Wife and I just got off the AT in Damascus for trail day. As we were driving back to our home. Wife and I wanted to treat ourselves to some Indian food. We are very picky because we have had authentic Indian food so no microwave food will do for us. Well we looked at many different places along the way. We came across this place and hoped to get able to get a sit. They open at 4 and that is the best time to go in if you don’t have a reservation. The hostess was very nice, we sat down and couple people pasted us. Then this one guy pasted us but then backed up and said has anyone helped you? We said no so he took care of us as is we were in his personal home. The food was great and came out quickly and we completely enjoyed the atmosphere the conversation. The best compliment we meant, we showed the person on our phone we are 2 hours and 30 minutes away and when we want Indian food again we will driving to this place!! My wife and I thought the person was a owner or a relative of the owner, but nope he is the manager and only worked their for two years! So shocked the owner made an awesome decision to bring this person on. Please if you have a chance to go please see Kevin and let him know how awesome he is and grateful he puts everything into his job!!

Ate dinner here recently and got the Fish Chilli Milli and Bullet Naan for an appetizer, the Nawabi with Chicken Indian Classic for the main dish. I found the price decent for the amount of food you get with the presentation of your dish making for a nice dinner out. Our food came out fast and our waiter was excellent! He was very attentive, but also gave us room to eat peaceful without hovering. The spice in meals can be adjusted to your liking, but as a reference, I can take a small amount of spice and I found Spice Level 2 out of 5 for the main dish to not be spicy. The Bullet Naan had a good spicy kick to it because of the chilis. The chutney paired with the Naan cools the spice down, but if you think black pepper is spicy, that's not the dish for you. Will definitely eat here again!

My knowledge is limited to what my friends have cooked for me and I always follow their recommendation when it comes to Indian restaurants. So when they drive from Lynchburg to Roanoke for catering that’s a strong vote of confidence The food was fantastic, everything was spot on. I think the tandoori chicken was the standout with the gobi a close second. Next time I’m in Roanoke I’ll be hitting them up

Three of us vegans, with myself being gluten free, got takeout dinner. I called in and asked about other dishes apart from the vegan menu and they were able to make two others vegan: Vindaloo with tofu, and Chana Pindi. We also got the Thaduka Dahl (from the vegan menu) and Roti. Everything was delicious - best Indian we’ve had in a while. Really appreciated the knowledge and accommodations on the menu. Wish we’d dined in so we could have ordered the Chickpea Brownie with vegan ice cream for dessert!

Was passing through Roanoke on a road trip and decided to stop at this place. It was amazing!!! The people were super friendly and sweet, and they made sure to look out for me when I told them I was vegan. They have so many great vegan options and a whole mini vegan menu too— they even had a vegan dessert, which is so rare to come across on the road. The food was delicious and I wish I had something like this close to home!!! You will not be disappointed here.

There have only been a few times I have went to an establishment and been neglected and even fewer where I have been openly disrespected. Taaza is one of those places. Me and my sister were out for a new experience, so we decided to go to Taaza's and try the Indian cuisine. Little did we know that we would be seated near the rest rooms, when the waiter took our drink order he brought us water first then asked us if we'd like anything to drink. I asked for a diet coke and he proceeded past the drink machine to a nice warm bottle of coke that looked like it had been sitting for a while under the counter and poured me a drink. Then a different waiter took our order which was achari shrimp, Curried chicken w/vegetables and bullet Naan. Murgh Tikka, with garlic Naan and lamb kabob for one. The waiter wrote none of this down, then comes back to the table to ask if we needed a refill and proceed to take our order again mind you he had already taken the menus up. He then brings my sister everything she ordered correctly and brings me the incorrect order something that had tofu in it. All in the food was great and it wasn't even a problem that it was all wrong. But the service felt that as a black man I was not welcome in this place. I may be wrong but that's how it was and my waiter never returned. A nice young lady brought our bill took our money and she too never came back. I'll probably never come back as well this was a terrible experience and if I want to try Indian cuisine again I'll probably go to Greensboro. Or just have a steak.
