Great family owned restaurant. Food was excellent and the owner actually cooked for us. He came out to see how we liked the food! I had chicken Vindaloo and my son had the Lamb! Delicious!! Highly recommend!!

We had a delicious meal here last night. Authentic flavors and well prepared. The Lamb Korma was the bedtvI have had in a restaurant. The lamb was very tender and the Korma was floral and rich in flavor. The vegetable Samosa were delicious and perfect with the 3 chutneys. The Tandoori Chicken was full flavored and I loved that they have poblano peppers in the sauteed onions as most restaurants put green bell pepper which adds no flavor. The owners are also very nice. We will be back! If you haven't tried this restaurant, don't hesitate.

I'm not sure why but for some people this restaurant is very polarizing. Some people either love it or hate it. I happen to love it and try to go there on a regular basis. I believe it's family owned and the service is always quite good. And I really enjoy the food. What's not to like?

I'm not sure how authentic the food is as I'm not well versed with Indian food. But, man, this place is good! I'm always one to say "I don't like Indian food.". I'll keep coming here, though! The buffet at lunch is well worth the money! The tamarind chutney is amazing

Title: A Symphony of Flavors at Flavor of India - The Best Indian Food in Tucson! Review: From the moment I walked into Flavor of India, I knew I was in for a real treat. The ambiance was warm and inviting, while the aroma of delicious spices immediately captivated my senses. Little did I know that I was about to experience the best Indian food in Tucson! The menu offered a wide variety of dishes, making it nearly impossible to choose. However, the helpful staff were more than willing to make recommendations based on our preferences. They suggested we try the cream spinach, lamb samosa, and lamb chops, and I am glad they did. They all turned out to be excellent choices! The cream spinach was heavenly, with its velvety texture and robust flavors complementing each other perfectly. The lamb samosa boasted a crispy, golden exterior with the most tender, flavorful lamb mince tucked inside. Each bite was an explosion of flavor, and I couldn't help but crave more. The piece de resistance, however, was undoubtedly the lamb chops. Expertly seasoned and grilled to perfection, they were succulent and bursting with delicious juices. The accompanying sauce added another layer of depth and complexity, elevating the dish to sheer perfection. The service was impeccable throughout the meal - attentive, yet unobtrusive. Our dining experience was further enhanced when the owner stopped by our table to ensure we were satisfied with our meal. It was evident that the entire team at Flavor of India takes great pride in their food and genuinely cares about their guests. If you're looking for authentic, top-notch Indian cuisine in Tucson, look no further than Flavor of India. You'll be hard-pressed to find a more delectable dining experience in the area. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone craving an explosion of flavors, superb service, and a truly memorable meal.

My Grandma was from India. I grew up eating Indian cuisine. The second I walked in I could smell I was in the right place. The lunch buffet is great!! Very good food at a decent price. Also probably the greatest chai I’ve had in the states. Wry happy I found this place.

Butter chicken was delicious, because they used a chicken thigh but with zero fat. Lamb with onion, mushroom, peppers is excellent. Garlic Naan bread was eaten in its entirety. Non-vegetarian sampler was fun to try. The lamb sausages had the best flavor and the samosa (lamb filled) had a great crunch. The samosa was the size of a fist ('was' because I ate it). This place is so good I will eat everything in front of me. I highly recommend this restaurant.

My wife and I came for the lunch buffet, which was very diverse and scrumptious! Dishes included potato-stuffed samosas, tandoori chicken, ground lamb meatballs (delicious!), and many vegetarian specialities!! I washed my meal down with an imported Indian beer Kingfisher! We moved to the area from Chicago and have visited India, so we enjoy Indian cooking, and we do not hesitate to recommend Flavor of India!
