I was camping on the…read moreisland and a little tired of camping food so i went for a vegetarian platter and took it to a park as takeout. As per the descriptions I read of this, the spices are subtle and mild unless you ask for extra heat. Which suites my taste. The vegetarian curry had a variety of vegetables and spices + choice of 3 vegetable dishes. My carrot, broccoli and beet choices were each special subtle and full flavors. Came with a mango yogurt and chutney and a crunchy garnish too. I upgraded my rice to Chamba which has a more interesting flavor and texture and I also ordered Raita extra because I love this tangy veggie-herb yogurt side. It all hit the spot and I would go back again next time I'm in the area. The container has to be handled carefully since two of the dishes were quite soupy but you could also order a sturdier cup in a larger serving. The owner was super friendly and also offered me little tastes of a couple other dishes while I decided. (It was a non busy early afternoon time) These include a couple meat options also available and were very good also. Easy parking, on north end of the town.

Delicious. It's tiny and takeout only, but good things come in small packages, and this is proof. The owner/chef, "Unni," went out of his way to explain the ingredients, history, and culture, while providing tasty samples of everything. He clearly takes pride in what he does, and I'll be coming back a LOT. I don't know if they're there all the time, but his two delightful children were playing while I waited, and once they got over their shyness, they couldn't have been more entertaining. They insisted on pasting stickers on their dad's face, which he wore proudly. Lots of fun. Fortunately for me, Unni serves many meat dishes (beef, pork, chicken) in addition to vegetarian fare, so there's something for everyone. They even offer three kinds of rice! I see some complaints about the food being bland, but that wasn't my experience...quite the opposite. Lots of intriguing spices! Check it out yourself. Oak Harbor needs places like this!

Their garlic naan has so much more seasonings than any I've ever tired, the tamarind and green sauce that came with it was our favorite for sure. I cannot stress enough how good the naan is.

This is not goodbye forever. We are actively exploring a new location, and once we find the right place, we will be sure to share the update with you here. Until then, thank you for being part of our journey. We hope to see you before January 1 and look forward to serving you again in the future. With gratitude, "Taj grill n spice"

Came here for a vegetarian lunch option…read more Which I wasn't eating pescatarian today because on the door there was a $9.99 lunch special for chicken LOL. Nevertheless, wasn't sure what to order out of the vegetarian options and the very nice server recommended the tikka masala. There was good taste and this is probably the nearest Indian restaurant within a 15 minute radius. I did pay $15 plus tax and tip so was on the pricier side. I think that this is a great option though if you are interested in Indian food!!!

I feel bad leaving this review and wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt, but this was…read morehonestly a very disappointing experience. I had to use up my Grubhub credit and there weren't many options in Oak Harbor so I decided to just take a chance and try this place out... tandoori vegetables, can't screw that up too much right? It... wasn't tandoori. Nothing seemed cooked in an oven, it was just some cooked veggies with a sauce on top. The sauce was pretty tasty but nevertheless the dish was not what I was hoping to get. The chef was kind and did help me wrap up my order. Also same issue with ordering as other reviews, Grubhub said order went through and confirmed, restaurant called me 15 min later and said they had a weird order come in with no location for delivery, but I had ordered pick-up. It ended up being ready 30 min later but just super confusing. Their delivery system doesn't seem to work well, I'm not sure what the issue is, if it's related to Grubhub/Doordash, but seems to be consistently happening. Would call to confirm if you do place an order.

To start, it's garlic butter and cilantro naan, soft and warm, 2 large pieces. The rice is basmati and fluffy, vs other's jasmine.

We kicked things off with the Chicken Samosa with Chaat and--OMG--mind-blowing. It was easily the best I've ever had; if I were forced to pick a favorite from the night, this would be it. We followed that up by splitting the Butter Chicken Fries (pure heaven), the Meat Combo Plate (absolutely packed with flavor), and some perfect Garlic Naan. Honestly, every single bite was a 10/10. To wash it all down, they have a fantastic beer selection with five IPAs on tap. We shared a Reuben's Brews IPA, which was the perfect crisp pairing for the spices. What really made the night, though, was the vibe. Everyone there was so incredibly nice. Our waitress/bartender was so kind and helpful, and even the chef came out to chat with us! It's rare to find that level of hospitality paired with such incredible food. What a wonderful experience!

I don't know which was my favorite: the absolutely silken, delicious Butter Chicken or the prawns. I am kicking myself because I don't know which prawn preparation, but it was recommended by our server and it was fantastic. The prawns were fat and juicy and perfectly cooked and, frankly, I would love them in any of their sauces. The one recommended to us was divine. For my beverage, I tried the lassi--a totally new experience for me. I was forewarned it was a salty flavor. I am not sure I would order one again due to my taste preferences, but I would say the preparation in this restaurant was probably as perfect a one as can be. So if you like lassi or want to try it, I would wholly recommend this one.
