The Blue Taj

Our favorite Indian restaurant in Charlotte. The food is great our favorite go to for appetizers are the chili chicken, vegetables samosas and crispy fried paneer. The chicken korma is deliciously creamy and full of flavors. The butter chicken is the kids favorite, as for me I generally get the mutter paneer, cream based stew with peas and firm cubed like cottage cheese. Garlic naan is crispy and fluffy. Everything we’ve had so far has been great. The staff is always attentive. The mango lassi is generally good, but sometimes it comes out too sweet. Many vegetarian options.

Great food, especially the chicken makhani. Portions are large and shareable. I recommend getting a variety if more than one person is dining to properly experience the options. Service was attentive, but not overbearing, spoken in quiet tones to complement the subdued atmosphere. Soft Indian music playing in the background and lighting was dim for a more intimate ambience (although i prefer just a touch brighter). I've also done the takeout option, and the food is just as good, packaged securely, and portions were consistent with dine-in. A great southern Indian place to visit often.

Had a fabulous experience dining here with my family. Between us, we ordered: -mushroom / corn / paneer curry -saag paneer -chicken tikka masala (best dish) -lamb saagwala -kebabs (green variety) -garlic naan (excellent) -onions/chilis/lemon ($2) Every dish was a hit, and worth the slightly higher than usual price. Would strongly recommend!
