" I have to say – this is one of the best Indian restaurants in the area! I’ve eaten here multiple times and every visit has been satisfying. The curries are always bursting with flavor and the portions are generous. I love dining in because the ambiance is warm and comforting. It doesn’t feel like just another restaurant, but more like a home away from home. " (*Curated Review*)

" I always come to Taj Mahal for their lunch buffet. It’s a steal! The variety is great – a bit of everything – and everything tastes fresh. Their samosas are to die for! While the service can sometimes be slow, the food makes up for it. Plus, I enjoy chatting with the owner who is always so friendly and welcoming. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a great find! This little restaurant has such a delicious menu. Everything we ordered was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The owner was delightful, providing excellent customer service while we enjoyed our meal. We can’t wait to come back and try more dishes from their extensive menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" Taj Mahal Restaurant has some of the best Indian food I've had outside of India! Each dish we ordered was authentic and well-spiced. The host was incredibly welcoming, providing excellent service throughout our meal. The only downside was that it took a bit longer than expected for our food to arrive, but it was worth the wait! Definitely a place I will recommend to friends and family. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was hoping for more from Taj Mahal after hearing the buzz. The food was decent but just average to me. The naan was thick and not as fluffy as I expected. I did appreciate the friendly staff and nice atmosphere though, which made the experience pleasant. I would consider giving it another shot, possibly during lunchtime. " (*Curated Review*)

" I wasn’t a fan of my experience at Taj Mahal. While the food was decent, it didn't stand out to me compared to other Indian restaurants. The vibe was warm, and the owner came to greet us which was nice, but I expected flavor and depth in my meal that simply wasn’t there. It’s unfortunate as I’ve heard good things. " (*Curated Review*)

" I found my experience at Taj Mahal to be quite inconsistent. Some dishes were fantastic, especially the biryani, but the samosas lacked flavor. The owner was helpful and friendly, providing great service the entire time. The atmosphere was bustling, yet welcoming which adds charm to the place. Overall, it was a 50/50 experience, but I think I might come back and try a few more dishes. " (*Curated Review*)
