Second time I've been here and the food was even better this time. The service was quick and friendly and I felt like I was eating at a restaurant in India. The music is authentic, but not played too loudly. I highly recommend Taj Majal! read more

The staff were very friendly and the restaurant had a pleasing aesthetic. The food was AMAZING. For a buffet, you expect quantity over quality; but that was not the situation here. Everything was tasty. This was my first time trying pani puri and it was very refreshing and flavorful. The samosa was crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside and packed with flavor. The gulab jamin was phenomenal, sweet, sticky, warm, and very delicious. The chile chicken was tasty and well cooked, the goat was extremely tender and flavorful, and the potato dish was very good. I tried a little bit of everything and only found myself not quite enjoying the vegetable fried rice, the butter chicken, and the pickles (I think it was a pickled lemon rind). As far as the chutneys go, the tamarind and onion were impeccable. The chai was also very good. It was great that the sugar was self-serve to preference. I originally saw this on TikTok and thought it looked great and was well-worth the trip. For the price, you literally cannot ask for a better buffet! read more

The service was great and the food was amazing and crisp/fresh. Also our server gave us a free desert. Some of the best Indian I've ever had between CA, WA, and AL read more

DoorDash**** Did not dine in so no score for atmosphere or service. Vegetable Samosa 4/5 were a bit cold but super flavorful and filling. Lentil soup 4/5 - could've been more quantity for price. Naan - as expected. read more

Service was great! Was fun trying Indian food with my friend. Nice variety. Especially enjoyed the Chai tea for dessert!

We went to their wonderful lunch buffet and were thrilled by the selection and attentive service. We will be recommending this restaurant and look forward to returning soon. read more

This place was fantastic! My husband, two friends and I got the lunch buffet. So many wonderful options including butter chicken, chicken curry, chana masala, saag paneer and yellow rice. You also can order off the menu if you like. The flavors were wonderful, and we all enjoyed it. I cannot have any gluten, and the owner was so knowledgeable and helpful in making sure I did not choose any dishes off the buffet that contained gluten. The ambiance of the restaurant is quiet, calming, clean and decorated well. We'll be going back and recommend it. This is not on the main strip but behind the Sonic on Burkhardt. Don't miss it! read more

Atmosphere is tidy and on-brand. The tall skinny guy working has taken care of us both times we've been there recently and he is attentive, kind, and knows the menu well. He was extra kind and accommodating to my 2 year old. Today we went there for the buffet, but they don't serve it on mondays. (Tuesday through Sunday for anyone wondering) But, they do serve a large plate with 6 segments of your choice between entree and sides, so we still got a good variety. You also get naan and three chutneys (mint, tamarind, onion) Always get a mango lassi because it's our favorite. I suggest trying it out. The picture was after my 2 year old and myself ate, so apologies for that. But I think it's a good spot. read more

Taj Mahal is a restaurant I used to go to all the time when I lived here before. We finally went this weekend after moving back last year. One reason for the delay in going is it always looked closed or empty (the other reason is we have unadventurous kids). I feel the bar for good food, in this area is really low or we are "too picky". After seeing a few recent really promising reviews we decided to give it a try. It did not disappoint. The food was delicious. It's been 3 days and I'm still talking about how good it was. We eat early, see kids, so we were the only ones there when we arrived. Others came later and it does seem they do quite a bit of takeout. We had the paneer pakora, garlic naan, shrimp biryani, butter chicken and saag paneer. All the food was seasoned perfectly and to the level of heat we asked for, midwest white people mild. I don't want to sweat when I eat. What I love about Indian food is the sharing factor. I love being able to get multiple items to share. The portion sizes were great for this (not too small and not overwhelming) and the pricing was really fair as well. I look forward to going back sooner than later. read more

this is my son's favorite restaurant so we come frequently for the buffet. it is delicious. it usually has butter chicken, daal, saag, naan, bhatura, dessert. you can have chai tea if you like. the restaurant is very clean and the staff are friendly, attentive and courteous. read more

I've eaten here several times for the lunch buffet and dinner. Tonight we had dinner. Large portions, friendly service, good food. I love the butter chicken! read more

The buffet selection is outstanding. Lots of variety and even freshly made raita, which I love. There is room for improvement however. The tandoori chicken has a stickiness to it, almost like barbecue chicken. The coating should be much drier. Also it needs more spiciness. The naan was more like a tough cracker. It should be pleasantly chewy. I would recommend this place though and will go back, given the opportunity. read more

Great experiences at Taj Mahal. I am in town for a work trip, and have eaten here twice. I plan to go back tomorrow, so make it three. So far I have ordered Kadai Paneer, Dal Makhani, Raiti, and the Special Papri Chat. The dishes are cooked well and have lots of flavor! The servers are friendly and take pride in the food they bring you. Great job Taj Mahal! *Update* - I came back for thirds, this time getting the Saag Paneer with Poori bread. For dessert Gulab Jamun. Everything was SO GOOD!! Next time I visit Evansville, I know I will be eating here. YUM! read more

Great place. Great food and service. Unbeatable. This place is one of the best Indian cuisine I've had.

I stopped in for a fast lunch today, and arrive 30 minutes prior to their closing. Food was Still amazingly fresh! Service was wonderful, providing expertise and attentive service. Their Punjabi Curry was amazing! I have been coming to this location for years and highly recommend it to anyone looking for great Indian buffets. read more

This is my favorite restaurant and food of all time. Food is amazing and service is great too.

this place is great! my family would recommend it, my 8yr old said it's a 10/10! the service was super kind and attentive, and quick. Food was fresh, flavorful and made to the correct heat/spice. The inside was clean and inviting. Will be back! read more

I LOVE this restaurant. I let the server pick out my meal with my only request that it is vegetarian. She ordered me the dish "mutter paneer," and let me tell you, it was phenomenal! I've been several times and it's always wonder. read more

They press the order is done button. Actually you sit and wait for your order for 10 minutes.

Chicken curry, saag paneer, and 2 orders of naan for life! Feeds two people for 2 days- so much delicious food!!

i stay in orlando florida, yet i still haven't found better indian cuisine than here at the taj mahal in evansville indiana! the food is delicious, for a modest price, they offer quick service from genuinely happy people, a wonderfully diverse menu, and a lovely calm ambience. i just visited on my trip back home for the week and i noticed the reviews are seriously lacking, im blaming a limited palette here in the midwest. give this place a try with an open mind and prepare to be blown away by complex indian flavor! read more

We have been here 4 times so far. It is family owned, which is nice, but sometimes the wait to order is pretty long even if they aren't busy. The food is usually good. Some of the food is similar in taste. Only had one issue which was the last time we have been, my boyfriend loves spicy so tried level 6 and I like a little spice at level 2. They switched the heat levels and my food was level 6 while his was level 3. I don't like to complain so we just switched and I suffered through the heat. Hopefully next time will be a better experience. read more

I ordered takeout from Taj Mahal. I was skeptical due to the average Yelp review. This food was very good and much better than I had expected. I got paneer tikka masala, chicken tikka masala, and samosa. It was all good. The chicken was tender, the sauces were flavorful, and the samosas were nice and crispy. read more

Not a lot of options in the area for good Indian so this is it. Mixed experiences over the years. I don't get to go often because no one ever wants Indian with me. Today is my birthday so my daughter was taking me to their lunch buffet. First was disappointed the price went up (difficult to obtain any accurate hours or pricing). After it was clear the buffet wasn't even happening, we left disappointed. Looks like I'm going to Louisville, Ky for the next closest option. :/ read more

The service, food was wonderful. Been twice and done take out. The buffet was hot, fresh, and had options. The spinach and cheese curry and butter chicken are so good. The naan is well made. The goat curry my dad liked a lot. The staff is quick to refill drinks and attentive to your needs. I will be a loyal customer and make my way thru the menu. Great Indian food!!! read more

4 STARS FOR THE FOOD! The reviews about service gave us a heads up when we went there, so we weren't too surprised when the service was OK. We got our food in a fair amount of time though. The food was delicious! We got the chicken tikka masala and another dish, the portions are small, but surprisingly filing; probably because these dishes are heavy. Our server always seemed so rush whenever he came to check on our table; but he did fill our water a few times without asking so that was nice. We would love to try the buffet next time for the variety of food. If you don't mind the inconsistent quality of service, this place has really delicious Indian food! read more

Taj Mahal Indian Cuisine - Tandoori chicken - Indian Near Me - Evansville, Indiana

Although I'm not in Evansville all that often, I've been to Taj Mahal plenty of times. I love Indian food and have many restaurants where I live. So, with only one restaurant here in Evansville, I wasn't expecting anything extraordinary. Luckily, I've been pleasantly surprised by Taj Mahal and regularly dine there. The first thing I'll mention is that the spice level is a bit higher than at other Indian restaurants I've been to. Keep this in mind while you are ordering or you may find your food a bit too spicy. As with most Indian restaurants, there are tons of vegetarian options. Some of the ones that Taj Mahal does best include the Dal Makhani, Punjabi Curry, Dal Tadka and Aloo Gobi. They also have a selection of chaat items in the appetizers, these are very good and are a great start to the meal. We've done lunch buffet, dinner and carryout on various occasions. The food quality in all instances has been well above par across the menu. The buffet has a somewhat limited selection, caters to vegetarians and non-vegetarians and also keeps all the items pretty fresh. I'd say the quality of the buffet seemed to be similar to the dine-in experience for us. The interior is really clean, bright and spacious with the ability to accommodate larger groups easily. There are high ceilings, plenty of windows and a luxurious (non-functional) bar. The service is polite and the wait times for food are very reasonable. Of particular note, they are incredibly accommodating for food modifications. As an example, my husband was craving aloo gobi without the gobi one night and the staff obliged without question. The food here is solidly good and anytime we have a craving for Indian food, Taj Mahal always hits the spot. read more

Taj Mahal Indian Cuisine - Restaurant from the outside. - Indian Near Me - Evansville, Indiana

Food is okay! I would rather say it is worth what they charge for. Not awesome but also not bad. However the main problem that me and my girlfriend faced was lack of good service. The waiters would not bother to check on you (in our case it was just us who were left unattended while we were there). Next they would not care if the glasses are empty!!! read more

Ordered Taj Mahal for dinner. My favorite for Rogan Josh . Went to pick up my order, it fell through the bag and onto the floor. The gentleman behind the counter immediately took care of everything. He refused to let me help clean up the mess and had the kitchen remake my order. Compliments to the chef! Thank you for going above and beyond Taj Mahal. read more

I've been to TM about 5-10 times over the last decade. Initially when it opened they had good service and good food. I hadn't been in a few years and decided to try it again. We were taken to a table by a woman who kept telling us "No English, no English". If I remember correctly, there used to be more English speaking people working there. I don't know. It was difficult trying to order drinks. We ordered the buffet, or rather just got started on it bc no one came around. They only have the "lunch buffet" Friday-Sunday now and it's $17.99!! It is mostly vegetarian, which is fine, but my husband eats meat and the only meat (remember, this is an $18 LUNCH buffet) was butter chicken and tandoori chicken. We were there about 1:00 and there was only 1 piece of tandoori chicken. My husband didn't take it bc it looked dried out. The bar needed restocked in general, things stirred. The food we ate was good. Great flavors. Unfortunately, I won't pay $18 for a lunch buffet that isn't well-stocked. Maybe for a dinner buffet with more choices. I know Covid and inflation, etc., but for a lunch buffet in Evansville, $18 is way too much. Moonlite BBQ charges that much in Owensboro for their lunch buffet and it has 8 different meats, about 8 vegetables, a full salad bar, and dessert bar, and the service is good. I just can't go back. It's a shame because the food is pretty good. read more

Great place to eat. I've frequent Indian restaurants all over. This one though has a unique blend of spices I've never tasted. Probably the most authentic Indian restaurant I've had. The service is great too. When I'm in Evansville, I'm here. read more

Taj Mahal Indian Cuisine - Indian Near Me - Evansville, Indiana

First off, they have a beautiful bar and dining area (which is worth at least 2 stars right there). Their food is very good. Which is what I would expect of an Indian place in Evansville because they are not a chain. The best time to eat here is during lunch (when they have the buffet). Dine-in and takeout are a little expensive ($10-13). The buffet is around $8. Their booze situation is not anything great. When I was looking, I don't think they serve the mega popular beers (like bud light) on tap, which is rare in Evansville. With that said, the "craft" beers on tap are made by the same company. However, they have a decent enough wine selection and a few Indian beers that could be rather enjoyable with dinner. A funny situation... When the waiter asked how spicy I wanted my lamb dish, (1-6) I said 4 (medium hot). He told me no. I was surprised and asked why. He said Americans can't handle medium hot and he kept suggesting that I have 1 or 2. I ordered 3 (I know...I am such a nonconformist). He was correct, if I had gotten 4 then the spicy would have overwhelmed the other flavors. I have never had a waiter tell me outright 'no' when I wanted to order something. This time the customer was not right and I am glad the waiter told me. Overall, solid 4 rating. Excellent little place. here is their website. http://tajmahalindiancuisine.net/page/1p6k8/Menus.html read more

This place is great if you want good Indian food. I have visited Taj Mahal multiple times and the food was tasty every time. To me, the buffet offers better food for much better price when compared to the dinner menu. read more

My husband and I decided on Taj Mahal based on their advertising of a full bar since we wanted a few drinks with dinner. DENIED!! No bar! There is a bar!...a BIG and BEAUTIFUL bar; however, it's not stocked with anything but Budweiser and Miller Lite...WTF! False advertising should get you a 1 but the food was decent, although not the best I've ever had and our waiter, who was the only wait staff in a full restaurant, was running his butt off and didn't do too bad of a job. My suggestion would be to stick with lunch buffet, which I'm sure is great. Fast food with an iced tea! Perfect! read more
