Taj Indian Restaurant

Went at 8PM on a Monday so place was largely empty. Wait staff was friendly (i.e. no attitude from them because it was nearing closing). Older gentleman was my waiter. He suggested the non-vegetarian Thali combination platter after I advised it was my first visit and requested a suggestion. For just shy of $17, I got so much food I could barely finish and I went there with a good appetite. Platter included tandoori chicken, saag paneer, chicken makhani, dal makhani (a lentil and bean dish), naan bread and a dessert (similar to an airier doughnut hole suspended in a simple syrup). In case you believe the menu picture to be overly flattering, it really DOES look that delicious (see attached cell phone pic). Although the plaza the restaurant is located in looks on the rundown side, inside it's clean and inviting. Though I found it all delicious, I felt the saag paneer (a dish with creamed spinach and cheese cubes) and the chicken makhani aka "butter chicken" (moist flavorful chicken bites in a tomato and butter based creamy yogurt sauce) were the standouts. The makhani had just enough spice to leave a slight afterburn whose edge was removed by the mango lassi (a drink much like a very thin yogurt smoothie). The lassi included enough yogurt to give it a very slight sourness avoiding sickening sweetness. My only minor grievance is that some of the naan (Indian flatbread) was slightly overcooked. This is heavily recommended for the modest cost, good flavour and generous portions. EDIT:Review is actually from August 2017. I did a minor edit today to fix a typo I noticed.

Exceeded my expectations. Tried the buffet for lunch, mostly normal Indian buffet, but a couple items I've never tasted before. Very good and spicy. Heat levels were higher than other similar buffets, which is a plus for me. Service was quick and they also can make garlic naan which is one of my favorites.

Love the bread as appetizer from the back of the menu. We ordered the Non-vegetarian Combination dinner. It was pretty good but the red meats were too salty. Overall, we had fun trying Indian food for the first time. We will be back to try the lamb. Thank you!

Food and atmosphere were amazing. Staff is very friendly and helpful. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to try something different. The buffet has something everybody can enjoy no matter what kind of flavor you're looking for.

The Garlic Nan is PHENOMENAL! I don't care for some of the food choices that they offer because I'm not big on Indian food. Some of the better selections I did enjoy. It's a very nice restaurant.
