We have been eating at Taz grill on Saturdays for the last 3 or 4 weeks…read more The flavor of the dishes on the buffet lines are just ok. The only thing consistent about the buffet is that there is nothing on it that is much hotter than room temperature. I'd have to say that either they don't know how to operate the steam tables or the steam tables are broken. On the good side..... if you go when there isn't a buffet the food is usually better and warmer.

The food was wonderful. The chicken was moist and flavorful. I had a it medium (spicy) and it was…read moredefinitely spicy. My husband had a goat dish which was also medium spicy. So if you can't handle too much spice then ask for mild. Sorry I can't remember the names of the dishes but they were both rice and the sauce they were cooked in was red. We also shared a spinach and tofu dish that was yummy. The nan was excellent. Lastly we enjoyed an apricot dessert which was fabulous. Our waiter was one of the owners so he was very helpful with explaining the menu items. The staff was professional and attentive. The dining room was bright, clean and neat. It's still brand new so they are still working on utilizing all the space. We will definitely go back to try other menu items.

Kids had the samosas that were mild, crispy from the outside, and well-cooked. Service was great. There were disposable plates and cutlery to eat the food to minimize the cleaning effort.

Fantastic, unexpected Indian cuisine in Nederland, TX!…read more We ordered a nice sampling for pick-up since my parents had never tried Indian food - Chicken Tikka Masala, Chicken Vindaloo, and Chicken Kadhai. All were a hit - especially the perfectly spicy vindaloo. Garlic naan was warm and flavorful. And of course, I had to get some vegetable samosas, which were incredible. The tikka masala wasn't the best I've had, it was a bit more on the yogurty side. But still great flavor and delicious to mop up with the naan. The men at the restaurant were very friendly! He made sure I had all my items and knew what was in each bag before leaving. Also, the entrees DO come with rice, so don't make the same mistake I did and order extra. I've got rice for days...

(This is my opinion though as every meal I tried was spicy) but non the less they were delicious. Wonderful and helpful staff and great portion sizes. Things to definitely try is first the mango lassi drink! Delicious!!! Don't knock until you've tried it! Then the burnt garlic fried rice with dynamite chicken or the chicken tikka masala also enjoyed the lamb masala. Their menu is a mixture of fusion and traditional Indian foods. The only thing I didn't enjoy that much was two of their deserts, the gulab jamun which is like donut holes soaked in sugar, it was overly sweet for me and then the gajar ka halwa which was like a sweet potato desert. Everything else was tasty and delicious and I truly had a great dinner.

It was not packed & easy to get to on Saturday, it was absolutely worth it. The food was light, fresh, and bursting with flavor. I loved it.

A group of us one for dinner and we tried several different dinners and shared them amongst us. We were seated quickly and they accommodate our group of 10 easily, we placed our order in the food, came out, reasonably quickly. The main course started with a salad, and we ordered both garlic and buttered nan. Our main courses included mahkani chicken, vindaloo, fish, chicken biryani, spinach paneer, momo dumplings, and several orders of King of Texas platter. The flavors were wonderful, and when we ordered a few of us, ask them to dial up the spice, but be careful. The service was very good and attentive, and the restaurant was relatively quiet from noise. Some restaurants are just super noisy, and TAJ is not. If you enjoy Indian cuisine, I know you'll enjoy this restaurant.

Place was decent but they had a big fan in the corner which meant the restaurant wasn't cool. Service was decent but nothing to write home about all the servers are very nice.

If you're searching for a culinary experience that's local, I highly recommend Amrina. We were greeted with a wonderful sign from the Amrina team wishing us a happy anniversary. The service was exceptional, and the entire experience felt so special. Every bite of food was flavorful. The presentation was creative and beautiful. All the staff were knowledgeable in the dishes and shared great suggestions for cocktails. Thank you to Chef Jassi Bindra & team for making our anniversary so memorable. Looking forward to going back for the chef's table experience.

The neo modern interior is stylish and chic. Our group opted for the 10 course Chef's table tasting menu with wine pairings. The Chef's table is in a semi private space right in front of the kitchen, separated from the main dinning room by curtains. It was fun to watch the kitchen in action, but the area felt a bit warm at times. Presentation was definitely one of the highlights of the evening. Each dish arrived in uniquely designed serve ware and each wine was presented in a different glass. The ingredients were top-notch, featuring Hokkaido scallops, Wagyu beef, yellowfin tuna, etc. That said, while some dishes highlighted the Indian flavors we were expecting, others leaned more towards American fusion. The wine pairing complemented each dish well and the sommelier provided detailed explanations for each wine. My favorite dishes of the night were the chaat and the lamb chop. Overall, we enjoyed the experience and appreciated the quality of the ingredients, the service and presentation. However I wish there's more emphasis on the Indian flavors. Based on the glimpse of the flavors we experienced in some of the courses, I suspect I might enjoy a simple bowl of vindaloo or curry from their regular menu more.
