Ambiance Good, Food Ok 2012-03-19
Sattvic food as they say, will not suit the taste buds of those who like veggies with onion and garlic. Good place to take your parents if they do not eat out because they do not get onion free food, like in some Marwadi/Gujarati communities.
It's on the higher side if price is concerned, Desserts can be made more interesting.
I personally liked the food, would not say loved it. -

Mediocre 2011-09-22
I went there after reading a bunch of good reviews. First - parking - quite chaotic and disorganized - even though this place is run by firangs ! Second - the food - expensive and a bit off. Somehow they have tried to combing North Indian and South Indian food in a strange way and the upshot is that it just doesnt work. The ambience was okay but I think the whole decor is tacky. In fact I find the whole place quite tacky what a shame to destroy a beautiful hill to build this ugly tasteless temple complex ! Instead of asphalting the whole place they should have planted trees. -

higher taste 2010-11-16
Had a pretty good time at Higher Taste. The waiters are courteous and helpful. Infact what would usually take like 10 minutes for me to get a table, happened instantly because my friend had booked a table via explocity (the restaurant week people) and I agree with quayler that the food could use a facelift but the discount was awesome -

Just doesnt work. 2010-11-14
I went to The higher taste yesterday - I dont normally frequent pure vegetarian high end places but just though I would give it a shot. We didn't have the buffet but we had a few dishes a la carte. We had a `sheek kabab' ( Rs 140 ) which was quite mediocre. I thought at least it would be a `paneer kabab' but it turned out to be some sort of mildly spicy mashed potato wrapped in some sort of covering which I could not quite ascertain. It was quite bad. We ordered two other dishes - a creamy palak with channa ( Rs 140 ) which didnt quite work out as the channa did not absorb the flavours so the... read more -

Just OK 2010-11-10
After the initial hype, we wanted to try out this place and ultimately made it today. Wish to crisply articulate our experience:
1. Ambience: just fine. Could be better with brighter lighting, ethnic designs and soothing music in addition to lilting bhajan
2. Buffet Spread: good enough. Interesting items such as Peanut butter fries etc., Dessert spread can be increased, given the price of the buffet
3. Presentation: items on the buffet spread could be written more clearly and also interspersed with some flowers.
4. Service: good and attentive. Could be bit proactive. But the... read more -

Outstanding veg buffet! 2010-10-28
Being a passionate non vegetarian, I generally avoid going to 'all veg' places unless I am badly plodded by my husband who loves his greens. Me n my colleague visited this restaurant one afternoon for a meeting.
Housed within the precincts of the Iskon temple,Higher Taste impresses with its classy, high-end, fine dine setting and a strictly vegetarian menu. Once our meeting got over, both of us were curious about the buffet that was laid out. The sights n smell of the food was too tempting and we just had to indulge. The buffet spread was HUGE and offered loads of choices, signature dishes... read more -

Truly a "higher taste" 2010-09-30
Had been to this restaurant with the family this week.
Nice ambience and the food tastes great. We opted for Dinner Buffet which cost us Rs.330 per head.
Buffet spread was good and food was tasty.
Definitely a place to go if you like vegetarian food which is non-spicy and light ..
Good place for elders too........ :) -

Expensive Taste. 2010-09-01
Surprised to see ISKCON venturing into a High class Restaurant business in their Temple Complex. We five of us visited this restaurant for Buffet Lunch, with prior reservation. The ambiance and seating are good. There are plenty of items to select from Starters to Ice Cream, with Northern and Southern cuisine spread to select. No doubt it is of higher taste. But the price of Rs.350/- per head seem to be high, and far reach for a middle class devotee of Sri Krishna. -

Great Place for families and elders 2010-08-13
In One word: Will it be worth a visit? YES
Summary: These guys serve Satvik food (no onion, garlic and red chili). The small dip in taste because of the lack of these items is more than made up for in the lavish spread of items available for both lunch and dinner.
Great: Lavish Buffet Spread (All Veg including the pastries). VFM Buffet (Rs. 330 including taxes). Heavenly Vanilla ice-cream (natural vanilla). kid friendly with non spicy pasta & colourful salads.
Good: A few unique dishes (e.g. asparagus broccoli curry). Nice ambience. Easy parking within the Iskcon premises. Small... read more -
