I normally eat vegetarian and I was in the mood for a vegetarian lunch with a lot of options…read more Indian food is always a favorite so I chose Taj Tandoori because it was close to our hotel and looked nice from the outside. 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.

A long time ago I went to Sydney and discovered an obscure Indian restaurant that had the best…read moreIndian food outside of India. I never thought I would find another. Not least in a city like Karlsruhe but.... Life is full of surprises. The ingredients taste fresh, the ambience is fantastic, the food is well cooked with the right amount of spice and the service is excellent. I had the garlic Naan, bhindi masala, mix veg curry and Palak paneer. They were all good but palak paneer was the best. If you are in Karlsruhe and craving some Indian food, come here first.

Walked in on a Tuesday night before 7, so we were able to get in without reservation…read more We had samosa,aaloo chat, chicken tikka and paneer. Food was excellent and the recommendation from the waiter was on the point. Good service and good food.

My son found this restaurant. It is centrally located in town. We ended up going twice. Each tie…read more he ordered an entree that had cheese(he is a vegetarian) that he thought was one of the best meals he has ever had. The sauce was amazing.(see attached picture of his dish) The first time I got chicken tikka marsala, my go to dish at any Indian restaurant. I thought it was good but sort of bland. The second time we ate there I ordered the butter chicken, as it had the same sauce as his cheese dish entree. The butter chicken dish was outstanding and I would highly recommend it. The first time we went the restaurant was not crowded. The second time it was packed and we were lucky to get a table. So you might want to make reservations.

I'm new to the city and staying in the Crown Plaza. Saffron was an easy one minute walk away. 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.

We ordered a three course meal that included soup, Tandoori chicken, lamb, okra, rice, desert, and naan of course. All in all we are glad we stopped here and will definitely return if we are ever near Karlsruhe again.
