"Prices are too high for the small portion sizes and quality. Shame on me for not ordering online so I would have seen the prices and total but we ordered two entrees, naan, and two appetizers and they charged us $95.We only came here because our usual place (Curry Leaf in Harleysville) was closed. We found out the hard way that Taste of India’s Chicken Tikka Masala entrees are twice the price with half the chicken compared to Curry Leaf.My family usually eats all the food when we do Indian but the night we ordered from here the food went 80% uneaten. Even the naan seemed like it was from a freezer. Yet, despite the price gouging and food quality, the main reason I am writing this review is how smugly the person handing me my food was when he said “by the way, I made sure to give you two things of rice.” I asked, “right… because I ordered two entrees?” And he clarified, “no, you only get one rice when you order two entrees but I gave you two” (as if he was doing me a favor giving me rice with my entrees, something that is a given any place I have ordered from).In other words, their rice policy is that you either get a half order of rice or no rice at all if you only order one $25 entree. That kind of policy is consistent with the food we unpacked at home. The quantity of chicken between the “two” entrees was about the amount of one proper dish. I suspect they are making one dish and serving it as two, charging $50, and telling you they’re doing you a favor."

"This a completely vegetarian Indian restaurant ironicly right next to a meat shop and deli. My husband and I live two hours from Woodlands but it 's more than worth the travel and gas. The food is like magic and we moan with pleasure and grin like idiots while eating. The Kofta, which are spiced potato 'meatballs ' in a tomato curry sauce sprinkled with fresh parsley and cilantro, are so marvelous the English language suddenly seems clumsy and incompetent and falls hopelessly short. The samosas are applause worthy, they are potatoes, peas, coriander, and turmeric in a deep fried triangular pastry served with chili-tamarind sauce. The coconut rice is over priced but still very hard not to get and we 're always trying to figure out what the little balls in it are. They don 't taste like peppercorns but they are about that size, whatever they are they 're good. The waiter seems deeply depressed and never smiles but is not rude. The restaurant is relatively small and cute and always has lovely Indian music playing. The menu is a very good size and the portions are generous but not ridiculous. Even the fried food is never greasy and you always feel good when you leave. It 's mostly Indian people eating here so that tells me it 's probably pretty authentic cooking. It 's not vegan friendly, there 's only about two dishes without dairy but that is what Indian food is known for. I introduced my husband to this place and he 'd never tried Indian food before, but now this is where he demands to be brought every year for his birthday. Even my four year old loves it! Can 't say enough good things about this place. It had better always stay in business."
