I got take out for dinner the other night. It was ok. Nothing special. I might try the lunch buffet one day but generally compared to its competition- it's good. Service was good. read more

The food here is so incredibly delicious and the staff is so friendly and helpful. We first visited shortly after reopening from lockdown and were so impressed we made it a point to make a special trip to visit again and will be back soon even though it's a 3 hour drive from our home. read more

After having eaten my weight many times over in Indian food, in cites with large Indian populations, I feel I have some insight to what good and great buffet experience is. This is good, what they have out is on par with what I have tasted here in the states. What holds it back from being great, would be the limited naan selection (plain, no garlic offered), and a sweet option for sauces, such as a mango chutney. To be fair, they do make this, but not for the lunch buffet. First time I ever saw that. Maybe, I was simply lucky. For the price point, would have expected a bit more, but it is still very good Induan Buffet. Pro tip: crush a 'Gulab' ball with some of the coconut chickpea sauce for a nice pairing with the naan. read more

We were on our way to a completely different restaurant....but when we parked directly in front of the Taj Palace...there was no arguing. We eagerly wanted to try out the 8$ lunch buffet. 80% on the buffet was veggie friendly and we left after completely over-eating for the long drive back to Utah. So delicious! I wish I could frequent this place..... read more

Terrible Indian food. We visited summer of 2019 and were disappointed with buffet food and ambience.

Pretty good and something different worth a try for sure. Friday night is all you can eat buffet.

This is a family owned business in the downtown area of Bend. The food was great as was the service. read more

Taj Palace - A wonderful family owned business with great food. - Indian Near Me - Bend, Oregon

Excellent service! Servers very polite and attentive. Food great lots of choices in the buffet. I highly recommend this place.

While visiting in Bend,Oregon we decided to go to Indian food for dinner. Our friend had never had it before so off we went. We ordered chicken pakoras, vegetable samosas, chicken tikka masala, aloo gobi, Chana masala and garlic naan. I believe it was one of the owners that helped us. He was very friendly and generous. All entrees come with regular naan and plain basmati rice which is nice. Most places I have been the naan is always extra $$. The vegetable samosas was 2 pieces per order but he brought 3 so we each had one. We ordered mild and it had some heat (spicy) to it but was good. Everything was very good and we ordered plenty so there would be leftovers for our friend to enjoy since she really liked it. At the end we ordered a mango lassi to split since we were all so full and he brought us 3 individual ones complimentary!! It was so good!! Thank you read more

Came here a few years back and had an amazing meal. We were looking forward to stopping by for dinner again but ended up disappointed. The food was ok, but the service has gone down hill. read more

Coming from the bay area, california which has incredible indian food - I can still say this is some of the best indian food I've had in my life. The chicken tikka masala and chicken makhani are spectacular and will order every time. The palak paneer and chicken 65 appetizer are also amazing. read more

Awesome Indian food. The portions are great for dinner, but the lunch buffet is huge and the best deal in downtown Bend. There is never any disappointment at the Taj Palace. Vegetarian options are abundant and delicious. Get your eat on! read more

First red flag was nobody else was in the restaurant, we should have taken that as a sign and walked right back out. Lesson learned, and always ask to see the menu if visiting a restaurant for first time. The booth we wanted to sit in with our group of 4 was said to be highly uncomfortable by the waiter. Table we ended up at was too small to hold all the various dishes we ordered. Waiter was nice, earnest fellow but almost spilled hot chai on us. Eggplant dish was completely undercooked, a major faux paux. The bill was larger than we expected or could calculate for ourselves. Maybe we were charged for things we didn't order. Ugh! We're all bloated tonight. First World problems, but usually Indian food digests better. read more

I have been in bend for a few years now and never went here, not sure why but I regret not coming here sooner! The service is friendly and the food is delicious!! Love this place!! read more

The Best Damn Indian Food In Bend!! I do not think there is another . Keep Up the Good work ! Good People and Friendly If I return to the Bend this is where I will be or at the Arcade . read more

Excellent food. Owners were very nice with good service. Highly recommend. Will return multiple times.

Ordered take out (our first time eating the food from this place) and it was AMAZING. I can't believe it's taken us so long to eat here. Had chicken Mo, chicken biryani, and paneer tikka masala with garlic naan and onion naan. Everything was simply fantastic. I can't wait to eat the leftovers!!! read more

Visiting Bend for a conference and decided to drive for some authentic Indian food and I was not disappointed with this lovely establishment. Right in the heart of the Bend downtown community among so cool shops lies this restaurant. It is a quaint place and we're seated immediately. The menu was ample I order spicy chai tea. For the meal I had malia kofta and it came with about five different additional items and dessert. It was so delicious and so filling that I honestly could not complete my entire meal. The meal was very affordable . If you are craving authentic Indian food in Bend this is the place to visit - you will not be disappointed read more

Taj Palace - Indian Near Me - Bend, Oregon

See all

Nice selection on the buffet: two chicken dishes, plus Tandoori. Three curries: pork and two veggie koorma and saag. The only poor dishes are the pakora's and the rice is not Asian. The flavors are appropriate and good heat. Definitely would make this a come back place. read more

I'm a regular to go taj connoisseur. At least once every couple weeks. Its always on point and soo very tasty. Best indian food in town.

Our favorite in Downtown Bend. Love the food. Love the owners. We need to support ethnic diversity in culinary. This restaurant has been consistently good. It does lack atmosphere, but makes up for it in hometown comfort food. read more

Excellent Indian food. We had the palak paneer and chicken korma. Everything g was awesome. The outside of the building I a bit of a hike in the wall but once you walk in you quickly see it's just more character than it's neighbors. Awesome atmosphere and food. read more

I am reviewing this on "take out' The food was fantastic! The vindaloo was a bit spicy and the tikka-masala off the hook!!!! read more

Best Indian food in bend. Really a hidden gem. If you've never had chicken biriyani start there.

Good place to eat above average food in their lunch buffet. The price is reasonable and it's all you can eat.

We have been eating at Taj for years. Absolutely the most hidden gem in Bend! I've traveled the world and this is the most authentic Indian food anywhere in the US. Delivery is good, but served in styrofoam read more

We've passed by Taj Palace a hundred times and finally decided to give it a try. Wow, wish we would have gone sooner! The chicken vindaloo was delicious and authentic and I couldn't get enough of the nan bread. Only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is the interior is a bit dated and worn looking. Will definitely be going back soon! read more

I have been living in Bend for over a year and can't believe I haven't been here before. The lunch buffet is such a fantastic deal and absolutely delicious. The flavors are great, options are varied and spicey level is legitimate. Definitely going to be a new favorite lunch spot as it is hard to beat! read more

I am learning to appreciate indian foods and the unique flavor profiles of different items...that being said, i liked the buffet at taj palace...it allowed me to sample the "regular" items like tandoori chicken and naan, but interesting vegetables and sauces, savory, tangy and some hot!! everthing is labeled and the service is outstanding...they explain everything when you ask and are helpful in guiding those who are vegan!! i loved their yogurt cucumber sauce and the hot chili sauce!!....mmmm....most excellent!! really reasonable prices too!! namaste.... read more

When I walked in, I wasn't really sure about this place. The gentlemen working (maybe the owner) was very nice. I asked about the buffet and if any of it was vegan, he showed me the options and there were five or so. And he was so kind as to bring over a special made mushroom curry. Everything was absolutely delicious, flavorful and the service was great. Highly recommend. read more

We went to this restaurant a couple of weeks back on route to crater lake. The owner seemed very helpful and nice to us offering some ghee and yogurt, but the food was okay. The pulao in the buffet was dry and very bland. However the hospitality was good. read more

It was a good decent buffet, I didn't have lot of hopes but the good was tasty as their tandoori chicken was fresh! Not a lot of options but I am sure they are worth the money. The ambience is good and it's located in the downtown, which makes it easier to access. read more

Wow we're we blindsided by this meal, and are surprised the ratings are not 5 stars across the board! My wife and I ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala and Mushroom Chicken entrees and BOTH were simply out of this world delicious. Both were tremendously loaded with flavors. The chicken tikka masala was creamy and a tad but sweet. The mushroom chicken was quite spicy and more on the savory side. The chicken in both dishes just melted as I bit into it...perfectly cooked! The only problem is now I will be craving food from this restaurant regularly! read more

Super great food! Not an Indian food pro myself but I can tell things are high quality and authentic. The price is also reasonable.

The food is authentic and delicious. The service is excellent!! Our go to when downtown is packed.

Amazing food! I had been craving some chicken tikka masala. Ordered some via uber eats with rice and naan. Absolutely amazing. Quality and quantity. Would recommend and will be eating lunch here more often! read more

Went back and ordered off the dinner menu and it was excellent. What a surprise to be so surprised at it's tastiness.

Our first experience with this restaurant - grubhub delivery during stay at home. They answered our q's over the phone and were very friendly. Food came quickly to our front door and it was surprisingly good for delivered food. Garlic naan was amazing... crispy, chewy, and tasty! Everything else was great too. Looking forward to dining in person once restrictions are lifted. read more

Pretty good for West Coast Indian. Doesn't compare to what you can find on the east coast though. My husband and I both got Kurma dishes which were prepared well and pretty good. The pakora appetizer was not prepared as we expected, and tasted like fair food. Their coconut/chickpea sauce is really good!! Service was good as well. read more

Dinner was great for all of us. We had essentially half their menu between us all and there wasn't anything we didn't like. Stars for carrot feta jam and yellow curry. Happy New Year. Try this place. ...... read more
