Best WLM Reviews

If you have ever enjoyed authentic Indian food anywhere else, this is not the place for you. I have tried this place twice and it does not do Indian food justice. It has some aspects of good Indian flavors but completely misses the mark on texture and aesthetics. I have tried six different dishes here and none of them were ones I would recommend. Even the bread seemed like a frozen brand you can buy in the grocery store. If you've never had Indian before and you want to do an Americanized foray into eating this cuisine, this might be the place for you.
I really love the food here, it's the best Indian cuisine location between lex & Richmond. They painted over the old paintings from before though, I will definitely be missing those low-key. But favorite place easily
I am making this a combined review for options of in person, by phone and online. In person, the customer service is great and the food is great. Online, I could not order because when I put my credit card information online, it gave me a buffering circle. So that means the only way to place an order for pick up is through either phone call or in person. I tried calling the number and it went straight to voicemail, where it stated that the voice mailbox is full. These two other options for ordering, online and by phone are not bad ways of ordering; however, if they are offering these as options, they should be working flawlessly.
First timer here and in a nutshell, will never go back. I must disclose, I am of Indian descent so I know what good Indian food is supposed to taste. I’ve even travelled across the pond to India and has some of the best Indian cuisines in my life, so my standards may be off putting however, I have had Indian food here in the states and somewhat lowered my standards. Now, lets get to the food. I ordered the mango lassi, veg platter for an appetizer, and the paneer do piazza. The mango lassi hit the table first and it started off as a hit. Next, the veg platter came through and it was an appetizer sampler with a samosa, spring onion and potato pakoda, fried paneer, and a fried aloo square piece. All these dishes on the sampler were good, except for the paneer and it was only breaded with a bland paneer cube with no spices or previously grilled before frying. At this point into my dinner, I was content and was looking forward to my main course, the Paneer Do Piazza, which is supposed to come with green bell peppers, onions, and paneer in a tomato cream gravy. This definitely turned my opinion on the food the other way. First of all, the gravy tasted like tomato ketchup, yuck! Even looking at the color of the gravy, you can tell it was ketchup based. Secondly, there was only one bell pepper cube in there, and I didn’t even see any onions. I only took one spoonful and was done. I didn’t even bother taking the leftovers home as no one in my household would dare to touch it. The restaurant was completely empty, btw, so you’d think the service would be fast paced but NO. We literally asked for the check and it took so long to get it, I had to go up to the waitress and ask if we had to pay up front or do we continue to wait at our table. She said she would get our checks to our table. 5 minutes more pass by and still there was no check, so I decided to take initiative and go up to the counter to pay. Tasteless food and in addition, poor and slow service. I will most certainly not go back. 2 star rating because the appetizer and drink were tasty otherwise, if those failed, it would be a 1 star to 0 star rating.
A friend of ours loves this restaurant and we met him at Taj for dinner. Building is definitely dated, but we weren't there for the appearance of the restaurant. The food was fantastic and fresh. Service was good. We will return for sure.
I have been a vegetarian for almost 60 years. Indian and Thai are my favorite foods to go out for. I live at the far end of town from Taj, but the food is worth the drive. I must pass several Indian restaurants to get there and it is worth it. Several of the reviewers on this site are probably connected to other local Indian restaurants and therefore give poor reviews. That is a shame.
my husband got some rice, pakoras and some curry from here. It was the most worst experience for me. They sent me chicken 65 and jt was rotten. It tastes so bad. Done going in this place will never be back.
Had the tasty lentil soup , the lentils were very broken down and the soup was quite homogeneous. For my entre had the Lamb Korma the sauce was a creamy spicy mixture added atop rice and had a side of Nan to hand eat to my delight. Odd atmosphere here parts of it are trying to look like fine dining with lovely dishware and clothed tables. In contrast there are advertisements underneath the table glass, Hindi films playing on mounted televisions on either side of the room. It just kind of clashes to me but who cares the food is great. I look forward to trying another dish from Taj in the near future.
