I grew up eating Indian food. The dishes offered at the Indian Taj's lunch buffet are very heavy on the cream, and the vegetarian offerings are extremely bland. The food here makes me feel ill and bloated. I can't speak for dinner, but the lunch buffet is not good. Really, for anyone to rate this restaurant as "great" is flat out ridiculous. The chana masala is okay, nothing more (again, rather bland). I get the feeling they are trying to make the food more palatable to Americans, but people don't want watered down Indian, they want Indian.

Best Chicken Vindaloo06/11/07 Posted by audreylauryn My friend recommended this restaurant after I had arrived in the city for the summer. I was craving aloo gobi and roti, but found another dish that tickled my fancy; chicken vindaloo. To warn anyone out there that has not had this dish, its hot, very hot. However, it is hot in manner that is not pure pepper or temperature. The spices which season this dish are subtle but combine to make a powerful statement. The chili and pepper did not overwhelm the cinnamon and cumin. It was wonderful. I cooled my palate down with a nice mango lassi. I have been back twice and have found the food to be always consistent. Pros: Food is worth the money, won't leave feeling empty Cons: Service was good

The first thing you notice when you enter the restaurant is the over powering smell of incense. It's dark and dingy, I guess some could classify it as romantic and cozy. We sat in one of the small private booths, which was nice, though it took forever to flag down the waiter when we needed something. The breads and samosas were what is expected at an Indian restaurant. We had the Baingan Bhartha and Paneer Pasanda. The eggplant was lacking in flavor and the paneer was stale. There is nothing worse than eating stale paneer at a restaurant, if I wanted that, I would've gotten frozen paneer and eaten at home. Overall- service was average, and food was below average. I will not be visiting again.
