I ordered Chana Masala w/basmati rice and a mango lassi for lunch. It was SO delicious and flavourful. The mango lassi is exactly what I needed after the spice, it's so refreshing. There's easily enough for 2 lunches too which is fantastic. I super reccomend this.

Food was tasty but portions were small and skimpy on meat. Server was pleasant but never brought water, didnt pour beer. When finished eating, had to flag her down. Had to ask for containers for leftovers and despite having four dishes to pack up, she only brought two i guess with expectation that dishes were to be mixed? Also just dumped containers and left us to pack everything up. Meh

Absolutely delicious!!!! The best butter chicken I have ever had! The flavours were an explosion of creamy sauce and Indian spices. Hands down amazing! Very friendly service and a very relaxing place to wander upon while looking for dinner later on a Sunday night!

Our first experience here was fantastic! Initially unsure about what to order, Gurleen (apologies if I misspelled the name) provided excellent recommendations and service. We enjoyed Butter Chicken, Beef Korma, Mango Lassi, Salted Lassi, Butter Naan, and Garlic Naan. However, a renovation would greatly enhance the ambiance, as the current look feels outdated.

We came here on our way back home, amazing food, we had, samosa chat, paneer chilli, rogan josh, and garlic naans. Everything was authentic . The mutton was sooo tender and the masala was out of this world!!! Saloni, our server was friendly, explained the menu and dishes perfectly. Kudos to her! Definitely a must visit place in Moncton for Indian cuisine. LOVED IT!!!

Wow Parked in front by chance while going to the international street art festival ( wasn’t much to do/ see). Walking back to my car I couldn’t help but follow my nose as my stomach growled from the amazing scents coming from the restaurant. Staff were all very friendly. Food was delicious. Probably the best Indian cuisine I’ve ever eaten and I live in mill woods AB

We went with a group of 11 people and ordered both vegetarian and non-vegetarian food. Vegetarian Starter- Chili Panner was awesome, we liked so much that we had ordered twice. Main Course- We have ordered dal Makhni, Kadai Panner and Malia Kofta. They all are good in taste. Generally, we saw Malia Kofta gravy sweet in taste, although in Taj you will find spicy which is good for the people who likes Malia Kofta spicy. Breads-Onion Kulcha taste was best, Garlic Naan, Butter and Plain Naan was also good. Non-vegetarian We tried Rogan Josh and Chicken Tikka Masala those were good in taste. Area of improvement: 1)Ambience- the lighting should be proper among restaurant and the wall paintings should be catchy. 2) Starter- the items should be more for vegetarian like Chinese -noodles, Manchurian or South Indian - dosa, idly or chap 3) Quantity- it was less, you can increase the price little bit,however please increase the quantity of food. 4) Drinks - Mango Lassi please make it sweet. Looks like the mangoes that was used in preparing the lassi that was sour in taste, although presentation was good.

One thing I like about this place is that the people are very friendly. They greet you with warm welcome and make you feel at home. The ambience is absolutely fantastic. The atmosphere at the Taj Mahal gives you a feeling of being in a authentic Indian restaurant. I met the owner of this establishment in person. He is a young and very energetic person with a pleasant personality. He has an excellent team of professionals who are passionate and proud of their work. Not only I see them take their job seriously, but also I did notice that they enjoy what they do. A real customer service is shown here. The waitress led me to a well set table and ensured that I was comfortably seated. She then asked me if I would like a glass of cold or warm water to drink. Then she gave me the menu and let me be alone to decide what I would like to eat. The À la carte has the right price tag attached to it. So, I ordered Chicken Tikka and Ginger ale. I requested not to make it spicy as don't have good tolerance for heat. They served this wonderful dish. As I took a bite, I felt that it was genuine. They have a great chef, who cooks fresh food. I did go back several times until the day I had to head back to my home. I really liked every single meal and the snacks that I tried. I was served with mouth watering delicacies and I savoured every bit of it with joy and gladness in my heart. The entire place is really clean. I do recommend this place.

Ordered karahi paneer and naan for takeout and it was so bad that I couldn t even eat it. Called the restaurant to complain and they basically couldn t believe the food was bad. Karahi paneer was super oily, didn t taste like karahi paneer at all and naan was uncooked and had a weird texture. It was our first time there and we will never be going there again!

This is probably the most authentic and proper Indian cuisine in all of Atlantic Canada. Halifax has some options that match this level of flavour. Their South Indian non-veg Thali is excellent, the fish curry is to die for. So is their mutton Biryani. Food

Absolute perfection. We had the butter chicken with garlic naan. Food was fresh, full of flavour. Aromatic just the right amount of spice. Even the pineapple juice tasted fresh, so delicious. It complimented the meal. The atmosphere is relaxing from the private booths to the gentle music playing in the background. Service was top class. Waitress was so incredibly friendly and very knowledgeable with the menu. Highly recommended and definitely my favorite restaurant in Moncton. It was an absolutely wonderful and authentic experience. Menu prices were reasonable too. Will definitely visit again. Thank you.

Ive been dining at the Taj for 10 years or more... every time I am in Moncton or passing through. The meals are consistently delicious and euphoric. The Bhuna beef and Rogan josht are my favorites, and the homemade garlic Naan melts in your mouth! The basmati rice is always done to perfection. I could go on... I havent eaten anything there that hasnt been delicious. I hope this restaurant stays in operation for as long as Im alive! The BEST!

The best Butter Chicken I have ever had. Also, the most perfect, fresh crispy and doughy garlic naans I have ever had. Everything I have ever tried has been very good. The Shrimp and the Beef Biryani are also really delicious and have lots of spice in them. I always leave feeling like it was a great meal.

Ordered via skip the dishes maybe thats the problem. 5$ for one piece of naan is outrageous. It was homemade and delicious but not worth it. Coconut chicken curry and butter chicken each had maybe five chunks of meat and the rest was just saucem again delicious but no veggies and not enough meat for the cost. Most disappointing, lamb Briyani was beef AND bland with nothing but the seasoned rice (no onions or raisons or anything) So mostly good but not worth the cost at all. Might consider going in to see if its any better... Maybe.

I ordered chole bhturae and the taste was so bad. It looks like they serve the stale food and they didn t change the oil in which they fried bhturae. After having the chole bhturae we suffered from sore throat. Even we left the food on the table we can t eat the whole thing just because it started makes our stomach hurt and sore throat. Nobody have enough time to gave you a fake review but if anybody put a review then please try to take it serious and tried to improve it. I hope this helps your business growth also .

I visited this place recently as a delivery driver. Friendly service. And food is always ready to pick up. The only thing I dont like about the delivery service here is that we have to sign paper while picking. I assumed some negative experience with drivers made this decision. I dont like to give my personal signature on public paper. Anyway other than that the staff is always super friendly. It was somehow difficult to find parking but we were informed in the directions. And no wait time for orders makes no issues at all Delivery take away and dining available

Mixed feelings. Food quality is good, service is good. But, you know, when Im eating Indian food I want to have multidimensional taste, or different kinds of taste. Here its like a single one, a little boring. Not so colourful (if you can tell it about taste) and spectacular. Kids like butter chicken, so this will order in future for takeout

Terrible service I went all the way to have proper dinner plus having big expectations because of the review. It was terrible, the food is good but the service was unbelievable. There are quite few tables when we arrive and they asked me if I reservation but I said no. The waitress took me table at the corner right in front of bar. I was OK with that, was given me menu and took 20 minutes to come and give me glass of water and another 20 minute to take the order. I am still OK with that the food got ready in 20 minute and I was not getting cutlery to eat the food. At the end they bring for me (3) tea spoon to eat my meals. Common sense that how the diner will eat the food with tea spoon at the end I had meals with big spoon that was supposed to share the food. Never again even if it for free, that much terrible service but I was kind enough to leave the tips for the waitress. But not worth it

This is the best Indian restaurant Ive had the chance to experience in Moncton. First lets talk about the atmosphere which is top notch, not too much noisy just a calm vibe all around with indian music and Indian art all around. Secondly the service was great, the waiters were really friendly and helpful, the only con about the service would be the waiting time for the ones that are impatient. And last but not the least, the food was amazing, sure it is a bit more pricy when compared to the other ones in Moncton, but the quality is something that theyve never compromised. Had the Pakoras for starters, then naan bread with kadahi paneer and veg jafrezi all of which were top notch! Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to try North indian food. Vegetarian options: The vegetarian options are great, would highly recommend the veg jafrezi, the pakoras and kadahi paneer. Also the aloo gobi is something that can satisfy your curiosity.

Went here today for lunch and was blown away. We tried the butter chicken and the chola bhatura. The order of butter chicken came with either naan or rice. I ordered it with naan and added rice as a side. We also ordered the masala chai. Service was fast and efficient. The food however was AMAZING. The gravy with the butter chicken was flavorful and the chicken itself was juicy. The naan was a star all itself and the chai was tasty. The chola bhatura was new for us and the chickpea mixture combined with the cucumber sauce were so tasty. The bread pocket served alongside was perfect for scoops of chickpea and sauce. The tamarind sauce that came with it wasnt a favorite , but it was phenomenal even without. We ended up sharing everything because it was just so good. Definitely recommend.

I ordered what used to be my favorite meal at the Taj and I must b honest they must have chnged chef the meal was awful. Usually that Malai Kofta is a mixture of potatoes and soft cheese (usually meatball form) in a rich but creamy cashew sauce. The 3 allongated dried up I do not now what I was eating was immersed in a super spicy hot sauce not at all that creamy cashew sauce. Very disapointed . I hate that restaurant when you order out is not the same quality that when you are seating in.

I ordered a lot of food . Went there with very high expectations but food was completely of bad quality and had no taste . Dal makhni , aloo muttor and even lassi and rest what we have ordered was so bad that we were not able to eat . Did complaint but of no use . Spoiling the name of Taj Mahal .

Kadai chicken and vegetables manchurian I ordered but really very bad , kadai chicken gravy was fake , its chickpeas masala gravy, not really indian taste . Quantity of every food which I ordered very low compare to other indian restaurant in Moncton. Service speed too slow , if you ordered Roti again you need to wait 15-20 minutes and meantime your curries become cold, veg manchurian was too hard like rubber ball , I ordered gravy manchurian but its almost dry. Roti prices are very high, waste of money and time. Old is not Gold .

On the good side: the rice and butter chicken were great and pleasantly flavorful, and the staff was very friendly and helpful when we ordered. However, the naan we got was all burned and very soggy to the point of almost being mush only 10 minutes after pickup. Most of the other dishes in our order were distinctly lacking in any high points of flavor or seasoning, resulting in an overall flat taste that was pretty disappointing given the high reviews. Overall the meal was fine but not to our liking and not what we were expecting.

I placed an order for delivery which arrived within 45 minutes. However, they forgot to put the rice in so I called and they said they would send someone right over with it. An hour passed and I still hadnt received it so I called back and was assured the driver was on his way. I complained to the woman on the phone saying that my whole order is cold at this point and all she said was sorry about that. Hell be there soon. Very disappointing for the cost.

Solid choice for Indian food.

December 22, 2022

The food was okay, but we were 7 people and they made up to tip them 15% of the bill compulsory which should not be done. They are taking tips from you even though you dont want to tip them. It was something I had never seen in any Indian restaurant before. I would never suggest this restaurant fro more people never before now.

Well the food and staff was good but for some reason they have weird thing that if you go in a group of more than 6 people they will charge you 15% extra money on your bill and that was mandatory tip was not included. We dont mind paying tip from the service and food we receive but charging 15% extra money does make any sense to me. Not Happy with that rubbish scheme.

Didn t like the experience this time at Taj on 26th Feb, 2022. We were charged 14$ extra plus applicable taxes for the alcohol which we never ordered. Went through the bill, I thought it was just 7$ extra, so got the refund immediately from them. After reviewing the bill again, we were charged another 7$. We were sitter on table 8, got charged for table 9. Roti was not cooked properly, chicken tikka was delicious. We came from Saint John, highly disappointed.

You never get what you give a special request. It has happened once and this is the second time. I asked for Indian spice lamb biryani and i got the quite opposite level off spice( which you can only feel the salt but no spice). Tried to give a second chance but again a failure.

December 22, 2022

I really appreciate service because they have only liquid diet . They need 1.5 hour to prepare food for dine in

December 22, 2022

Ordered food and waiting for more than 30 min. Food didnt not even smelled good. Asked manager to take it back. Manager gave us other dish which was even worst. And in return they included the food items on bill which we even didnnt ordered. Please do not waste your time visiting this place.

The last time I had Taj was at the end of April 2022 and it was absolutely delicious. They seemed to have mastered their butter chicken and Palak paneer to perfection. If you see this review Taj, keep doing what youre doing! The spice was fantastic also. Just the right amount of ou la la! Cheers!

Located in downtown Moncton, this reasonably priced India cuisine is one of the top 3 restaurants in the city regardless of its specialty. Nice atmosphere with consistent good service.

This restaurant can comfortably and confidently accommodate gluten free requests! More details: they do have gluten in their kitchen so there is possibility of cross contamination. That being said, one of the employees Is celiac, too, and the other staff members were able to reassure me the kitchen gets the seriousness of gluten cross contamination. This may not be the best description of events, but the most important part is that I felt super comfortable ordering from here. Pictured is butter chicken (soooo good), rice, and palak paneer, all enjoyed at home.

Loved the food and service. From starters to main everything was delicious and up to the mark. Went there last Sunday, I would say their kadhai paneer, chilli paneer and chole bhature were so far the best in Atlantic Canada. Their chicken biryani is good won t say best but still good and flavourful.

December 22, 2022

I am deeply disappointed about the behaviour I received from the employees there. They werent generous or polite and made us stand until they finish cleaning though only one table was messy there. The food served was also not in the proper way like what we wanted and they didnt provided even water.

We called to check for parking option as this place is in downtown and person(male) told us that nothing is nearby and we should try back street. He also reminded that post 7:30pm he wont take us in due to prior reservation. He was polite and friendly. We reached before 6:30 pm and greeted by Sunny but he denied us to dine in as 7:30 onwards there was a big group coming in. There were two other tables empty and we told him that we just called and were asked to come before 7:30 but he lied on our face to not talked to anyone and turned rude. I tried to explain as I was tired after a day long ride and we called specially before coming here but he kept refusing to have any words with us. I agreed for takeout and we ordered(at 6:30Pm) the food. Sunny told me that he doesnt make rules here and we might do the order in 15 min but may not finish the food by 7:30. he definitely need to be coached on how to handle customers in a conflicting situation. He later admitted to talk with us, when I told him for bad review but didnt apologize still for his goofup. I would let the owner handle him or if he is the owner then may god bless you. Food is just ok, signature butter chicken got too much butter though chicken peices were marinated well. Garlic naan and garlic roti were not good in taste. Non indian ppl may like it but someone coming from Toronto area can skip this place. Not worth for 4+ rating as saw other people also reported for bad behavior by staff

The place is beautiful, the curry sauces are flavorful and pretty spicy (coming from an Asian), and the reception is lovely! The only peeve I had was that we ordered Korma and it didnt come with rice! Curry naturally pairs with rice, and I think any curry order should prompt you to choose rice to go along with it. Otherwise 10/10 would go again!

Just tried Chilli paneer and channa Batura with masala tea. Chilli paneer was absolutely awesome, a must try, it was finger licking delicious. Unlike other restaurants where Chana and batura are a dish together, here the channa had to be ordered separately with Batura. Still good, could be better. overall the ambience, music and staff were really accommodating. Kudos to the effort!!!

Only tried takeout, but did try many of our favorites, knowing that each Indian restaurant will have their own version of these recipes. We ended up enjoying about half of what we ordered, and the breads were good but expensive. Most of the entree dishes were strangely sweet - sweet enough to be distracting. We ve never had Indian food from a restaurant that was so sweet. Other than that, the rogan josh seem to have raw spices in it that hadn t been cooked out and the Biryani was - sorry to say - the worst Biryani we ve ever eaten, from any restaurant or from within our own kitchen. It was tasteless and gummy, and we had to throw it out. In the end, we had a lot of leftovers that nobody wanted. The prices seem reasonable for what you get, but stop being so stingy and include plain basmati rice with entrees. It costs next to nothing for you and would make customers happier - hate it when restaurants charge for rice. So, it s a little less than average, but I wouldn t order from here again, even for the dishes we liked, because of the styrofoam dishes they pack the take out in. They do not close properly - not just my experience, but the cashier warned me when I picked up my take out to be careful because the lids do not close on the dishes. So, the restaurant knows the dishes they use are bad and don t close properly, but are too cheap to change to better packaging for their customers. (Yes, we had spillage before getting home.)
