Taste of India is a well established Indian restaurant on Roosevelt Way in Seattle, WA. They offer a wide selection of curries, fresh naan, and several vegetarian items along with a bottomless cup of chai. The menu has been recently revised to 100% halal, but alcohol is now served.

The food is really delicious and they have one of the most comfortable heated outdoor dining areas in town!
I had eaten at this restaurant before they served alcohol and back when they menu was supposedly halal. I recently at there again, and saw the beer and wine page on the menu. I asked one of the waitresses if the meat was halal and she said "huh?" So I asked to talk to the manager and he said only the lamb is halal. The only indication that the restaurant has any association with islam is the name name of Allah hanging on the wall right in between two pictures of half-naked indian girls. Needless to say, I won't be going back until he changes a few things.
We just went to this restaurant May 22, 2011 and we saw the owner walking around serving wine himself to the customers. The tables had signs saying "Now serving Beer & Wine". Their website also says "Now serving Beer & Wine". We are so dissapointed since we even went out of our way to tell him how much we appreciated that he had stopped serving alcohol and only served halal at one point. But now he has gone back to his old ways and he cannot be trusted. They just lost another loyal customer. I doubt very much they even have a halal menu since they are obviously catering mainly to non-Muslims and don't have the "halal" sign up anywhere on their website.
Astaghfirullah, this was one of the overall best halal spots in Seattle. Br. Muhammad did away with the wine list and instituted a fully halal menu last year but has since relapsed into peddeling haram. I'm very saddened by his choosing dunya over akhira. May Allah guide him and save us from going down a similar path.
