Tandoori chicken
Vincent M.

We were frequently on town and had passed by the restaurant a number of times. We saw they had a lunch buffet listed and wanted to give it a try one weekend. One Saturday we made the drive for lunch. We went in, sat down, and waited a few moments before the server came over. We said we wanted to go with the lunch buffet. At that point the server said they didn't do the lunch buffet except on Sundays. It wasn't 100% clear why, but the menus on the outside windows as well as in the table menu both said "lunch buffet, Tuesday - Sunday". We decided we'd give it a try and order off the menu. I had the lamb rogan josh and my wife had the tandoori chicken with a side of the cheese naan. The naan was quite nice. Fluffy and flavorful. The lamb rogan josh was ok. I went medium spicy, which was a good choice. The sauce was quite thin and the lamb was in very small pieces. Definitely a lot more sauce than meat. The tandoori chicken smelled lovely on the hot plate. A decent amount of chicken, though the seasoning also seems to be lacking a little. We probably wouldn't go out of our way, though I'm curious to see how the buffet is.

Sampler platter

Excellent food, sample gives you lots to try. Large serving of food. Had lots of leftovers.

We dined in house with a group of 6 and loved the food! Chai was excellent, extensive menu options, food is fresh, flavorful, delicious - with your option of spice level on any dish.

Website and menu clearly states Tuesday-Sunday lunch buffet. Arrived Saturday at 12:30 and was told buffet was ONLY SUNDAYS. Seems a lil false advertised

Mango lassi
Aaron C.

Really enjoyed our meal here! The mango lassi was delightful and refreshing. We got Aloo Chaat as an appetizer. Really enjoyed the textures and flavors. The paneer naan was warm, fresh, and delicious. I got the rogan Josh extra spicy. It brought the heat! Lamb was super tender. It went over well with the basmati rice. My wife got paneer masala extra spicy as well. She really enjoyed it. The prices are very affordable for the quality you receive. Service was great, and there was a nice ambiance. If ever back in the Culpeper area, I would not hesitate to return for a great meal!

Butter Chicken & Tandoori Tandoori Mixed Grill Special
Gigi L.

I've been dying to try this place out, and am disappointed that I didn't come sooner! This is based off of a take out review, but I'm sure the experience would be just as good if not better dine-in. I called in our order, although I think you can also order ahead through Grubhub. I arrived a bit early and the staff was very friendly and offered me a seat and a drink while I waited. Food was nicely packed and still hot even after 45 min before arriving home to eat. We ordered butter chicken and the Tandoori Mixed Grill. Both a great value for all the food you get (both come with basmati rice which is not pictured), and the favors are wonderful without being too overpowering. My favorite was the butter chicken with rice and plain naan!! Yummmmm. Looking forward to coming back for the buffet post COVID!

What  is it chicken pakora!!! I don't think so
Abdullah M.

I am so disappointed when I ordered Samucha, chicken pakora, and veggie pakora. The food was below below of my expectations. Usually pakora and samucha does not go wrong but I was so wrong. Food was not as fresh as I expected... It really taste like microwave food . The food is also expensive. I will not waste my money and time here again. Hi, This is my second review. I got worst Shrimp curry I had last 10 years. Taste like shrimp in tomato soup. Don't waste you money here.

Really great food and service! We ended up ordering extra to-go for leftovers. The butter chicken was some of the best we've ever had.

Chicken Biryani was delicious- light, spicy and exactly as I hoped. Wonderful Indian food in the heart of Culpeper.

I had such a great experience here that I couldn't writing a review. From the moment I walked in,…read morethe atmosphere felt warm, welcoming, and comforting. The staff greeted me right away and the service was great! Now the food was absolutely incredible. The butter chicken over rice lunch special was packed with so many flavors, it was perfectly seasoned, and freshly made. The spices were balanced beautifully, and each bite seriously tasted better than the last. It's the kind of food that makes you stop mid-conversation because you just want to savor it. I ordered 2 different things to try, and not a single plate disappointed. Everything came out hot, beautifully presented, and full of rich aromas that made me excited before I even took the first bite. It honestly ended up being one of the best meals I've had in a long time. Overall, TAJ Indian Cuisine gave me an experience that felt absolutely delicious. If you're looking for amazing Indian food with wonderful service, this is the place. I'll definitely be coming back and bringing friends with me next time!

Stopped in for some Indian cuisine on a Sunday afternoon. I was planning on eating in - but the…read morerestaurant is all booths - I prefer a table to have some room to adjust how close I am to the table... So I placed an order to go: Vegetable fritters and Goat Vindaloo (Indian spicy), with the tomato & cheese Naan. Food was ready in about 15 minutes. The Vegetable fritters were crisp and tasty. The Goat Vindaloo had good heat and was delicious. The Goat meat was very tender. However, there were a lot of bones and cartilage. You have to be very careful eating this to NOT swallow something you shouldn't. It shouldn't be this hard to get properly butchered and prepared Goat. I've been to other Indian restaurants that have zero bones in their Goat Curry/Goat Vindaloo. The Naan was also very good, Overall, food is tasty, but the bones really drag down the ranking for me. Service was good. Paid with Apple Pay. I'll have to try something different next time - AND ask as to whether the dishes I am ordering have bones/cartilage in them. #TAJIndianCuisine
