"Today (26th September), I visited The Higher Taste inside ISKCON temple. Generally, the food here is very good, and I have dined multiple times in the past with a pleasant experience. However, this time the dinner buffet was very disappointing. The quality and variety of the food were extremely poor. None of the dishes were hot or tasty, and it felt like the lunch buffet items had simply been carried forward to dinner. This was quite unexpected and made the overall dining experience horrible compared to previous visits. I hope the new management looks into this and maintains the standards that The Higher Taste is known for."

"The food without a doubt is delicious, and one of the best in towns. Although the à la carte orders could have a little bit more quantity. I mean, it is slightly not justified for the price you are paying. But nevertheless, a wonderful experience overall."

"The food is prepared without onions and garlic, and some dishes surprisingly do not require them. While the prices are a bit high, considering the devotion to Krishna that is central to the process, financial concerns seem less significant. I find it fulfilling to eat prasadam and contribute financially to the temple. The experience is quite satisfying, and I thoroughly enjoyed it."
