Waiting for biryani be like
Sowmya V.

My husband & I dined here for the first time and we had a great time. We got seated right away and our server was very attentive. Food arrived in about 20 minutes and everything tasted really good. We were glad that we chose the dishes recommended by our server. My favorite was the Chicken Dum Biryani and hubby's was the Goat Curry. Parking lot is huge, ambience is super casual and I recommend it for date nights.

The food was VERY good. I want to make that clear before I continue. I feel I should start with the most important thing: I ordered chicken saag, and I received what I presume was lamb (picture attached) but I am still not sure, as nothing was said. While it tasted great, I was not informed of this before, during, or after receiving my meal. I didn't notice until I took my first bite that it was not chicken, and if I were someone with a red meat allergy (which I have a close friend with,) it could have ended very badly. This really put me off, but again, it tasted good, and I also did not want to wait any longer for my food & I was already feeling uncomfortable in this restaurant, so I just ate it. As mentioned in the previous bit, I felt very uncomfortable here. We were made to pay before even receiving our food, and while that's perfectly fine, she had requested us to fill out the tip portion and be done with it at the very beginning as well. Before this, I had ordered both their Bullet Naan as well as Chicken Saag, and I requested for the entree to be hot; when ordering both of those dishes, I was made to feel wrong for asking those to be hot. I do understand that people will complain that their food is too hot very often, especially white people (which I am,) but I do absolutely *love* spicy food and when given the option I order my food with the highest level of spice. The saag I received I do not believe was actually made to be hot, as the Bullet Bread was much spicier than the dish I received. Each item we ordered was also charged as $1 above the price listed on the menu, and I did not like the lack of transparency with that. Another thing that bothered me a lot was the woman who had taken our order stood very close to our table the entire time we were eating, and I felt weird talking about the food at all (especially the mishap with the meat) while she was standing basically right over my shoulder. Overall, I did not enjoy the vibe of this place whatsoever. I am here on vacation, and I had come here on a craving, but I would not recommend dining in here. That being said, the Bullet Naan is ABSOLUTELY a menu highlight, and I do very much recommend getting it. I would order online as opposed to going in because, again, the food is great. I can't say one thing bad about the flavor.

Truly a hidden gem and hands down my favorite dining spot! I love Indian cuisine so that makes it…read moreeasier. If more than five stars were available, they'd get it!! After first being introduced to Royal Taj by a good friend years ago, I kept coming back. Not once did I have a bad experience. The service here is top notch! Everyone here treats you like royalty. This is where I have my annual birthday dinner. I come other times too, but this is my absolute must for my birthday! I've brought others here and everyone falls in love with them just like I did. I brought my family here this past weekend to celebrate my mom's 75th birthday and everyone had such a great time. I can't thank Royal Taj and it's owner, Binda, enough for the amazing service and hospitality!

Dinner with my husband and (adult) daughter. Greeted and seated promptly…read more Ambience is A-plus. It felt cozy and private where we were seated. We were surrounded by a plethora of beautiful bottles of liquor sealed and decorative. Service was spot on. Waiter checked up on us periodically (not in a bothersome kind of way). The food was very good. Here is a list of what we ordered: Lamb saag Basil pomegranate martini Bhindi masala Dirty martini Sangria Chicken biryani Samosa Papadam Mango lassi gelato for dessert All dishes and drinks were enjoyable. We plan to revisit and try different items on the menu. *bathroom was clean

This may be the best Indian restaurant you have yet to try in Howard County. I was SUPER impressed…read moreand I don't impress easily. We are big fans of Royal Taj, but the wait to get in is sometimes too much to bear, so we thought we would give Haldi a try. This restaurant is easily AS GOOD as Royal Taj, but without the wait. I should also mention we've been to a number of the Indian restaurants in HoCo and some just aren't worth mentioning. So for those of you who would like to try Haldi (and TRUST ME, you SHOULD), here is some helpful advice: 1) They are in the process of getting their liquor license, but don't have it yet (in case this is a deal-breaker for you). 2) This is South Indian cuisine. You will also notice that the dishes are spicier than "typical" Indian food found in the states. If this bothers you, order "mild," but fair warning, it will still be spicy. Even the chicken tikka masala is spicy. If spice really bothers you, stick to butter chicken or something similar. (Note - I speak from experience - The butter chicken is good, but it is not spicy). 3) The mango lassi was the best I've ever had (yes - even better than Royal Taj). I highly recommend the Mango Lassi. 4) As someone else mentioned, they are closed on Monday and close mid-day during the rest of the week. If you stick to typical lunch and dinner hours, you'll be fine. 5) Clearly the chef has some executive experience. All of our meals were presented beautifully and were garnished appropriately. I was quite surprised - I didn't expect this. The food here is divine. So be sure to patronize this establishment in Elkridge. It's worth the trip!

The food was amazing, I enjoyed the lamb vindaloo and will have to try the goat next time. Service…read morewas excellent, very attentive. The atmosphere was nice and calming, a beautiful place to eat.
