Editorial Review for Taj – by Sandra Ramani
The Scene
A fine blend of style and substance, this large, modern space is accented with a mahogany bar, carved teak screens, sandstone statues and sexy lighting, most of it imported from India. But this is no theme restaurant: The food and atmosphere are infused with the exotic, rather than overpowered by it. Soft banquettes and pillow-laden booths enhance a refreshingly mellow vibe, and the shift from eatery to lounge is organic.
The Food
The kitchen has created a changing menu of upscale French and New American dishes with Indian touches. Tandoori-style red snapper is delicately flavored with mushroom ghee; pan-roasted lobster tops deliciously aromatic basmati rice; and the wild-greens salad is hopping with chaat masala. Portions are small, so you'll have room for some wild berry "samosas" afterward.

Insider Tips
Know Before You GoWith no attitude or door policies (some servers even wear flip-flops with their stylish black outfits), the restaurant aims to be inclusive. So if you see a line, it's because of the fire codes.
What to DrinkSignature cocktails include the cucumber-infused mojito and an Absolut Citron, rosewater and champagne martini.
The ExtrasWith large U-shaped banquettes, tons of comfy seating and a mezzanine-level lounge, the space is great for big parties.

came here for dinner, and then stayed afterwards for the party on a friday night. the food was veryyyy yummy, but i feel a TAD bit overpriced. definitely worth it for the first time experience, but i doubt i'd go back there for dinner. After dinner, my girlfriends and i had a TON of fun at the party. crowd was pretty friendly, bartenders were decent, and the music was amaaazing. i'd definitely go back here for dancing and drinks.
Pros: tasty food, good music, great atmosphere
Cons: a bit overpriced

The music and decor was awesome! It was crowded and the service was terrible, the waitress was rude! It's mad expensive and overated. The dark hair skinny waitress, she was so rude and obnoxious, I guess since she already knew she was getting a big tip because we order a bottle, service after that was NONE. At the end of the night we wanted some martinis, we gave her a $100.00 and said we want our change back, apparently she misunderstood and never came back, we finally did ask for change, she came back with an attitude and the money fell on the floor and she walked away. Attitude like this will drive customers away.
Pros: GOOD MUSIC AND NICE DECOR
Cons: EXPENSIVE AND RUDE WAITRESS
