Imagine eating some of the best Indian cuisine in an opulent royal palace! This is the aura here at…read moreRoyal Taj, your treated like Royalty there's marble, lit fireplaces, amazing, crafted cocktails, and excellent-attentive customer service. The dishes are plentiful and made with the freshest ingredients. This place does not cut corners on flavor, quality of meat, or presentation. Amazing dishes we tried chicken tikka masala, lamb rogen josh, vegetable pikora, warm and crispy garlic naan. The prices are affordable and the portions are plentiful. I highly recommend this restaurant for a special occasion or date night. The owner is very friendly he comes around and talks to his regulars and introduces himself to his new customers. The experience is memorable.

Finally got to check out this popular spot after hearing so much about it through Yelp. We stopped…read morein for a quick lunch and were quickly seated in a semi-private room surrounded by shelves of REALLY nice whiskey. The owner's collection is really impressive and I'm already planning a trip back with my partner to explore more of the spirits. My friend and I ordered the half serving of fish curry, half serving of butter chicken, and veggie pakoras. Everything was delicious and came out quickly. The butter chicken wasn't like any other butter chicken I've had -- it was more rich in flavor and leaned more towards a tikka masala in my opinion but it was still good. It came with only one serving of rice for both orders so if you prefer more rice, order extra. It wasn't my favorite basmati rice I've had though. The service was extremely attentive and at times a bit suffocating. Once our food came out, we were checked on 5-6 times in a matter of 10 minutes all by different servers. After a certain point, we both got annoyed because we just wanted to have a conversation without being interrupted every 2 minutes. Waters were refilled any time even a small sip was taken. It seemed like the servers were bored and just trying to find something to do. But I would've much preferred our own server just stopping by once, so my friend and I could've enjoyed our time to catch up. Beyond that, the space is gorgeous with lots of fancy decor. We felt a bit underdressed actually. My friend and I both said how we'd love to come back for a nicer dinner and eat at the bar so service is more relaxed next time.

Amazing! I ordered…read morethe Shrimp Curry and the Shrimp Biryani I asked for extra spicy with both dishes and I also asked for some extra lime and onion and they provided !

Everything from the Samosas (both veggie & chicken), the naan, down to the rice (cooked with a full cinnamon stick). I'm so excited for my leftovers and can't wait to try more from here.

Went there on a Saturday for lunch buffet. It's a big disappointment as we entered and saw the…read morefood placed. We still convinced ourselves saying maybe the food tastes good. We saw only a few items , but costing $20+ per person and we were 4 of us. All the food trays were empty and the food was served cold while it was 12 noon. We checked with the manager about this and asked if they could serve the food hot. We didn't get a very positive response but he kept saying the food is hot. We had started eating and were in dilemma to continue eating or just pay and leave. Finally we were frustrated and decided to leave the place. We asked for the bill, and he charged us for two people originally and charged it to one person. We paid the bill and left the place. I didn't want to post this, that's why it took me about 3-4 weeks. But I still wanted to put it out there so that they can take the customers bit seriously for the food they serve and the money they charge. While they run their business to earn dollars they should think that even the customers that visit them work hard thru the week and just want to spend some good time with their family on a weekend, and they pay from their hard earned money. So it's mutual. Don't take your customers for granted, and serve them whatever in the name of Indian food. This is nowhere Indian both in terms of taste or service. Please change your restaurant name anything but India., because I know you are not an Indian restaurant.

Really hoping…read moreit'd be a great find so we wouldn't have to go to Ellicott City or elsewhere for good Indian food. I must say the rating for this place is very deceiving. Makes you expect a gem. Unfortunately, it's not a gem for us. It's like you went to someone's house as a paying guest. Small place. You pour yourself a warm cup of water from a carafe that's on your table. No ice. Get in line to pick up your own utensils and even a napkin out of its plastic wrap. No service at all, which can be a good thing I guess. Do you tip anyways? I don't know. Considering everything, the price is high. Sad for us. Back to searching.

Off the bat I knew the bread was going to be amazing just by how hot and airy it was. The beef kabob was so flavorful and tender. The chicken wasn't quite as good in my opinion but it was cooked absolutely perfectly. I wish it had a little spice or punch to the flavor. The sauce that came with both dishes was also very good. The star of the meal was the mantu. It's hard to describe to someone who hasn't had it but it's a dumpling with a bunch of seasoning and sauce on top. I wasn't a huge fan of the consistency of the pumpkin, I wish it was more a mashed potato fluffiness. Overall, I'd say this place is my new go-to for beef kabobs.

Food was very warm and got delivered in less than 30 minutes. Prices were very affordable as well.
