I asked for a recommendation, and the staff member on the phone suggested chicken pakora. I requested something tandoori-style instead, and she suggested the chicken tikka and tandoori chicken, saying it would be ready in 15 minutes. Unfortunately, the food was a letdown. The chicken had a very strong, unpleasant smell, was heavily dyed with artificial coloring, and didn't look or taste appetizing at all. The chicken tikka came in surprisingly small portions, which didn't feel worth the price. Sadly, we couldn't even get through a bite, we ended up throwing the whole thing away! We had ordered based on the great reviews and high ratings, so it's hard to understand what went wrong. Maybe it was an off day, but we left very disappointed. Not likely to return.

Literally right off I-70 (exit 59) in the BP gas station parking lot on Rt. 41 S, this food truck is GOOOOD!! Pretty extensive menu for a food truck, definitely something for just about everyone, from apps., breads, entrees, traditional drinks and desserts. I wasn't 100% excited about my dal makhani (spicy lentils w/rice) but that's on me, not them. It was a little too soupy for my liking, next time I'll try something else. My paneer paratha was a great alternative to the usual na'an, MUCH more flavor... I'd go for that option, or something similar, again. I asked for extra chutney, the green was great but the red was a watery mess. VERY reasonably priced, quick and friendly service, what's not to like?

I'm Indian, my mom was a chef back in India, and I say that only because it means my standards for…read moreIndian food are... unreasonably high. I've lived in Atlanta for almost 30 years and never found an Indian restaurant that got it right. Then I stumbled onto Taj on Fifth in Columbus, Ohio on a business trip, and it might be the best Indian meal I've had outside of home. The lamb chops were incredible... I single-handedly finished the entire order and have no regrets. The butter chicken was the real thing: creamy, properly spiced, none of the honey-sweetened version so many restaurants pass off as authentic. The garlic naan was thin and crispy on the outside, yet soft and chewy in that perfect way you only get from a real tandoor. I'm a 100-pound woman who typically can't finish a single entree, let alone two. Most Indian food is so heavy and greasy that I'm done after a few bites. Here, I polished off a full order of lamb chops and half the butter chicken and garlic naan... one and a half entrees, solo, no help. ‍ Rich, properly balanced, and never heavy. That's rare! The service made the meal even better. My server, Deepak, struck that perfect balance...attentive without hovering. Turns out he's actually the owner and the chef behind the menu, and he took ten minutes tableside to chat with me. We realized he trained at IIHM in Hyderabad, which happens to be my hometown. That explains everything... the food isn't just made with passion, it's made with real technical training behind it. I also had the Jasmeen Dream cocktail, which was a great pairing. If you're anywhere near Columbus, this is a must. I'm already trying to figure out an excuse to go back.

When we walked in, the restaurant was filled with happy diners, many of whom appeared to be of Indian descent--which is always a great sign when you're looking for authentic Indian food. We ordered the classic butter chicken and beef korma (we substituted beef for the lamb), along with the garlic naan. The garlic naan was perfect--crispy on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside, and the perfect vehicle for scooping up all that delicious curry and getting it straight into my happy belly! The sauces were absolutely amazing and packed with flavor. The servers were also very friendly, attentive, and professional, which made the experience even better. We were really happy with our experience at Taj on 5th and so glad we stumbled upon it while searching Yelp for great restaurants nearby. Definitely a wonderful find and a place we'd happily return to!

After AGES of planning to try this place, I finally convinced the Mr. that we should give it a try on a sunny Saturday late afternoon/early evening. We placed our orders (several items not available, but that's understandable; it's a HUGE menu for a food truck!!) and waited about 20-30 minutes in the shared outdoor dining area adjacent to Corner Cone. Our meals were both "fine," but about 80-90% rice. The side orders of na'an and two samosas were a good break from the rice. Not bad, not great-- I've had Indian food before, but since was the (finicky) Mr's first try, he "could take it or leave it..." Good enough, not too pricey, but not nearly "the best Indian food I've ever had!!!" Still in search of the winner of that title here in Ohiooooooooooo!!
