“ I read the reviews. I craved Indian food but was used to being disappointed. We travel full time in an RV our last home was Chicago which we were spoiled with amazing Indian food. Since leaving Chicago we've tried a few places in different states, but none compared. I walked in the gas station either way I needed to fix my craving and all I see is a Taqueria sign so I'm disappointed maybe they moved. I asked the guy at gas station register what happened to the Indian restaurant and he said it's there and pointed to the Taqueria. I walked there confused and asked the guy for a menu. I placed my order which was butter chicken, chicken Biryani, simosa, naan or some kind of bread. I waited for the gentleman to prepare my order which he did right in front of me. I took my order home and as soon as I looked at it I said this is gonna be bomb. Now let me tell you, it was ! Omg some good Indian food the butter chicken was in point the sauce is delicious. The chicken biryani delicious too and not big chunks of bone in chicken just boneless like the ones I used to eat. Everything well seasoned and yummy. The simosa was huge and crispy and delicious. If you're craving Indian food go here. Ignore the way the place looks and trust me that this hole in the wall will provide you with some delicious Indian food that will satisfy your cravings. Luckily for me I have a lot of left overs. ”
“ This food hits the spot. I’m happy that I found it. If you’re reading this come try for yourself. A closed mouth don’t eat!!! ”
“ I never had anything from India . The food was really good. Great. I'm going to try something else today. Great service and good customer service. great employees staff. Really recommend it to you ”
“ Authentic and fresh flavors!!! Definitely almost missed the opportunity to experience this place because it is located INSIDE of the GAS STATION... lol I hope this comment helps those who have drove here and thought that it was the empty spot on the end... will definitely be eating here again ”
“ We ordered the mild style - Chicken Breyani and added Samosas. High quality foods. Food was ordered prior to pick up. Ready in 5 minutes. Hot and Fresh. Specify your desired spice levels, because food is made per order. Mild was still very very very slightly spicy, but not enough that I would consider it anything other than mild, I only mention because some persons prefer no "heat," at all. The food was delicious. The staff was very helpful and attentive to the needs of customers both in store and over the phone. I did not check out bathroom, so I cannot comment as usual about the cleanliness of the bathroom facilities. This location is inside a gas station, so I was highly surprised at the care and quality of the facilities and food. I will definitely come back and order again. Will edit ( if possible and give thoughts on the restrooms , next time - we were on the run today ) ”
“ The food is so good i have to go once a week and buy the chicken tikka masala, and naan. My whole family loves the food from Rice Bowl of India. ”
“ Food is great and AMAZING they were even nice enough to give us a second order of our food for free because we accidentally doubled the order. Great people, great good. Highly recommend! ”
“ I ordered pickup then fell alseep on accident- I showed up 5 hours later wondering if my order was still pending, they instead remade the whole order fresh for me on the spot without question. Great food and amazing service!! ”
