The Taj Mahal - Exquisite Bangladeshi & Indian Cuisine - is by far the best restaurant of…read moreMachynlleth indeed! I would say it is better than all of the Indian places in Aberystwyth, and I have never been to an Indian restaurant in North Wales. There must be some good ones, too somewhere up in the north of the country. In England my favourite city is Leicester for an Indian.
The owners are very friendly guys, so is the staff.
It is a take-away place, too but take-away is not for me really. I like to enjoy the atmosphere of the restaurant itself. The interior looks Indian. There are some round tables and unlike too many Indian restaurants in Britain the tables are not too close to one another. Often there is Indian music being played.
In the past we have often enjoyed a good meal there on birthdays, Valentine's Day, and we take friends and relatives to the restaurant.
The price is okay, too. One cannot complain really. A chicken tikka mosala costs 7.95.
The menu is so varied and I often do not know what to choose from. I simply like everything. They do oriental starters, tandoori dishes, specialities, balti bhoona, tandoori special bhoona, balti dopiaza, tandoori special dopiaza, balti jalfrezi, tandoori special jalfrezi, balti pathia dish, balti rogan josh, tandoori special rogan, balti sag walla, malaya, korma, dhansak, madras, vindaloo -ohh, a little bit hot but nice!!, curry, biryani dishes. There's a lot of vegetable side dishes to have and rice, of course. I love the peshwari nan with coconut but the garlic nan is good, too. Do not forget the chutney and pickle tray.
I say Cheers with a good Indian Kingfisher beer!
