Absolutly amazing food! Our great friends at Taste of India catered our Wedding and even our family that never had it before ate every last morsel before the night was over! We love the buffet and the menu items are fantastic. I ask for a extra spice and wow is it good! Thank you Taste of India. Favorite place to eat and spend time. This is also our first place we bring our international friends when they come to visit.

I’ve been to Taste of India many times, and it never disappoints! Last time, I ordered the Lamb Thali, which was such a great deal — a generous plate filled with flavorful lamb curry, two pakoras, naan, rice, and kheer. Everything was well-seasoned and delicious. I also recently tried their lunch buffet, and it was fantastic. The setup is well-organized, with the right side featuring vegetarian options and the left side offering meat dishes. The samosas were crisp and flavorful, and I appreciated the fresh salad bar. Their Indian tea was also a highlight—perfectly spiced and, thankfully, not sweetened like in many other places. Overall, the food here is consistently delicious, well-priced, and authentic. Highly recommend for anyone craving quality Indian cuisine!

'Taste of India' is one of the very first Indian cuisine restaurants in Saint Paul, MN. Their food is great. I love the goat, lamb, and chicken curries! (In that order too.) All you can eat buffet is on the weekends from 11a to 3pm. Great tasting food!

The customer service is amazing, was seated very quickly. Told them I have a limited budget today so they accommodate for me to get some Naan with my meal! The food came out faster then I thought!! It's nice and spicy, just how I like it. One of the best Indian restaurants I've been to in the cities!! Highly recommended checking out this restaurant!!

Just had the lunch buffet and it was such a treat! Super friendly staff, clean dining area and most important super yummy. Pro-tip ask for the Indian tea, rich creamy tea with a hint of spice perfect way to finish meal with gulab balls for dessert.
