Taste of India Destin in Destin - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

The ambiance was warm and inviting, making it a perfect spot for a relaxed meal. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking to enjoy some fantastic Indian cuisine with exceptional service!

I have tried buffet here and it is worth the trip for all those different options they provide.

Had the lunch buffet. Food was delicious! Especially liked the tandoori chicken, goat curry, pakora + sauces, and the desserts (beet root halwa, mango kulfi, and rice kheer)! Staff were very friendly and promptly replaced our water whenever we got low! Definite must-stop if you’re nearby!

Beautiful facility, great food, exceptional service.

It was our first time there last night and the food was wonderful as well as the service! It was my birthday also and the staff made sure to make my birthday extra special! We will be back!

Everything was amazing and great service. Clean big restaurant with comfortable seating and friendly staff. Better than Holi. We will be back for sure!

Great food, and the staff was amazing. We will be back.

Love Taste of India's lunch buffet! You get to taste everything! Great food and service.

You must make this part of your Destin itinerary! Don't skip the mango lassi.

The buffet had lots and lots of choices! The service was great. The buffet was super good. Pricey for lunch.

Great authentic Indian food! Buffet worth the price!

Taste of India is our new favorite place in Destin! The food was amazing. The cheese/garlic Naan is so so good! Service was exceptional - we look forward to going to the daily lunch buffet on our next visit!

Awesome food, great service and amazing staff!! I absolutely love it.

10/10!! My daughter and I were on vacation, and she wanted to try Indian cuisine, so we chose Taste of India, based on the reviews. The food was delicious! I've had Indian cuisine before, but this was her first time. She couldn't stop talking about how good it was, but neither could I. Hands down the best Indian restaurant I've been to. The food was flavorful, the service was impeccable, and the atmosphere was cozy. We were in Destin for 6 days, and we had dinner there twice. That should tell you how much we enjoyed ourselves the first time. The Aloo Gobi, Butter Naan, and Tikka Masala is perfection! I'm sorry we missed out on the lunch buffet, but they haven't seen the last of us. Again, 10s across the board!

Service was amazing! Food was excellent! Very relaxing atmosphere. I will definitely come back the next time I’m in town.

Taste of India is a restaurant I would recommend when you are in Destin. I went there with my wife. We ordered the Chennai Goat Fry for appetizers and it was amazing. For our main meal we had the House special Goat Curry and Kadhai Homestyle Chicken Curry served with basmati rice and that was amazing as well. Service was quick and very professional. The place looks amazing and organized. I am looking forward to experience more taste of India next time I am in Destin. Check this place out if you are in the area you will enjoy it!

Food was excellent and service is also i never had before it’s excellent staff. Staff manager was very nice and kind.

My husband and I wanted to try something different from the usual touristy spots and were pleasantly surprised. When we walked in, we got hit with this really nice smell of spices. There were a variety of naans and curries to try. We tried the bullet naan, rosemary naan, Malabar fish and coconut curry chicken along with the mango lassi. Everything was delicious!! It was all made to order so the naan was crispy and tasty. Also all the employees were really nice and made sure we didn’t have any issues. We would definitely come back again! I hope more people discover this place since it’s a great and unique restaurant among the touristy atmosphere of Destin

This place has to be one of the best Indian food I’ve had in along time ! Everyone here is so nice . The atmosphere is nice and laid back . Definitely one of the things to try is the saag and mango lassi!

Went there for a buffet. Loved it! Awesome service.

Great Indian restaurant. The best in the area in my opinion. They had a great menu, food was fresh and made to order. I will be back.

Food was great, very tasty and delicious. Attention was amazing and the place looks good and clean!

When i walked in i knew this place would serve me and my family amazing food. Service was amazing they treated us with great respect and we really enjoyed. The atmosphere was amazing. This place is totally better than Holi restauran. The food here is better, and everything is enjoyable. I would recommend to everybody and we are definitely coming back again.

First time dining. First off the service was great we had multiple people checking on us constantly, making sure we had drinks. Now to the important part! The food was amazing!!! I had lamb tika masala and chicken biryani. The lamb was extremely tender and flavorful. We will definitely be frequenting here. I’m glad we tried a new spot.

This place is amazing!! The service was excellent. They came and checked on our table constantly and made sure we had everything we needed. Very helpful with finding out what you like and to help make a decision because there is so much you won’t know what to get. Definitely will be coming back and telling others about our experience.

Amazing food and experience!!! A must go

Food and service were good. I don’t usually like Indian food but everything here was great. Shrimp Masala and Mango Ice Cream were delicious.

Reasonable priced lunch buffet ($22) with a variety of food and desserts. Very delicious and authentic Indian food. Amazing goat curry and dessert selections (mango ice cream!!). Definitely recommend if you are looking to try Indian cuisine.

The food was really good! Service was super and the atmosphere was welcoming.

Wonderful food and very friendly, attentive service. Highly recommended!

Excellent food! Fast and friendly service, and very attentive. Food was very flavorful, highly recommend!

Buffet has A lot of different foods for about 20 bucks a person

Fresh! Delicious! Full of flavor, I am salivating just thinking about it. I highly recommend their butter chicken - Rogan Josh was also delish. Best Indian Food - maybe that I have ever had - we’ll be back - often!

I went there for lunch today I absolutely loved it honestly think more people should totally try it, they were so nice as well .

excellent place . great food and very professional service. Jon F was great and very pleasant. we requested for jeera aalo which was not on menu. they even made that. this made our dinner special. dessert of the day : beat-root haluwa was very tasty - we had it for first time. mouth watering. if you are in town and want to eat indian food - this is the place to go. lovely evening . we are very happy with Jon F ‘s manners too.

We ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala, Butter Chicken, and the Chicken Coconut Curry. We also ordered the Garlic Naan and Bullet Naan and a Mango Lassi. It was all delicious and the whole family was happy! The service is quick and so kind! You will have leftovers! I highly recommend and we’ll definitely be back! 💙

Worst paneer bhurji I ever had in my life I’m sorry u all disappointed

The food tasted amazing. The staff is friendly. Will go again.

Delicious! I didn't expect a lunch buffet. I could smell the cooking soon as I walked in the door. Great place to go for something different. I will definitely be back.

Great food, great service, good price about $45 for two people for lunch buffet. Very clean, great staff and very friendly. Will return during our next trip to Destin.

Wife and I have been for dinner three times now and it has been consistently great quality of service and delicious food. We are thrilled to have them here in Destin and highly recommend!

This place was fantastic! John was our server, and he, along with his team, provided excellent service. He took the time to ask about our preferences, offered thoughtful suggestions, and made us feel very comfortable throughout our visit. The food was very good, and the portions were very large. We would recommend going here to anyone in town.

Highly recommend! Everything we ate was great and great prices!

Very good service! Food was pretty good and nice atmosphere.

The food was excellent and the gentlemen running the front were absolutely wonderful! :)

Excellent food, fresh and hot. Excellent service. Nice atmosphere.

I love coming here. Not only is the food amazing but the staff is friendly and very helpful. The buffet is plentiful with delicious food. Some of our favorites being the vegetable korma and the butter chicken.

The food is amazing. The service was excellent. Our visit to Destin was made better when we had some tasty authentic Indian food.

We recently dined at Taste of India and had an exceptional experience. The customer service was outstanding—attentive, friendly, and genuinely welcoming. Our server Toi was truly amazing & incredibly attentive. The food was authentic and bursting with flavor, truly capturing the essence of Indian cuisine. There were tons of options on the menu, and plenty of vegetarian options as well! We also tried one of their signature cocktails the spicy mango margaritas which was amazing and so smooth. Highly recommend this place for anyone craving delicious Indian food and a memorable dining experience! We will definitely be coming back!

Very good food, large wine pours and very family friendly. 5 stars!

Had an amazing birthday dinner here with my brother and our family. The staff was amazing and the food was even better. The Tandoori Cornish is incredible! Haven’t had a bad meal here! Best Indian in town

The atmosphere was great. It's also very quiet at lunch time. The prices are the best for the quality of food. The spices, flavors and freshness of the food are very authentic. I'll come back every time I'm at Destin.

Absolutely delicious, some of the best Indian food I’ve ever had, even coming from Atlanta nothing there can even compare to the level of quality at this place, good portions, staff are very friendly, especially João who is the best!

Best Indian food in the area by far! Staff went above and beyond to accommodate us. Food was served quickly and was the best Indian food my wife and I have had in Flordia! They were even sweet enough to surprise us with a free dessert (that was delicious) since we were on our honeymoon! 😁

Wonderful experience! The staff was friendly and fast. The food was absolutely delicious! We had chicken tikka masala. They were also very thoughtful and gave my daughter a delicious birthday desert for free!

Food favours and taste is awesome. We loved it. we ate twice in 5 days and it was just incredible food..ambiance was good. Service is outstanding.

Great place and food delicious and service excellent

Just had a feast at Taste of India. Absolutely fabulous. Great service, very clean and the food was wonderful. Had the curry shrimp and it was soooo flavorful. Also had the house special goat curry and the spices were perfect. It was a very nice surprise to such an excellent restaurant here in Destin. We will definitely enjoy Taste of India again on our next trip.

Tasty Indian food in Destin with a great lunch buffet selection including lots of gluten free options. Service was good and the staff were very nice.

Best meal of my trip so far. Girlfriend and I love Indian food and don’t have it where we’re from

As a vegetarian just didn't enjoy the buffet for the price, felt there was limited options and taste was ok for me. Wanted to love it. Service and atmosphere was nice.

I recently went too Taste of India, and it was nothing short of a culinary. From the moment I walked in, I was struck by the unkempt—dirty tables and a lack of cleanliness that me question the hygiene practices in the kitchen. The service was equally subpar; the staff seemed disinterested and inattentive. After finally placing my order, waited far too long for food that arrived lukewarm at best. The flavors were bland and uninspired, making me regret my decision to dine there. As someone who appreciates authentic Indian cuisine, I found the dishes to be a far cry from what I expected. Each bite felt like an exercise in disappointment, lacking the vibrant spices and rich flavors that define the cuisine. Overall, my experience at Taste of India was underwhelming and frustrating. There are many other Indian restaurants in this area that prioritize both quality and service, and I won’t be wasting my time or money here again. It’s disappointing to see such potential wasted on mediocrity. Save yourself the trouble and seek out a place that truly cares about its customers and the food it serves.

We visited for the lunch buffet. Options are plentiful and delicious. This is a vegetarian’s food dream! The service was great and the atmosphere was peaceful. Food temperature kept me from leaving a 5 star review due to some items not being hot. The flavors, however, are SO GOOD!!! Attached photo is of some yummy sweet options available.

The food was delicious and authentic! Not only that but the service was amazing as well. Everyone was so nice and welcoming. We got the mango margaritas and they were delicious. Highly recommend for some good Indian food!!

We had buffet, good food spread. Tasty food. Excellent Hospitality

The food was straight up TRASH!! All the sabjis were watery and distasteful. I regret choosing this place for a dinner.

I've never had anything worse than this. Being Indian, I adore Punjabi food. This Punjabi was obscenely watery and tasteless. We requested medium spicy, however there was absolutely no flavor. We contacted to inquire about a possible reimbursement after placing a large order for food, but they refused to comply. That entire amount of food was wasted and cost about $350. That wasn't worth it for this. The flavor was not worth three hundred and fifty dollars.Simply put, the service provided to us was rude and uncaring. This was supposed to be a five star restaurant. I would rate it with no stars if I could. It's a generous one star.

Delicious buffet. Very clean place and wonder service. Loved all veg and no veg menu.

This is my new favorite restaurant in Destin. The Chana Masala and Hakka Noddles are so delicious. The flavors erupt in your mouth and are so enjoyable. Also don’t forget to try the mango delight. You will not be disappointed. You don’t want to miss out on this experience.

Please never eat at this place because worst food ever you Indian food.I spent over $300 dollars and wasn’t worth for $ 1 dollar. I am Indian and I called back and manager can do nothing about it and I asked him let me speak to your boss he told me boss is not here.

This is not only the best Indian food I’ve had but top 5 meals ever!! The menu is full of flavor. The wait staff is as very helpful in suggestions and the spice level was perfect. Definitely coming back!!

Food is really good and fresh. Very good service. Dessert are really yummy.We loved food

This was the most DISGUSTING AND HORRIFIC FOOD EVER. I never eaten something like this. I would rather eat fast food restaurant because it taste ten times better than this. The food was watery and tasteless. I will never eat it again. What a waste .

The food and hospitality was awesome,if you havent eaten Indian food ,try the lunch buffet you will not regret it

We had been here with large group for lunch. Lots of variety in appetizers, main course and desserts. Taste was really good🤗 must try restaurant in Destin. Lots of vegetarian options for vegetarian people.

Great food and service. We loved the vegetarian options.

After driving for 3 hours we were thrilled to find Taste of India. Food tasted good and so was ambience and the service too. Considering we are vegetarians, we had enough options to make our lunch fulfilling & few couple of dessert options. Kid friendly . Would definitely recommend this restaurant if you are searching or craving for Indian food.

SOOOOOOO GOOD!! Our server was so kind and went above and beyond to make sure we had a good dining experience. The food was delicious and the mango lassi was amazing. 10/10 recommend

Great food with excellent service.

The food is consistently high quality and amazing! Some of the best flavors you can taste in the area.

I have been here many times for lunch and the food is always excellent.

They were all so nice!!! You should go if you are in the Destin area! Also- it is real authentic Indian food that is so yummy!

Great food, great service, great atmosphere.

Lot of variety at buffet. Easy access from beach.

We had lunch there a week ago, the food was awesome!! Love the biryani especially. The desserts are to die for, they are just awesome. Service was excellent, Mr. John was wonderful.

REALLY GOOD FOOD! The service was amazing and very fast. The food is probably the healthiest food on the strip, and there was no wait. The waiters provided excellent recommendations, and the food was fresh and delicious. It is a welcome change from the standard beach menu and every other restaurant on the Gulf Coast.

I loved the food and the service! There was not a single problem I faced. The service was awesome and the food was the same!

Amazing service and food! Beautifully decorated. The staff is knowledgeable of the food when I just give verbal descriptions of foods I've had in the past! They have dosa on the weekend, which is amazing! Goat cheese naan is super yummy!

The naan was very nice, biryani was good also

Best Indian Food at Destin. Loved the house special Mango Margarita Food was delicious.Kids loved as well😍

Best taste, and that house hit sauce is hot! 😆

Hands down the absolute best Indian restaurant in the panhandle. We live in Panama City and will definitely make the trip to dine here when we want true Indian cuisine. Nothing negative to say about this place, the food or the service. All was an amazing experience!!!!

The food was so delicious. Great service.

Food was delicious and we ordered mojito it’s really very good too.service and quantity is very good too

Very testy food and good service at all

Even better than the Pensacola location - and that is a local favorite! Great food and great service.

Mango Lassi & Limca in Destin??? Mind blown! This place is wonderful! Really great food!

Absolutely stunning atmosphere, my first time ever having India food so I can’t really judge the taste, but everything was delightful and flavorful. The cabbage dish was my favorite. Service was impeccable and kind in helping me understand the dishes. Fantastic introduction to exotic dishes. Thank you so much for your hospitality.

We thought the food would be worth a shot, but it was the complete opposite!! As soon as we sit in the restaurant, they just kept bugging us to place the order and when we asked them to get some break in between our main course and appetizer, they said no, we cannot do that because they were short handed and they might get busy later on because it was Fourth of July !! And literally when we entered there was 2 families sitting there !!! they pushed us so hard to leave them positive review on Google!! it was so irritating ,it got on my mind really bad!! The food that we ordered was completely bland. No salt in our food !!! Hakka fish was very sweet!!! prices are pretty high and we understand because of the location, but it should be little bit reasonable!!!

Beautiful place! The food is sooooo scrumptious 😋. They offer a buffets style from 12 noon to 2 pm! All you can eat Indian cuisine. The food is fresh as well! If you are in the Destin area, please visit this place. The children are also discounted! We ate here 3 times already! Very delicious food! The service is also very good! They are quick to do their job. The atmosphere is lovely too, very clean!! I gave them a 5 stars!! We will definitely visit again and again!
