Ate here on a Wednesday. About an hour before close. Food was excellent! I had Chilli chicken, garlic naan, and a Taj Mahal beer. I really like that they let you pick the spice level using a scale from 1-8 (which I'm sure is useful in the Midwest). I chose 4 since I was new to the place and I know Indian food can be very spicy. The 4 was flavorful level of spicy, just enough kick to feel it, not as spicy as habanero salsa. So exactly what I wanted. Ambience was nothing special. I feel confident got authentic food as everyone working there was speaking an Indian language. When we walked in there were a few aisles of groceries with some items probably for making Indian food. Definitely recommend if you're looking for good Indian food in Terre Haute read more

Came here with a friend a few weeks ago. We got chicken pakora as an appetizer, and we both got chicken Tikka masala with garlic naan. The food as a whole was very good. There was sauce that came with the chicken pakora was really helped add more flavor. I thought it was unique that they had Pepsi products (which I prefer), normally these types of restaurants carry Coke products. I was definitely recommend this place if you want some Indian cuisine! read more

Pretty good, better than last time. Not expensive. I had their mushroom saag, and my dinner partner had malai kofta. We had an appetizer of garlic naan. Both were very good, we decided. The portion sizes were a bit smaller than our local favorite Indian Restaurant in Bloomington, and the garlic naan bread was smaller, too. Nonetheless, flavors were good and correctly spiced. The food comes slowly, but only one waitress and their Saturday night venue was PACKED. The grocery items, we decided, were, pretty good in selection, perhaps higher priced than a larger city but probably handy to have. The price for the dinner was good, however. Overall, the taste is great! Good for parties up to perhaps a dozen or so. Lots of busy personnel there. read more

We stopped here on our way home. The reviews were great and are spot on. The restaurant is dated, but is spotless. The tiny grocery holds most of the necessities for desi cooking. The restaurant was quiet: only three tables. We had butter chicken, garlic Nan, lamb curry and spinach pakora. Everything was super delicious. The butter chicken sauce was the best I have ever had. The rice was perfect! Terra Haute has some gem restaurants, and this is one of them. read more

Food is delicious!! Service is great! It has an Indian grocery with great spices and foods to buy. Try it!!!

The food is always delicious and piping hot. I've yet to be dissatisfied dining here, I've been here 4-5 times that I can remember. The staff os kind and they have a neat little Middle Eastern market onside for foods, drinks, and some trinkets. You also get a glass of water upon sitting down. It's a nice, clean, kind restaurant to dine at with rather reasonable prices in my opinion. Definitely worth my 5 stars! read more

Very poor service. Asked money for even plates and spoons. Cleanliness for a severe concern. Extremely small quantity

To be honest, I wasn't expecting much from any restaurant in Terre Haute. But I should have because Taj Mahal has fantastic food! I'm not an expert in Indian food, but if I could describe what I want/like - this would be it. Everything is super flavorful. I need white-girl spice level, which they happily accommodated. Be prepared for some unfortunate typos in the menu, but don't let them distract you. I'd much rather dine at an establishment that can cook than spell. The staff was all so friendly and service was prompt. read more

It's Excellent - if you are craving Indian food then come here. It's not Terre Haute excellent -it's anywhere in the USA excellent. So if your in town from Chicago or Indy or Champaign or anywhere - this is your place to eat excellent Punjabi Indian food. Food (A+) Had the butter chicken and garlic naan - it was excellent. Felt like I was in Punjab India - this is as authentic as your going to find in the USA. I got a 3 spice and it was like a mild plus. The naan was flavorful and garlicky - in a good way. While the butter chicken had the right amount texture so it was not runny nor was it too thick and creamy. They nailed it. Service (A-) It's an ethnic place run by first generations so your going to get really good food made fast without maybe the other pleasantries you are used to. But the owner is super nice and the staff is trying their best. The food is good and it comes out fast. Value (A-) So for one person it is around $25 out the door to get full. If there were a few more chicken pieces it would have been an A - if o had leftovers - A + Try this place and you will not be disappointed- I come to Terre H. Once a year and will always stop here. They have a mini grocery store inside the restaurant also. read more

I loved this place until I tried other Indian food and now it tastes very bland to me. Service is alright. A lot of their options are better just made at home read more

Amazing food, great service, butter chicken is something people fight wars over. ( probably)

Restaurant and bathrooms very clean. Service was very prompt and cordial. Food was good. Saag Paneer (Level 5 spicy, but not too much) was around $13. The bread with minced lamb was 5.99 was good but I would not pay the extra over regular bread. I will let you decide the value on both. There were supposed to be daily lunch specials. Specials were mentioned on the menu but did not seem value oriented. I don't normally spend this much on lunch but was a nice meal. read more

Taj Mahal - Saag Paneer - Indian Near Me - Terre Haute, Indiana

Bad service but 1 star for decent food. Ordered ahead of time to save time since I was traveling. Let her know I will be eating at restaurant on phone. Acted annoyed when I asked to be seated. Overcharged me for chicken mushroom curry and 1 naan by $4 claiming it was for sitting. Grocery store items are also over priced. Unfortunately terra haute has no other options. read more

Taj Mahal - Indian Near Me - Terre Haute, Indiana

Thefood is great I love the saag paneer and tandoori chicken Never fails me! Oh and let's not forget the Naan. Pure heaven! Hot and fluffy read more

Butter chicken is the best in the area. The service is friendly, and the place its self is always best and clean.

Best Indian cuisine in the area. Our family loves dining in, and trying different appetizers each visit. The chicken tiki Marsala is , level 2 for me...my husband and kids like 4+ spice level. The naan is fresh and hot. It's a little pricey for our family of 6 to go, but the food is worth it. read more

I think that this establishment has stellar vegan offerings, and I love the fact that their menu is vegan inclusive. The Tadka Dal was delicious. I look forward to sampling this restaurant's vegan friendly cuisine again in the imminent future. read more

Sorry didn't eat at this restaurant... trying to get to figure out how to delete :( Can someone help me on how to delete this review. Thanks so much read more

Our experience was amazing delicious food delivered fast. It was very tasty. Very nice ambiance.

Taj Mahal was SO yummy. This place is in a great location in Terre Haute. It's family owned, so you have to be ready for slower service but it is well worth it! And, all who worked there were so lovely. The menu is expansive. We ordered the Chicken Vindaloo and Butter Chicken. They have a heat scale of 1-6. We ordered 4 and 5 respectively. The heat was lesser in the butter chicken (probably due to the creaminess of the gravy) but there was still a good kick. And the flavors were amazing. The garlic Naan was very flavorful and perfectly cooked. We also ordered the veggie sampler as an app and ate every bite. This place is truly one to stop by the next time you're in Terre Haute! read more

Come on, guys... what happened to the lunch special buffet? I don't know what I want at Indian restaurants. I like getting a little dot of each color of food from the buffet, tasting each one to figure out what is good, and then going back for a plate of that color of food with some rice and naan. It was a perfect process that worked for years. read more

Taj Mahal is great! A local favorite by many. Their lunch special is so good!! Great food for a great price. read more

Taj Mahal - Chicken Tikka Masala + Garlic Naan - Indian Near Me - Terre Haute, Indiana

Small restaurant and grocery store in the town. The owner was very pleasant and welcoming. The ambience is like a typical old building. The order was fast. We tried saag paneer, malai kofta, plain naan, chili-cilantro naan. The malai kofta was cooked to perfection, very flavorful, aromatic and creamy texture. Kofta tested soft and flavorful. Saag paneer was good in taste. Naan dough tasted fresh and naan were baked crispier. Attentive service. Will return if in the area!!! read more

This is a solid 4 stars in my opinion. I was glad to find authentic Indian food in TH. Drinks: I ordered Chai tea, which was actually the worst part of my meal. Very little spice or flavor and super watered down. I wouldn't get it again. Boyfriend had 2 Indian beers that were basic lagers but served cold and priced right. Apps: veggie samosas were good, larger than I expected. The sauces we were given were tasty, both a green one and a red chutney. Food: I ordered chicken tikka masala at a level 4 spice. It was a little too hot for me and I like hot. It was good and I ate most of it, but I usually like my tikka masala a bit more tame so I'll go down to a 3 next time. Boyfriend got the lamb vindaloo at a 5 and agreed the heat took away from other flavors and he would go down to a 3 or so. Garlic naan is amazing and you'd be crazy not to order it. read more

Almost inedible. The pakora was very tasty but the chickpeas had very little spice and tasted like they used ghee that went bad.

food: 5/5 I had a sweet lassi to drink. It was good. I ordered malai kofta- basically Indian dumplings filled with vegetables and laden in curry sauce- which was delicious. service: 4/5 Our waiter- who is also the owner- was nice enough. Food was brought out quickly. asides: - ambience: Nothing to note. - revisit: Going to check out Himalayan Aroma, as well, and decide which I like better. The food here would be hard to beat, though. read more

I ordered a samosa chat, it's missing the brown tamerind sauce. But it some great flavors. The tandoori chicken is more like burned baked chicken we couldn't get past the first bite. There was no real tandoori Malala taste as all. The chicken biryani was super dry chicken and lacked the flavors I looked for in a basic biryani. I was looking forward to the hydrabdi flavors and the intense tastes that it offers. Instead I got colored rice with dry chicken!! I would not stop here again. read more

Absolutely delicious, everything we tried was amazing! We're new to TH and are so happy to have a place like this nearby!

It has become a norm to find an authentic excellent Indian restaurant in area with population over 25 K or in major city's of US. This one is the one in this area per my visit. Not fancy but provides necessary kick for curry tasting people with Tandoori chicken varieties. read more

Taj Mahal - Lunch Buffett Choice if veggies - Indian Near Me - Terre Haute, Indiana

The only Indian food option in TH, and it disappointed me. My Dal Makhani had huge ginger slices and the dal was undercooked. Kofta seemed oily/heavily fried and was heavy on turmeric. They can improve on their sauces I guess. read more

I have had frozen dinners better than the butter chicken I had recently from here. I have ate here a few years ago and it has gotten worse and costs more. It tasted like boiled chicken added to a premade sauce. Something I have done better at home with grocery store sauces. read more

I was so surprised to find such a great Indian restaurant in such a small town! The food is always delicious and the owners and staff are very friendly and attentive. The lamb dishes are excellent as is the chicken curry. Their rice is so light and fragrant, never underdone or sticky. The lunch buffet is good, they cook in smaller batches and replenish frequently to keep things hot and fresh. read more

I got the tandoori chicken to go. I am used to tandoori chicken being charred, smoky, tender, and juicy. The chicken here was OK at best. It wasn't charred, smoky, or juicy but I can say it was tender enough to eat without tiring out my jaw. I did appreciate the extra flavoring that the pickled vegetables added but that's really all I can say about the dish. Seeing as the lunch buffet is their main attraction, I'll make it a point to come back at another time to try it. read more

Came here for dinner at 8:00 on a Saturday and there were plenty of seats available. Service was attentive and the music was relaxing. Their menu is very large and most entrees are $9-11. I was not very hungry and ordered the chicken biryani. The portions were huge and could have definitely served me for two or three meals. I enjoyed the different spices in the rice. Only complaint is that I wish it had more variety so it wasn't just chicken and rice. My friends ordered the paneer and a vegetable dish. Their dishes were smaller than mine and were good for one meal. Only caveat is that "regular" spicy is very spicy! read more

Taj Mahal - Chicken Biryani - Indian Near Me - Terre Haute, Indiana

Something that you don't get everyday, the food is great and quick. Perfect for lunch or an early dinner.

I had food delivered. The process was quick and easy, once I figured out the website. Their main site has a checkout that doesn't work. I called the place, and they told me all delivery has to be done through the website Delivery2go. Very odd. (Also, "free delivery over $15 mysteriously turned into a $3.00 charge. Perhaps they should take down their main page/checkout, since it doesn't work.) As for the food: Garlic Naan- Fantastic. Simply delicious. Butter chicken: shreds of ripped up dry chicken breast. NOT seasoned in any way, and it was definitely NOT cooked in the sauce, it was added afterward. The sauce was delicious. Wish the chicken would have matched. Pickles- I love, Love, LOVE the mixed vegetable pickles I get at my local Indian place. These are definitely not that. Huge chunks of...squash(??) something, very bitter and like licking a salt block. I ordered from here because of the good reviews. Now I'm left wondering if the locals simply don't know good Indian food. :( Delivery was quick and friendly, and I liked the text updates. read more

Surprised with how delicious my meal was, from start to finish. The lamb Korma was perfectly spiced and the lamb was very tender. The breads were crispy yet fluffy, and the Nan chat app was huge and so delicious. Great service too! read more

We love this Indian cuisine! We drive 70 miles to enjoy it, well worth the drive! They have a large assortment of Indian food ,Chinese, etc. Always a very clean restaurant, Nice quiet atmosphere. They usually have you seat yourself, then they are promptly with you to give you drinks and take your order. The staff are very courteous. I would definitely recommend! read more

My wife, her cousin, and I had the Saturday buffet lunch. The variety of selections rivaled some of our favorites in Chicagoland. The flavors were all quite good. The mango chutney appeared to have been "home" made, with firmer and tarter fruit than one usually finds, and a spicing somewhat different from what one generally finds in the jar. It's now one of our favorites when we are in the area. read more
