Taj Mahal

This is not a place I'd recommend anyone go for dinner based on my experience last night. The decor (and rice droppings on my chair before I sat down) alone might be enough to keep me from coming back, but the service - though well intentioned - was pretty deplorable. Poor communication, very slow (esp considering we were the only group in the restaurant), and the waiter actually took a call on his mobile phone while he was serving us. more

When I first walked in a couple nights ago I thought "oh dear"... but I was very wrong. The food is very good. Just spicy enough, very flavorful, and normal portion sizes. We ordered the full dinner, which I can never finish, and I had chicken tikka masala while boyfriend had the lamb korma. Both sauces looked so similar but the layers of flavors were quite different and equally wonderful. Excellent side dishes and creamy kheer for dessert, a favorite. The best part, though, was the tacky tacky tacky fake flower arrangements that were everywhere! Anywhere they could stick a cheap fake rose they did. I had just as much fun picking out my favorite tacky arrangement as I did eating their wonderful food! Bonus, they had Bob Marley tunes playing while we ate. The ultimate in wacky. I'll definitely be back. Pros: Tacky decor!, Great food!, Sparse but clean. Cons: Tacky decor!, But that depends..., ...what you like! more
