This place is in a residential, New Age-y kind of area, but with an older clientele. It is a fancy…read moreindoor space. Having brought a shoulder bag, I was offered a hook to hang it off my table. They did not offer a separate lunch menu, so I ordered a couple of things and took leftovers. Their special on manchow soup might lead one to wonder if there is such a thing as too many crispy noodles, to which my answer is no. Drowning them in the garlicky soup made for engaging eating, and on a cold day I was glad for a warm soup. This restaurant offers a dish of paneer which is toasted and placed atop of a rich sauce; I've seen versions of this dish at other modern Indian restaurants and while I don't eat a ton of paneer, this one was a winner. They had some vegan options but I could have hoped for more. A paratha was wildly flaky. They asked if I wanted drinks without having shown me a drink menu. I got plenty of food to satisfy myself.

It's buried in a strip mall and a relatively unassuming place. They offer a buffet most days, and…read morethe menu includes some pizza as well as Indian/Pakistani food. Notably, they made an Indian fusion pizza for the buffet on our request. I was a bit surprised in the sense that the Indian food was higher quality than the pizza was. It was a spicy dal they had, there were a variety of vegetarian dishes and salad, and fresh items came through regularly. I'm not a huge buffet person but they did a good job of it. The paneer pizza was a bit underwhelming (the pizza, not the paneer), but I was able to find plenty of things worth eating.

I have been here twice months apart. Here is what I can say…read more Pros: 1. Good price 2. Big portions Cons: 1. No air conditioning 2. Food kinda bland. Chicken kabob needs more flavoring/seasoning 3. Naan was not soft at all. It was very crispy and had too much butter/oil. 4. Immediately had stomach issues when I arrived home. There are much better restaurants in Frederick with similar food. If you want to save money though then this will suffice. I personally will not be dining here again.

I got paneer biryani which was so good and my friend got mushroom masala which she loved. We also branched out and got the vegetable pakora as an appetizer and we both loved them! They had just the right amount of heat. In terms of spice level, they have no spice, mild, and not. Usually I get medium at Indian places and mild was good but not super spicy. My friend who usually gets mild said it was a little too spicy for her.

TLDR: tired place, tired food, tired service…read more.. Favorite Oldest Grand Daughter (FOGD) was working yesterday so missed family Thanksgiving. I took her out for lunch to help make up for the missed turkey (take that any way you want, sports fans). I gave her a choice of sushi or Indian buffet; she chose Taj Mahal. Taj has been around for many years but somehow I've missed it. I heard it has a nice buffet (a decent value for $19 at lunch). When we arrived there were very few patrons so server said we had our pick of seats. We sat at a booth near the bar, near the buffet. Seats were ratty but in better shape than other booths. We grabbed plates at the bar and went for food - which was really tired and dried out even though it was was well before lunchtime ended. Server said she would bring pans of rice, butter chicken, saag, and naan so we tried what was available. Samosas were cold inside but filling was tasty; chickpeas that came with it were really good but again, cold. Onion pakoras were great, but some chutneys would have been nice. Goat curry was tasty, dry-spiced potatoes were good and had enough heat to make them interesting, but everything else was middle-of-then-road. When the fresh dishes came out we replaced out plates and tried again. Butter chicken and saag were really, really good, rice was really crunchy (undercooked) and quickly dried out under the warming lamps, and naan was good when very fresh but quickly got crunchy. We did not go back for more and skipped the salad/dessert choices. Frederick has a bunch of really good Indian (and Pakistani and Afghani) restaurants (mmmmm, Mint Room, Tulip Grill, and Mayako) so I would not put Taj Mahal anywhere the top of my list of similar places.

This place states it operates as a takeout (there are a couple of tables inside, but no service or…read moreamenities to speak of). They offer Indian with a bit of Indo-Chinese cuisine, but I stuck with straight Indian on this occasion. Upon opening my takeout bag, I was greeted by a fully flavored channa masala, a mouthwatering naan with grated chili, and a heck of a lot of flash-fried spinach. It was plenty of food for the money, interesting, and delicious. A little on the salty side, and frankly the spinach wore on me by the end and it would have been better shared or saved for longer than I had. The menu wasn't hugely broad, but they got the basics right.

Excellent food!! Don't sleep on this place!! I will be ordering from here again. The concept of…read moreIndo-Chinese cuisine was new to me and it did not disappoint. The samosas were crispy and full with filling and the sauces were delicious. The coconut curry was fantastic, but I didn't realize it came with a side of rice, so I ordered another side of rice. The description of the entree could've been clearer in that sense. The crispy garlic cauliflower wasn't exactly crispy, but it was delicious and might've been due to the delivery time. The rosemary garlic naan was incredible. I wouldn't order from here again without ordering the naan! I ordered delivery with Grubhub and it was very fast. I'm unsure about the vibes at the actual restaurant, but I'm sincerely doubting it's a sit down establishment based on other reviews and knowing the small strip mall set up where it's located.

A very good experience at Bawarchi Indian Cuisine. I stumbled upon this place and am glad I did…read more The curries are absolutely delicious. The dishes seem to be authentic and you can taste every bit of seasoning including cardamom, which is a signature flavor and aroma of a good curry. The gravy is thick and on both visits the texture was consistent. I was very impressed with the goat curry. I wanted to try the Kadai Goat, however it was not available on my visit. The food seems to be prepared to order as on both of my visits the host advised of a 30 mins wait to which they used every minute of it. The samosas were delicious and so was the Chicken Lollipop. The takeout quality seems to be as good as the dine-in. Overall, a very good experience and I will visit again when in the Frederick area.

I've been to a LOT of these buffets and there are certain things that just must be done. The chutney/condiments shouldn't come first, they should Come at the end or at least after the apps. If You are serving various types of Indian food (North Indian/South Indian/indo-chinese), group them together. This was a total mish-mash with no coherence (curd rice doesn't go next to gulab jamun, no point in serving sambhar if there's no idli, no uttapam, no dosa to go with it). The burners weren't keeping any of the food warm enough. A non-paneer sabzi is necessary and standard but somehow, nowhere to be found. The floors should NOT be sticky. Ever. But especially 20 minutes after opening. Now moving on the food itself: Hits: - peanut chutney: glorious, delicious, wish I had actual idli or uttapam to eat it with but the fluffy and soft mysore bonda was fine too - curd rice: lovely classic flavor and texture, hit the comfort food spot - Chai: hot, flavorful from the chai masala, and again very comforting - Lassi: right combo of tangy and sweet without being milkshake-like thick Gobi Manchurian: good as a dry app, right amount of breading for the cauliflower. Misses: - veg dum biryani: I know veg biryani is hard to pull off without it turning into veg pulao but it was obvious that they just sprinkled a box of biryani masala without actually taking the time to put real flavor into the dish - sambhar: almost cold, and clearly pre-made with store bought mix and almost no veggies when we got there (again, 20-30 min after opening) - Hakka noodles: adding black pepper doesn't make it Hakka noodles. Flavor was just so sub-par. Paneer butter masala: salty but not flavorful. Just...blah. - gulab jamun: almost certainly just store bought from a can - masala idli: really, really could be crisp. This was spongy idli texture which is great for...regular idly. Masala idly should have some crunch. Also not warm enough. Totally off putting to the point that I couldn't finish. I can overlook service issues in a buffet if the food is good. I can overlook issues with food if the service is great and issues easily rectified. The thing is, there were multiple servers at the ready but they couldn't get it together enough to provide a bowl for sambhar (what are we supposed to eat it in?!?!), we had to ask for serving spoons and tongs more than once and didn't get water until the tail end of the meal. This place just isn't worth the almost $20 they want per person for a buffet. Save your money and irritation.
