Pictured are Chilean Sea Bass in a sauce to die for, along with an order of Gobi Manchurian, but you could order any dish and it might be the best Indian food you ever had. To say that the food and service are excellent is an understatement. Go and enjoy; it’s a stellar restaurant one could stack against any competition.
This place is amazing! By far the best restaurant i’ve visited and the ONLY restaurant my family and i continue to come to year after year. The staff creates the most welcoming atmosphere and The service is amazing and the food is always good. Today i ordered the Shrimp Tikka Masala and it was so good. As you can see i cleaned the plate. I always have a wonderful experience here.
I should add an extra star on service. Amazing decoration and the service since the entrance and during dinner is extraordinary. The bread is a must and with the food, lamb, lobster, chicken, everything is a burst of flavors. Definitely the best Indian Restaurant I ever been
This place is beautiful and the food and staff were absolutely divine. I can't say it enough they deserve 20 stars. The meat samoas and salad are great. Everyone enjoyed their meals! We were treated like princesses. I can't wait to return. The only thing that I didn't love was the drinks. They were beautiful but not sweet and flavorful enough.
Royal Taj continues to be one of the finest dining experiences I've had in the area. From the moment you walk in, the ambiance welcomes you with a perfect blend of elegance and comfort. The interiors are beautifully designed, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that's perfect for both casual outings and special occasions. The food is absolutely outstanding. Every dish we ordered was rich in flavor, perfectly spiced, and presented with care. You can tell they use high-quality ingredients, and the chefs clearly know what they’re doing when it comes to authentic Indian cuisine. Whether it’s their butter chicken, lamb curry, or the fresh-baked naan, each bite feels like a celebration of taste. What really makes Royal Taj stand out is their exceptional service. The staff is consistently attentive, courteous, and genuinely welcoming. They make an effort to ensure every guest feels valued, and that personal touch makes a big difference. Over multiple visits, I’ve noticed they’ve maintained high standards in both food quality and hospitality, which speaks volumes about their commitment to excellence. It’s rare to find a restaurant that excels in taste, service, and ambiance — but Royal Taj manages to deliver all three, every single time. Whether you're a fan of Indian food or new to it, this place is a must-visit. Highly recommended!
