Taste Of India in Nottingham

We recently held a school reunion, and decided to eat at the Taste of India after drinking next door at the Johnsons arms. The booking had been made a couple of months before for 30+ guests and the restaurant contacted me a couple of times to fine tune numbers. We paid a deposit of £5 /head. On the day the restaurant had created one table of 16, and two of 10.There were another couple of diners there too. The place was very clean, and tables made up for our guests. The drinks and orders were taken quickly, and individual orders were taken, which were served promptly and efficiently. We also had had poppadoms, as you do. The restaurant staff were discrete, efficient and nothing was too much trouble. Meals were served together in good time, which is some feat of kitchen logistics. The diners agreed that the food was excellent curry house standard, and at £25/head including drinks was very good value . Personally had the king prawn passanda, pilau rice and naan bread.Good size portions and prawns were definitely king size. Well done and thank you to the Taste of India- see you again.

Fresh, rightly spiced and delicious !! Recommended if you are craving for Indian Food !

We were very well looked after by the new manager and his staff. The food was very delicious having a home made taste. Because we were celebrating our wedding anniversary, they even brought us a celebratory cake, gratis. A very memorable evening. Thankyou.

Let down by tonight's meal unfortunately the chicken was very dry in our starter, the flavour was definitely not the same in our curry as before and the egg nan wasn't enjoyable.

Booked a table for 4 to celebrate our daughter's birthday and had a really great evening. The restaurant is fairly small, but that gives a nice intimate atmosphere. There's a good choice of dishes on the menu, including some set meals. The service was spot on, and every dish was so good. There was plenty of food - in fact, there was quite a bit left over, so the staff provided containers so we could take it away - a nice touch. At the end of the meal, the waiters brought a cake and glasses of wine, and sang Happy Birthday - a surprise for all of us as we hadn't told them it was a birthday meal - I can only assume that they heard us wishing our daughter a happy birthday when we clinked our drinks - that's amazing customer service! All in all a really good evening - we're returning in a couple of weeks to celebrate our anniversary. Highly recommended

AMAZING. Second time I’ve been here, first time for my parents and they loved it as did we. Service is amazing. Friendly, welcoming, accomadating lovely gentleman. The food is hot, delicious and tasty. The peshwari nan is amazing especially teamed with the korma. It was my birthday and the staff brought me out a cake and sang to me along with some sparkling wine too! Such a lovely lovely touch and so thoughtful. Highly reccomened this place to everyone! We will be back for sure! Thank you so much again!

This review is based on the food. Staff have always been great, helpful and kept an amazing atmosphere to this used to be gem. I usually use this as my pit stop for quick bite on starters - curry sauces - naan breads. Now there has been shift in management/ownership. I am aiming this review purely at them! I have rated this place as the best samosa spot in town! But today the disappointment I have received when getting home, to find 3 tiny samosa from a frozen packet which you can usually find in the world frozen section at Tesco or Asda 20 pieces £5. Price of the Vegetable Samosa were cheaper than current price of £3.55. they were £2.95 and of a higher quality hand made right spices outsourced or not they were undoubtedly good. We are not bothered that you have changed the salad box to a bag but you have given frozen bag goods for a premium price. Today you’ve lost loyal customer who would happily spend £20 weekly on just samosas alone. I understand the cost of living, and business are suffering but this is not the way to do it. Handmade uncooked or cooked samosa are available at Adnan Sweet Centre 0.65p and also Naseebs on Ilkeston road.

I've orderd few years now on off but last few orders very disappointing curry was very bland and portion size not so good think new oners now put me off going again

Had a lovely birthday celebration here with a group of friends. Service was exceptional and I was so grateful to the staff for making my birthday special! This was my third time at Taste of India and they’ve never disappointed. Highly recommend.

Used to be my go to place on Uber eats as they would be included in most offers and thus make this the best bang for your buck. Since they are not included anymore on any Uber offer and now having paid full price, I’ve come to the realisation it really is just basic and not outstanding by any means while still paying quite a lot for it. Chicken tikka on the curries was too dry, peshwari naans weren’t filled properly and the taste was nice but nothing amazing. I’d advice anyone to pay slightly extra and order elsewhere cause the price quality is just not there anymore sorry! (and no I’m not a competitor)

Great food, lovely background music, amazing customer service. I loved my experience here and enjoyed the food as well.

Food was amazing staff so friendly and helpful. We went for for my dad’s birthday and they even brought a cake out for him was so nice will go again.

didn't taste like a pathia at all

Delivery was very fast, however what I ordered (garlic chilli chicken) was not good. It was like they had burnt the garlic and so the whole dish just tasted of burn and was not enjoyable to eat

Excellent food, excellent service as always.

Lovely food as usual - thank you Taste of India

One of the best takeaways I’ve ever had. Perfect! Food was ear, hot and the order accommodated perfectly. I’m half’way through eating but felt the need to praise these guys. Outstanding

food is amazing and I love it but having a child that will only eat certain food and spending £11 on nuggets to receive iceland standard nuggets was a shame

Food is really tasty we have ordered vegetable and chicken biryani it was delicious but So Spicy despite we asked NOT spicy 🌶️ !!! dude !!! we are still burning and drinking plenty of water 🥵😅

the food 8/10 times the food is delicious.. one my favourite restaurant to order from

A good time at this curry house. The food was really delicious, and the drinks were nice too. Price wise, it was okay. This place does lose a star for its helium smell - the dying and old Valentine’s Day balloons were going flat, and leaving out all the helium which actually made it quite hard to breathe. Luckily the food made up for this though!

Finally, a food delivery that feels totally worth the money! Excellent curries with depth of flavour. I’ll be ordering again.

the food was ok, I wouldn't call it exceptional

brilliant as always. food was hot and tasty. best curries we’ve had. our drink was missing but i think the driver just forgot to give it us out of the bag. no drama

amazing! best curry we’ve had in ages. ordered 2 meals

Decent price and food was great

My only complaint about Taste of India is that they don’t start delivering earlier in the day. We love this place! Haven’t had a bad dish ever.

Came with a fairly large group and service was friendly and didn't take too long, decent currys with discernable differences (not always the case with some restaurants!) and good value

Amazing food. Great delivery. Beautiful.

We ate in as a four and it was absolutely gorgeous. I had a chicken puree and the puree was heavenly! I also had a side of sagg Paneer which was equally lovely. Go and eat in it’s totally worth it!

First time we've been here. Everything was amazing. Got territorial with my food - too good to share 😸

Pleasantly surprised by how good the food was. Came a bit earlier even and with good customer service. Lovely portion size and taste. Recommended!

One of my local favourites, I often come with a large group. Most recently 22 of us enjoyed a delicious meal. The service is great. I've never had a meal here that I've not enjoyed

Great food as always , delivered promptly & politely. 5 stars

Great food, quality service and reasonably priced. Definitely recommended.

Excellent food and delivery times, can definitely understand all the good reviews now!

I have been Taste of India before, but tonight was special - tonight I brought my dad out for dinner like we used to many years ago trying a variety of Indian restaurants. The table was booked for 6pm via the app and we arrived 10minutes earlier, now we were greeted by two regular staff and was received warmly, professionally. Guided to our table, seated and asked for drinks. The restaurant is clean, precise but the only downfall is where the reception and till is situated running along to the kitchen, I feel could be blocked off by a rolling wall to give the staff their privacy. After careful consideration, we choose our appetiser Onion Bhaji x3 which is a really good amount for £4.95, then we ordered a lamb rogan josh which you need to order seperate rice and two plain naan, with my order of keema balti (which I asked if they could make, due to not being on the balti menu - no problem for the staff) also provided with the balti was rice and chapati. As you can see from the pictures, the onion bhaji was cooked to perfection - no raw onions and no clump build up, my father loved the little touch of salad and the wedge of lemon in a squeezer. So it was 10mins to receive the starter, which is freshly cooked and then about 20mins to receive the main - truth be told I have waited longer, so I was impressed with the time because all food is cooked fresh. When the mains arrived, it was enough time to be hungry again. The rice was fluffy, not stodgy and was not overcooked or microwaved, it was tasteful on its own. The Keema was incredible, not overwhelmed with onions but balanced with flavour versus the little kick it gives. Presented beautifully, and the food was so good I did not need to use my fork - thank the lord for chapati and naan. My father's lamb rogan josh was perfectly coloured and the lamb was a lovely pink in the middle, very well cooked and seasoned. It was so nice he managed to clear his plate, lol, I needed a doggy bag and throughout the meal the customer service was second to none. Attentive, polite, professional and smart appearance also extremely helpful. All in it cost £42.05, but I have to be honest I would of paid up to £60. It was a dad and daughter night, will be back again - also my father loved his food and he is extremely picky. So it can be expensive but that's life, what a food and taste experience in beautiful surroundings but I miss the pictures of the waterfalls with cascading water.

Came here with a friend after an evening out, the staff were lovely and so attentive and the food was great. Will definitely be coming back again.

Always had a great experience with Taste of India, Beautiful food, exceptional service and always great with the quality of food.

As a family we regularly ordered from here 20+ years ago but we grew up and moved on. Now back in Notts I’ve tried it 3 or 4 times in the last few years. Unless you want a largely bland and heavily sweetened sauce do not buy from here. The chicken itself is decent. With a few tweaks they could be infinitely better.

Excellent as always both delivery and inside restaurant very nice food and friendly staff

First time ordering from here and it was very nice. Fresh ingredients, all cooked perfectly and delivered on time.

Very good food,been looking for a decent takeaway near us

Changed from pancake to puree in the hot meat, prefered pancake but hot meat was lovely as always, chips weren't much good very dry and hard but tandoori was fab as was the shaslick

Fantastic tasting food. First time I have ordered from here, and will definitely be ordering again.

Always excellent food and helpful staff.

Tasty and plenty of vegetarian

Been coming here for about 20 years and it’s changed considerably. Ask what gin they had and they bought me a drinks menu, asked for flavoured gins , they didn’t have any, then told me they only have one gin, so, no need for the drinks menu then ! Asked for jug of water .. it never turned up and the salad, was brown and dry. Some food was lovely but for what you pay it should all be delicious.

A proper curry house. By that, I mean the food is the important thing. I don't need uber fancy decor that some contemporary Indian restaurants seem to go for. The decor is nice, staff helpful and knowledgeable. Fair prices for such great food. Portion size is great too.

Simply the best fantastic food great happy staff nice ambience 5star always

Had a Beautiful Meal last night Tasty Veggie options You've upped Your game sinc the last time I ordered. So Credit where credit is due - Couldn't fault it 🙂

So good definitely ordering again

Brilliant as always, food is very nice and I can’t fault it

Excellent service, food was lovely just how we like it.

Poppadoms absolutely burnt garlic Nan half the size it usually is and cold No pickle only yoghurt sauce

The chicken curry was too ‘sugary’

First time ordering from Taste Of India and it won’t be the last, the food was lovely!

Highly recommend this place, we've been going there for many years. The food, atmosphere and service is really good.

Food was okay, butter chicken was not at all what I expected, not sure if I received the wrong curry but it wasn’t creamy at all so a bit disappointing. Onion bajhi and naan also quite soggy and poppadum was burnt. Don’t know if I would order again…

Delicious food, just a shame it took an hour.

Delicious food and friendly staff, excellent service!

Good food I order from here all the time friendly to

Third time ordering. Food was great again & delivery drivers are friendly. Now my favourite Indian takeaway 😊

Tried the Chicken Biryani with great hope, but the biryani tastes like a mix of Dal (chana)rice & Chicken... Highly dissatisfied. Didn't understand the recipe of adding chana in Biryani.

Dining out late with my student theatre group to celebrate opening night, so late opening hours are fab. Friendly staff and amazing food, no complaints from us! ;)

The food is always great, and the service is top tier, but the food tonight was more amazing than normal - particularly the chicken pakoras.

We are regular visitors to kabir's restaurant-sometimes as 3 and other times up to 13 persons. Never had a bad meal. Always tasty and served at the table at the right temperature. Some of our group can be fussy eaters but at the TASTE OF INDIA never any complaints. The prices are very acceptable too. The head waiter is a joy to have him serve you.

First time I have tried the Balti deal and it's a bargain for excellent food. Thanks for the samosas too!

Nice welcome, friendly staff, very tasty food. Modern café style decor. First visit but won't be the last. My chana puree starter was especially delish. The ambience could be improved with softer lighting & turning down the mega-volume on the takeaway order phone. A bit of a shame that the food is wheeled from the kitchen to the restaurant past the loos.

Very tasty, delivered hot and on time, many thanks, highly recommended

Food was lovely. Restaurant forgot part of my order, but I called & they sent the driver straight back with the missing items. Will definitely order again

Fantastic food, one of the best places I've ordered from will definitely order again

Meal for two is very generous, includes rice, naan and poppadoms.

Super fast delivery, very tasty and great value, thanks.

Arrived late and was not very warm

Superb shashlik. I have to say that the sauce on the unusually deconstructed prawn puree was rather bland, which surprised me. However the quality was as excellent as always. Still the best in Nottingham.

Vindaloo curry and cheese garlic naans are pretty good but the quality is not consistent which I observed over multiple visits. The service part can improve too.

Cold,soggy bhargis and hard rice

We have used Taste of India regularly for delivery orders and enjoy the food. However, what always lets it down for us, and increasingly so, is the wait. Our latest meal (not a large order) took 1hr 15 to arrive and the delivery driver couldn't have cared less. No apology. We'll be going to a more reliable restaurant for our curries from now on.

Not worth money and had MSG in food.

Foods quite overpriced compared to other Indian takeaways but I went for it with it having good reviews regarding the food but noticed people had complained about the length of time they’ve had to wait and they are not wrong!!! Bear in mind the delivery slot was already a hour long wait… so 1 hour and 20 minutes I waited for my food. Let’s just say don’t order if you are really hungry. Nothing bad to say about the food 🥘 but nothing extraordinary to be waiting hours on. Sorry .

We use these alot but we just ordered as usual comes to £38 but on the web its £10 cheaper but when phone them ask why they say its out of date menu even tho its on there site then they put phone down on u proper custumer service last time using them after 5 years

worst curry i’ve had rice wasn’t even cooked properly. avoid this place

Epic food as usual! Always consistent and delicious. King prawns are massive and the phall is amazing I’d recommend anything on the menu have a great Christmas and new year

I ordered the garlic chilli chicken and it was really tasty!! It took a while to come (around an hour) but I was really happy with the food and it was worth the wait

Food was nice and well cooked as always. Unfortunately it was a little on the cool side. Still nice and would recommend.

Absolutely vile! Couldn't even eat it, curry went straight in the bin, chips stale tasting like old cooking oil, rice not one bit of flavour. Everything had the same weird taste.

Amazing food and friendly service to

I've been a lonnng time customer (20YRS), but this restaurant is now dead to me. I was in the QMC, sent a friend to pick up our food- as I was hospitalised and they made him WAIT OUTSIDE for 25min in -2°c AFTER TAKING HIS MONEY!!!!! The restaurant was dead, the reception seats were empty, he was tidily presented- oh yeah AND He HAD ALREADY PAID !!! They can get f%#&*☆ from now on. And by the way, Pasanda is now a guaranteed toilet bomb within 5min of eating- no idea what's behind that, but its the same experience of eating it from there twice in the last 3mths.

The food was very very tasty excellent prepared I’m feeling will order again please try it

I have been coming here for about 15 years. However, after tonight I won’t be coming back. This place has gone down hill. The staff have become so terribly miserable and rude. No manners at all. Missing items from the order to then send them out within 2 minutes after ‘re-making’. This screams microwaved and food poisoning to me. The place isn’t the same as what it was years ago. I will stick to Bombay nights on Aspley lane from now on

Attended tonight for a meal on my brothers birthday as we always do but tonight the service was terrible!!! Brother opened his presents which was 2 bottles of alcohol and placed them on the table with his card unopened waiter came over and said u cannot drink your own drink bottles was unopened!!!! Which we told and shown the waiter… once some of us had finished starters waiter came over leaning over people still eating collecting plates! After meals had been finished they then brought out the birthday cake plonked it on the table and then decided to light candles! We then recieved the bill and within 10seconds they was at the table with card machine to where I told them can you give us a minute! Never have we recieved such terrible and rude service here safe to say we shall not be returning again! The place wasn’t even busy had one other couple absolutely shocking

Don't tell everybody it's a little gem. Really looks after you. Takeaway the price is texted to you before you collect brilliant. Tom and Tina

Absolutely delicious. Best Indian takeaway I’ve had in terms of tastiness and quality. Only thing is it was a little bit on the cold side but early delivery and great food!

I usually have medium to hot curries, but we were eating with friends, so I ordered 3 mild curries, some starters and some bread. All were really tasty and everything was nicely cooked. As always, there was a friendly welcome from the staff.

Food was hot and flavorful, hope everyone don’t start ordering from them cause they will put there prices up

Always order from here! Curry's are so nice never had any fault with the food! Or service! Always happy to help if ever been a problem, I prefer this Indian out of alot of others I've tried, definitely recommend 👌

Always superb. Best in Nottingham.
