Taste of India II

The only thing I have tried from this place is the chicken biryani. It is one of the best I have ever had so I don’t even care to try anything else off the menu because it is the only thing I want and constantly crave. I wish I knew what part of India their biryani is based off of or the specific name of the chicken biryani because there are so many different variations of this dish.

This is the best Indian restaurant I’ve ever been to! I’ve been going here for years (before the renovation) and it is absolutely amazing. I moved to NJ and I come back to Staten Island just to come here every few weeks! The food is always amazing, flavorful, fresh, hot. The staff are always friendly and patient. The food is on the pricey side, but you get what you pay for…I would eat here everyday if I could. Absolutely delicious Dietary restrictions: I developed a gluten allergy years ago and the staff are always very knowledgeable on what I am able to eat. I remember the first time I asked the staff member (I don’t know his name but he has been there for years) what was gluten free and immediately the was able to list off a bunch of menu items. He didn’t have to run to the kitchen to ask, and he didn’t assume, he KNEW. That’s what I call knowledgeable staff. There is nothing worse than eating at a restaurant when you have a food allergy, and the staff doesn’t even know what allergie

The food was okay, service was good but we were really upset that the restaurant charges a credit card fee without clearly informing the customer first. We received our check and had no issue with our total, however, once the card was charged and returned we were charged more than our original total. It’s not honest service and staff should inform customers of the increased charge BEFORE charging. If we knew about the additional 4% fee, we would have paid cash. Unprofessional and will not be returning for this reason. And yes, they do have a tiny note on the bottom of the menu about card processing fees, but does not state percentage of fee. This is misleading, not clear, or honest.
