Taj Tandoor Restaurant

Best Indian food in Deer Park. No parking, have to park on deer park ave. Family owned. Sparce interior ambiance, basic tables and chairs, not sure if they serve alcohol but the food is good. Lamb Rogan Josh medium, excellent. Strange experience today. Asked for a merlot and got some sort of sweat white wine. I consider myself tolerant of spicy food that why I'm here in the first place. I've been here many times and have learned that choosing spicy is more then my pallet prefers. Ordered my lamb curry mild this time. It was spicier then the last time I got it. Nan came out cold, server very alufe, no chips and dips served. I was alone in the restaurant at 2:00 for lunch and felt I was bothering them. Went out for a cigarette found my food and wine removed with check on the table. Was charged for a pinot noir instead of the merlot I ordered. Not changing my rating yet, food was still good. Chef Madras curry lamb still great. Will put up with the spotty service for the chef. Dinner service is much better. Late afternoon lunch seams to be when the problems happen. Guess there trying to get ready for dinner and lunch customers are a bother for the 1 person who is there to wait on tables. Chef continues to put out quality food no matter what time of the day. My thanks to him. Have had the meat samosa and now the vegetable samosa. I'm not vegetarian but both good, I prefer vegetarian. Mix of onion and green sauce condiments on them. Salmon tandoori. Holy cow! This is a chef not a cook. 12/22. Not sure what's going on with all these recent bad reviews. I haven't been in a few of months. I hope nothing has changed. Just went to check it out. I am at a lose. I've had Indian in Amsterdam the Netherlands, London England, Paris France, A close Indian friend invited me to a home cooked dinner inspired by his mother. I was his seus chef for the evening, prepping ingredients for him. Had no idea what I was doing, but guess I did ok. Best Indian food I've ever had. Considering where we are, deer park LI, in my opinion this is as good as it gets. I have absolutely no idea what the negative reviews are about!!! Tasteless curry?? It's impossible for curry to be tasteless. Waiter that was on this afternoon, 12/20/23. Was ok with placing the correct order but dear God I could have driven to New Jersey before he noticed I left without paying.

Amazing environment I have been coming here since it's open. The owner's nephew was very kind to me. A 2 young guys were very friendly and were still moving out all those orders and Deliveries They were being also kind to my daughter.letting her feed the fishes Highly recommend if you want really good Indian style dinner platters the garlic Nana and the peshawari recipe I want it lmaoo.until next time

Food was amazing, I dined in recently with my girlfriend and we both got two different dishes of chicken I got curry and she got a dry rub. I must say it was the most amazing chicken I’ve had in a while. The portions were also great. My girlfriend and I received an appetizer, 2 drinks and 2 entrees and it came out to only $42. Definitely will be back and recommend others to give it a try.

Walked in just before 830... only 1 table occupied so we basically had the place to ourselves. Would have expected better service but the waitress was consumed in his phone and the owner was sitting there with his back to the restaurant. Food was ok Chicken tika Chicken curry old fashioned Onion nan Samosa.... Guess I see why people take out so much...
