Taste of India in Newham

This place never disappoints! The food is consistently delicious, and the customer service is always friendly and efficient.

Loveddd the idly and dosa!! It’s a must go!! The prices are also very reasonable!

I absolutely love this restaurant, and when I am in East Ham, it is my go to place. I had the Special Masala Doss, which I was warned may be spicy, but it was OK for me. Staff were very attentive and friendly, and although quite full, we managed to get a table straight away

Best Indian foods Tasty Amazing service Friendly staff

One of best Indian foods Been there once and the food was amazing Delicious food Amazing service Reasonable price

One of best Asian food Resturant Been there once Delicious food Amazing service Friendly staff

Authentic south indian food. Dish variety and taste is very good. Plenty of vegetarian options. Recommended.

Went with my Valentine and was seated at table 34. Ordered two Ghee Masala Dosa. Waiting time was less than expected. Dosa's were served hot and crisp. The food was good,the service was good and full attention was given to every table. Excellent service by management and staff.

Fair enough. This time, the taste was little less than usual.

Best vegetarian restaurant I have been to. The gobi 65 , sizzling paneer & gobi manchurin (dry) are to die for. Have eaten here 3 times now and the food is always amazing!!

Great place to enjoy.💕🤗🙏 Tasty food at moderate cost. Quality food and juices. Welcomes all the diverse people families children students and professionals of the world 🌎💐💖💐🌍

We Ordered Mysore Bonda, but received medu vada as bonda🥲 with different prices 😫

I visited Taste of India with my wife around 7 pm, and the restaurant was bustling with a queue of people waiting to be seated. We ordered the Thali for myself and Paneer with Garlic Naan for my wife. The Thali was impressive, with a wide variety of dishes, but unfortunately, some of them were lukewarm. The Paneer dish was enjoyable, and the Garlic Naan was freshly baked. The ambiance was average, lacking aesthetic appeal, but clean and comfortable nonetheless. However, the service was attentive, albeit a bit too eager, as the servers cleared our plates without asking. Overall, Taste of India offers a satisfying vegetarian dining experience, but with some room for improvement in terms of temperature control and service refinement.

One of the best places for South Indian and North Indian foods in east ham. The samoas and Gobi Manchurian are must haves. The premises are clean. Service is quick and top notch. It is not a white tablecloth restaurant but definitely a must visit place for food with family.

Amazing food and Amazing Service from Raja. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Most favourite place for pure vegetarian food😍

I regularly come to this place I have brought my meat eater friends to this place and I loved it too

Great place for Indian cuisine. Very authentic south indian food and great North Indian food too.

Excellent authentic Indian food. Flavours of all Indian cuisine. Prompt & friendly customer service. Will definitely recommend this place for vegetarian Indian food.

Amazing place for Indian food lovers. South Indian dishes are must try.

Good test of indian punjabi Food i would recommend punjabi and South Indian dishes

Went for lunch on a Saturday, had a ghee masala dosa and filter coffee. The place was neat, service was good, coffee was great. Unfortunately the masala inside the dosa was very poor - not much flavour, unevenly cooked. The sambar that came with the dosa was also not tasty.

I don’t remember giving anyone 1 star review, but this place really made me wonder what people love about it. I had come here after recommendations back in 2021, and visited now after that to give it a second try. Second try was even worse than first. Food didn’t have any taste, place looked quite in need of refurbishment specially the area where all the chutneys were uncovered just outside kitchen. We had ordered masala dosa crispy- sambhar wasn’t spicy which was only good thing about it as it didn’t have any taste. Green chutney is like coriander chutney. Masala has such big potato pieces as if they had forgotten to mash it. The only good thing is dosa to be eaten with coconut chutney. We ordered Punjabi meals thali- there was no taste in any of the vegetables & with payasam just like runny water. Paneer kulcha just had paneer in it with no flavours & bread felt like had too much rising agent so it tasted horrid. None of my family member liked anything about it. I won’t return here ever.

Really disappointed with the food. Who are these people who have given them 4 stars ??My food at home tastes better than this place. Food is expensive and mediocre. Not worth the money. Staff keep staring at your food as they pass by your table! The table and chairs we were sitting on was worn and torn! And dirty and sticky table! Won't go there again

Nice place to eat, mainly vegetarian

So the food is actually amazing and there is a large variety of vegetarian authentic Indian food. Service is great! Very attentive and patient! Atmosphere and decor could be better, also saw a cockroach next to the toilet which really put me off! Dosas are amazing!

Nice food, nice ambience, nice people. We come here a lot. I would have given 5 overall, but gave 4 because the washroom area is generally okay but could be cleaner.

Naans are not fresh. They look like the one bought from Tesco or other stores and just got reheated as fresh Naan bread are not that soggy and fluffy unless you mix lot of yeast in them as it sounds with the one at this place. They are certainly not made at fresh. Customers want taste and freshness and you can’t compensate this with the size.

This restaurant has various of vegetarian options, which is very delicious. We had ghee roast , medu vada and plain dosa which is very good in portion wise and tasty as well. Service was good and attentive.

This place is incredible. It’s like being in India. Food heaven!

We ordered south Indian meals and Punjabi meals , both are very bad. Punjabi meals all the curries are sweet, we ordered coffee but it not filtered at all.

Best vegetarian south Indian food

I'm ordering online food today but it's very bad taste why I'm paying Full money right so, why you give good quality because food like very bad anyone don't eat because it's greavy is too bad and no any spice and ingredients. I'm very angry on this. This is your service?

One of the best restaurant in east ham yo experience the native south culture food with right quality and medium species suitable for UK residents...every item. Is home touch..with right proposition of quality...I admire their traditional service the cook is 30years of matured service... I always feel like home when I visit this restaurant, employees are very friendly and they provide refill and extra rice for the South Indian meals.. I recommend for everyone to taste and more over always big seating places without much crowd...enjoy the peaceful dining...and best meetings and conversation...n away from the crowded people...visitors are very much working professional suits for their daily diet..

Great and fast service. Always busy. Food is Excellent

Food was good, but this was a very busy day so the service was compromised.

Don't Order Punjabi Thali or meals Totally Testeless and cold. Dosa was good Enough To Eat But the Thali was worst,Gobi 65 was cold and the other curry was Testless Especially Dal makhani. Not going to visit again Waste of money....

Absolutely fantastic Pure Veg Indian Restaurant. We have celebrated every festival at Taste of India for the past 2 years. Food is hygienic with amazing taste and the service is exceptional. Namely Raja and other team members are always welcoming and joyful. Recommended will be Thalis'.

I loved the service and the food. My son finished the full Chocolate dosa by him self. He must loved it as he never finishes any food!

Great food. I may even become a regular!

This is my go to place....Sometimes I dine in and Sometimes I bring take out....All dishes are very good ..I am not thali person but recently I tried their punjabi thali...I loved it....I never had bad experience with them yet as I am going there for 5 years now...Overall great experience...Recommended 👍 👌 💛

Crazy busy with chaotic vibes, but food was cheap and tasty. Could be more spicy though

Very caring staff. Taste is superb.

Rubbish! My dosa went to the table behind me . My whole family eaten. I chased up the waiter and said where is my food. He said coming. 20 mins later my food arrives Then no discount given! The waiter didn't even want to do his job. This was on Wednesday the 16th oct.

Unfortunately for people who don't eat onion or garlic, this place has no options. Only found out after we waited for half an hour in line for a table. Very disappointing since, you think it's a pure veg place, they would understand our requirements.

One of the best canteen style restaurants in London, great service, brilliant food and always a good atmosphere.

Amazing ambience delicious authentic Indian food. We are all going there it’s been 10 years still the same taste. My kids always enjoy food and they have amazing desserts and milkshakes. We absolutely love it🥰

Very nice place for family eating, welcoming staff tasty and delicious food

Really bad service i am regular coustmer usually i ate at the restaurant but today i did uber first they missed the item in order and then gives the runied food seriously please coustmers are paying enough like charges are high but whats with quality why gives spoiled one to eat which causes sickness on spot rasmalai is totally discusting ….dosa is not properly cooked .👎🏻

Extremely disappointed with my order. After a tiring day, I was looking forward to enjoying my meal, but the mango lassi never arrived, and the rasmalai was completely spoiled. It ruined the experience. I expected better quality and attention to detail. Won’t be ordering from here again!

Today we had idiyappam with kuruma, paneer noodles, special meals thali, taste is nice.

2 times I have visited. taste india with a family friends but Unfortunately tell you the truth and we always leave . Always leave with diahorea Symptoms

Good option for vegetarians. Lots of options to pick from!!

I've had the South Indian meals and Plain Utthapam. I honestly didn't like both of them. The THALI didn't taste good, the rasam wasn't tangy and was watery fullu, the sambar wasn't flavourful, the soup was like water and gobi 65 was extremely oily. The chutneys for Utthapam didn't taste great and I felt it wasn't cooked properly I could feel the raw batter taste inside though the outside part was but yeah two things that were better was their Lime Soda and Saunf. Loved them

Taste of India Pure Vegetarian in East Ham is truly unbeatable when it comes to vegetarian cuisine. The service, food quality, and overall experience are outstanding. I've had the pleasure of meeting the owner, an incredibly humble person, a few times, which adds a personal touch to the place. This restaurant offers a wide variety of vegetarian dishes, and the staff are well-trained to provide excellent customer care. I usually opt for takeaway, and my personal favorites are the paneer tikka masala, gobi manchurian, and paratha—just thinking about them makes my mouth water! They’ve been in business for many years, and the standard has never dropped. The restaurant is always busy on weekends, which speaks volumes about their popularity. Their food is consistently delicious, and I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for top-notch vegetarian options.

Excellent food V reasonable prices Bathrooms need looking at

Massive choice of food. Great tasting food. Nice atmosphere too.

Indian meal options are very good, but white rice is served, but it is not basmati.

Consistently Good authentic southern food for more than 15 years.. Although it's got significantly more expensive..

Tasty Asian food availability. Amazing services and great taste of food from northern to southern India.

Absolutely amazing place, always come here with my family and we only have good things to say about this place. The food is clean and tastes amazing. The service here is also good. We ordered food for 5 individuals for only £49, so its definitely worth coming here.

Great place for authentic Indian food. Gobi Manchurian was better than expectations.

The best Indian food in London.

Awesome food. Always visit it whenever possible

Superb and absolutely authentic Indian food. I must say that the food served here is so much better than an average Indian restaurant in India. Cannot recommend this place enough. I go here whenever I am feeling homesick. The naan and dosa are both equally good and don't be misguided by looks. The North Indian food here is as good as the South Indian cuisine. Just order anything on the menu, and you will not be disappointed. Highly recommend Honey Devil Potatoes.

I ordered the veg manchurian with gravy from uber eats,Quantity was not enough plus food quality is poor all it was tasting is tomato ketchup and after eating got loose motion instantly,i can never recommend to eat anymore to anyone in this restaurant very poor quality food and not even taste what you order .

The dishes taste amazing! I can totally recommend it, we always visit it at least once when in London!

we ordered Punjabi sabji and naan test was not good it's feeling like we eat Punjabi sabji

I have been here before and it looks like they have updated their menu. We ordered masala dosa and schezwan noodles which was very nice and spicy

Amazing food & service.. 1. Mushroom and garlic Naan - 5/5 2. Chana bhatura - 4/5 (chana quantity is too less for bhatura size) 3. North Indian thali - 2.5/5 (chapati, mix veg, saag were a let down) 4. Salted lassi - 4/5 5. Salted fresh lime soda - 4/5 6. Masala dosa - 2/5 (masala too bland, no taste..same with sambhar) 7. Jigarthanda - 5/5 (must try for cold coffee lovers)

Worst taste and quality,service is too late to serve a dish,I not even gave 1star ,worst experience,management need to look into it

Today I eat Punjabi thali it’s all waste of money old food and I put same like is it and no good food all fridge

Excellent place for South Indian Veg food - with plenty of options! And, we always receive an amazing customer service from Madurai Raja - lovely man 🙂

Went for quick bite with my sister, mum and 8 year old son. The waiting staff are really friendly the atmosphere of the restaurant is light and airy, however the food did not live up to standards. I ordered Chili Paneer for starters which was not too bad, but then it was all downhill from here onwards. I ordered the Punjabi meal which comes with 11 dishes at £10.90, I thought I was getting more than worth my money. However when the thali arrived out of the 11 dishes only 3 dishes were edible there were two of the same food, which was yoghurt. All the food ordered had sugar. The saag, butter paneer, veg curry, 2 x yoghurt, daal Makhani, the gobi 65 was burnt, in the menu it said there was pakoda curry, which did not arrive, also a gulab jamun and some kind of halwa. I could only eat three because the rest of the food sweet like a dessert. The portion sizes were 1 or 2 table spoon of each dish, so overall I had very little to eat and in the end did not eat my moneys worth. My sister ordered alloo pratha which had no flavour in it was stuffed with red coloured mixture which looked and tasted odd. My mum ordered upma with some chutneys, again in very small dish, she ran out of chutneys mid way her meal. The waiter was very kind to offer he second round of chutneys. The best dish on the table was my 8 year old sons schezwan mushroom noodles, which were quite delicious. I would rate this restaurant 1 star out of 5.

This place was so tasty. It is busy, but worth it as the food is good. The Paneer tikka masala is nice, service is good and prices are reasonable.

I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with the seating arrangement process at Taste of india, specifically regarding the behavior of the person responsible for this task. His conduct was extremely rude and the worst I have encountered at your establishment. Despite there being no one in the waiting queue or on the waiting list, he reserved several tables without any clear reason. These tables had no reservations, yet he refused to allow guests to sit there, instead directing them to uncomfortable areas. This experience has left a negative impression on me, and I have decided that this will be my last visit to Taste of india. I urge the administration to review this issue, as it seems to affect many customers' experiences negatively. I do not know the name of the individual, but I hope this matter can be addressed to improve the overall customer experience at your restaurant.

This place is best if you are looking for authentic north Indian food. Close to east ham tube station.

Excellent food and service was little slow for some dishes

Lovely vegetarian place, was seated straight away and was asked what we'd like pretty soon after. The guy that served us was patient, attentive, friendly and knowledgeable. Listened to what we want and then delivered. Staff were also very attentive throughout our meal. An extremely pleasant service and we all left extremely satisfied. If you're in the area, pop in and have a nice meal!

Been going here since opening. At that time it was unique and felt like a 5 star restaurant. With so much competition, it still holds its name for high quality food and amazing service. Even when at full capacity, which is often, they cater with pride

Visited this place after a few years and sadly the quality and taste of the food has certainly gone down. The masala is the dosa did not have enough salt and the batter seemed tasteless. It was disappointing to see the quality go down but prices have risen over the years. The service however is quite decent/Ok.

I have been a regular customer for several years now and each time the quick service and beyond delicious food amazes me. I 100% recommend this restaurant and as a bonus they are fully vegetarian.

First visit nice place but parking is nightmare.

Staff behaviour is very rude their Staff is makeing fun in their native language. Make fun of hind language in their local south Indian language.

Mr Arjun Paachen, Thank you for your review 😄. My name is not Ganesh. My name is Balachandran Sivakanesh. You visited with two friends. I had given you a six seater. I have informed you that your preferred seat has been booked by another person. It is not my fault that you did not intervene in that matter. I will try to give you preferred seat next time only if no other person has booked. Thank you again for your review. Thanks, Balachandran Sivakanesh.

Today I really face very bad conversation you’re staff.I am not satisfied your service.

Mr. Ganesh is an absolute disgrace for this restaurant. Other than that food and service was very nice.

Disgusting and tasteless food , ordered south inian meal rice were half cooked every Curry had chilli and no taste at all horrible experience it was no where near authentic south indian food the staff was too casual asked thrice for coke and the girl and boy who were serving us looked at each other and laughed and walked away , gave feedback to the cashier he was not interested don't think i will go there again. To the owner, if you can check with your cashier also ask him hiw did he respond to the complaint , now to your question what I was expecting from south indian food was decent cooked rice with decent tasteful curries not just boiled tasteless water in the name of soup and curries filled with chilly and no taste I believe you have not eaten proper south indian meal and a punjabi meal hence the quality of food you serve and to our laugh the only difference in between the thalis were once came with chapatis . When you spend £150 you expect something good time for reality check......

Watse of time and waste of money Its taste is very disgusting and yukky i would suggest you all don't order panir tikka sizzler its very bad taste and pls also don't order paneer butter masala bcz its worthy taste

Best Indian food in London! ♥️ We ordered a lot of dishes and we were not at all disappointed in any of them. All of the staff is generous and helpful.

I recently dined at this restaurant and had a varied experience. The podi dosa was exceptional, while the idly, vada, and sambar were enjoyable. The chutneys were inconsistent, and the drinks were disappointing. The dessert was a highlight. The ambiance felt authentic, though hygiene could be improved. Service was generally attentive, but not all staff were well-informed. Detailed Review Dish-wise: Podi Dosa (5/5): Outstanding in both portion size and flavor. Idly (3.5/5): Good but not remarkable. Vada (4/5): Flavorful and satisfying. Sambar (4.5/5): Delicious and complemented the dishes well. Red Tomato Chutney (1.5/5): Bland and tasted slightly off. Coconut Chutney (3.5/5): Above average but not exceptional. Green Chutney (3/5): Average in taste. Mysore Masala Dosa (4/5): Tasty but didn't quite meet my expectations. Veg Uttapam (4.5/5): Light, fluffy, and surprisingly delicious. Mint and Lemon Mojito & Ginger Mojito (1/5) : Both drinks were disappointing, tasting like they were made from syrup rather than fresh ingredients. Dessert (4.5/5): Delightful and a specialty of the restaurant. **Overall Experience and Service** The restaurant exudes an authentic Indian atmosphere, enhancing the dining experience. However, cleanliness was a concern, with spider webs and slightly dirty tables and cutlery detracting from the overall experience. Most of the staff were attentive and provided good service, though one server seemed either inexperienced or uninterested, lacking knowledge about the dishes. Overall, it was a mixed experience with notable highlights and areas needing improvement.

Food is excellent and caters to desi taste buds.

Good food, all vegetarian but gluten free (coeliac) is limited. I believe high probability of cross contamination especially on fried options. Overall if you don't have any dietary requirements it's a good place to eat.

Great place to try multiple Indian cuisines. Will definitely revisit.

I went in to get a pomegranate juice. I had to pay £6.80 although the menu says £5.50. It seems the extra was for the take away cup. It’s warm and I am thirsty, I don’t want to argue or go anywhere else, I just need to drink something. I pay and wait for the juice. 10-20 mins later I get the take away with something that tastes like pomegranate juice - more water and hardly any pome in it. Even a bottle of water doesn’t cost so much. This is day light looting! [note : I get back to the car where my husband is waiting. I give him the juice without telling what it is. He drinks it and thinks it’s flavoured grape juice. Imagine the quality of the juice.]

I really enjoyed the food. The taste was same as of Indian restaurant. I preferred to eat spicy and it was. After a long time, I had authentic spicy Gobi. Dosa, medhu vada with sambhar, Schezwan noodles were too good. I felt like I'm in India. I highly recommend you to taste the food here.

Punjabi Thali was bigger than I anticipated. Great value for money. Also much better dosa than opposite restaurant

Very authentic taste of India. Great restaurant, very reasonable prices and being a pure vegetarian restaurant, there is so much to choose from within the menu. It was extremely busy place, but the food was served quickly. The food were simply tasty - huge amount of flavour in these dishes and very filling whilst being reasonably healthy. Good costumer service, staff were fast and attentive.

This was probably the busiest time for the restaurant but the staff were amazing, taste is great with wide range of items available. Definitely worth trying. Zia, being the owner has provided the best service to Everyone

Service is extremely good and we were checked on multiple times... However the food itself wasn't upto our expectations. I ordered hot chutney masala dose.. however it was not crisp as it should be...soft and soggy..may be Tamil Nadu style... Am used to Karnataka style dose!! Buttermilk was somewhat thick like lassi.. and the achari paneer was average. Not really sure what this restaurant specialises in.. as it says Taste of India...
