I have eaten Indian in Singapore on banana leaves with my fingers, but Best of India in Nashville is simply the best Indian anywhere (even London or Australia.) Anyone familiar with ""butter chicken"" will relish the Chicken Tikka Masala here as it melts on the tongue and makes almost anyone new to the restaurant just close his/her eyes for a moment and smile. We've tried the vindaloo, the saag (spinach and chicken), the scrumptious somosa appetizers, the jalfreezi, and several vegetarian dishes. Every dining experience is top of the line, and Raj and his family provide customer service like we're dining in the Hermitage Hotel. To top off this, you can leave there with plenty of money for a movie, bowling, or whatever since it's really inexpensive. If you drink wine or beer, you can bring either into the restaurant for NO CORKAGE fee! I must recommend a vino verdhe in the summer with some spicy Indian here (and they take no prisoners with the spice!) My only fear about this review is that I won't be able to find a table once everyone tries it. You'll come back week after week just to try something new, and you will never be disappointed!!!
Pros: The food, the staff, the service, the no corkage fees, the new renovation.
Cons: It's just a wee bit away from the Vandy area but easy to find.
