They not only serve variety of tasty food, but also treat their guests like family and make them feel at home. Inspite of being busy serving several customers at a time, they pay close attention to each guest as if they are their only guests at that time. Love their hospitality and service. This is not just a restaurant, it feels like a second home.

I love the food. Absolutely delicious and their garlic naan, perfect. I had a lamb dish I think it…read morewas called Rogan Josh or something. I got a spice level seven and that was perfect. Just enough to taste the spice without it burning you. My friend got spice level five and didn't taste anything spicy. I also had the mango lassi which was great. The restaurant is located on a strip mall. Nothing fancy. The bathroom was clean. The tables are super weird. It's all booths and the booth is movable but it's attached to the booth/seat behind you if that makes sense. So if you move your booth forward, you are moving the person's chair behind you backward. it was an uncomfortable set up but at least the food was delicious.

Though the appearance of the restaurant is unassuming, the food was outstanding. Our host was very…read moresoft-spoken and very nice. I got the Chicken Malai Tikka, and my husband got the Chicken Kobideh; both were very flavorful with their spice mixtures and cooked to perfection. We would like to go back sometime during their buffet, to have the chance to try a variety of things, to find more new favorites!

I got the lamb biryani and a mango lassi. There was so much rice that it could probably feed three people! The lamb though, wasn't quite as generous. I got it medium spicy. It had a kick but wasn't overwhelming. I also really liked the mango lassi. It had a strong yogurt flavor and not as sugary as other places. Our server was very friendly. I hope their business picks back up, because what I had was pretty tasty.

Can I give 10 stars? Choolaah absolutely exceeded expectations. Randy took our order and delivered…read moresome of the best customer service I've experienced in a very long time!!!He was genuinely friendly, patient, helpful, and welcoming from start to finish. I was struggling a little with the self-service kiosk, and before I even had to ask, Randy noticed and immediately jumped in to help. That kind of attentiveness is rare and honestly made the whole experience better. Food-wise, everything was fresh,colorful, flavorful, and customizable. The butter chicken was rich and comforting with just the right amount of spice. The lamb and paneer salad loaded with toppings was filling and packed with flavor and texture. The naan with dipping extra sauce on the side was perfect for sharing, the mango lassi was smooth, easy to drink (I have had some that was too too thick) and refreshing. the samosa chaat brought a great mix of crunch, spice, and sweetness. Really impressed. My only disappointment is that I waited so long to try it. Great food is one thing, but great food with outstanding service is what makes people come back!!

Yum! This place came up in my suggestions on Yelp and I am so glad that it did!…read more This is a "build your own" style restaurant like Chipotle or Moe's but with delicious Indian food. There was an appetizer that I had never heard of or tried before, so I wanted to try it (similar to a pani puri). I was ordering for takeout, but they said if I wanted this I really should eat it in house immediately because the shell would get soggy and not be as good. I appreciate the tip because I would not have otherwise known that. And I am so glad I ordered it because it was delicious! The combination of the sauces with the shell and contents was a flavor blast. Definitely something I will order again. For the bowl, I did a build your own. They also have pre-designed bowls that might help if you are feeling overwhelmed with the choices. I made mine with white rice, paneer tikka, tiki masala sauce and several of the toppings. The portions were generous and they answered my questions about ingredients and let me sample sauces while I was making my decisions. When I thought about adding something that sounded good, they advised me against it saying it wouldn't work together with what I had already put in (but weren't pushy about it). I appreciated the feedback. The bowl was delicious and filling. I enjoyed every single bite and it was the kind of meal where I was actually sad when it was gone because I enjoyed it that much. I'm not in the Robinson area that often, but I would definitely come back any time I'm around.

On a scale of romances to documentaries, Tikka Taj is an ode to savory flavors…read more I ordered the Tandoori Chicken, Vegetable Samosa, Garlic Naan, Mango Lassi, and Butter Chicken.

Very good spot in the Moneroville area. I think it's pretty new as well, but already a nice setup…read more Their menu has many both Indian and Pakistani classics, and the food has a great homemade flavor to it. I got to try the Kashmiri chai, dhaba daal (chana daal), and the chicken kebab roll. The chicken kebab was really good. The paratha was flakey and just perfect, not too oily and just a tad crispy. The chicken was also well cooked and well seasoned, and the white sauce was pretty nice as well. Nice portion for the price. Unfortunately, I didn't get a photo of the chana, but it was just average. Not bad by any means, but nothing to make note of. I will say, most restaurants serve this with rice, and for some reason rice was not included in my takeout. Finally, the Kashmiri chai was very nice. What a pleasant pink color. Nice balance of the spices and milk. Very wholesome, somewhat floral flavor to it.

Today I was on bus 54 returning from the Science Center ordering on my phone and trying to beat Salem's 1pm to 2 pm Friday prayers. I ordered 2 hot large meals, both the same. Was going for a 12 and 6 oz of Chilli Chicken and 6 oz of paneer but actually ordered 12 oz of chillies chicken, the paneer and 6 oz of chicken gyro. Sometimes mistakes are good. That chicken gyro meat was great and very tasty. We shared 6 oz of it over rice and still were too stuffed. One suggestion. If you do carryout, BRING YOUR OWN BAG. They pack it up but half the time it leaks. But on a very pleasant note, when we were waiting for Bus 54 to go home, a very nice young man stopped, noticed us, rolled down his window and gave us a bunch of paper towels. I LOVE THIS TOWN.

I found a staple in my food tonight. Thankfully my tongue caught it before anything worse happened…read more For context, my toddler and I were sharing the plate. Like any parent, my first thought was: what if my son had swallowed that? I brought the staple with me and spoke with a manager at Salem. The response I received was incredibly disappointing. The only thing offered was a drink. No real concern, no meaningful response -- just a quick attempt to move past it. It left a really bad taste in my mouth, and not just because of the staple. Please be careful eating here.
