Taj Restaurant: Reviews & Ratings
I went there last night with 7 other friends. I have never eaten in an Indian restaurant before and the food is absolutely delicious. The owner could not be more friendly and accommodating. Everyone enjoyed their meal and there was plenty to take home for leftovers!
We had a great waitress! She was enthusiastic and gave us some great suggestions of what to try out for our first time there! She was so enthusiastic and pleasant and advised us well. We tried some fabulous dishes. Food was amazing and we will be back again soon! Glad you have an authentic Indian restaurant in our town! Will recommend to everyone we can!
Food is delicious! Owner/server is super nice. Sadly not many people in here, but it truly is a hidden gem! Have been twice and will keep returning.
Food is amazing !! I loved the sauce for chicken tikka. Usually, places make it more liquid type, but this was thicker with so many spices, it was the best chicken tikka I've had ! Husband had the shrimp tikka and he said it was one of the best he's eaten. Very beautiful inside. Will absolutely come again!
Food was delish and the staff was great. They used fresh ingredients and willing to adjust the heat/spice of their dishes. We are looking foward to going back.
Hard to spot from the road, but I'm glad we did. The Chicken Saag I ordered was very good, as was the Samosa appetizer. Both were spicier than one would expect at most places (I would advise anyone reading that 'medium' does not mean 'not spicy', it means it still has a good kick to it.) Garlic naan was delicious as I'd hoped. The mango lassi I ordered was distinctly different from mango lassi I'd ordered elsewhere - slightly less sweet, but the cardamom flavors really popped. Their samosa sauces were also quite distinct - try them before you add them to your samosa or any other dish. They're very good, but also quite potent. Afterwards, the manager spoke with us to make sure that we enjoyed the meal - a very friendly man. Honestly, despite how non-discreet the restaurant looks from the road, it's one of the best Indian restaurants I've been to. The only negative thing I could think to say is specifically for new parents: they do not have changing stations in either bathroom, so prepare accordingly. Also, I see that one of the other reviewers felt the portions were small. I can't speak toward his experience, but... my portions were not small. I ate until I was very full and brought leftovers home. I did not attempt to split an entree though, which it sounds like he did.
Ordered 4 different dishes for take out to share. All came with a side of dal (lentils) which was like getting a free dish and was my favorite thing I tried...soooo good. All of the dishes and naan were yummy, perfectly spiced (we asked for spicy) and was decent portions. Only regret...not ordering dessert. Bonus...the restaurant is connected to a liquor store...one stop shopping!! Will be trying again very soon...thanks for good Indian food close to my home!!
