The sauce was luscious and velvety, even if it showed up tonight with a mild personality. I kept waiting for the heat to clock in for its shift, but apparently it had PTO approved. Still delicious though. The vegetable samosas were crispy on the outside with that delicate, comforting filling inside. No notes. Just solid. And the garlic naan? Dangerous. I told myself "just one more bite" at least seven times. It's garlicky, soft, and basically a carb trap I willingly fall into every visit. Now... the service. Let's just say if attentiveness were a spice, it was left in the kitchen. Our waitress vanished for extended periods like she was filming a documentary about the back of the restaurant. No check-in, no "how is everything," no interest in whether we were thrilled or quietly combusting. It felt less like dining and more like self-guided Indian cuisine. Food: still outstanding. Service: spiritually elsewhere. Four stars because the kitchen deserves it. The front of house might need a little masala of its own.

Hands. Down. The best Indian food I have had in a Long Time (since living in Southern California)…read more The most authentic Indian food I have in the ENTIRETY of the South. We had the Dosa and Naan where were both made fresh and fantastic. Then we had the Mutton Sukka. I wish it had a little less bone in it but that's a personal preference and the flavor profile was wonderful. Finally we had the Vijayawada-style chicken biryanis which was absolutely spectacular. We will definitely be back. Often.

The biryani was also really flavorful and they give you a large portion, I feel like I could split up the leftovers into three portions. The inside is really pretty and clean.

We loved that you can pick different spice levels, and the spicy hot is accurate. Their menu is quite expansive, and I cannot wait to come back to try other menu items!

The creamy, rich, and spicy flavors of this dish just hit the spot - especially in the winter with cold weather. But it's just as tasty in the summer.

We started with the onion methi spinach pakora as an app. This was kind of like a hush puppy with fried onions mixed in. The brown sauce was amazingly sweet but spicy - definitely our favorite of the two. We chose chicken tikka masala, chicken tandoori, and vegetable korma as our entrees. This came with a serving of basmati rice. We thought this was a great combo of things - chicken in a sauce - chicken fire grilled and on the bone - and veggies in a sauce. We'd recommend all 3 of these and would get the exact same thing again! We are huge fans of garlic naan, so of course we both had to get an order of that. The "Dinner for Two" for $54.99 included all of this and a bottle of wine! It says that this is their special Tuesday-Thursday. Service was extremely friendly and parking was no issue. It's in a shopping center off Lorna Road. We will definitely be back!

I picked up the meal and they were friendly and offered me a water while I waited and asked me some detailed questions about rices and such to make sure I got what was expected. Also let me know that I could get some good deals on the website instead of the delivery app I ordered through. The food was delicious. The curries are spicy and the meats tender. The rices absorb and mix with the dishes wonderfully. Everything was so good. I'll be back, the ambiance was fascinatingly Indian themed and I want to do a sit down dinner in the restaurant for that reason.

Ridiculous for a vegetarian dish! So I thought maybe I will try their buffet. Once again totally underwhelming. Soggy Nan and Kulcha bread. Cold! The papadum was old and rancid. The taste of all the food was really terrible. Nothing looked freshly cooked. Chicken 65 supposedly their signature dish was dry and over cooked. PLEASE PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT YOU SERVE!! You get away by a lot of people not knowing what GOOD Indian food should taste like.!!

Thankfully, Saag Paneer was a generous portion and we didn't have to stare each other down as we went for a second serving. Sooo good. You know what else was great...everything! Our Butter Naan had the perfect blend of char on the outside and fluffy on the inside. We got fried Papads. I've purchased packages from stores and heated them at home and enjoyed my spiced, crispy snack. The Saffron Papads have now ruined my home snack because it can't touch the crispy ones from Saffron. I'm cool with that. I will definitely be a Saffron regular.

The butter chicken was so good and it paired perfectly with rice given. The service there was great. The staff were super nice and very attentive with their tables making sure that we had everything we needed. The food came out quicker than I expected, which is a plus. The ambience of the place is also very pleasant. The light is dimmed, which makes a place easy on the eye, and the tables are set up nicely. Overall, I think Taj India is a great place to go out and eat. Their prices are not too bad I spent around $18 on my meal. I would recommend Taj India to a friend!!

Before we even arrived, I pointed out to my husband that I thought the price point was a little high, but maybe the quality of food made up for it. So we arrive and see a long line of folks waiting for their food. We get up to order, and their out of samosa?!? A main staple and you're out after being here for 30 minutes?!? Oh well... we place our order and wait. And wait. And wait some more. And wait a little more. Close to an HOUR of waiting. We finally get our food and head back home. Like I said at the beginning of the review, I was worried about the price, and it def. didn't live up to the quality/quantity. My rice was cold (HOW?!? After waiting an hour), the salad and naan were minimal, and so was the raita. My husband enjoyed the flavor of his chicken and fries, but again I don't think it was worth the cost. The person who gave us our food asked us to let him know how the food was, so here ya go... we won't be coming back.

The main issue was the wait time. We got there about 30 minutes after they arrived, thinking the crowd would have died down by that point. We arrived and saw a huge crowd. However, none were actually in line. They were all waiting, and had been for 30 minutes at that point. We ordered and ended up waiting almost an hour for them to get our order completed. I'm not sure why it took that long but that is simply not acceptable. As for the food, I had the waffle curry fries. It had a good amount of heat, and I enjoyed it. But not enough to wait that long again. It's not worth an hour of my time.
