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.

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.

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.

*Disclaimer: I have been to many indian restaurants, so this is based on proper comparison and not…read morepersonal opinion* Ok looking restaurant. Has a 7.99 lunch buffet Mo-Sa 11:30 to 14:00. However lunch buffet options are VERY limited, not even basics like Tikka Masala offered. Base options from usual Indian Lunch buffets are missing. Menu is elaborate, lots of options, but mostly meat, not too many vegetable choices. Dhal soup was a total letdown. It's just a flavored water with way too much salt and not a single lentil in it. Dhal or even dhal soup always comes with lentils. (At least they offered to bring a new soup when I didn't eat it + 1 star) Bread is also not very authentic, tastes like toasted tuerkish bread, not like homemade indian oven bread. Not in a bad way, just not authentic. Chicken Vindaloo was pretty on point and good, also good spicy level. Chicken Tikka Masala was also pretty good (even though not the typical Tikka Masala taste). Portion sizes were normal, not small but not huge either. Prices run around 12-15 per main dish which includes basmati rice. It's about the same as other indian restaurants in Heidelberg. Update: They took of the Dhal soup of the bill, for that it's another star.

The place is super nice, the decor is super cool and they have some cool music and videos going on on TV. The staff is super nice and they are so friendly! this place also accommodated our party and separated our checks for us. THE TROPICAL- this drink is refreshing and also it is a little weak but for a light drinker this was perfect! I was looking for a fruity drink and this was perfect. CHICKEN SHAHI KORMA- this was a pretty good dish, it is a little bit on the sweet side but none the less pretty good. this is also not a spicy dish so it was perfect for me, but if you are looking for something not in the sweet side perhaps this is not the dish for you. CHEESE NAAN- this was a fresh piece of naan, the cheese was a bit weird, it looked and felt like scrambled eggs to be honest but the taste was definitely there. LUNCH OFFER SMALL - we also came another day and tried their lunch special, they had two sizes a small and a large, I selected the small and I was pretty satisfied with it, the choices are depending on the chef for the protein but it is a perfect way to sample some of the dishes they have on the full dinner menu. the small dish is definitely enough for one person and I even took some food home. This place is pretty good and they also take cards. this was a great experience and I definitely recommend.
