Thank you guys for such a lovely meal on Mother's Day! We're visiting FL for the first time from VT to spend time with my wife's father who is in hospice care. We are very greatful for their hospitality, it really meant a lot! Chef Farooq greeted us and let us know that his wife is on the way and that hes short staffed. The wait wasn't long and food came out quite quick considering the staffing issue plus all their takeout orders. They were understaffed and busy as heck with takeout orders, phone calls, juggling parenting while running the kitchen and dining room and still managed to have great service. Much respect to his wife and their entire family, my wife and I run a vegan takeout business and it's tough to manage a restaurant, let alone with children but If theres a will, theres a way! God bless you all, we appreciate and understand the sacrifice it takes to make it work. My wife had to go and change/feed our youngest and Farooq's wife hadn't had a chance to wish my wife a happy mothers day and apologized, (it wasnt a problem at all) I sent her your happy mothers day and she sends you a happy mothers day back! Thank you! (I'm sorry we never caught your name)
Their food was quite lovely. Deliciously awesome. it was the best Indian food we've eaten, and we've eaten quite a lot of Indian food when living in Central NJ. We love Indian food and this was one heck of a treat. They had great vegan options and we're quite sad that we may never eat here again. Awesome seasonings, perfect salt content, great textures, flavors and aromas. The vegetable pakora was so incredible that we ordered six total.. three during dine in and three for take-out to bring back to the hotel. If we were locals we would be gobbling up veggie pakora far too often. The Dal Special, Baingan Bharta and Chana Masala was honestly amazing. We loved the tandoori flavors in the Baingan Bharta, it was quite the treat. The Chana Masala had the best chickpeas we've ever eaten, super plump and juicy and the Dal Special was just as great as everything else.. Our 3 year old son loves Dal & Pakora and he said "this is ridiculous" (in a good way). They offer quite nice portions and prices. I asked for extra cilantro/mint chutney and they gave us generous sized portion for our dinner free of charge, it was greatly appreciated. Be sure to go visit a Taste of Curry and help support this lovely family and their lovely local gem! Especially if you're vegan or vegetarian.. you wont be disappointed. And I'm sure their meat options are quite heavenly as well! Take care guys and best of luck, thanks for...
Read moreWorst Indian food I've ever had. I could not finish my meal and had to throw it out. Huge waste of $40. I called three times and nobody answered so I ordered online. Very simple. 1 Chicken Tikka Masala Mild, 1 Chicken Tikka Masala Spicy and 1 order me Garlic Naan. The prices have increased since pictures of the menu were posted (and there is no longer lunch buffets). The website said it would be ready in 45 minutes. I called again and a lady answered. I asked her if it was going to take that long or if it could be ready sooner. She was very nice and told me to come right over. When I got to the restaurant, it looked like she was working alone with two kids playing. There was one man sitting in a booth dining in and 6 empty tables that were full of dirty dishes that had not been cleared. She was assisting another customer and told me that she was waiting for the naan to be ready. When she was packing my to-go bag, I asked her which container was mild and which was spicy. She said they were both medium but she would get me extra sauce. I said I didn't want extra sauce and that one had to be mild. She went into the kitchen and came back with a small container of red sauce. She said they were both mild but I could add the hot sauce to make my dish spicier. I couldn't believe that I had to prepare my own meal but by this time my mom was hungry and we didn't have time to get anything else. When we got home and I saw the food I was completely disappointed because I could tell just by looking at it that this was not authentic. I was right. I've never tasted anything so horrible. Let me rephrase that. The bread was decent and the rice was just okay. The Tikka masala was shameful. Not only were they BOTH medium heat, there were chunks of raw green peppers and onions with about 4-5 small pieces of chicken covered in a watered-down tomato sauce. It tasted like they literally opened up a jar of red sauce that you get in the ethnic aisle at Walmart. The side order of spicy sauce that she gave me to fix my order tasted sort of like Mexican chipotle sauce with sweet barbecue pepper taste. The whole thing was awful. I love Indian food and supporting local businesses. The food doesn't have to be perfect but don't charge customers $24 for some grocery store "Indian Chicken Helper" and a...
Read moreI recently ordered chicken tikka masala from Taste of Curry through a food delivery service, and unfortunately, my experience was incredibly disappointing. What was supposed to be a flavorful and aromatic dish turned out to be a complete letdown.
I was greeted by a strong taste of canned crushed tomatoes, devoid of any enticing spices or seasoning. The dish lacked the creamy texture and tanginess that are characteristic of authentic chicken tikka masala. It felt like a rushed attempt without any attention to detail or traditional flavors. Posting a photo for others to see how RED it was! Not the golden color you would expect from this dish. Let's not even mention that they charged $21 for a single entree that was not edible.
Regrettably, I couldn't bring myself to eat more than a single bite due to the lack of flavor and authenticity. Would you sit down with a spoon and a can of crushed tomatoes and enjoy it?
I would strongly caution others against ordering the chicken tikka masala based on this experience. It's essential for restaurants to maintain the quality and authenticity of their dishes, especially when they are popular and widely loved like chicken tikka masala. This experience was a reminder of the importance of consistent quality and attention to detail. I won't be ordering...
