Opened only nine months ago in August 2010, Taste of continued on page 21
India brings more variety to the types of food available in
the local area. Brothers and co-owners Vineet, Sanjeev, Raj
Kumar, ran Café India in Morristown for five years but then
turned it over to their cousin so they could open a restaurant
closer to their regular customers.
“Lots of customers in Hackettstown, Long Valley,
Chester and Mt. Olive…they’d used to come to
Morristown; they say we have nothing around here but
pizza and Chinese,” explains Sanjeev. “They said
Morristown was too far to come so much.”
Now these customers can travel less and come more
often to enjoy the fine Indian cuisine, while the restaurant
can attract new customers who are also becoming fast reg-
ulars. Some come three times per week.
“It’s very authentic,” says Paul Verona of Chester, who
was dining with his wife Valerie and son Paul Jr. for the
fourth time at Taste of India. “The food is really good tradi-
tional Indian food. I like how the wait-staff helps you
choose your meal. They describe the dishes. Every dish has
a different spice. We’re anxious to bring our friends here.”
Paul Verona, Jr., who has tried all types of cuisine espe-
cially after living in Italy from 2009-2010, calls Taste of
India “a hidden treasure” or “hidden gem.”
“I’m into different flavors. Indian cuisine gives you all
different spices, so many varieties of flavors in one dish,”
he says. He tried the Vegetable Jal Frazie- fresh garden veg-
etables marinated in fresh ginger and garlic- and describes
it as “wholesome, exotic goodness and spicy too. I love
spicy cuisine that brings up the heat.”
Valerie Verona enjoyed the Lamb Pasanda- tender lamb
marinated overnight and simmered in a light sauce with
yogurt, onions, tomatoes and mild spices. “That was deli-
cious,” she says. “I love the lentils. I always get something
different and everything is always good. For this area, it’s
very different.”
Opened six days a week and closed on Mondays, Taste
of India has lines out the door on the weekends for cus-
tomers just waiting to experience wonderful dining. Lunch
is served 11:30 a.m.-2:30 p.m. weekdays, and 12-3 p.m. on
weekends. Dinner is served 5 p.m.-10 p.m. Tues.-Sun.
For lunches, customers can enjoy “the best buffet in
town,” describes Sanjeev, in which everyday is a new menu
served from mild to medium. Ten main courses, two to
three desserts, appetizers and salads are included in the buf-
fet for $9.95 on weekdays and $10.95 weekends
