A Taste Of India - West Dorset

During our first visit to Lyme Regis in many years, we noticed this restaurant as we walked by. Impressed by the menu and the fact that it was BYOB, we decided to give it a try. The place was bustling on a Saturday, mostly with customers picking up takeout orders, but we were content to relax with our own wine while chatting with Kar, who had a great sense of humor. We assured him we would be back, and we definitely will be!

I entered this restaurant at 10:20 PM, with their closing time being 11:00 PM, only to be informed that they were already closed for both dine-in and take-out. Not only that, but the staff looked at me, spoke to me, and treated me as if I were an inconvenience. I would highly recommend avoiding this place. They have zero respect for their customers.

During our week-long stay in Lyme, we decided to order takeout from this restaurant. The food arrived hot and on time, and was absolutely delicious. The portions were generous. We ordered Chicken Dansak and Garlic Chilli Chicken, both of which were delightful. Coming from Birmingham, where we have access to excellent Indian cuisine, we were impressed with the quality of the food here. Thank you.

We stopped in to eat on Saturday early evening after a nice afternoon in Lyme after having been recommended by our Air BnB accom that their takeaway was good. Unfortunately the meal was somewhat spoiled by the incredibly unwelcoming and rudeness of the head waiter who seemed to have been insulted in some way that we had chosen to eat there. No matter how polite and engaging we attempted to be his demeanor never changed and seem to be glowering at my wife. The meal in fairness was nice and it is also a bring your own drinks establishment as they have no licence. Weirdly though when a local popped in to collect a takeaway he turned into a completely different character....maybe he just doesn't like tourists......So sorry I cannot recommend the restaurant to anyone unfortunately. Perhaps the gentleman should seek an alternative career

Had a lovely take away last night from Taste of India whilst staying in the area on holiday. We were recommended to use and did it not disappoint! Food arrived hot, and portions were huge we couldn't finish it all! Will definitely use again when we come again!
