Taste Of Asia at the pinnacle of Indian cuisine. Having done business with this family owned and run establishment for over 25 years, not once has it failed to impress. My advice is simple, if you want the best Newport has to offer in this type of cuisine don't even consider going anywhere other than Taste Of Asia.

I had to review twice, post meal with chef was great, I had lamb shank with a garlic, chilli and lemon rice 🍚 I'm coming back here

Very clean Lovely food and lovely people, nothing to much trouble.

Lovely curry. Thought the lamb shank was incredible. Just remember it is BYOB (although there is an off license around the corner).

Lovely curry house for a chill night. Birani sauce was great!

I want to start this review by being completely honest. The food was amazing! I would love to dine here again or even order takeaways from this place again. However I feel that that service from start to finish was very poor! Me and my friends had a table booked at 7:30pm and were given 2 hours eating time frame (which is perfectly acceptable) We arrived at 7:15, we were told we arrived early and we need to wait. We were very happy to do so, and at 7.45 we were seated. (1hr 45mins left) I will include the clock countdown as this becomes important. After being sat for 20mins we were approached top take a drinks order and starters (order popadoms and the bits tray) popadoms took 20mins to arrive and we had finished our food and had to ask twice during this for our drinks. Our drinks arrived 30mins after ordering. (so we have 55mins left of our 2 hour slot) When the drinks finally arrived, our food order was taken. 25mins we had to wait before our food arrived. During this time, countless takeaway, deliveroos turn up and are taken. This greatly annoyed me as it seems takeaway meals were a priority to seating orders. When our food arrived this left us with 35mins to eat! At this stage myself and 2 friends were hungry and we demolished our food quickly. As I stated, the food was amazing. My one friend is a slow eater. 20mins into eating our meals, I over hear our waiter approach a customer who were booked and he said (He was right behind me as he said this) "I will get this table to hurry and get this ready for you" To which I became annoyed. He says "are you guys finished now?", and went to grab out plates as my friend was eating! And I snapped and said "No we are not done! as you can see my friend is still eating!" We were not impressed by this level of service. My friend felt he needed to rush his meal, and we left, paid for our meal (left no tip). Would not visit again on a Saturday! food 5 starts service very poor! I hope my review helps!

Lovely restaurant, good food, good vibes

Tasty food cooked fresh so slightly more expensive than standard restaurants

Decent food, service was professional and very nice, unfortunately it was very busy so waiting times for table and food were long despite booking ahead. Would still return :)

Food was absolutely beautiful 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 would come back for sure!

A lovely gem of a restaurant. Superb food and although there is no liquor licence there is an off licence literally a minute away. Friendly service, good ambience and an amazing flavourful meal.

Outstanding, food was delicious, hot and with bags of flavour! Become one of my favourite places to eat in and takeaways wasn’t disappointed one bit! Will be coming back again!

The food and service was good. Great portions and good quality

If you're looking for an authentic and flavorful Indian dining experience, Taste of India is the place to be. From the moment you step in, the rich aroma of Indian spices welcomes you, setting the stage for an unforgettable meal. The menu offers a diverse selection of traditional Indian dishes, each prepared with a perfect balance of spices and fresh ingredients. I had the pleasure of trying their butter chicken, paneer tikka, and garlic naan, and every bite was an explosion of flavors. The butter chicken had a creamy texture with just the right amount of spice, while the paneer tikka was grilled to perfection, retaining its soft and smoky taste. The garlic naan was fresh, warm, and complemented the curries beautifully. One of the best aspects of Taste of India is that the food is cooked fresh, which does mean a bit of a waiting time. However, the wait is absolutely worth it. When the dishes arrived, they were hot, fresh, and full of flavor, proving that good food takes time to prepare. The service was friendly and attentive, ensuring that our dining experience was smooth and enjoyable. The ambiance of the restaurant was warm and inviting, with traditional Indian décor that enhanced the authenticity of the meal. Overall, Taste of India is a must-visit for anyone who loves Indian cuisine. The flavors, the quality of the food, and the overall dining experience make it a place worth returning to. If you're willing to wait a little for freshly prepared, delicious meals, this restaurant will not disappoint. Highly recommended!

The food was delicious and flavoursome. And served in good time. It was Sunday evening, so not too crowded atmosphere. Abdul and his team made it an excellent evening and experience for us. Will strongly recommend.

Excellent food at reasonable prices. Ate here on a very busy night. Food was hot and delicious.

Very good service 👌 everything was delicious!!! Thank you so much 😍

These guys are top notch…. Never had a bad meal from this venue…. Staff and the chefs are really friendly…. Great sit in restaurant as well..

Visited this restaurant and were absolutely delighted! The food is incredibly delicious, made with high-quality ingredients and lots of care. The portions are generous, and the presentation is stunning. We will definitely be coming back to try more of their amazing dishes!

If you're looking for an unforgettable dining experience, this Indian restaurant is a must-visit. The flavours are absolutely incredible, and every dish is a perfect balance of spices and ingredients. From the moment the food arrives, you can tell that it’s been prepared with care and attention to detail. The curries are rich and aromatic, with just the right level of heat, and the biryani is perfectly seasoned, with each grain of rice infused with flavour. The nan is soft, fluffy, and the ideal accompaniment to mop up the delicious sauces. It’s clear that the chefs here are experts in their craft, and the food consistently exceeds expectations. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy authentic, mouthwatering Indian food!

Amazing curry… tasty, spicy but not insane. Recommended 👍

Great food, staff were fantastic....If we lived closer we would be back again...

Really enjoyed the food here. Great vegan choices too, and good service.

Food was spot on and fresh, I was the only person in so maybe it was relaxed but one (I’m assuming staff) was sat on their phone on full volume I can’t fairly rare atmosphere as I was early on a Thursday

Great fast service, catering for many people. Tasty food would recommend, Kate says “the spiciest sauce they do could be spicier”

Great customer service and delicious food.

Notes from an experienced curry connoisseur, “that was bloody ‘andsome’” quilted 2025

Fantastic food and service. No reservation but sat us quickly and had a good meal

Delicious food and incredible service. A little hidden gem 💗

Lovely place. Very welcoming to three London boys. Great food, tasted fresh with servers who actually knew something about the menu, what they would recommend etc. Top tier value too. I’d suggest this place as your go to curry house.

Really good food. Lovely guys . Highly recommend

We've never had a negative experience with Taste of Asia, and we get home deliveries and also go to the restaurant occasionally. Staff always courteous and kind. Food is wonderful (never any trouble to make dishes vegan as that's our preference. Abdul the chef and owner is a lovely man who clearly takes pride in delivering great service and great food. Thankyou all!

Lovely welcome, the food delicious.

First visit for a dine in meal after enjoying their takeaway food. Attentive, helpful staff helped us through the menu. Nice atmosphere and very clean. Soft drinks only but you are able to bring in your own alcohol. The food was faultless,my Taka Tin Beef was particularly good, the chef came front of house to ask if everything was OK, never had that in any Curry House before,nice touch. Made to feel very welcome and we were both pleased with the standard and flavour of or dishes. We will return for sure.

Hidden gem of lovely curry. A table of 10 went quiet after tasting the food because it was so delicious.

The meal was delicious I will Enjoy coming back

Nice behaviour and service with best taste of food.

The Environment of Restaurant for dining with friend is very good and foods are too tasty than others. Staffs are well behaviour and polite.

Here for the football from Bradford and have to say, what a fantastic meal! Had the taka-taka chicken tikka, husband had garlic chilli chicken and son had chicken tikka bhuna - all delicious- would definitely recommend.

Wonderful staff and amazing food! The best Indian food in Newport

Absolutely stunning takeaway meal unfortunately a breakdown in the communication . Me and a friend sharing a takeaway special meal deal. I ordered meal then went to the toilet but remembered we was sharing the deal 😱so quickly returned and ordered extra mint sauce and onion salad to go with my 6 popadoms. Unfortunately received none called up to notify the problem after a difficult conversation. We waited and waited and still didn't receive any condiments 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

They found me a table when they were full, which was great as I was starving. Food was top notch, and the ambience was great - the guys couldn't have been more helpful.... highly recommend

I always love coming to Taste of Asia it’s a fantastic atmospheric restaurant and the food is great quality. Will be visiting again.

They are so nice human being and their food is awesome. Must recommend

Visited after reading some good reviews, and this place didn’t disappoint. Food was lovely, especially the Chilli Chicken Chat. Thank you 🙏

Great little place. Tasty food and very helpful and friendly staff. I highly recommend the "takka takka tin" dish. This dish is exclusive to this restaurant.

Very nice food, very nice service quick and lovely. Wasn’t very busy but it’s only a Monday so expected(nice and peaceful) great time here.

The special chicken tikka tin tin was absolutely delicious

This is a hidden gem of a restaurant in Newport. Flavorful food. I especially like their mint sauce. The staff are friendly and attentive, quick to get my order and anything else I needed. Nice hours, open late for a later dinner. They don't serve alcohol but allow you to bring your own if you want, and have a nice assortment of soft drinks and alcohol-free beers. Highly recommend

Fantastic meal and great food and excellent service due me being deaf

Specialty dish TinTin Tak was excellent, as was cheese nan. Well done!

We ate in the restaurant. The service was friendly and prompt and the food was excellent. The restaurant is very clean. Vegetarian and vegan options are also available.

Haven't been here in a while, came for a takeaway, but OMG I forgotten how good it was, the takka Dahl was to die for, I'll definitely be returning, , staff are always friendly polite and accommodating.

Amazing food and service, friendly staff, very clean establishment highly recommend if you like indian food !! I always have a beef Vindaloo which is always done to perfection not only that it's an open planned kitchen so you can see your food being cooked, you even see the chef who takes pride in the food. Would definitely recommend 👌 5 stars 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟

Food was so good, servers were friendly, Perfect!

Lovely food as always, will keep going back!

The curry was ok but had better. Tried it will not be going back .

Excellent quality food, I had the chicken tikka jalfrezi, the curry sauce had a deep smoky flavour and was spiced perfectly, with just the right amount of heat. I was impressed with the keema naan, the bread was almost crisp but not overdone. Lots of vegan options on the menu which is nice to see, Indian food works very well with vegan and vegetarian dishes so nice to see the restaurant embracing that. I have eaten out in several local Indian restaurants in Newport in recent months including Lahore, Shoboraj, Three Mughals, Hatti but this was the best. Nice ambience in the restaurant as well, the interior decor is simple but classy and stylish. This just became my new ‘go to’ Indian restaurant and takeaway.

Delicious curry very friendly service we will definitely come again every dish was very tasty This was our first visit It won’t be the last Very good

Lovely food. Excellent staff. Nice place. Plenty of ambience. The fact that they don't have a drinks license isn't an issue as you can bring your own.

The food is always fantastic here, enough menu options to suit all tastes. Never disappoints.

Delicious stopover between trains!

Fantastic vegan / vegetarian options. The mushroom biryani was amazing! The atmosphere is great and the service is perfect.

Fabulous food and super service. We had the Balti Walla Set menu meal and couldn’t fault it. The owner came and spoke to us after we had finished. He is a lovely man

Food and service excellent staff made us feel very welcome ,chefs food very tasty highly recommended

We are all golfers and every year we have our Xmas curry at The Taste of Asia. They never let us down. From the moment we arrive they are so welcoming and professional.

The food was as always fresh and delicious, they never disappoint. We highly recommend this restaurant and will be back next year without doubt. Excellent 👌
