Taste of India in Hambleton

Hadn't booked and just turned up. The staff were great, friendly and attentive. The food was superb and staff were really switched on. Really good and would recommend it as the best in the area.

A truly pleasurable experience. If you love curry and fun then you will love the Taste of India.

Excellent service, walked in late obviously close to end of service, sneaky fealing they had already finished however, Haas (apologise if spelt name wrong) behind bar said we could have takeaway and advised us on dishes, didn't try to over sell and even delivered it to the pub 3 doors down for us! Food was AMAZING! Best Indian outside Bradford & Leicester lads!! Wink 😉 Would definitely recommend!!!

Excellent food! Great recommendations for first time customers. Friendly staff.

Great local restaurant with friendly staff, fabulous food, great portion size and fair prices. I usually takeaway from here and it really is first class. If you are local or visiting, it’s well worth trying them out.

Taste of India is right up there with the best Indian cuisine I've tasted. Chicken Jalfrezi is my staple and this one was superb.

Always great food and big portions. Friendly team and obviously popular. Deserves its excellent reputation!!

Excellent meal, wonderful flavours. The service was quick and friendly. We had a pleasant visit and not expensive. Well worth a visit.

Nice place, decent food, nice staff, definitely be back. The food is around 8/10, but the best in Bedale.

Great service by Mohsin and Saed, food was great and generous quantity.

We had an absolutely fantastic meal here. The star of the show was the waiter, Haf, who had great recommendations and chat. The dhaal piaza starter was an absolute delight. We had the chicken spicy coconut and lamb Bengali jalfrey with lemon cashew rice and naan, everything was so fresh and every dish was so unique as well. Couldn't have asked for better, a rare find for a small town in rural England!

Rushed service & poor food. Wont be back

I ordered chicken tikka masala and chips to take out, cost £10. Well I was expecting a bit more than a child's portion in fact I wouldn't even class that as a child's portion, absolutely shocking especially for one of your regular customers. Genuinely guys I am shocked at what you've charged me, I would of happily paid £5 for what you have dished out but £10 not a chance.

Great service and the atmosphere I loved, the decor but it just needed a little more attention here and there I suggest to get there early as it gets busy and the food was packed with flavour! The Rogan Josh was great which I had you can also have a take away or eat in. The Jalfrezi was great too I would recommend. Sadly though it did take quite a while for the food to come after we had some poppadoms they were great with the side dishes provided but the food did take quite a while to come so if you have impatient hungry children sadly this is not the place! Great service and food though!😁

The best Indian food I have ever tasted. The curries are prepared with a wide variety of ingredients and are seasoned very differently and in a balanced way - a delight! The waiters seemed a bit grim at first, but then they were very nice and helpful. Unfortunately the restaurant is not nice, very narrow and loud - hence only 4 stars.

What an absolute gem of a restaurant! The staff are so attentive, warm and charismatic and the food was without doubt, the BEST Indian we have ever had. Sid served us and made us feel so very welcome from the moment we arrived. The owner/chef of 30+ years and his sons have put their hearts and souls into the food/service and dining experience and we very much felt it (with huge gratitude). The naan breads are again, the best we have ever had. I stepped outside of my normal and chose chicken chom chom with coconut rice. My husband and son had food envy when they tried it! Thank you for such a lovely meal, and for welcoming us into your incredible restaurant with such warmth-we can’t wait to visit again!

Saturday night in Bedale and it was busy in the Taste of India. My wife and I were there early and we were not to be disappointed. The staff were very attentive and the service was prompt. Staff helped explain the menu and their recommendations were excellent. We had starters, poppadoms and main courses. The food was fabulous and we had a great evening. Thanks to all.

Girls' night out, the first time I've been here the staff are welcoming and the food was lovely. I enjoyed everything about the evening, I had garlic mushroom starter and Chicken Malli for main, everyone got their meals together and it was hot so everyone eating together. I had Cobra as a refreshment, but they do have a selection of wines and spirits. The evening wasn't badly priced either, which is good.

We stayed in Bedale last night and ate in the Taste of India. We live in Bradford, which is often considered the home of English curry, but the food we ate at Taste of India was better than anything we've had in Bradford! The staff were great and recommended a couple of changes to what we ordered which made the meal even better. It's an interesting menu, with curries I've not seen elsewhere, and the quality of food and service was brilliant

Superb food, excellent service, staff are so friendly and made us feel welcome from start to finish. Definitely the best Indian restaurant in the area. We will be back without a shadow of a doubt.

This is our third visit, best Indian restaurant by a country mile in the area. Great food,service and laughter.

Just eaten here today and can't recommend enough. Staff are brilliant, food is amazing, highly recommend.

Great choice of wonderful food, excellent service. Only negative is that the gents toilet has no hand drying facilities, no toilet roll and the floor was soaked in urine.

Good food and friendly service. Lots of options for vegetarians with almost every dish available with vegetables or paneer.

Good food and value. Probably the best of the 3 indian restaurants in a small village.

Not visited for a little while but pleased to see it is still as good as ever. Staff were very helpful, offering great advice especially with regards to allergies and intolerances. The dish recommended was excellent as was the Onion Bhaji starter and portions were very generous. Good value for money, great service, the wine was also very good which is not always the case in some Indian restaurants. All in all very good and despite there being 2 other Indian Restaurants in Bedale the Taste of India remains our first choice.

We decided to try Taste of India after reading various reviews and we were very impressed. The service was quick and the staff very friendly. One of our party is Gluten free and she was well looked after. All our food was delicious. We will definitely be back.

Couldn’t fault the place. So friendly and welcoming. Had a gorgeous Prawn on Purée- then a delicious Lamb Roghan Josh - the lamb was so tender - and a huge portion. Superb

I’m a man of few words: food, service and hospitality was solid 10/10. My friend couldn’t decide what to order and the waiter suggested he chose for him - absolute success. And my meal is sensational

If you are near Bedale, Yorkshire, and a lover of high quality Asian cuisine, then you must book a table at The Taste of India. Our meal was served in record time, the service was friendly, and very keen to please. The Chief has managed to produce high quality cuisine, where you can taste the individual spices. You need to book a table as this restaurant is much desired, so very popular. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Fantastic curry. Really friendly staff. Had a random free curry in addition. Absolutely fantastic

Not what I ordered... Nobody else in there... Tasteless...

Great place fabulous food would recommend

One of the best Indian meals I've ever had

The best Indian! We used to visit all the time when we lived in Leeming, and whenever we get a chance to visit North Yorkshire, we always make sure this is on our list, been coming for over 10 years now, and the food and service is still spot on! My favourite is the chicken biriyani, and the garlic and coriander naan bread and the onion bhaji's are to die for! The lads are all so welcoming and it was great to be back again on Monday night for a top meal for my husbands birthday! The lads even recognised my husband and gave us a warm welcome when we arrived (we havnt been to Yorkshire in 3 years) No wonder they've recieved best Indian 3 years in a row, much deserved and we can't wait to come back again soon!

The chef is worth his weight in gold! A really good meal, not just your casual chicken tikka masala. Stacked full of original flavours and textures. We were there on a Tuesday, no one in. Tip: in general if you're planning a night out in Bedale, Tuesday isn't the right night 🤣. So obviously a strange atmosphere. But the owner is a great laugh and more than made up for it. Really good food... Echt!

This place is a wonderful place to eat out on a summers evening. Dine outside or inside. Great selection of Indian food The staff were friendly and polite and very helpful.

Cannot fault this restaurant. The food was delicious and waiters very friendly and helpful. The restaurant was full, which was a good sign. One of the best curries I've ever eaten. Thanks, will definitely return.

Fantastic food and quick service

Not great service we had finished our popadoms before we got the menu, then found out they cost us £21. I had chicken Pokhara and it was as bland as it could be, no taste at all. Main was chicken dopiaza and as dry a curry as I’ve ever had. Not the best curry.

Brilliant food, TOI stands out from the local competitors and rightfully so. Just a shame about the wait for the food so 4 stars instead of 5, haha.

We ordered a takeaway for our family was told to collect in 45 minutes. We then waited another 40 minutes for the food to arrive...1 hour 25 minutes. We don't mind waiting but please give out realistic times when ordering. Keep us updated that there is a delay rather than ignoring waiting customers. Thankfully, the food was good. Just a shame about poor time keeping and communication.

Absolutly fantastic!! Me and my Wife decided to go here last Tuesday Night (18th July) for my Birthday. What a change, the Menu has been re-vamped and I really like the way it's laid out now and the description of the currys is quite unique and really easy to understand what you're ordering. We used to go to each of the three Indian Restaurants in bedale on the regular then started making Spice over the road our regular but thought we would make a change after the re-opening back in May. We will certainly be returning, service was impeccable to say the waiter was on his own with about 75% capacity.

Decided to visit here after reading reviews. So glad we did. Staff very friendly and explained the dishes. We all had different but star was Chom Chom. Well worth a visit if in Bedale.

Been coming to taste of india for years and it's always spot on, excellent food and friendly staff. Honestly the best Indian for miles around.

Meal after game of golf. My two colleagues enjoyed their meals. I got a recommended lamb dish. It was just OK. Meat was chewy. Restaurant was unable to take card payment so had to go a a couple of doors down and withdraw cash. No hand drying in toilets. Had to use toilet roll. Service was good.

We’re staying in Bedale for the weekend and didn’t eat in because we have two dogs, so ordered takeaway. I think this was the best Indian / Bengali takeaway I’ve ever had. Really lovely food, very well cocked and very tasty. The restaurant looks nice too and the staff seemed friendly. I would definitely recommend and would definitely come back. We ordered the Tarka and Jaflong curries and can recommend both.

Excellent in every way. Ambience, decor service and of course food. I can not speak too highly of this restaurant. Keep up the good standards.

Popped in here on our first night in Bedale and we chose well. The waiter was very friendly and helpful (and busy, which is always a good sign). The restaurant and ambiance was clean and relaxing, exactly what I like when sat down to eat. The food was sublime…possibly the tastiest Indian food I’ve had in the UK. It was all presented well, it was hot and there was plenty of it….we couldn’t finish it all, so took the rest home with us (we were not wasting such fabulous food). We have certainly found our local restaurant and can’t wait to take our family and friends there. Definitely recommend a visit.

Disappointed with the service. Ordered by telephone, collected and then realised a curry was missing when I got home. Called back but was told the curry wasn’t ordered - although it was. We ordered the curry to add to the rest but my Husband and...

Great visit, attentive staff and the food was lovely. Admittedly my lamb was quite tough but it made up for it with the flavours locked in. Very good value for money ☺️

The food was amazing and service was brilliant. Everything was on point and arrived really fast. Great value for money as the portion sizes are big. The Chicken Gohrana and Dhall was a fantastic combination bringing out some outstanding flavours. I would highly recommend a...

Highly recommend brilliant food and service OMG that’s balti butter chicken woow with the pashwari Nan excellent can’t wait to be back in again 🤤

Reasonable meal with work colleagues...table a bit dark, needed torch on phone to read menu Waiter wouldn't give a receipt saying the card machine receipt was enough and if i wanted to take a picture on my phone I could!!!! card machine receipt didnt event have full address on In my 40 years of travelling I have never been refused a receipt, ever......VERY POOR

Got my trusty fix after my time in Ireland and it’s safe to say that I can’t go longer than 2 months without it. Thank you to the lovely gentlemen who made me feel extremely comfortable on my first experience of dining in Taste of...

Ripped Off. After paying £8.50 for couple of popadums and pickles which more than happy with. I'm in shock at been charged £2.50 for a teaspoon, yes teaspoon of Naga Pickle. Come on guys, let get real...... Taking the p.....

The meal was great, especially the onion Bhaji. The chicken passanda was spot on as well. Told me to be there in 45 minutes and I got there a bit early and it was ready to go! Overall great experience

Great food and swift service spoilt by the waiter on duty. The individual seemed like he didn’t want to be there at all. Took it on himself to keep my change, I then had to ask for it. He didn’t even bring it to my...

I discovered Taste Of India almost a year ago (thanks to my husband, I know you’re seeing this Robbie) and as we’re off to Ireland next week for the next two months, myself and Robbie paid a visit to our favourite spot 2 hours ago...

Staying in Bedale for the weekend, we were looking forward to a nice meal out. Booked table for 7pm, arrived on time and were given poppadoms and dips before a drinks order was even taken. Eventually got drinks for the table and were then left...

Wow, love Indian food and this place blew me away, from delicate curries to steamers, the chef created something special every-night! Masterpiece was the Bedale onion baji, huge, beautiful succulent 'starter', that actually was best one in my life, and that's some............!

Ordered food for collection, waited one hour in the restaurant for the food. Absolute shambles of a business.

2hrs for a takeaway, we were told 45mins! Regardless of whether the food was good or bad that’s not good enough. To top this they forgot one of the naans in the order. Won’t be back 👎🏻

Food good but service terrible. Seem to be more concentrated on takeaway orders than the people sat in the restaurant. 90 mins for 5 mains and people just walking out after their starters

We have a curry about once a week and have tried a lot of places (having been fortunate enough to spend time among the curry houses of the East Midlands), always keen to give business to local organisations. We had used the Taste of India...

Popped in on way back from a few days away based on trip advisor revlews. Food was acceptable but nothing special. The restaurant itself was a little tired and staff seemed to be going through the motions. Hygeine was the big issue. Despite being fairly...

Friendly and helpful service. The food was well presented with very good flavours.

Good portion size, good heat and flavors in chicken Naga. Naan breads are massive and have a good texture. Eaten here on multiple occasions, never dissapointed.

A genuine warm welcome Seated quickly, without booking Great menu choice Immediate offering of popadoms and onions Good selection of drinks available Great menu As per introduction super selection of curries freshly made available There are a few Indian restaurants within walking distance but I...

The food was absolutely delicious, it was only let down a little by the hour long wait we had for the takeaway. Judging by others we will probably order by phone next time and then go in, as all other takeaway orders seem to have done. Having said that, when we ate the food it was really good and we will definitely be back.

Lovely Family Run restaurant. They cater not only for the beginner pallet that want to build up their spice tolerance they also cater for the season curry veteran. For the more adventurous they even offer a real Bangladeshi option of curries that are full of flavour and spice which are all served with a smile. I look forward to my next experience here.

Well we come to this Indian restaurant tonight 4th May 2022 to celebrate my Birthday I can state without a doubt and I have eaten in some good Indian restaurants this place beats them all hands down amazing food fantastic service over all an amazing...

Served raw chicken twice. Starter arrived and chicken was raw. Took the plates away and returned with a new starter, chicken was raw again. We decided to leave and not continue with our meal.

We decided we’d give ourselves a rest from the cooking and washing up over the Easter weekend and opted for a Taste of India! With very varied tastes, this was a risky choice but the staff were very knowledgeable of the menu and advised those...

excellent restaurant, friendly staff, superb food... we went for our wedding anniversary meal and it was sublime. good reviews, highly recommended, TripAdvisor award winning restaurant. an absolute must

Excellent food and huge portions. We had to take home a doggy bag as we couldn't manage everything. The starters were great, especially the Prawn Puree and for the mains we had chicken passanda with coconut rice. I highly recommend this place. Service was excellent,...

Delicious food and great customer service as usual. Lamb gohrana was cooked to perfection, tender meat and well-balanced spices. Can’t wait to visit again.

Superb service and food. Very pleasant guys and the food is top notch, they really can’t do enough. When we next visit Bedale we sure will be popping back in!

Fantastic evening, great food, brilliant service it’s been a while but so nice to see some staff I haven’t seen for some time. Thanks see yous again soon 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

Raw chicken, which when pointed out waiter said would show to chef. The chicken was then reproduced with a denial that the chicken was ever raw save that it was now piping hot. Clearly treat customers as if they are stupid. Of course it had...

One table was in after us and out before us - I assume regulars are treated with preference or preordering was going on. - Otherwise a good selection, and big naans.

Amazing food. Amazing service. Trust me you won't be disappointed

When we ordered our food (Takeaway) we were told it would be a 50 minute wait. We went away and came back after fifty minutes expecting our food to be ready. We then had to wait another 40 minutes, all the time watching people come and go with their food. We asked if we had been forgotten and the staff member behind the desk just said no, it would be two minutes, but offered no explanation, neither did he go and find out where our food was. When we were eventually given our food, there was no explanation or apology. Although the food was good, our whole experience was ruined by the poor service.

Having eaten here a few weeks ago (midweek) and enjoyed it, we decided to visit again as a group on Saturday. Big mistake. Ordered main courses after poppadums but it took nearly 90 minutes to arrive. Whilst they were clearly very busy, the takeaways seemed...

It's some time since we had a takeaway from this restaurant in the centre of Bedale. Phoned order in and advised 40 mins to collect. Called in exactly 40 mins later and our food was ready. Mixed starters, and both main dishes were as advertised....

Takeaway whilst on short break over the New Year. It was superb -one of the best Indian takeaways we have had- would recommend.

Excellent curry restaurant. Great service. Great curry.

Great food and the staff are attentive, been a few times, took my dad who really enjoyed it! The menu is diversion with some really good specials you just don't see anywhere else

Always great food 10 out off 10

Very attentive restauranteurs who never fail to make you feel at home. Have used these for the last three years and the standard of food and customer service has always been consistent throughout. Definitely recommend to anyone new to the area looking for an eat in / takeaway.

Great place, large portions... The naans are so nice!!!

Great tasty food, lovely staff. Enjoyed a good meal with the family, will return near christmas when we are all together again

Ordered a takeaway. Food was delicious, and tasted authentic. Wait was longer than estimated (30 mins extra) - hence a 4star. There was a fairly large party in the restaurant which would have added to the wait but another customer said that it was a...

Food exvellent service awfull waited for ages

Ordered for collection at 19:40 and was told it would be ready in 10 minutes. Since I was 20 minutes away from the restaurant, I was expecting it to be ready when I arrived. Got there just before 8pm and was told “it’ll be a few minutes”. Didn’t receive my order until 10 past 9!! The staff just kept saying “it’ll be 5 minutes” constantly whilst I was sat there watching other people come and collect their orders! Communication was so poor, just wanted them to tell me how long it would actually take so I could have gone for a drink and not just sat there! It seemed obvious looking around that there was no leadership in the staff. Upon finally getting my order, I didn’t even get an apology. Awful. The food was okay, but the service was absolutely shocking.

After losing a bet against my husband on Saturday (Oct 9th) I had to cave in to his desire and go to our local Indian, rather than my go-to chinese and I could not be happier to be a loser! I have been fully transformed...

Legitimately the best restaurant around. Doesn’t matter what I get I end up liking it. My partner and I have been eating here for a few years now and will not be stopping! Service is always at it’s best and super friendly. I highly recommend...

Fab food as always, unfortunately had to wait an hour and half just for my starter to arrive a few weeks ago. But nice staff and amazing food.

Our favourite, such a good choice of dishes and always get plenty. We never go anywhere else. Highly recommend.
