Thankfully, the restaurant has been spruced up a bit with a new floor, ceiling, and some new tables. It's lighter and airier and certainly looks less dingy. The rolling cabinets housing the buffet chafing trays are fewer and smaller, so there are fewer items offered than what was customary for Dosa Hut's extensive buffet. I was a big fan of Dosa Hut and am happy to report that most, if not all, of the old menu items are still there, and a few new ones have been added. I see bhel puri, pani puri, samosa chaat, and several different biryani preparations among them, but I haven't sampled them yet. The emphasis is still on South Indian fare, so expect dosas, idli, and sambar. I don't know dosas from shinola and have hardly ever had them elsewhere, so I'm no expert, but I love the plain dosas I get there. They're huge, and paired with the accompanying coconut chutney and small bowl of sambar, it's a massive appetizer that often doesn't leave room for much else. My favorite dish is shrimp biryani. I tend to order it at every Indian restaurant I go to for comparison's sake. It's moist, spicy, delectable, and full of good-sized shrimp. I've never had better in the dozen or so Indian restaurants I've visited in the Southeast. Like its predecessor, I think Taj particularly excels in their vegetarian offerings, especially those with shredded paneer. So methi malai matar and paneer bhurji are our go-tos. We're also really fond of the kaju khoya. All three dishes are delightfully creamy, and we eat them over rice. I can't say I'm a fan of their saag dishes. They puree the spinach, and I'm not a fan of the texture, but from my reading, it's commonly prepared that way, so to each their own. I've been to their buffet once, but it was near the end of their lunch session, so I wasn't surprised that the offerings were getting a little old. Not going to hold that against them. Service is very attentive. For what it's worth, soft drinks are served in cans with a glass and ice, and there are at least a few bottled beers available. All in all, a great little place with a revamped menu and interior well worth checking out.

I think the delivery trip contributed to the floppy texture, I'm guessing it would be better eating this at the restaurant. Aaloo Gobi: this dish had a brothy consistency. I was surprised by this since I've had creamy sauces in my experience but this is the first time I tried this dish so I didn't know what to expect. The flavor was good but the Medium spice I requested was non-existent. I would like to try other dishes in the future.

The three stars are because it's just not my choice of a meal with a lot of spice as it was hard for me to taste the flavors and enjoy the meal with the hotness and spiciness overpowering. Yes, the service was amazing and the explanation given was exceptional. And yes it was communicated to us ahead of time regarding the bread not being made in house which again might be okay for a different clientele. I am just someone who is looking for a nice homemade bread because those are not some of the regular things that we make everyday at home to enjoy them. Thanks, This restaurant is located right in the downtown of Chattanooga in the most busiest streets. They are located next to this pizza place called community pie. This is the first time we are going to this Indian restaurant. However, this is not like any authentic Indian restaurant that you may have tried in the past. Here are the chef seems to be wanting to make or create something different than a regular Indian restaurant, which I think if you are someone who is looking for something out of the ordinary then this is a place to go. The spice level on the food was normally more than what I would have wanted. They have very less menu options and they have some vegetarian. I am unsure if they even have any vegan options. They are good for business, casual and family friendly. The parking is on the street. There is no separate parking lot. I am unsure if they have any outdoor seating but then we went in Winter so there was no outdoor seating open at the time. I'm also unsure if they do any carry out but I want to guess that they do. The service was amazing. The person who served us discussed in the length about chef's options and creations and give us details on different menu options on the menu card. Their panipuri is definitely delicious.
