Taste of India is a great buffet place with some basic standard Indian dishes that are done well, although don't expect any new ideas or dishes to be presented to you. The spicy level is in contention here, but it is a perfect place for someone who wants a entry-level place for Indian cuisine. I personally ask for extra spices in a dish that the waiters are all too willing to give me - it doesn't give the dishes the same flavor as if they were prepared with the spices, but it gives you that extra spice "kick" that most are used to with this style of food. The Naan is excellent, and the wait staff makes sure you have ample bread and drink, and that the buffet trays are stocked.

For as long as I can remember, Taste of India has been our go-to Indian buffet when dining out for lunch. The service is always fast and crisp; now granted, we always get the buffet, so they're just filling water, bringing bread, and clearing plates, but they seem to have it down.

As for the food, they don't really mix it up to much in terms of variety. In fact, I'm not sure I've ever seen a different spread. That said, it's always consistent, fresh, and delicious. I could stand it to be a bit spicier (I think they tone it down a bit for the US palate), but that's OK. My favorites are the Chicken Tikka Masala and the Sang Paneer. OK, I'm boring, but good is good.

The one caveat about this place is the parking. It just plain sucks. Even in San Diego...world capital of shitty parking lots, this one stands out as one of the worst. You can usually sneak into the Carl's Jr lot next door, though.
