A Fantastic Indian Lunch Buffet!…read more Taj is a gem! The restaurant is modern and very clean, and they have a full bar, but the food is the star. The lunch buffet here is the perfect size with excellent chicken, goat, and vegetarian options. The food is delicious and so flavorful. The staff will bring a basket of fresh baked Naan to your table. Taj is nice enough for a date or for a work lunch. I'm definitely coming back soon.

We ordered family-style, and every dish that hit the table was vibrant, aromatic, and made with love. The tandoori chicken was simple yet so comforting, it arrived in a sizzling skillet adding a hint of flare in the presentation. Each chicken piece was beautifully charred, and coated in a bold, smoky marinade. The curries were so rich and each one had its own personality. The creamy yellow curry from the Chicken Korma was very rich in flavor while the saagwala was earthy, well-seasoned, and not over-puréed. Personally my favorite was the chicken korma the curry sauce was just on another level, I highly recommend this dish. The lamb biryani was another highlight with fragrant basmati rice and huge chunks of lamb generously garnished with fresh cilantro. Bread lovers be warned! The naan was hot, fluffy, and perfect for scooping up sauces. We also tried the aloo tikki as an appetizer and they were crisp on the outside yet so soft inside. If you're looking for a place to enjoy a full Indian spread with friends or family, then make sure you check Taj out!

And I've been missing out all this time?! Well, no longer. Surati is now my go to, to sate my exotic whim. This Caucasian family arrived on a sultry Friday evening. We had to wait until the monsoon had passed before we trekked to our destination. I mean to tell you, that it was a torrential downpour! But we were on a mission. As we approached, and before we even went inside, we were met with the intoxicating aroma of spice. I turned to my daughter, "uhhh Missy, I think that this is going to be epic." Oh yes, daddy, just wait. A very friendly gentleman greeted us at the counter where you order. The poor guy. He had to explain to us several times what we were ordering, as our western ears strained to capture through his thick accent. Every time he explained, and we couldn't understand, my daughters voice got louder as if that would make it better. It didn't, but it sure made it more hilarious! Communication was finally struck and so too an understanding. Our order placed, we found a corner table and settled in. It wasn't beyond our sensing, that us four were the strangers in this land. All the more appealing. It wasn't but for a few short minutes before our first dish found its way to the table. Now, before I go further, I have to warn you that I can't remember, much less, begin to pronounce the names of these items. I can only describe and tell you that they were all fantastic. Our first selection, was a platter of these crunchy puffed things. Our server explained, (a couple of times lol), how we are supposed to handle these delicate bites. "Punch a hole and put water in." We knew that he meant sauce, so that's what we did. Boy was that water ever tasty. Next were the Samosas. Yes, I know. I remembered that name. But only because my daughter kept saying get the Samosas, daddy, get the Samosas. I did, and I conquered. They didn't last long. Next up, fried spinach things. Those may have been the best of all. But wait, there's more....boy was there ever. The big dogs hit the table in short order. A giant crepe pancake stuffed with onion and potato, a spicy rice dish, and lastly a noodle dish. By the time we dug into these, the tanks were almost full, so half of it perfumed our car for the travel home. The only thing left for that evening was to engage with our dreams. At this writing, I'm still having a conversation with Gandhi while on a barge floating down the Ganges. Quick Tip: After indulging, head up the street to the Plaza Mariachi and grab yourself some cooked plantains at Tres Gauchos. Mmmmm plantainy. Those cowboys can sure rustle up a fine dessert. Muy Bueno!

After a long week, the last thing I wanted to do was cook dinner. It was late fall and I was keen…read morefor a drive so I pointed the car in the direction of 'Nashville's Queens' and looked for a place to strike my fancy. Surati had been on my radar for a long while so when I drove past, I knew that I had made my mind up. Despite it being a Friday night, it wasn't very busy. The inside is small but not so much that you'd have a claustrophobic attack. Parking is easy (thankfully; a rarity these days) so after walking in... I sorta stood there. I'm not new to small mom & pops but I didn't quite know how things worked here and rather than call out, I waited to be greeted. I would have to continue to wait. No wanting to stand in silence with a nearly empty dining room, I asked about the ordering process. Maybe the kitchen (and front of house) was busy with online orders? My service was standoffish at best. Normally I would have left but open hours on Friday night can fluctuate and I didn't want to start over in another queue (it was after 7). Had I eaten in, I would have gone for a dosa. Not knowing how that would travel, I opted for Szechuan fried rice (medium). I hadn't so much as ordered and sat in a booth to look at my phone to waste some time when I was told my food was ready. Either Surati has the fastest chefs in the city or my food was not made to order -- and I certainly didn't experience the 'extras' other Yelpers describe. Not wanting to get into it, I paid and left. I came home to a generous amount of well-seasoned biryani rice and vegetables with just enough heat to let you know you're alive but not so much as to wreck your mouth. I took the W. Food was good enough and I felt that I got my money's worth. Everything else about my experience, though, led me to conclude that this would be a one and done for me. Onto the next.

I visited on a weekday for lunch and it was packed, but was seated quickly. The space has very little in the way of ambiance or decoration, but was clean and the service was great. I tried the classic introductory Indian cuisine meal - chicken tikki masala with garlic naan. The flavor was incredible and the portion size was huge! I appreciated that I received separate to-go bowls for my chicken and my rice, preserving the texture when eaten leftover. The $13 lunch buffet deal can't be beat! I'll definitely be back!

At this point, my family and I have tried most of the food on their menu, and you will still find me dining there. This restaurant features a private parking lot and validated parking. The staff is delightful, and I have always trusted their recommendations. The service is fairly quick, even on a busy evening. The restaurant is extremely clean. Although I have loved most of the dishes that I have ordered, there are a few standouts: 1. Dosa - It's a safe choice but so good. I love the chutney and the sambar. 2. Amravati Grilled Chicken - Highly recommended!! It is tangy, a little spicy, and packed with flavor. 3. Baby Corn Manchurian - For the vegetarian folks, this is a must-try! The lamb biryani is something I may skip ordering next time. It was a little too spicy for my palate, but I know there are people out there who enjoy a good spicy lamb biryani. Nevertheless, I love the food at Amaravati. The portion sizes are huge, and the food is very reasonably priced. I can't rave enough about this restaurant.

Their sauces are all delicious but different than what I'm used to so it was so nice to have that preview Not pictured was the stuffed naan. So good.

I've eaten Indian food in every state and every major city over the years and I have never had Indian cuisine this good. It's so tasty because every single time I go anywhere else and order a chicken tikka masala it's Always spicy and I hate it this only place I've found where they make a tikka masala where it's not ruined by being so spicy that I can't enjoy my meal and end up throwing it away. The service is very nice because since the restaurant is small you can expect it to more personal and fast. This place is relatively small so it very low key. It's the best place to go in the WHOLE USA to get Indian food without the hassle of a huge restaurant. I highly recommend coming trying the food and meet the people that run the restaurant.
