Tucked away in the heart of Hatfield at 33/34 Salisbury Square, Taste Of India offers an inviting culinary experience that blends traditional Indian flavors with contemporary presentation. The Taste Of India Menu is impressively varied, catering to both classic curry lovers and those seeking regional delicacies with a twist.
One of the standout starters is the Chicken Pakora, crispy on the outside yet tender within, offering the perfect prelude to a hearty meal. The Lamb Samosas are generously filled and served piping hot, while the Onion Bhajis deliver a satisfying crunch with each bite. For mains, the Chicken Tikka Masala is a consistent crowd-pleaser - creamy, subtly spiced, and rich in flavor. However, the Lamb Rogan Josh deserves equal attention, boasting tender meat in a deeply aromatic sauce that lingers on the palate.
Vegetarian diners are not left behind; the Paneer Butter Masala is delightfully creamy with cubes of soft paneer soaking in a luscious tomato gravy. The Chana Masala offers a more robust, tangy option, and pairs beautifully with the soft and fluffy Garlic Naan or a portion of Pilau Rice. For seafood lovers, the King Prawn Jalfrezi delivers a fiery kick and a generous helping of prawns in a vibrant peppery sauce.
Desserts like the Gulab Jamun or Mango Kulfi bring a sweet finish to the dining experience. The restaurant also features a well-curated selection of Indian beers and wines to complement the spices.
What sets Taste Of India apart is the balance between authenticity and approachability - ideal for both seasoned Indian food enthusiasts and first-time explorers. Service is warm and attentive, enhancing the overall experience. Whether you're after a spicy indulgence or a mild curry evening, this spot proves to be a reliable local gem.
