ITS TASTE OF INDIA in Desert Hot Springs

Pricey yet very flavorful. We usually order the Lamb Biryani with mild spice & the vegetarian Navratan Korma with medium spice. The Aloo Saag and Paneer Tikka Masala are very tasty too. The last times we went, the prices they were charging in the restaurant wasn’t reflective of the prices they have on their website. The staff can be a little rude sometimes too, try not to take it personally. They usually don’t give utensils for takeout, so ask for them if you need them. Lastly, for a place that has such flavorful entrees & savory items it surprises me that their desserts taste kind of bland. I was expecting more spices in their desserts, not really worth the $6. The rice pudding was small & both the desserts were just one-dimensionally sweet. That Navratan Korma is amazing though! So addicting!

What a find! A small family Indian restaurant tucked away in Desert Hot Springs. Worth the drive from Palm Springs. The food was exceptional… fresh, tasty and authentic. The lady serving us was so nice and friendly. She couldn’t do enough for us.

This little tucked away Indian place has good indian food and I try many. The sauces were not watery and the chicken was good. The chicken saag was the perfect spice. The bears were pretty good too. Also the bathroom was clean with nice mountain picture...always good to not have a dirty bathroom

This place is incredible! It was so good we went here both nights of our desert palm stay. By far its the best Indian food Ive ever had, nevermind that we ordered all vegan - its now the only way I want Saag!The owner is very friendly and sweet as well. Overall great business to support and there is nothing like warm spicy vegan meal before and after a nice hot soak. :)

We visited Joshua Tree in Feb and was craving Indian food after our long days of hike. We found this place on Google maps as we stayed in dessert spring and the 1st night we visited, they couldnt accommodate us since they were that busy with online orders and dine in reservations. So we waited to go for lunch 2 days later before leaving for home. The food was totally worth the anticipation. It was just full of distinctive flavors and aromas. The owner was extremely nice too. Even though we had a 9 hr drive home, we still ordered 2 days worth of food to go after dining full stomach. 😂. I wish they would open one in the Bay Area but will definitely return if we do visit Palm Springs again.

Having had Indian food in many other cities, we were excited to stop by and try this one being so highly reviewed. The food was a bit disappointing. Seems like the chef uses some kind of sauce thickener or flour. Flavor was average. Prices were high for what it was. I’m sure relative to the small town; this is the best Indian food here but they should stick to the traditional methods in preparing dishes and avoid shortcuts.

Each time were in DHS we make sure we have a meal at Taste of India. You might not expect to find such good authentic Indian food in such a little desert town but youd be very wrong! Dont miss it if youre in the area. Everything my wife and I have had has been excellent. Its a gem!

Outstanding Indian food. Delicious and full of flavor. Every dish we ordered was excellent. The owner was so friendly and welcoming! She went out of her way to accomodate a family member who has a gluten and dairy sensitivity. Prices were very reasonable. I will definitely be back next time Im in the area. Thanks for a great meal!

Stopped in on a recommendation from friends. I was very happy with the portion size, service and the food was great. I will be eating here more often. Its so nice to have a new option in Desert Hot Springs.

This is our new lunch spot for sure! The vegetarian menu is amazing! The staff treated my kids like royalty, they saw my 4 year old picking off the crisp part of the appetizer cheese thing & brought her out a basket of cheese for her & brought my son a little mango yogurt to try!I couldnt believe how sweet they were & so helpful bc it was our first time! We will be back again & telling all our friends about them! Thanks for lunch guys!
