Taj Mahal

Great place for the price, quality and quantity when you're feeling like something Indian! >> Maharajas They serve rice in large bowls to share so you will never run out of rice! I also appreciate that they have vegan options available. I ordered the vegetable korma and it was delicious, the flavor a lovely blend of spices and creaminess. The only thing is that I asked for Indian hot but it wasn't in the least spicy, which was disappointing! Overall still a great dish. Their naan breads are tasty, not tough at all to bite into. I personally like their garlic naan as I can't stand eating plain bread-like foods. Also ordered their gulab jamun and really enjoyed those! They were soft and squishy, each bite released some of the sweet syrup. It has a spongy texture but when soaked it stays firm and keeps its bounce. I could taste the milk just slightly but not the cheese, and the sugar syrup was a great accompaniment. The syrup was very sweet though, I personally could tolerate it and thought it went well with the balls.

The Taj is our favorite Indian restaurant for lunches. Excellent lunch pricing, friendly service, generous with the nan bread and rice, so we keep going back! The Palak Paneer (vegetarian) and Butter Chicken are my favorites. Only the toilets around the back of the building let the experience down a little (you have to go out side to what almost feels like a portaloo).

This Indian restaurant is outstanding! I've been many times and have never had a dish I didn't love. Easily the best Indian food I have ever eaten in my life, and for such an incredible price! The lunch special offers a curry, naan, and unlimited rice for only $10 and it's always enough to leave me full. Their Wednesday dinner special gives you an even larger portion of curry for $13, also with unlimited rice, but naan is separate. If you happen to be in Dunedin in time to catch the lunch special, you'd be a fool not to.

A small and unassuming restaurant which is clearly very popular with local Indian families. The service was a little slow as it was so busy. But we were very pleased with the food- some lovely tastes. Love the food, the pricing is decent, the amount of naan bread and rice at lunch spot on. One of my favorite restaurants with this mix. I would certainly go back there.
