Our Story

Taste of India first opened in the heart of Greenwich Village, Manhattan, introducing authentic Indian cuisine to New York City. Today, we proudly continue that legacy at our Staten Island location on New Dorp Lane, where we have been serving the community since 1990.

As Staten Island’s first Indian restaurant, Taste of India II has been a trusted destination for over three decades. Under the direction of Chef and Owner Raman Kumar, each dish is carefully crafted to deliver a truly authentic dining experience rooted in tradition.

We specialize in classic North Indian cuisine, prepared with the finest ingredients and time-honored recipes—offering bold, genuine flavors without fusion, from aromatic curries and fresh naan to sizzling tandoori specialties. Complement your meal with our curated selection of specialty cocktails, fine wines, and premium spirits.

Whether dining in, ordering takeout or delivery, or planning a catered event, we are dedicated to exceptional food and warm hospitality.

Experience the true taste of India—right here in Staten Island.
