- foodThis was EVERYTHING I NEEDED IT TO BE! As someone from Houston, where the food is amazing, I've finally found a spot that truly calls my name. The restaurant is friendly and consistent.
- Indian foodThe goat curry and samosas are my favorite dishes, especially when enjoyed with raita and garlic naan. I highly recommend this place to anyone who loves good Indian food. Sam and all the staff are very kind and will treat you like family.
- buffetThe service was amazing and the staff kept on checking in with us. On top of all that, the food tasted amazing and they had a buffet too. I would definitely recommend this place!
- garlic naanOur server, Setesh, was very polite, and all the servers were incredibly hospitable. We thoroughly enjoyed the chicken malai kabob served on a sizzling platter, the lamb korma, garlic naan, and the chicken samosa. Everything was exceptionally flavorful and perfectly satisfied our appetites!
- butter chickenOur server, Diksha, provided excellent service, and the meal was top-notch. I will definitely return for the garlic naan and butter chicken.

Frequently criticized
- foodThe service and atmosphere were both excellent, rated 5 out of 5. The food was also rated 5 out of 5, but it had a unique characteristic: it got super spicy fast, leaving me wanting more but ultimately too spicy to continue 😅.
- chicken tandooriThe chicken tandoori tasted and looked like it was from yesterday
- food qualityI couldn’t touch it. For a restaurant delivering through a major platform like UberEats, this level of quality is unacceptable. If you’re hoping for authentic Indian food, avoid this place completely.
- tandoori chickencook my tandoori chicken properly. I told him I wanted it spicy
- Chicken MadrasChicken Madras, pretty bland to be honest
- Chicken SamosaThe Chicken Samosa tasted spoiled, with an off smell that made it impossible to eat.
- Food safetyI stopped eating immediately and saved the food to report it. Food safety should always be a top priority, and this kind of contamination should never happen. I expect the restaurant to take full responsibility and make sure this doesn’t happen again to anyone else.
- Hariyali Chickenthe Hariyali Chicken was soaked in an unnaturally harsh green color - nowhere close to authentic, and looked more like dye than food.
- Indian placesThey added hidden fees to my pickup order and attempted to throw away the receipt to conceal them. Regarding the food, I found that there are better Indian places to eat. I would not recommend going here.
- Peshawari NaanThe Peshawari Naan was burnt, completely blackened and uneatable.
If youre seeking authentic Indian flavors with good quality and variety, this restaurant generally delivers a satisfying experience. While there are some notable inconsistencies and a serious past food safety concern, the overall positive feedback suggests its worth trying for its delicious offerings.

- restaurant operating feeNot a fan of a $2.87 "restaurant operating fee."
- tap waterService was just okay. What surprised me was when we asked for tap water, they were going to charge us for bottled water instead. Overall, not the best experience and I probably wouldn’t come back.

If you're looking for generally reasonable prices and good deals like an all-you-can-eat option, this place could be a solid choice. Just be sure to double-check your bill for any unexpected operating fees or charges for tap water, as these can quickly add up and impact your overall value perception.

Disappointing Change in Food Portions
I used to love this place. Since the takeover by new management, the food quantity has significantly reduced. The dosas are smaller, and the portion sizes and breads are also smaller.
I've stopped coming here after being a regular since they opened.

Disappointing Buffet Experience at Taj Palace
Based on reviews, I was expecting a great variety at Taj Palace, but I found that most Indian restaurants offer a similar menu. We ventured for the buffet, and it was nothing extraordinary, featuring the same menu as other establishments. The masala chai was horrible and priced at $4 a cup, though it was eventually removed from the bill.
I also noticed the service staff seemed a bit frustrated when they got busy, which was another drawback. Customer service doesn't seem to be a priority for them. My review likely won't make a difference, as they seem to have a steady stream of customers, suggesting that ethics aren't a significant factor in their culture.

Tender Lamb Curry & Creamy Kofta
My experience at the restaurant was fantastic! I had the lamb curry, which was incredibly tender and flavorful. The Malai kofta was also a highlight, with a wonderfully creamy texture and delicious vegetarian balls.
The service was friendly and attentive. I will definitely be returning.
