Total rip off!

by alissaj1

Way dissapointing. And such a rip off. I expected much better with so many good reviews.

Had my b-day party here last night. Huge mistake, DON'T DO IT! Arrived early (11:30) and still had trouble at the door. Apparently a $600 table reservation doesn't matter. We were instructed to wait in the "line" which was just a mob on the sidewalk, took 20 minutes to get in.

Once inside, there was a mandatory coat check ($3 per item). The decor was non-existent, they just turned off all the lights in attempt to create "ambiance". Can't believe I spent so much money at this dump. The pics online are really decieving.

The music was just OK, mostly old school hip hop, felt like I was at a wedding for a while. The crowd was just TRASHY. Hoochies in Forever 21 dresses barely covering ther lady parts, showing off all thier cellulite. Skeevy dudes just STANDING on the dance floor.

Was emailing with the promoter, Chris AC, for two weeks. What a joke. He promised "no door drama" and any one on my guest list would not have to wait in line. LIES! A group of friends who arrived later (12:30) were told to go to the back of line, which was of course an hour long at that point. He also said we would have a table on the upper level with plenty of room for my party of 12-15 ppl. Nope! We got shoved into one of the small tables downstairs with seating for only 4 ppl.

I managed to have a decent night only because I was with my friends. In short, I will never, ever go back here. You should not go either!

• Pros: none
• Cons: TRASHY crowd

I'm glad I got in without paying a cover charge...

by DeeDee200

I went here for my birthday last month. I had a good time only because I was with my friends but it would have been much better had we gone somewhere else. The music was boring and it killed my dance buzz. Besides the music, the place was okay. If I had paid a cover charge, I would have been pissed that I spent money to get into this place. I don't think I am ever going back and I don't recommend it.

• Pros: Location. Other places to turn to that are near by.
• Cons: Music Sucks

Cool Spot

by jaseofspade

Ummm the place was pretty cool. They sent out thank you letters today to say thank you for having my party here last night, that's pretty cool. I've had a few parties for myself and friends and this is the first place that emailed me EVER to say thank you! we didnt even get bottle service and they still said thank you. So i'm leaving a review because they were nice enough to thank me for coming to their cool spot. So thank you Taj lounge for having me and my party!

Amazing afterwork Birthday party!

by The Wizzle

I never write reviews, but I celebrated my 40th birthday with friends, co-workers, and family @ Taj II last thursday, and I was moved to write THIS review. Every aspect of our evening was perfect. Our event coordinator Eddie, was phenomenal. He was professional, attentive, and true to his word he ensured that we would have a great time. Charles our bartender was a great sport, and Heather was terrific in meeting the needs of my guests. Our party was in the mezzanine, and it was spacious with great views of the club. The platters of food were plentiful and tasty. I will certainly return again and again. Kudos to Eddie and his staff. You guys are the truth!

• Pros: Service, Food, Space, Music
• Cons: None

everything worked out in the end

by Sambo339

i helped my best friend plan his birthday party at taj this saturday and "due to building issues" we had to move our party. the reservationist called us and told us that their capacity was 75 people!! we thought we were screwed but then she offered to send us to their other club katra. she offered us a free table and a free bottle of champagne for all of our troubles and we also got to invite more people. she was really nice and made us feel like everything was going to be alright.

my best friend had the BEST time ever and is probably nursing a nasty hangover right now. they really took care of us and made sure everything was perfect. even though we had originally planned to go to taj everything worked out in the end. hopefully next time we'll be at taj.

• Pros: nice staff
• Cons: they moved our party

loving the food!

by Ch0c0latequeen1985

I came to Taj for the first time on Friday night for my friend's birthday dinner and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. The waiter not only gave us the dinner menu but the bar menu as well so we had more choices! The Taj Wings are spectacular. They are spicy yet sweet and the Bombay Fries were so good!! I had the Pomegranate Chicken for dinner and it was perfectly cooked and the pomegranate glaze was just right. I definitely am going back for dinner, or just for the Taj Wings because they're so addictive!!

I just wish the cops hadn't messed everything up! We were having a great time and the music was great and then they had to move the crowd out due to a capacity issue or something. This is why Taj lost 1 star. The staff was really nice and accomodating and very apologetic and they gave us a few suggestions on where to go and we ended up next door at Duvet and got in for free because they knew what was happening at Taj.

All in all we had a great night even with the cops trying to shut the place down and I will be coming back soon

• Pros: great food, great service, great decor!
• Cons: cops..

Cool Spot

by luckyleftie007

So I'm not a real fan of going out because I hate super crowed places, long lines, and promoters that lie. So when my friends told me we were goin out I wasn't too excited. We were told 2 for 1 drinks and free until midnight on our guestlist, to my shock when we got in FOR FREE there actually were 2 for 1 DRINKS! That really made my night, plus the fact that there was a really sexy bachelorette party down the bar from us. I have to say that i really had a good time. The drinks were a little pricey but they were strong and good so it was worth the price. All in all i had a great time. Still not a "club" person but i can really see my self coming back to this place very soon!!

• Pros: 2 for 1 drinks and free guest lists
• Cons: a little pricey on the drinks

GREAT 21st birthday

by sexysince1988

I had a great 21st birthday at Taj. I started planning the birthday weeks in advance because I had never thrown a birthday party. I got bottle service and everything that i expected from my conversations over the phone were done that night! No suprise charges or anything like that which was awesome. I was a little upset at first because i couldnt come in until 12am on the dot (ern i actually made 21) but after i got in i had the best birthday EVER IN THE HISTORY OF MY BIRTHDAYS! lol it was really great. The manager even sent us over a free round of shots when she found out it was my birthday! I will def be comin back soon :)

• Pros: customer service, decor

Always A GREAT Time

by MissKatami

I recently celebrated my Birthday at TAJ on a Saturday night and it was one of the best birthdays I've ever had!

All of my friends had a great time.... No Drama, no complaints, and my boyfriend and his friends had no problems at the door....

The venue itself is beautiful, the crowd is upscale....

And the music was awesome... We all danced the ENTIRE night!

The promoters totally took care of me and all my friends... And from what I heard, the bartenders definitely werent shady with the pouring!

I had a table with a couple of bottles, and the promoter even gave me a free bottle of champagne =) The waitress was also really nice as well.

We've set up a bachelorette party here for next weekend... I cant wait to go back!

• Pros: Music, Crowd, Ambiance
• Cons: ?
