I've been to Taj a few times now and keep waiting to be wowed, and to have it match up with the reputation that lots of folks tout. However, I have found it to be overpriced and a bit over hyped, and last night we had super slow and bad service. I will give them points for being baby friendly, but the wait staff is very uneven. Some of them are wonderful and friendly, and others should be working elsewhere. The food was really just ok. I absolutely love Indian food, as do my son and my partner, and neither of them were very impressed either. I like their buffet and it's range, but when dining there on a non-buffet night, I wish I had gone to India Gate. read more

I go here all of the time.... Just a warning set aside a good 2-3 hours after you're done eating at this place because you will be in a food coma and will have to hibernate for a few hours after eating.. haahah. Anyways, I've been to a lot of different Indian restaurants around Buffalo and Taj Grill is my absolute favorite! My boyfriend and I moved to the North Buffalo area a few years ago and stumbled upon this place. We go all of the time for the buffets. Everything is always so fresh, the staff is lovely and attentive, and I always leave here with a smile on my face. I absolutely recommend going here for their buffets! read more

Awesome, friendly, a little pricey for portion size but I think it's in part with area Indian cuisine. Very very good and the buffet rocks. What buffet doesn't? Is easy to mess up read more

Nothing as bout the food, but today at 9.40 pm when we called to order pick up, restaurant said kitchen was already closed, when closing time was 10.30. Very unprofessional service read more

Came to this restaurant for the first time over Labor Day weekend and loved it. It was clean, with comfortable seating and a simple decor. The menu offered wide variety, and the taste of everything I tried was fresh and well seasoned. No liquor license yet but you can BYO. The waitress was amazingly accommodating, but the main reason I'll go back is the quality of the food. The lamb keema matar was fantastic. Our large group consisted mainly of Indians from various regions and they said this was the best Indian restaurant they had found in Buffalo. read more

Would not recommend. I ordered food to go. I was told it would take 45 minutes for the order to be ready. I told them I would wait in my car and to call me when its ready - the guy said he would. After 45 minutes I came in the place and asked about my order - it was sitting there (for who knows how long) I said how come no one called me? A different guy now said, 'we don't call anyone!' For what I ordered - one order Chicken Tikka Masala and one order of garlic naan - it cost over $20.00! I could not believe how dried out the naan was - it was so old and dry, you could barely chew it - it was awful. I have eaten Indian food all over the world - and this along with the C.T.Masala which also was not good (the sauce was so thick you could not even put it on your naan) - the whole meal was awful and I would never go here again. A total complete rip off for the food quality, taste, and lack of service. Never again. read more

The chicken dish was too sweet!..and the server are not friendly..they take ever to entertain u..don't recommend this place..

Taj Grill delivers! No really... they offer delivery. What a great alternative to Chinese delivery on a snowy Buffalo night.

The cream chicken is amazing! A MUST try! Service is very friendly and wait staff is quick. Overall i enjoyed my experience here!

The staff have always been friendly and the food is pretty damn consistent in quality (great). When you go out for Indian, expect to pay a little more per dish, but it's definitely worth the price read more

Best desi food in Buffalo. Everything is very good, including yellow daal. We also had the fish masala. The restaurant was very clean and the service is excellent. Our waiter was very attentive. read more

One of the finest indian restaurants here in upstate NY. Ambience and service are good. Food is good too! They in fact ask if we want indian kind of spicy food! read more

The moment I walked in the atmosphere was already set. It didn't take long to know I was in for a treat as Pavan was already recommending what food he thought would work as great combos. He was very knowledgeable and definitely served with a big smile. Wait! The food was delicious! So much so that I am taking some all the way back to NJ for my wife! Whether you are passing thru Buffalo for business or pleasure, you owe it to yourself to try Taj Grill. You won't be disappointed! Tell them I sent you! ;) Seriously, Pavan is the best. Ask for him by name! Enjoy! read more

I thought this place was pretty good. Went on a Saturday for the lunch buffet. The oven was down, so instead of naan we got roti which was fine. There were some south Indian things like sambar and Idly which you don't normally see at the other lunch buffets. The sambar was a bit thin for me though. Good variety with multiple meat dishes. Had rice pudding and chai tea for dessert. Based on other reviews, would have liked to try the mango lassi, but maybe next time. read more

Finally decided to try this place out and was pleasantly surprised! The service and food was actually some of the best I've had since I moved to buffalo (comparing Indian restaurants only). Definitely worth stopping by. Try their saag paneer! read more

Went here on a date last week on a Friday. I was surprised I was able to be immediately seated at 7pm on a Friday, but then again the place was only half full. The host asked if we'd prefer a table or booth, which was courteous of him. The service to start was fast and efficient before our meal started, but slowed down when we were finished with our meal. We ordered the lamb samosas (meat was sort of dry), garlic naan (cooked perfectly soft and crispy at the same time and not too much garlic), and the chicken tikka masala (chicken was a little on the dry side and seemed like it had been sitting for a while). I was not very impressed with the heat level of the "hot", and I think I would get the "very hot" next time. I would a variety of dishes here when I come back maybe for the lunch buffet. read more

The food is not bad but it's definitely not authentic (coming from a Indian) so don't expect that. Was happy that they say their food is halal (except lamb). I went to the lunch buffet. The butter chicken was suuupper sweet (would not recommend) but I like the carrot mishti a lot and the korma was good too. The rice however felt like it was left out too long and was hard.. still overall food was not bad, not my favorite though, unsure if I would go back. read more

Taj Grill is by far the best! The service was fast, friendly and spot on. I loved the relaxed atmosphere, our waitress was attentive and even obliged by helping me charge my cell phone since we were traveling back to NJ! The food was amazing, great combinations that make this place the best Indian restaurant around! We drove an hour just to check this place out and we were not disappointed! We will go back and we recommend it to all our friends visiting the Niagara Falls area! Don't miss out on this gem, Taj Grill will not disappoint you! read more

My fiancée and I are vegan. This restaurant has an extensive vegetarian menu and will accommodate vegan preferences where possible. The food is full of flavor and spice levels were perfect. The service is excellent and the wine list is just ok but a step above the boxed wine available at other similar restaurants. We will be back often. read more

Nice location, very nice ambience and polite staff. Unfortunately not so great food that one can expect. We had a 6 ppl dinner at this place and was not very satisfied with food quality. Chicken biryani was left over chicken kabab mixed with pulav rice. Paneer kadhai was lightly boiled veggies mixed in weird tomato gravy and there was hardly any jeera in jeera aalo. Only thing ok ok was dal makahani. And I think any north Indian restaurant can't even make a dal makhani properly shouldn't exist.. Over all an on experience. read more

Loved the place , the food ( reminded me of india ) a nd the staff was very good , attentive and polite . I was really impressed by the service . Dint try buffet . Will definitely visit the place next time I visit buffalo . read more

Great food with excellent flavour. Friendly service. Will definitely return.

Great dining experience! The food was amazing and our waiter Pavan really made our evening! Highly recommend this place.

When you ask for extra spicy you'll get extra spicy. Doesn't get much better than this.

Wow I love this place. The food is always good. The place is always nice and clean, and I always feel like the staff is happy to be at work. That makes me feel really good about a business. Thank you Taj Grill for bringing great indian food to Bufalo! read more

Been here several times now and the food has always been great. I never leave hungry. The buffet is great and offers many choices for both veggie and meat eaters. One of my favorite places to eat for indian lunch buffet or dinner. I have even done take out. I really have no complaints. Service is good, its clean. I highly recommend! read more

Great Indian food! Our go-to in the North Buffalo area.

I think most would agree Taj Grill is the best Indian restaurant in Buffalo. Granted, I came not for the AYCE buffet which is usually all I go to Indian places for. I ordered the Lamb Xacuti - curry made with roasted coconut and red chilies. It had a good amount of spice and great flavor. Also note, check-in gets you free rice pudding dessert. I'll be back for the buffet. read more

The facility is updated and clean, the wait staff was incredibly attentive (the water person filled our glass after every sip it seemed) and the food was very well done. We had a chicken, fish and okra dish and they were all delicious. read more

Taj Grill is hands down the best Indian in Buffalo! This place is a hidden gem. I normally come on a Friday or Sunday night for dinner. It is never packed. The food is always flavorful delicious, and good size portions. I never leave disappointed. Last night, however, it was the best I ever had there! I wish we had a huge group to relish in the glory with us. We had samosa which was not greasy and a tad spicy for an appetizer. We order garlic naan and onion kulcha with our chicken makhani and chicken xacutti. Their garlic naan was on point! It was perfectly cook, had plenty of garlic and cilantro. I wish I ordered more to take home. Everything was cooked to perfection and came out hot. Whoever was in the kitchen was top notch! The only complaint I normally have is service. Last night, service was good but usually it is not. Once I waited for over ten minutes to get menus, but normally it takes forever to get our bill or to sign it, or once our food comes out we never see our waiter. The gentlemen who refills water is much more attentive. I tell people you need to go in with the mindset that you are going there for great food but not necessarily great service. If service was up to par the majority of the time, I would have given 5 stars. read more

I was brought here for the first time by some friends who are from India, and who suggested this place as the best Indian restaurant in Buffalo. I found the food to be simply delicious, and went back many more times. My personal favorites so far are the chicken tandoori (incredibly flavorful and tender), the butter naan, and especially the paneer dishes. I tried also a couple of curries (goat and chicken) and found those very good, too. The have a $12.99 buffet on Tuesdays, which is a very good deal (the only risk is that of not being able to stop eating more and more yummy food!!!) read more

The absolute worst Indian food I've ever had. The fig lassi was a poorly thought out chunks-at-the-bottom unmixed semi-suspension, the Madras goat curry was over cooked and an under-garnished gooey mess and the garlic naan was dry, chewy and tasteless. Definitely worth avoiding. read more

I see lot of reviews.tempted and went to this place. Finally came to know that " restaurant with fake Indian tag". I don't see there is any authenticity in their food. This is not for Indian guys. Biryani is masala rice for them. Only naan looks good. But what about the curry you ordered ? Will you eat naan without some curry? Sorry guys, you are literally cheating people with Indian tag. read more

See all

i didnt even get the chance to try their food! my husband, my son and i got into this place, we thought it was a buffet, the waiter who is suppoused to escort us to a table told us that it is not a buffet place. we took one second to decide, and he just left us and took the people who came after us!! we simply left because if u treat someone like that at the door, how would u imagine the service would be!!!! rude! read more

I love their food great.customer services best Indian restaurant in buffalo, if you want good Indian food I recommend going here

Won't recommend this place for vegetarians. There are bunch of arrogant people here. We came here for buffet and we are strict vegetarians- in buffet, both veg and non-veg were mixed together- especially non-veg beef kept so close with veg that beef can easily fell into veg dish- we asked them if they can bring new plate or refill existing one as its mixed and we were told this is way it is and if I want to order I will have to order seperate even if we are paying for buffet- we were so disappointed by their arrogant attitude - won't ever come here and wouldn't recommend this place to all people who respect Vegetarians. read more

If you would have told me a month ago that I would be eating indian food, much less once a week I would have laughed at you. Taj Grill made my previous experience a distant memory. The staff is friendly and fun. The food is wonderful and I cannot get enough. Only gripe is that I asked for a side of tamarind with my naan and they said I couldn't get it because I didn't order an appetizer. I even offered to pay for it. And even then, that is a baby gripe because I still love it here. read more

Taj Grill is by far the best Indian restaurant in WNY. Be sure to ask for Pavan as your waiter as he is awesome and his recommendations are second to none. A modern look with great service and delicious food makes for a winning recipe for success! What are you waiting for? Get to Taj Grill now! read more

I would give Taj Grill 4 1/2 if a could.... it's arguably the best Indian food in Buffalo. Every one in awhile the Naan takes a bit to come to the table, or one of the many buffet items isn't as good as previous visits, but in general it's awesome. Everyone there is very friendly and the restaurant is very clean too. read more

My wife and I are both vegan and it is often hard in Buffalo to find restaurants that go above and beyond to cater to our diet choice. Taj Grill is the exception. They know which of their menu items are vegan, can often omit animal products to make them vegan, and bring us out vegan bread (roti w/o butter). Oftentimes, even though their buffet has at least two vegan main dishes, they will also make us a separate entree (a portion large enough that two people couldn't possibly finish it) to accommodate us because vegetarians and omnivores get many more options and they don't want us to feel left out. I've never really experienced customer service like this at any similar restaurant. It puts the other Indian restaurants in Buffalo to shame. After eating at the other Indian restaurants in the area over the years, we pretty much always go to Taj Grill. I haven't even mentioned the food yet, which is so amazingly good. Better than anything else in the area. The chana masala, baingan bhartha, tofu saag, vegetable curry and their potato/cauliflower dishes are all expertly spiced. If you're vegan, I could not recommend this place enough. Even if you're not, I'm sure their other dishes are just as delicious. read more
