Taste of India — Restaurant in Nottingham

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...

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...

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-...
