Benton, Arkansas is lucky to have this place. I've had Indian food here in the US and in the UK. This place is right up there with what I had in London. I ordered the Veg Samosa, Chicken Tikka and Garlic Naan. All were excellent! Preparation and the taste was great! Highly recommend!

Had lunch at ISHA Taste of India and absolutely loved it! Tried the juicy Mutton Mandi, flavorful Ginger Flex Chicken, rich Lamb Rogan Josh, and ended with the perfect dessert Rasmalai. The ambience is warm and inviting, and the service is super friendly. This place is a great addition for Benton area foodies! Excited for the buffet to start so I can sample even more of their dishes. Also, the cleanest Indian store I’ve ever visited top notch service all around. Highly recommend!

I moved here from the UK, where Indian food is everywhere, and this place really hit the spot. The vindaloo wasn’t quite the taste I remember, but it was still very good. The korma, though, absolutely brilliant! Creamy, rich, and just like the ones I grew up with. Everything tasted fresh and well-prepared. A lovely surprise to find a proper curry this good here! I took the photo after I’d already eaten most of it, couldn’t wait, sorry!

Well, the inside was nicer than we thought. Plenty of seating. We didn't know at the time but they offer traditional floor seating as well as regular seating at tables and chairs. They offer an all you can eat Buffett in Sundays 11-2. We ate dinner. Seated with no wait, ordered and began receiving our food items after a short wait. Food was eye appealing, hot, fresh, and very tasty! We will be back! Garlic naan is our fav, cheese naan was ok. Lentil bean soup was good! Chicken Tika Marsala was wonderful and the rice dish with lamb was good too! We will be back for sure!

We did the four piece Sandiwala Red Chicken Mandi and it was absolutely phenomenal. The rice in itself was amazing, but the chicken was tender, juicy, and flavorful. We also highly recommend the mango lassi and the lentil soup was a hit even with my 8 year old. I will definitely be back, this is the best meal I've had in years. I'll update next time with a picture before we dig in.
