Taste of Malabar in San Antonio

Great food, quick service, good price and great portions

cool place to meet and catch up with coworkers. the service here is great. they have a lot of positive reviews for a reason.

Their food is very good, and we live just down the street BUT the lady that takes our order makes us feel very uncomfortable. From the moment we walk in, she makes us feel like we're wrong for being there lol. We've been getting Indian take-out from other places further away just to avoid the interaction. Shame.

Food is amazing each time I eat there. I love all the choices that they have. They have lunch specials Monday thru Friday.

Love it!!! Small and cozy "hole in the wall " place, but food is amazing!

I only ate here once and I'm impressed. Their food is delicious. n.n

Very delicious!!! The food was fast and tasty. The server was very kind and even smiled at my baby girl many times. I have eaten at many Indian restaurants in the area and I highly reccomend!

very delicious! we had the lunch special (you can choose from two meat and one veggie curry, or two veggie curries and a Dal). the chicken Tikka masala was amazing, the chicken vindaloo was great (very spicy), and the mix veggie curry was not as spicy, but still delicious. we also tried the chana masala and loved it all. $6.95 for the lunch special. definitely worth it! it doesn't seem like much food from the picture, but we were full and we left a bit of food! great portion size.

The food tasted amazing! But nothing chases me out of a restaurant like bad customer service....

Love their lunch specials, great food & reasonable prices. Our waiter helped us decide on dishes to try. He had a big smile & joyful spirit. Gave us tea & checked to see if we liked the food we choose.So much fun the way they served our food.Hope a picture is included.We will be back.

Small, cozy place tucked into the corner. Hostess-waitress was attentive and friendly. Food was great and filling. Lots of leftovers to take home. Vindaloo has a kick. Tikka Masala was wonderful. Naan bread was good and tastes great with the sauces when dipped in or used to wipe up the bits on the plate.

Great food and an awesome price on the lunch special

It is overall good. Only number of items available is less. But service is quick and food is tasty. Price is also reasonable.

The vegetarian options are Delicious :-)

Amazing food, good portions, clean, good prices, and above all, great staff. Thank you for a great dinner. Cannot wait to come back!

Food is great! Price is wonderful! I highly recommend!

Never have I been disappointed by this place. The food is great. Highly recommend if your looking for some Indian food.

This place will not disappoint! Portion sizes are large, flavor is real, and prices are more than reasonable. Come here for lunch and there is a smaller selection than dinner time, but the value is even more wonderful! For the lunch special, you get to choose 3 dishes to be served on a large platter with rice, a generous portion of naan, and a yummy rice pudding dessert included. All of that costs less than $8 before the tip. For authentic Indian food at an affordable price you can't get much better in San Antonio from my experience.

Google doesnt allow, otherwise I would have given zero star to this restaurant. I felt food was of absolute lowest of qualities ( I actually threw up after coming home ), service lady was extremely rude. Highly not recommended.

Good food, good prices, and fast service! LOVE the lunch specials!! Never been disappointed in anything I've tried.

Delicious food with great portions for a reasonable price.

My girlfriend and I get the tikki masala and garlic naan. We love this place!

The best place in town to get Indian food. Small family owned restaurant. You will not be disappointed.

A good place to those new to Indian food

Great tasting Indian Food at a reasonable price.

Lunch today was my first time here. I ordered to go for one of my employee and myself. The meal was fairly inexpensive. This was the first time my employee ever tried Indian food. He loved it. I thought it was good as well.... I use to travel on my younger days and have had Indian food from other countries. This was comparable at a decent price.The interior dining isn't very welcoming as it is probably intimidating to some people with the white table cloth.... But would have to say if your here for dinner they have to sitting area which are comfortable and breezy. It almost has the ambience of my travel in the middle East once again.So this is my second visit for the day and must say it was good as well. I think it would do well if they have a more outgoing cashier/waitress.

The place had very tasty food ! The environment was very chill. For the dinner menu, plates do come with the rice and it is actually a very good amount of food. The mango juice was delicious! And so was the lamb and goat meat👍🏻

I agree with all the comments about how amazing the food is here. So much flavor and nice size portions. However, the woman who has waited on me the two times I've been there makes you feel like you're doing something wrong by asking for something, never cracks a smile and will hardly responds when asked a question. She literally rolled her eyes when my friend ordered something to go. I'll only be ordering this for take out from now on

The first time I ate here, I ordered the Paneer Tikka Masala. It was SO good! Totally worth driving across town for.

Love this place! Delicious, hot food, and I love that they always play Bollywood movies and music videos on the TVs. Pretty large portions but good prices, and quick service.

Best vindaloo I've ever had, do yourself a favor eat here.

So disappointed. Just as we entered the lady doesnt seem fit to greet any one. Secondly we were 5 people and wanting a table for 5, while she wanted us to sit at a table for 4 and wants us to adjust . There was no room on that table for 5 adults to sit comfortably. The lady wasnt even concerned about it and neither did she show any effort in serving us. We had to walk out instantly. She just made a face, no customer service seen at their place. Even when walking out she made a face, I wouldn't recommend going there if you want a good customer service. It definately wasn't a pleasant experience, food isn't the only thing one looks at.

Really good Indian food.

Quite place ok food

No kidding about the lady owner not very friendly or welcoming and I haven't ordered yet. Going to suck it up and hope for the best. Samosas was light and really good 2 thumbs up green chutney was spicy salty and tamarind sweet perfect balance. I ended up ordering 10 samosas to go. The chef special for vegetables and none vegetables was really good. The palaka paneer was a little salty the goat and gravy dish was awesome. The chicken tiki masala gravy was good but the chicken should have been grilled before adding to the gravy. I think all Indian restaurant takes the easy approach and not go all out too stand out. My wife makes better tiki masala since I take the time to grill the meat over charcoal.

I have eaten at Taste of India for years. The food is delicious and the portion sizes are generous. The restaurant is pretty plain on the inside, but that doesn’t matter to me—it’s the food that makes it worth coming back. The staff is usually quick and attentive. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

Seems to have authentic flavors, but not much to look at. I prefer Spice (off 410), but if you're looking for something closer, this may be worth a shot!

This is by far the BEST Indian restaurant in San Antonio. The food is fantastic! The service is great. The portions are very generous. Try the Chicken Tikka Masala, and the vegetables Samosas.

Awesome as always. Best Indian good I have so far in San Antonio

Small restaurant, but cozy and greeted politely upon our arrival. Our young server graciously helped us choose some delightfully tasty Indian dishes. The rice, vindaloo, curry and naan were a hit. Loved it and will definitely recommend patronizing this Indian Restaurant. A return visit is definitely in order.

The ambiance of Taste of India belies the quality of the food. The room was full of aging and drooping ceiling tiles, fading paint, old televisions blaring Bollywood style music videos. Menus were "ratty" with lots of sharpie marks designating items available as lunch specials.But the food was really, really good! The naan bread was soft and fluffy, the meat entrees were flavorful without being overpowering, and the saag paneer was some of the best I've tried- and I've tried a lot!If you can get past the shabby atmosphere, the food is definitely worth the visit!

Every time I come the food is super fresh, delicious and non greasy. Flavorful in every bite.

One of the few hidden gems of San Antonio. It's a quiet place to enjoy a meal alone, or with someone else. Coming from someone who is Indian, I highly recommend this place. Each time I come here, the food never fails to be phenomenal.

My FAVORITE Indian food restaurant. The food is so flavorful and the lady is very kind. Definitely go here. You won't regret it. The perfect hole in the wall. Please stay open forever!!

The chana masala is delicious! I live close by and this is the first time I’ve eaten here. I highly recommend for some good authentic Indian food and will definitely be back!

Mushroom dish wS delicious

This is so far the best Indian food recipes in San Antonio that we have tasted, and we are an Indian family. The food is not sweet nor spicy it is just right. The recipes itself is wonderful, the lady upfront I agree is not that friendly, she never really smiles but I think it’s just her personality. I wouldn’t judge the restaurant on the waitress or the person taking the order, the cook is the person that really makes the restaurant. The food is what makes the restaurant good. I highly recommend this restaurant, just taste the food and you’ll be sold. It’s about the food it’s not about the lady taking the order.

Faithful customer. I love Indian food however am usual picky due to price and taste. This place meets both my standards. The owners are very sweet. Restaurant is cozy and always clean. Food is full of flavour. Always hot and very fresh. Always a delight when dining out. I love how the menu is broken down and there is something for everyones palate. Being vegan it is usual a chore finding places that cater to my style that aren’t dedicated to only plant based diets. I was very pleased to find more than a couple options that fit my needs.

They give a lot of rice and there’s no bones in our lamb curry. Many places that we go to tries to rip us of by giving only a bowl of rice and leave the bone in our curry. Highly recommend this place. It’s about $10-11 for dinner, but we always leave full. Lunch is about 5-7 dollars. Many review is based on the lady that works here. I believe that is her demeanor and I don’t take it personal. I can understand how to some people it maybe intimidating.

This restaurant has weird and worst rules of no dine in for appetizers. The service lady was really rude in telling us to go out of the restaurant. Their treatment is clearly different for US people and non US people.The taste of food is also not good. Tea is 90% water only. Food doesn’t taste fresh. Paneer pakoras have just bathed in oil. The oil used for pakoras is definitely used for other purposes.
