If you want a good dining experience, do not eat here. You pay a lot for very little food and the food does not taste that great. The menu items are too similar to each other and the food does not seem to have any effort put into preparing it whatsoever. I had ordered a dish that did not include all of the ingredients listed in the menu and there was very little meat. I should have took it back. Also, the buffet looked like it had been sitting out for a long time with very unappetizing menu items that looked like nothing but mush and rice. I was very disappointed with how much money I had spent here and the food. I do not see how this place is still in business.

One star is a bit of an overstatement. This restaurant does not even deserve the one star that I am forced to give it, however, I will continue on as there is not a lower rating available.
Your first time walking into A Taste of India, you see what looks to be a well laid out, clean facility. Upon the waiter arriving at your table, you begin to feel a little iffy about the situation, as obviously, the service will not be great. If you are like us, you first order an appetizer to get a feel and a taste of what lies ahead of you. The appetizer seems to be decent, but you can tell that some, if not most, of the food is frozen.
We decided to continue on and try the buffet (bad idea). Not only was the buffet small, but it was full of frozen, barely warmed, dry, and mushy food (and not in any way I have ever wanted to try), but you could also tell that everything was made from purely frozen ingredients and may have been left sitting on the buffet for hours at a time.
The service was worse than anything I have ever experienced before. We did not receive refills unless we asked and only saw the waiter twice in our hour and half visit. It took a good 20 minutes for the waiter to even come to take our order for our drinks. The entire time we were there, he was pressing us to spend more and more money on the not-so-good frozen entrees they call a meal.
We had initially purchased a gift certificate, which looked like a great idea. It was a rip off, to say the least. With this deal, you spend $37.50 and get $25 off of your entire bill. Making your meal cost roughly $13. This was not the case. When they took our coupon to ring us up and bring the receipt, they had added an 18% gratuity fee onto the bill. Nowhere on our coupon was there anything saying they would receive an 18% tip, nor did they deserve anywhere near the $7 they got away with. When approaching them about the issue, they pulled out a crinkled old coupon that was most definitely not the one we had brought in and showed us where the "mandatory" 18% gratuity was located on the coupon. Not wanting to raise a commotion but still doubtful, we went home to check the website where we printed our coupon. There was nothing mentioned about any sort of tip, besides reminding us to tip the waiter (a small ad on the side of the coupon).
So, all in all, the food was terrible, the service was awful, and the restaurant (if you can even call it a restaurant) is a total scam, a rip off, and full of a bunch of lying scam artists. I would not advise eating here unless you want to go home to sore stomachs and the knowledge that your money was stolen straight out of your pocket, wallet, or wherever you have chosen to store the money that SHOULD have be yours to spend.

This was the first time I have ever eaten Indian food & so glad I chose this restaraunt. We chose to eat the buffet so we could experience different foods & the food was awesome. I will definitely be eating here again!
