Report: https://directindex.org/r/thetasteofindia.co.nz
Scanned: 2026-10-22 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.)
The Taste of India is partly visible to agents.
An AI assistant can open The Taste of India's website. It can read what The Taste of India offers. It finds a way to book or order directly on the site.

## Direct links
- Book directly: http://thetasteofindia.co.nz/contact/ (on the business's own site)
- Menu: http://thetasteofindia.co.nz/menu/
- Phone: +64 210 251 6507
- Prices: 4 prices on the site, the middle one NZ$5.00

## Nearby, also direct
Places near The Taste of India that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between.
- Biryaniwala (1.3 km): https://directindex.org/r/biryaniwala.co.nz
- Indreni (2.2 km): https://directindex.org/r/indreni.co.nz
- Roops Vegetarian Sweets and Snacks (2.2 km): https://directindex.org/r/roops.co.nz

## What to fix first
- **No structured data for the business.** (+15 points) Add schema.org JSON-LD for the business (Restaurant, LocalBusiness or the closest type, with name, address, telephone and openingHoursSpecification, plus servesCuisine and acceptsReservations). Every assistant reads this block first, and the fix kit below has it filled in. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **No working HTTPS.** (+3 points) The page is only served over plain http. Browsers and agents rank it lower or refuse it.
- **Ordering only through ubereats.** (no points, but worth doing) Every transaction an agent makes goes through the marketplace, which takes its commission. Add a direct way on your own site. Even a simple form will do. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/online-ordering-without-delivery-apps
- **No llms.txt.** (no points, but worth doing) Optional for now and cheap to add. It's a short text file that describes the business for language models. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/llms-txt-for-a-business

## What the site tells visitors (Measured, not scored)
- **4 prices on the landing page, the middle one NZ$5.00.** In Auckland, the middle price of comparable sites that show prices is NZ$20.00.
