    Shush kabob- one chicken, one beef. The beef has lamb in it. Served with hummus, lettuce and garlic sauce.
    Christina H.

    We went to Taj Ali on a random Thursday night when we felt like Middle Eastern food and were on the south side of town. My husband and I both ordered the shish kabobs and shared a side order of falafel. The menu was sizable but the naan was not included with our shish kebab meal even though it came with hummus on the plate. The falafel was larger than any other I'd had and was crispy on the outside and more moist on the inside than I have usually experienced- my husband really liked it. He liked the beef-lamb kabobs and I liked the chicken kabobs. It was $42 for the both of us to eat at a fast food style strip mall restaurant. While we both agreed we would go back to Taj Ali, we won't be hurrying back.

    Chicken Kabob plate! Wow! Extremely Flavorful!!

    This little restaurant is easy to miss but as soon as you walk in, you smell the aroma of authentic cooking. From the very first flavorful bite you are sold.

    Beef Kebab Plate

    Authentic and delicious. We tried a few things and liked it all. Will be back to try more!

    Ordered the chicken and beef kabob meal togo. Food was nice and hot after a 15 min drive home and was a very generous portion. The rice was nice and fluffy and the chicken and beef kabobs were bursting with flavor. The garlic sauce was not overpowering and the hummus was nice and light with the olive oil on top. The other meals looked delicious, and I will definatly be trying some of the other items in the future.

    Falafel

    Food was Extremely flavorful and juicy. The rice and hummus were delicious, the whole plate was delicious honestly. They have a very nice spice on their meats, every bite was amazing with how moist the chicken was. Definitely 10/5 stars. Clean place also, lots of drink selections too. Service was also very fast and polite, dined in and was out in no time. Went back and got Falafel to go as a snack for later.

    #10 chicken tikka over rice.  Addition of garlic sauce.

    Food is a 10 on flavor, cooking, and it presents well. You could tell that care and quality went into preparation. Good value and should be voted as a Lincoln's best.

    There are a lot of gyro places in Lincoln. A lot! There is one right next door! We chose this one,…read moreand it was fine. I love a good Greek salad with a lot of vinegar dressing and sometimes this is hard to find. This was not a lot of salad, it had sliced black olives; there was a lot of tomato that just didn't taste good. Dressing was not right. I did love that it was served with some good potatoes which I felt like kind of a cross between Greek potatoes and steak fries. I also like that there was a lot of tzatziki sauce. The meat was nice, not dry. It was just the "salad" part that I didn't love. Maybe next time I would just have a gyro instead. Service was fast, prices were appropriate. We sat outside. The other family members were happy, they are less picky than I am.

    I'm super bummed. I just had the worst tandoori chicken kebab I've ever had here. In more than 28…read moreyears of me coming here, this has never happened. The kebab was way smaller, overcooked (dry, whereas they used to be big and so juicy) and under flavored. The yogurt sauce was flavorless and is now served in solo cups (more plastic waste), the salad just tastes like plain overwhelming vinegar. No lemon. No tomato. The potatoes were ok but also no lemon flavor and the rice was super plain, I don't even think there was salt on it. My husband's z plate also was lacking the usual flavors we have come to love. The meat was bland. We are utterly disappointed. The prices have gone up which is understandable if the portions and flavor stay the same. I don't even know if I want to try and come back, it seems like this is the new product the newer owner is serving. Maybe his uncle will come back and refresh his memory.

    I. Love. The. Oven. I get the same order every time, and I…read moremight be biased, but I think it's the best order out there. I always get the spinach bread, which is naan-stuffed with paneer and spinach, and is so soft and melt in your mouth delicious. I dream about the naan. Then for my main, I get the lamb bhuna with the soup on the side. I've tried a few other main courses and I honestly think the Lamb bhuna is the most flavorful thing on the menu, and a spiced so well. The mint chutney that they have to dip with the naan is also so good. I could probably drink it. I crave the oven so often. It's definitely a very busy restaurant so I would recommend making a reservation beforehand, otherwise you'll probably be waiting a pretty long time! The patio Haymarket location is super nice when the weather is good.

    I will come back and try some more dishes. For starters the stuffed naan was excellent. I asked if…read morethey could mix the tikka and spinach and artichoke combined to one stuffed naan. Everybody at the table loved it. The soup starter wasn't my favorite it didn't have much flavor to it but if you squeeze the lemon in it gets tolerable. Too much soup though. The chicken bunha was probably the best dish forgot to take a photo. Pretty strong onion flavor. The chicken tikka Marsala although good with the right amount of spice was a little different than I was used to. Overall will be back to try again.

Subtly flavured lightly sweetened rose lassi. I would have preferred a stronger rose favour but i did like this as well. We ordered chana masala fr appetisers- which came with bread. It was soft and fluffy. Not as expected as i was expecting curried chana masala with curry gravy. This was like a warm chickpea salad. It was delicious though. Hubby ordered mixed tandoori and I ordered madras lamb biriyani. Loved my biriyani. Lamb was delicious - tender and flavourful. The rice was very nicely spiced- had cashews and raisins and some dried chillis. Very comforting flavours for me. They had sitting internally and on the patio. Internally, it was quiet and elegant - tastefully designed. Also quick google check revealed that they are dog friendly on the patio. We will be back with our dog in tow! Love it!!!

Our table was ready for us and Raj our waiter greeted us right away with some chilled water. We ordered a light drink and chana masala with bread. I had the mixed tandoori grill with rice. We enjsosued the masala and chatted about how nice it was there. The decoration are interesting and really caught the eye. Our main dishes arrived and we both loved them. Mine was full of flavor and the rice was nicely seasoned and cooked well. Overall it was great and we will have to come back to try more.
