Butter Chicken and Aloo Mutter
Jenny T.

My partner and I were looking for Indian food in Fredrick and stumbled upon this place. We came here for dinner on a Thursday night around 7 and the staff were attentive and quick. When we walked in, it was pretty empty except one other group dining in, but as it got later, more people trickled in. We got the butter chicken, aloo mutter, and garlic naan. The butter chicken was delicious and had a good amount of chicken thigh pieces in it. The aloo mutter had a slight kick to it that paired perfectly with the garlic naan. The portions were generous and we had half of the butter chicken and aloo mutter to take home. I will definitely be back to try more items on the menu!

Was passing through so grabbed dinner here. Ordered a Taj Mahal beer, the pani puri & the lamb Vindaloo. Pani puri wasn't good, very plain tasting. The lamb Vindaloo was good and they got the spice level right that I asked for. It was Tuesday evening 8.20pm ish, they weren't busy and service was a little slow. Besides that the waiter did great getting everything I asked for. Lots of indoor seating.

Buffet area

I would definitely recommend you come here for a buffet option! Not the cheapest but good quality. Great array of Indian food choices. More than three dishes for vegetarians and dishes with meats. There's also really bomb pani puri. Also had dessert to wash it all down! The rice was a bit crunchy in some parts and were small amounts but all in all I enjoyed my food and ate so well. I was so so happy!! Very yummy:)

Buffet.

We came for a Saturday afternoon buffet, and were very surprised at the huge selection. The most important thing was the food!!!! Extremely diverse selections, with an incredibly talented chef.

Taj Mahal is located at the old Frederick Town Mall. There's plenty of parking and the decor is Indian themed with old wooden bar at the front entrance as you walk into the building. I went during lunch, so they were serving the lunch buffet. There was not a hostess to greet us, but there was plenty of seating and it's a pretty large space. There are white table cloths and silverware prepared at each table before you arrive. The lunch buffet has a large selection of goat curry, butter chicken, tandoori chicken, potatoes, fried fritters, naan, yogurt and cilantro based dips. There are plenty of vegetarian options as well. Most of the dishes that I was able to try were delicious and flavorful. The owner was friendly and asked if we needed anything during our meal. Since it was a buffet, the waitress would clear our plates the few times we would get up to fix ourselves another plate, so they were attentive. It's a great place for lunch since there was not a wait time to be seated or served. I highly recommend to try Taj Mahal if you're ever in the mood for Indian food.

Samosa Chat
Frank N.

Hey! Welcome to Frederick, Taj Mahal! We needed you! Sorry I didn't come in earlier, I was busy. Your Samosa Chat starter was great! Just the right amount of Chick Peas and Tamarind and Mint sauce. Yummy. When I ordered my Chicken Saag spicy, you certainly delivered! For me, it was on the cusp of being too hot. That's just how I like it. The non-spicy spices were very aromatic. Your Garlic Naan came out crispy and delicious. Next time I'll order two. I didn't leave room for dessert. Save me some Gulab Jamun for next time. Thanks. Sorry about the other reviewer that left you Two Stars because your INDIAN food was too SPICY, even though he admitted he had a bland pallet, yet ordered medium spicy. Weird. You deserve better than that.

We drove quite a distance to come here based on the reviews, and ended up being disappointed. The food was dry and lukewarm, and they did not honor the drink price on their website. The menu posted states drinks are included with the buffet. When asked about it, the waiter stated that was an outdated menu and gave no apologies for misrepresenting their prices. Will not be back. There are much better Indian buffets in Germantown.

Pani Puri
Ashley H.

There wasn't many customers when I walked in, but I was greeted instantly by my server. I got the Pani Puri as an appetizer and the Chicken Korma as my entree. It was my first time trying both dishes. The Pani Puri had a lot of flavors and you're supposed to put the mint chutney in the pocket of the dish. Now personally, I'm not a fan of cilantro, but the subtleness of it in this dish made me enjoy it (which is really rare). The Chicken Korma was extremely good, the chicken was cooked perfectly. I would definitely recommend getting this dish. The rice was okay. The garlic naan was pretty good. The service was good as well and the music was nice to listen to. Try this place out and get the Chicken Korma!

Went to stop by here on Friday 12/19/25. I don't often leave negative reviews but because the meat…read moremix-up is a serious issue, not a small mistake. My gf and I ordered chicken adobo to share and was told it was chicken. After eating it, we realized it was clearly pork. When I brought this up, the staff did not believe us and continued to insist it was chicken instead of taking the concern seriously. They didn't even try to look at the bowl they served me. Let me be clear this is not just about preference serving pork when a customer is told it's chicken can have major religious and dietary consequences. Many people avoid pork for religious reasons, and dismissing that concern is unacceptable. Accuracy and transparency with ingredients are basic expectations, especially when it comes to meat. We got a few baked good we got silvana was good. The biko was gods cooked well the sweetness was balanced. The restaurant was clean and quiet. The vibe was chill. But that doesn't outweigh the impact of being misled about what I was eating. Trust is broken, and I won't be returning. Gwenies need to train their staff and they need to clearly label meats and take customer concerns seriously especially when religion and dietary restrictions are involved. I have been a fan of Gwenies for years and would even travel to their original location in Rockville MD. Please make sure you check your bowls get to her correct meat you order! I won't be returning such a shame.

I'd been waiting for a Friday off and this was well worth the hour drive from home. I did pair it…read morewith some other errands but I'll probably make up errands in the Frederick area so I have an excuse to come back soon!! The atmosphere is chill and the space is decorated nicely, and looks clean. There is a ADA ramp and wheelchair accessible bathroom. The donuts were fresh. I tried Nutella (divine) and pandan (tasty, generous filling) and grabbed a salted caramel latte to fuel my errands. I'll be sure to remember this place the next time I crave donuts!!

I think this has been one of the best Ice creams I have had in a while. when I think of ultra…read morepremium, high quality ice cream, I still think about this place. The shop is ran by a student who at the time was doing school and running the shop at the same time. Very awesome person who was super friendly. I don't live near Frederick so unfortunately I've only been to this place one time. That being said, I still think about this place. The Ice cream is super creamy, you can tell the fat content in this ice cream is super high. It's super rich, super dense and creamy, and sweet but not too sweet. I had the caramel crunch (they didn't have the key lime pie ) and it was delicious. The caramel I thought goes really well with the rich ice cream; it makes for a very decadent treat. The crunchy pieces adds a nice contrast to the super creamy ice cream. Overall it was amazing; it's everything I like in ice cream; something super rice and creamy, and flavors which come from real ingredients instead of extracts or flavorings.

Small selection of flavors. The honey graham flavor was the kind I tried. It was good! The graham…read morecracker in it tasted like cookie dough in a way. They were out of chocolate Jimmies. There is no seating in here. The price for a small is 5 dollars. The service was good, 2 young guys who did a great job. Definitely pros and cons!
