I was…read morehesitant because there were no yelp reviews but I thought I'd give it a shot for convenience's sake. Gilbert, an employee quickly introduced himself and said that the restaurant is only one month old. That explains the lack of reviews. The atmosphere is calm and luxurious. The chairs are lush and it feels like a high class restaurant which, luckily, the prices do not reflect. I ordered a caiprihana, a traditional Brazilian drink to start off. I know, weird for an Indian restaurant but it is my favorite drink and they made it perfectly! I ordered two entrees so I could try their tandoori speciality and my favorite chicken tikka Masala. The lamb was out of this world. Perfectly cooked. So tender. This was the meal I was waiting for. For lunch I had gone to a touristy German place and got lamb that was just so disappointing. The lamb here melted in my mouth and had just the right seasoning that you look for in Indian cuisine. The chicken tikka masala was everything I wanted it to be. On top of the amazing food, service was on point. Gilbert took great care of me and even gave me a free schnapps to wrap up my meal! I will be back for sure. If you are in Heidelberg, skip the expensive tourist restaurants and head over here.

The portion were not what I used to in US especially for the price. The services were outstanding as I went with a co-worker originally from India. The part I was confused about was lamb curry which was typically I order from Indian place. I like meat with bones and like Tikka masala. However they were telling me there are meat with bones but those are for grill only. Anyway, lamb meat was good but curry sauce was awesome. Other dishes were great especially prawn curry. And both garlic and butter naan were super tasty. Really loved dessert - Frini. Overall a nice place for Indian food.

The place is super nice, the decor is super cool and they have some cool music and videos going on on TV.

THE TROPICAL- this drink is refreshing and also it is a little weak but for a light drinker this was perfect! I was looking for a fruity drink and this was perfect. CHICKEN SHAHI KORMA- this was a pretty good dish, it is a little bit on the sweet side but none the less pretty good. this is also not a spicy dish so it was perfect for me, but if you are looking for something not in the sweet side perhaps this is not the dish for you. CHEESE NAAN- this was a fresh piece of naan, the cheese was a bit weird, it looked and felt like scrambled eggs to be honest but the taste was definitely there. LUNCH OFFER SMALL - we also came another day and tried their lunch special, they had two sizes a small and a large, I selected the small and I was pretty satisfied with it, the choices are depending on the chef for the protein but it is a perfect way to sample some of the dishes they have on the full dinner menu. the small dish is definitely enough for one person and I even took some food home. This place is pretty good and they also take cards. this was a great experience and I definitely recommend.

It was an excellent choice! The setting is beautiful. We had a table for four right along the water. We went for a weekday lunch. We ordered aloo palak and vegetable korma to share. We asked for that to be made spicy. Our children both ordered butter chicken. We also ordered naan for the table, one garlic, and one cheese. The meal started with a lentil soup. It had a slice of lemon in it which gave it the most delightful lemon taste. I love lemon in my dal so that was a great start to our meal. That was a great indication of what was to come. All of the food was equally as impressive. I have not a single critique for any of the dishes. We live in the San Francisco bay area and love the Indian food from our area. I must say, Taj Tandoori is just as good as anything we would find back home.

Our main course was tandoori chicken, chicken marsala and lamb vindaloo. We also got aloo palak and tarka dal with garlic naan. The food is freshly cooked, very tasty and the portions are big. The restaurant cooks the food with excellent flavor but not very spicy, but if you ask them to make it spicy they will do it for you. Because they make the food fresh it does take awhile to get out to you, so be patient and just relax with a glass of wine. My only criticism is that if you sit near the wall during winter you might be a little chilly. We greatly enjoyed our experience and would highly recommend this place to everyone.

Hopefully you were lucky enought to land a room there too.
