The cheese was pretty flavorless, and I ordered this dish "very hot" but there was probably only two bites that I tasted any spice. I don't understand the 4.5 stars here and would not go here again.

Excellent food along with the best service is served here. The pricing is also very reasonable here.read more

I finally decided to try this place close to the airport hotel in Hamburg. The food was ok…read more Portions are tiny. We had to wait for almost an hour for the food to arrive. It was just two orders of chicken curry, one rice and one naan bread. The waiter seemed to avoid all eye contact during the time we were waiting for our order. A bottle of water for 7€ seems way too steep. A bit of an awkward experience. Don't think I will come back again. :/

I had very few choices for food staying so close to the Hamburg airport for a week. Taj Mahal was a…read more10 minute walk from my hotel and I ventured out one night to avoid having another meal at the hotel bar. They have a nice and unique interior. It was a quite evening since I didn't make it there until 9:30 PM. I ordered chicken Biriyani as my main meal and was I in for a surprise or what. The dish arrived steaming and was quite unique compared to any Biriyani I have had in the past. The rice was laced with apples, grapes, raisins along with nuts. I have never had so many fruits in my biriyani but it did make for one interesting and unique dinner that was on the sweeter side but the nuttiness and chicken flavor balanced it out well. I ordered a dessert to finish that was extremely sweet and covered in something like a mango sauce. This was a little too sweet for my taste but I will definitely go back and would love to try other dishes from the menu.

A nightmare experience! Bad Food, Bad Service. The starter…read moreordered by me and my wife, the Pakoras a la carte, tasted soggy and stale, were hard, and certainly not freshly made as the waiter told us. When the service was informed about this, they were very annoyed and reacted angry and extremely unfriendly. We got a new plate, but these were not much better. As the meal started on a wrong note and the service remained unfriendly, we were afraid of what they were doing to the food in the kitchen, so that we just nibbled at the food and left hungry as we could not trust the kitchen and the food. No claims should be made here otherwise the aggresive attitude of the service can spoil the whole evening!

Excellent takeway offering the same Indian food as Shikara restaurant sells just around the corner…read morefor about 30% less of the original price. The menu here is slightly smaller but still features a lot of mouth-watering meals. (As a plus I'd say they still get the chef to do your fave dish from the restaurant if you ask nicely - and pay a little more.) During lunchtime they usually have 2 special treats for about 5 Euro each going: one veggie style and the other one for the carnivore. It's always quick service, really friendly staff and a great value for money. The place itself is tiny and you find about 3 tables with stools inside as well as a big table outside - right next to the road. It can get hot, crowded or steamy (or all three of them in one go, too) so it's always cleverer to take the delicacies home instead. Also they do catering for bigger parties / the office which is really nice, too.

I used to love eating here and even after it changed its name it was my go to for relatively…read moreauthentic Indian fare. Over the last three years or so, however, the service keeps on declining and I find that the fond memories fade away. I usually order by phone and then pick up my food within fifteen to twenty minutes, so rather quick. Why only three stars? Over the years personnel has changed and nowadays there is a man in what I assume to be his thirties who is in charge of operating the cash register. And boy, is he unfriendly. I usually get along very well with people and he seems to make a point out of appearing what I can only define as mildly condescending ranging towards pissed of. Whoever that man is, the service attitude he does (or rather does not) display is reason for me to take my business elsewhere. The food itself is good, but there are other authentic Indian restaurants in Hamburg and I shall not walk out of this shop once more with a grudge because I just handed over my money and was made to feel like a nuisance.

Außerdem wäre es schön gewesen, vorher zu wissen, dass eine Portion Papadam Chips (Plural) anscheinend nur etwas mehr ein halber Chip ist. Bei drei bestellten Portionen haben wir nämlich genau zwei Chips bekommen. Gleiches beim Roti. Als das Essen dann endlich ankam, wurde entgegen des Hinweises in der Bestellung sehr zur Freude des schlafenden Babys geklingelt. Wenigstens hat das "Biryani mit Cashews" - mit einer Cashew - ganz gut geschmeckt.
