Tao Asian Kitchen - Nagpur

I just love this place. Super Friendly staff. Asparagus Spicy Sushi was amazing. Jasmine tea goes perfectly with all the dishes I tried. Thanks for the complimentary Jasmine tea. Surprised that I enjoyed pure vegetarian menu so much. Hope to come back again. Must definitely come to try out this place. Music was soothing to the soul.

Tao is one of the better fine-dine restaurants in Nagpur. Being a vegetarian restaurant one would think it’s limited in its options and tastes, but surprisingly it’s not. It has a lot to offer and to suit your palate especially when you have a hankering for Oriental Cuisine.<br/ <br/ Coming to the food, it seemed wise to go for the Chef Tasting Menu called Tao Omakase, primarily because we could repeat any of the orders as much as we wanted. It started with some Jasmine tea which acted as a palate cleanser. But it was so good that I kept ordering it throughout the course. Then came the edamame seeds which went well with soy sauce. Then there was a paneer item which was there and there abouts. The spring rolls were simply delectable and so was the lotus stem dish and predictably both were ordered again. <br/ <br/ Then came the dimsums which were piping hot and well presented but this is probably the only dish where you’d rather have the non-veg alternative. The sushi arrived thereafter. There were two kinds and both were scrumptious. Added with the wasabi flavour, the sushi’s really made the day. <br/ <br/ In the main course, there was Hakka noodles and a special kind of burnt rice which tasted quite good. Here again, the vegetarian stir fry item could’ve been replaced by maybe a grilled fish or something, if the option was there. <br/ <br/ In the deserts, they provide chocolate brownie with ice cream. This rounds up one of the most amazing treats in all. Again, they don’t have liquors served yet. Some wine would go really well with the food.<br/ <br/ I would definitely recommend this place and would also suggest to the management to make the changes as mentioned above. Cheers.

Had an amazing experience at Tao ,Civil Lines , Nagpur.<br The restaurant has an amazing Ambiance, not too fancy, simple which just perfectly with the cuisine they offer.<br <br We ordered Water Chestnut and Tofu Bao, Dragon Roll Sushi, Warm Melting Chocolate Cake and Honey Tossed Noodles.<br The bao was perfectly round, smooth and soft and was served in bamboo basket. The filling was supposed to be a mix of water chestnut and tofu but it tasted as if negligible or no tofu was used.<br <br The server made the sushi ,mixing it with the sauces at the table. The part I liked the best is, he helped us understand the taste of the sauce before it was added to it.The sushi was perfectly crispy and the wasabi perfectly gave the dish that dragonly fire, one thing which I didn't like was , a lot of soy sauce was added by the server which kind of overpowered other ingredients.<br <br Honey Tossed Noodles tasted a perfect combination of hot and cold. Hot caramelized sugar coated crunchy noodle with honey and the cold vanilla ice cream made this delicious dessert probably a little too sweet than required<br <br Food Taste and Quality Rating : 4.75 5<br Staff and Service Rating : 4.75 5<br Economic Value for Money : 4 5<br Ambiance and Seating Arrangement : 4.9 5<br <br Overall Rating : 4.75 5

Food 5/5<br/ Ambience 4/5<br/ Staff 3.5/5<br/ <br/ This is perhaps one of the best places to have sushi. Sushi's are quite authentic. Seating can be improved though. Staff at times feel too intrusive while asking feedback which is a bit irritating. But overall they are warm. <br/ <br/ Things one should definitely try <br/ 1. Assorted SUSHI plater<br/ 2. Dumplings in chilli oil <br/ 3. Pan fried noodles

Sushis taste best with salmon and prawns, but since the place is vegetarian options become limited. I have had Japanese cuisine in other places with non vegetarian stuffing, so kinda find that better. Ambiance is amazing. In Nagpur this is a good place to fine dine. Nice venture.
