My Taste of India

Whenever I’m in Harrisburg for work, one of our team’s go-to spots for a satisfying, flavorful meal is My Taste of India—and for good reason. This place feels like a warm invitation into a Punjabi home kitchen, with all the rich spices, comforting dishes, and genuine hospitality you’d hope for. Run by the amazing duo—Joe and his brother Joseph—the experience here is always personal and welcoming. They clearly take pride in what they serve, and it shows in every dish and every interaction. We’ve worked our way through much of the menu (yes, we’re those regulars), but this visit was especially epic. We ordered: Fried Masala Papad to kick things off with a crunch and a kick Egg Burji (a team favorite—flavor bomb!) Cholay, Daal, and Saag – hearty, well-spiced, and perfectly cooked & probably the best thing your taste buds will experience. Naan, Kulcha, and Makai ki Roti – fresh off the tandoor, pillowy and delicious Chicken Biryani – aromatic and packed with depth Tandoori Chicken – tender, juicy, and sizzling with smoky flavor Everything was incredible—fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with love and tradition. You can taste the roots of Punjab in every bite. The best part? The vibe. Joe and Joseph make everyone feel like family. The service is prompt, warm, and always accommodating—even when our group rolls in hungry and loud! If you’re craving authentic North Indian cuisine with heart, My Taste of India is a no-brainer. Whether you’re local or just passing through, this place is well worth the stop.

I have eaten "the best Indian food in the world" in London, and this restaurant is BETTER! The paneer tikka masala was PERFECT, the korma and the naan were incredible, and the cauliflower appetizer with a sweet-hot sauce was delicious! Everything was made from FRESH ingredients to order. Joe was friendly and kindly made the recommendation for the appetizer when I asked for something with an interesting flavor profile. Do not let the fact that it is in a truck plaza put you off. The food here is better than any I have gotten in the fancy Indian restaurants! Worth the long drive I made to get here, WILL RETURN FOR MORE! 😋😍😋😍😋😍

Let me tell you something... I've eaten at alot of Indian places but none has compared to this place right here. The food made me feel like I was in India all over again. Authentic taste and they prepare everything as you order. The chef even came and asked about my experience. If you want Authentic Indian food this is the place and also very welcoming and friendly atmosphere. Very good 👌🏾

I recently had the pleasure of dining at “Taste of India” in Harrisburg, PA, and it was an unforgettable experience! The Saag Paneer and Malai Kofta were nothing short of amazing—each dish bursting with authentic flavors that transported me straight to India. The garlic naan was the perfect complement, fluffy and flavorful, making every bite even more enjoyable. The portion sizes are just right, ensuring that you leave feeling satisfied without being overly stuffed. The staff were incredibly helpful and attentive, always available to answer questions and make recommendations. Their warm hospitality truly adds to the overall dining experience. I would drive miles and miles just to savor the incredible dishes at this restaurant. If you're in the area, don't miss the chance to visit "Taste of India." Excellent food, excellent service, simple and clean environment. simply outstanding.

Excellent Indian food with quick, friendly service. We enjoyed butter chicken, goat curry, garlic naan, and basmati rice—all fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. Don’t let the truck stop location fool you—this place is absolutely worth a visit.

Was staying for the night at Holiday Inn across from Taste of India, which was recommended for its food. Had an amazingly great meal, Marsala Tikki Chicken with rice & buttered naan, and an incredible cup of hot tea with ginger. Prices more than fair, friendly service, and the location adds to its cool vibe & uniqueness!!

I ordered chicken biryani, butter chicken, and naan, and everything was absolutely delicious. The biryani had perfect spices, and the butter chicken was rich and full of flavor. The naan was soft and fresh. The service was excellent and the place was very clean. One of the best Indian food experiences I’ve had. I will definitely come back again! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

wow. The food here is excellent and they are so nice. I live very close and this was my first time there however they were so attentive and kind. The food came out quick and tasted delicious 🤤 al’s you get SO much rice

So very good! Had chicken curry and the veggie biryani with wonderful paneer. Very friendly service, great food.

The staff were very friendly and the food was absolutely delicious! Very much looking forward to returning!

Absolutely do not pass this amazing place by. The chicken tikka masala may be the best I've ever had. The rice is perfection and the chef is friendly and very proud of his cooking. This definitely is a once a week place to go. I wish I had pictures but it was so good we ate too fast

I have never complained about a pick up order for food before today. I spent $75 for 2 dishes and 3 naans. I thought for the price I would get rice or a larger portion. The portions were tiny ( see picture) and one of these was $28! I ordered a vegetarian dish and they didn't have it so gave me another vegetable dish. I would assume that if you don't have what someone ordered online, you would text or call. Not in this case. They assumed I would want the other dish. Honestly I was shocked at the portion because I live in DC (happened to be in the area for a baseball tournament) and it would have been half the price and double the portion. What a huge waste of money.

Do not be discouraged the truck stop location: this is some of the best Indian food I have ever had! Put this in your long term memory: Hershey PA, My Taste of India. You will thank us!

Very good food, I like it. Friendly staff, good portions, autentic Indian cuisine. You can tell they have appreciation for their cuisine and culture. Would absolutely recommend.

Top quality Indian food--seriously can't imagine any better--and it's evident that the folks who work here take pride in what they do. Delicious. I stop in every time I'm passing by on 81.

OMG!!! This place is a hidden gem! I love Indian cuisine and this place is an amazing surprise in the middle of a road trip at a truck stop. The service was so pleasant and courteous. The ambiance was a warm and cozy Indian truck stop vibe that made the truck stop disappear.

Wow delicious!!!! Stopped to get gas and checked this place out. So glad we decided to eat here on our road trip! Service was excellent, very patient and nice, checked up on us multiple times. Took the time to explain my new fav dish to me before ordering. Food was a bit slow to come out, but we were on the rushed side + had a hangry baby haha so we are not the most patient customers. - garlic naan 4/5 solid - malai tikka 5/5 DELICIOUS!!!! Chicken was so tender and juicy, tasted like it was roasted to order. Sauce was a delicious creamy cashew sauce with warm spice and lemon flavor. Wow so glad I tried it!!!! - butter chicken 4/5 solid, flavorful, hits the spot Restroom is clean too. Thanks for being on our route! Keep doing what you're doing!

Absolutely delicious food, friendly people and quality ingredients. Highly recommend!

I left a 5 star 4 years ago, because the food and service used to be so good. Today I shall give a 0 star if I could. Their service, food, behavior has drastically changed for the worse. I returned after 4 years yesterday, traveling from Texas. We ordered bhatura, requested them well done, we reached the restaurant to pick up our order and we opened to see it. The chef made bhatura out of naan dough. No wonder it breaks and all the oil goes in. We said we won't take it because they didn't make it how it's supposed to be made- imagine ordering a pancake and when u go to pick it they give you oats instead- SAME. Anyway, we went there today to order something, and the server said their Mrs. Owner has said to refuse service to us because their chef messed up yesterday's order. A very petty move to cover up faults.

Traveling through area and found searching on phone. Honestly was a little nervous when we pulled in. But there seemed to be customers coming and going so we went for it. If this place was near us we'd be frequent customers. The guy waiting on tables and running the register I believe was doing all the cooking too, but was very friendly and helpful. The food was really very good! Much better than some fancier and much more pricey places, and much better than we expected from the back of a gas station. :-). Highly recommended.

We stopped for lunch and ordered chicken tikka masala nan and tandoori platter. All the food was amazing, very authentic and tasted very fresh. Portions are very generous. What made our meal even more enjoyable was host Jo who was extremely friendly and checked with us constantly if food was good and if we needed anything. We accidentally spilled some tea at our table and Jo was nice enough to offer another table. We had a wonderful time conversing with Jo and chef Jose in our native language. He prepared excellent masala tea to our taste. We also got food to go and can't wait to eat more yummy food! Will definitely visit again if we are driving through that area. Facility is super clean and organized, even the restrooms. 5/5 for customer service and 5/5 for food!!

As a truck driver I liked that coming in this establishment it was separated from the gas station it was nice & the restaurant was clean. The customer service was also helpful. I ordered chicken curry with a order of rice to go & I liked that they offered spicy and sweet sauce on the side to add on to your liking & honestly the portion is good enough to feed two. I also got the samosa chaat and woah they're big and that alone could've filled me up. Definitely will be coming back to dine in.

very low-key attached to a gas station but willing to try something different. The atmosphere seemed a little skeptical, but I'm always willing to try new places. First of all, the Goat Biryani had more fat and bones than meat and for the price not worth it...I just could have ordered a side of rice with my Garlic Naan bread. I did inform the cook about the goat meat, and he is going to add Lamb to it since I got nothing but bones and fat. Something that should have been informed when ordering the Goat is that whatever they have back there is what you get. I am not satisfied with the dish, but good customer service, with him giving me the additional Lamb to compliment the biryani dish. The cook provided me with the lamb biryani and the same results, lots of bones and fat, on the dish. So this is a no for me, and the amount of money I spent should've just gone with the vegetable dishes instead. Make sure to ask about the Goat and Lamb prior to ordering, so you won't get cheated. Now look at the owner/cooks' response to me so disrespectful and unwarranted. My opinion means a lot, and I did not eat the terrible food you so-called provided. You should be ashamed to reference me as you did in your reapones, and I will be taking additional action against your establishment to ensure that people know you are ripping people off.

Got an order of Chicken Tikka with some Onion Naan. The food was tasty but the do not include an order of rice with the meals. It's an extra charge apparently. For the amount they charged for the Tikka, Rice should have been included.

Always great service and amazing food. My daughter loves eating from here and my coworkers love coming here for the lunch buffet.

So. Let's begin by reminding ourselves not to judge hypothetical books by their hypothetical covers. That being said this place is in the middle of a truckers paradise attached to a gas station. If it weren't for my boyfriend I'd have walked on by and MISSED THIS SPECIAL GEM!. The customer service is lovely. The gentleman at the counter( wish I'd gotten his name) was so patient with our many questions about substitutions and changing things. We ordered Butter Shrimp and a mango curry with fish! And like 4 orders of the garlic naan. LET ME TELL YOU. When I say both of these dishes were perfectly flavored and balanced.....*chef's kiss*. Each dish has its own distinct beautiful layered taste. I don't know how many times I've been to Indian spots and the curries taste the same. This place has set the bar so high....I MIGHT just have to come hang out with truckers so I can eat here more frequently. Lots of vegetarian options, pescatarian options, mmm mmm mmm! Please come check this spot out! I'm going again ASAP.

We catered for the 2nd time in last 2 years from them. We had approximately 50guests. The owners were extremely helpful in suggesting the quantity that makes it more practical to order the food so that it is appropriate for the guest list. They were also able to adjust the spice level. We received compliments for food from guests of all backgrounds (Indian, Caucasian, Nepali and Asian). We will definitely be back again!!

Excellent service and VERY authentic food. Not watered down for America. Great little place.

Love this place!! Delicious!! They even have hot water ready if you wanna bring your own tea or hot chocolate!

Tasty Indian food! Rice is extra but the Butter Chicken, Paneer Saag, and Garlic Naan were all delicious.

Honestly didn't expect it to taste so good, given that it was located near a gas station. The garlic naan with the lamb curry was mm mmm mmmm. We had some mango lassi as well, loved it. I wish I had a gallon of it in my own fridge. The restaurant itself was pretty cozy. But the service was great! Our waiter connected with my dad and had a good conversation about our culture and the preparation of the lamb. Had a great time, we would definitely go back.

The food is so fresh and delicious. We dine in took a little time but it was worth it . The tandoori plate it was delicious .

Some of the best Indian food in the area, no doubt. However, it's ridiculous that rice isn't included with the entrees, especially given the higher prices. Not sure if they have air conditioning, but it was rather warm during my visit. Customer service was also lacking. I'd consider coming back for the food, but there's definitely room for improvement in both service and comfort.

Excellent, reasonably priced food. Right of I-85. Seems to be almost home cooking--food comes out appropriately slow. Samosas came quickly and were delicious. Tikka Masala chicken took a few minutes but was equally excellent.

Amazing not much more I can say. Ohh and spicy Chilli Paneer - Flavorful Indian starter with cheese, bell peppers and onions in tangy sauce

Really good tasting food, next to the TA and in front of the Flying J truck stop. They also have truck parking. Overall really good service too.

The taste is spot on!! Wish it was more meat but I will come back. I'm a otr truck driver and I doubt get a chance to eat good out here but today I have

Excellent food, home cooked and fresh! We stopped by on the way to West Virginia . The host Jo is an amazing person and recommended some excellent food items! One of the best Indian food we have tried in America for sure! We ordered tandoori roti, chole , mutton curry and dal makhni, all dishes were superb!

We have eaten our fair share of Indian food including time spent in and around Mumbai for a family wedding, and my wife and I both agree that this is some of the best Indian cuisine we have ever had. We ordered the basics--chicken tikka, saag paneer, etc--and loved it!! On the spicy side--also loved that. Don't be fooled by its proximity to a convenient store and gas station. People are lovely and food is delicious!

Much of the food is better than one might expect, given the location. But the rice was lousy. And this is unforgivable. It made the whole meal disappointing. Also my chicken dish had bone-in chicken, which detracted from the dish's eatability.

We didn't expect much when we pulled up but were very pleasantly surprised. The food was great, the service was very good, and the atmosphere was pleasant. We enjoyed the break on our drive home!

My Taste of India 2 deserves a glowing 5/5! The food was absolutely amazing. My brother ordered the Chicken Korma, which he loved, and the garlic naan that we all shared was delicious. I had the Lamb Vindaloo, which was incredibly tasty, though for my personal preference, it could have been a bit spicier--but that's just because I love a LOT of spice. It was likely perfectly spiced and seasoned for most. The roti we shared was also fantastic. This was my father's first time trying Indian food, and he thoroughly enjoyed the Tandoori Chicken we recommended he get. Additionally, the men working there were incredibly friendly and accommodating, making our dining experience even more enjoyable. My Taste of India 2 truly provided a wonderful dining experience for us all. Highly recommended! The atmosphere might be off-putting to some, as it is attached to a truck stop gas station and is very no-frills, but I find it charming! It is a great reminder that not every restaurant needs to look aesthetically pleasing to cook some INCREDIBLE food. If you're in the area, this place is a must!

The best butter chicken I've ever had came from an Indian restaurant that is beside a gas station. Never thought I'd type thought out but it's true. In town visiting the area and did a search for restaurants. My Taste of India came up. I like Indian food. Thought I'd give it a try. The location is different. I followed the map directions. Ended up at a gas station / truck repair place. Saw the sign so went into the gas station. Didn't see any food so was walking out. Someone told me the restaurant was around the corner. I debated saag paneer or butter chicken. Ordered the saag but they didn't have any. So happy with the butter chicken. Cannot explain how good it is. I'm the only non-Indian here and I think that speaks to the authenticity of the food. Wish I was going to be in town longer so I could try more dishes.

Good was great, service was extremely good!! Food came out very quick . Ambience was pleasant, and very friendly!!!! Overall great experience!!!!!

We were staying at the Holiday Inn Express next door and took a chance to try Taste of India. Wow, we're so happy we did. They had a great menu with lots of choices. The staff was super friendly and even offered a few suggestions on what we might like. The food was amazing and very authentic. Do yourself a favor and go there, you won't be disappointed.

Great taste no regret. I was hungry while driving back to home so decided to stop. The food quality and quantity is okay and price is reasonable. The area of improvement would be attitude of male owner whereas female owner is extremely polite. I tried cauliflower aloo and paneer tikka and we pre ordered so the food should be ready. Surprisingly it was ready and parathas were hot and fresh. The cauliflower aloo need improvement as it was a little burned which diluted the taste

This little gem is in at a truck stop off 81. Are you wondering how truck stop India food will taste, well dido. We almost didn't go it. After much debate we decided to give it a try! And I must say I was very impressed! I ordered the Chicken Sagg with medium spice. Next time I will get it a little spicer! The helping was big and j can't wait to enjoy the leftovers! I would love to try more from the menu!

Wow was not expecting this, it's in a portion of a truck stop. The food was excellent. I had chicken curry, rice, naan, and a chia tea. The flavor of the curry was amazing. The lady that waited on me was quick but there were only two other customers. The take was very steady. Now the environment was very basic and the place was cold on a cold November day. The cost was a little pricey but compared with any other Indian restaurant it was fair. I also was not able to finish the portion served, which tell me that portion size were adequate.

Even tho this place looks like a truck stop which is not, their food is plain delicious, I gave it 4 stars for price on a small portion of mango curry chicken and chicken was not meaty, it was actually no breast. My husband order the lamb which was a decent portion, it does not come with rice, it's extra, tastes like basmati but very dry Naan excellent I would preferred cut up chicken breast like they do it everywhere else, even in India Will come back next time when in town

First time here I'm truck driver ordered Goat biryani told the tall chubby guy I will pay extra money for double meat and less rice and he goes I'll tc of u sir I'll give you nice peices and what I get mostly bones!!! Seriously and he wanted me to give him good reviews and still gave me whole bunch of rice I did order yellow lentil two items together with tip it was 55$ this place is a rip off on portion and over priced!! Here's your review sir!!! Biryani was lacking flavor I had way better!!!

Food is good. Menu is a little deceiving because you do not get rice with any of the dishes. We ordered 4 dishes, which are a bit more expensive than most of the other places in the area, and none of them came with rice. Every other Indian restaurant has rice with each dish so I guess we expected the same, especially considering the price per dish. I don't mind ordering rice as an add on item but the menu is confusing and I hope they update that.

We ordered the butter chicken with rice and onion naan. Initially, we hesitated to give it a try considering it was next to a gas station. However, we are so glad we took the chance as the food turned out to be incredibly fresh, bursting with flavors, and absolutely delicious. The service was fast and friendly.

Amazing! I've lived in India and have bemoaned the lack of authentic cuisine. Well look no further. The food here is fresh, tasty and just perfectly reminiscent of what I loved about cuisine in India. Will drive over 100 miles to come back to this place. It's that good!

Don't be put off that this restaurant is next to a gas station! It was exceptionally delicious food. The tikka masala sauce was the creamiest I've ever tasted and the chicken was oh so tender. Friendly staff. A great interstate stop.

I've been craving chicken vindaloo for a while and decided to give this restaurant a try I was definitely surprised to see what was delivered to me this chicken vindaloo did not have potatoes and it wasn't chicken cubes are boneless chicken it was actually whole chicken wings in the sauce not what I was expecting. Called the establishment and they told me that's how their chicken vindaloo is made and that I have to request for potatoes to be added what is obscured. Despite my displeasure the manager was able to make me another order with boneless chicken and potatoes complimentary. The sauce is very good and flavorful and their rice is done perfectly well

Surprising place. It's in the same building as a gas station, but the food is quite good, though not inexpensive. There is a bit coin ATM and cool mid century chairs. Staff was super nice and very accommodating of our baby. I had the lamb saag and it was buttery and delicious with tender meat and a perfect medium spice level. My wife got the mixed vegetables which were tumeric forward and not overcooked. The rice with peas was great too. Easy to get to from the highway, we will go back on our next trip down the interstate!

Excellent food Em route to philly or New Jersey We had Makki ki roti and saag .. really tasty ! Great service and good ambiance
