Taj Mahal Indian Cuisine

I had enjoyed Taste of India (same location) despite the curt demeanor of the staff. Their food was solidly good. I had high hopes for its replacement.  What a disappointment for my Friday take out.

The rice was overcooked to a tasteless mush, despite its bright yellow, inviting appearance.  I prefer not to have vegetable added to my rice, which they do, but I recognize that is a personal choice.

My son took two bites of his chicken tikka masala and said, "This isn't very good." He has had Indian food from several restaurants, but I still encouraged him to eat a little more. "Maybe is it not what you expected, but give it a chance."  He took two more bites and asked to be excused.

My paneer masala had woefully little paneer.  The sauce was flavorless, though they did get the spice level right. I asked for medium, and it had a little zip to it, but no real flavor.  

Our garlic naan was OK. Frozen from Trader Joe's is better.  This was badly burnt, not enough garlic.

The atmosphere is better than the previous owners.  Nice table cloths and napkins.  Friendly staff. The sweet are beautifully displayed. But I spent $30 on a thoroughly disappointing dinner, and I won't go back.

I recently discovered Taj Mahal! A friend and I have made several visits to the prior Indian cuisine establishments at this location, which weren't horrible by the way.. But wow, I am so glad I did! Their Tandoori chicken is amazing, yellow daal is the best. The buffet is very solid especially for the 7.99  price! I recommend you try it!
