REVIEWS OF Taj Indian Cuisine IN Connecticut

kishoreranjan80 .

I truly liked this restaurant but today's experience was horrible...The waiter was so arrogant! Need to think twice before going there again....

Prathyush rao Katar

Worst customer service ever!!! I had never seen a guy with that rude attitude.

Michael Webster

The food is very good. The drawback is the atmosphere. The bathrooms are pretty poor and it was incredibly cold in the restaurant (we wore our winter jackets the whole time). With a few tweaks they could easily be a 5.

Robert French

Buffet is very good but rarely changes. Too many rice choices. Few entree choices. Taste of food and service is excellent. A little slow to refill buffet offerings.

Gary Mayhew

Great food, good selection on menu and buffet. Great service.

Ellie Lott

I came here with my coworkers for a holiday celebration and was surprised to enjoy it so much! I haven't always enjoyed Indian cuisine, but Taj had excellent food (along with a lovely environment).

Evan Caprari

Lunch buffet is great. Try the butter chicken! Wish they had saag paneer on the buffet instead of another veggie, but good selection nonetheless.

Sritam Rout

Biriyani does not taste good. Super expensive place.

Lindsay Ware

Love Taj- it’s the best!

Ken Lafayette

We used Taj for a major event where we needed exceptional Indian food. We choose Taj because of the great reviews. We had many people come to the event who said it was the best Indian food they have ever tasted. If you want great food from a great restaurant you need to try Taj.

Neeraj

Good food. Better then few Indian restaurant near portland

Pallavi Bhasker

We went there after searching for the lunch buffet in the area, but after reaching we were informed that the buffet was over and we have to order a-la cart. We were a little disappointed but cant blame them bcoz of the heavy volume of guests that day, the place was going crazy with visitors (probably due to long weekend and last day of summer). We decided to eat there anyway and we were pleasantly surprised with the food. Everything was so good and tasty, and staff was also very prompt in attending the customers. This was the best food we had in Maine in our 4 day visit

just Doughty

Food is great, staff is great, price is great. Location is ... Meh. But it has a good parking lot. Most of the clientele is also Indian, so if that's any indicator of the quality.

Vaisakh Unnithan

Great food with great people. When i visited the place , it was almost full and i had to wait or 10 -15 mins. But they made sure that they took care of us very well and set up the table for us ASAP. Talking about the food, you could get the real taste of Indian Food. Truly 5 star....

Jack Green

Had dinner with girl friends. Menu is perfect, something for everyone. Service was awesome. Will be back definitely!

Ole Mathiesen

Really nice Indian food.

nathan wang

Quality Indian food. Overall quality very good with friendly service to boot. Some South Indian Delicacies are particularly good, including and especially the masala dosa.

Eric Hamburg

Great Indian food.

Jeeth Krish

Awesome buffet!

Harin Bhavsar

Great food and service

Thanh Kieu

If you're looking to curb that Indian Cuisine cravings. I'd definitely stop in at Taj. Best Indian restaurant around the Greater Portland area. I've gone to other places but it doesn't come close too it. The food is amazing, hot and fresh. I've tried something new everytime I go. Also, substitute the regular naan for Coconut Naan or just get both. And definitely save some room for that Mango Lassi

Ajish Mathew

Reminded me of Kerala and Indian food

Jesse

Good lunch buffet and attentive staff. It's hard to justify eating here for dinner when a single entree is as much as the entire buffet, though. Lunch is a solid 4.5 with the dinner prices pulling it down.

Marc Sternemann

Amazing buffet. Great price and food was outstanding.

Dustin Whitmore

So this has been the only Indian food I have ever tried but it was all great. I have nothing to compare it to but delicious all the same

Charles Foss

Excellent food, service, and value

Paladugu Sai Teja

Nice Indian food, items from 'The Clay Oven' menu are exceptionally good

Mark Roy

Great staff with wonderful authentic Indian cuisine.

Nick Downs

Great Indian food and friendly staff. I love the lunch buffet.

Caleb Valley

Great food! Authentic and loaded with flavor, definitely going back soon. They're naan and chicken Tika masala was so tasty!

Theo Kirkley

They were very generous to serve a free meal during the grand opening. The staff was kind and helpful and the place was cozy.

Deepak Gupta

Awesome food. Best in connecticut.

Aslam mohammed

It’s a good indo-Chinese restaurant.. service was excellent.. I would recommend any food tried here go to spicy level high.. not many Chinese food option.. I tried veg Manchuria and veg fried rice.. Manchuria had too much tomato sauce and fried rice was okay!

Nicole Taiani

We absolutely love it here. They are always busy so be prepared to wait for food. Khorma and Coconut Naan are must haves.

Amitabh Srivastava

Great Indian food for buffet

Michael Perrotti

Great food. Great selection. Great staff. I highly recommend it.

JUSTIN A

Great lunch buffet. Many options and good value. The food was quite good! We will be back.

Chris Borek

Very good service and I enjoyed the food. I especially appreciated seeing South Indian foods on the menu; the Sambhar was tasty and idli were light and delicious. They have a sizable menu with a full page of vegetarian entrees. Located very close to stores and movie theater, very easy to find and ample parking available. It is on one level with no steps and would be accessible to those with special needs. I will be in the area again next week and plan to eat there again.

Todd Bires

Been here several times since they recently opened. Comfortable restaurant with awesome food! The background music could be a little bit livelier.

Gary DeMercurio

Great lunch buffet, great price! Food was delicious and the people were extremely nice!!

Yash J

Liked the pani puri chat and Panneer masala. Lunch buffet was delicious and would definitely recommend this place

Larry Kollenberg

From out of town. Read reviews and decided to try it. Seated promptly, asked questions about the menu and received good suggestions. Wait staff very attentive. Both of us enjoyed our veggie sampler. The entire was excellent, we couldn't finish the mango pudding for dessert which was a great finish. Priced reasonably. Portions are large. When back to visit in the area will definitely return.

Enrrique CIVICUT

THE BEST☆☆☆☆☆ Indian Cusine in the Fairfield area ..thanks Taj

Asmita Suryavanshi

Service was very slow and food was not up to mark

Laurie Atwood

Delicious top notch Indian cuisine with reasonable prices, good servings. You will not be disappointed here! We order take out from work several times a month.

Bob F

This place absolutely lives up to all the hype. Great staff. Can be a little slow on a Friday night as the delivery drivers were stacked up all night. Who cares, it is wonderful food served by a great group of people

Abdul Basir Al-Armini

Decent lunch buffet. Plenty of seating. For Maine, this is a good choice as food made milder for American palate. The pakoras were nothing more than clam cake batter with an onion strand or two. Overall service was prompt and attentive. Very clean.

Samuel Pierce

Pretty good lunch buffet. Most dishes quite enjoyable and only sine with the telltale signs of buffet-sitting. I would enjoy going back for a night meal based on the quality of the food. The bread with the buffet was a real treat and or is very well priced.

Donald Haggett

Earlier this week the Best Western Merry Manor Inn in South Portland hosted a regional meeting for Best Western Managers from all over New England and also from Phoenix, Arizona. As part of the conference we were asked to provide Indian dishes for the group. I called Kai at Taj Indian Cuisine and ordered several dishes for the two day meeting. The people attending the conference said that it was some of the best Indian food they had ever had. I would like to thank Kai and his staff for providing great food in a timely manner. I would highly recommend this restaurant! Thank you Kai!

Orit Golos

Excellent food, not big portions. After we were sitted we waited for 50 minutes for the food to be served. Much too long, even for great food.

Hariprasad Annamdasu

Name resembles the symbol of perfection for Biryani. We missed it. Disappointed...:(

roger mathew

Great food. Great staff. I highly recommend

Jennifer Jordan

My first experience with Indian food and the meal was great! The staff was also friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Mohammedkhalid borkar

Fantastic place to taste the real Indian cusine. Restaurant manager Mr Antony is really the best to take care of guests.

John Santora

I I came here during the week for the lunch buffet and it was very good. The people who work here were helpful and very friendly as well.

Tod Bramble

Best Indian Food in Maine. The lunch buffet is the best deal and quite popular. The friendly staff are great and always welcoming.

Kallol Barai

Amazing place for having Indian food and It's buffet menu is great in comparison to the price.

Debjanee Protyasha Nandy

Didn't like the Biriyani. The food was okayish.

Monique Roy

Love the food! Clean restaurant, excellent food, warm friendly atmosphere. Impeccable service!

George Barber

A great variety of good Indian food. The tastes and spice level options were perfect. It was nice to see a variety of patrons from India as well. I do have several small criticisms which can be remedied easily 1. The Masala Tea was off taste completely. 2. The amount of lamb and chicken in two different entrees were miniscule. 3. No chutney were offered for free. 1st time ever. Yet, the tastes of the sauces were exceptional and almost completely made up for the shortcomings. Next time I will try the lunch buffet. I WILL BE back.

md.shariar Noyon

Food is delicious and serving is awesome

thomson john

we've been here several different times, trying different things and buffet....everything is DELICIOUS .... if you want authentic Indian food served in authentic Indian dishes ...this is the place!

Ana Werner

Buffet has a good variety of food for vegetarians and non vegetarians. Everything tasted fresh and spiced very well. Can't wait to come back...

Vasalath Ali Sameer

Good Food. Bit pricier when compared against quantity.

Robyn Montoya

Great food and friendly staff.

Charm Stone

Our last meal of our vacation! Came here based on the reviews we read online. It didn't disappoint. We ordered the Gobi Manchuria, butter chicken, shrimp Tikka masala, Naan and roti! Everything was delicious. Happy we stopped in! It was quite busy for a Monday night. It was yummy!

Shelley God blessed Child

My husband and I came here to eat and what am experience. I explained what I wanted to eat but when the food came it wasn't what I explained. After I finished eating I was shocked to hear that the chef cooking what I originally wanted. I didn't even ask for it. I love this place. Customers are definitely first, restaurant is clean and decorations are beautiful. Definitely will come again.

Jamie Drums

Delicious food, decent price

Holly Kidder

My go to for Indian food in the entire Portland area, so delicious, and the staff is very sweet-natured and accommodating. Great prices, too. The chai is like jet fuel - very caffeinated!

Francine Salmon

I did not enjoy the dishes I was served. I was very disappointed. No authenticity.

harshyt sheth

Excellent food quality! I eat there frequently. They always cook everything fresh. Spices are on point! Weekend Buffet is highly recommended.

Stephy C

Great food! The buffet is awesome I enjoyed the chicken, rice and fresh fruit. Good food for a resonable price

Siddarth Sudhakaran

Nice place, good service, and great tasting food.. portion size is good and the people serving are very nice and attentive.. will be back here!

Julie Hodges

Really nice food. Lovely staff who where helpful but not intrusive.

Darren Lieu

Amazing Indian food, and is very authentic. Excellent staff and everyone means well. Great people and great environment, positive vibes. Brought every single one of my friends here because they had to experience it themselves. All very pleased. Would highly recommend!

Adam Brochu

The food is very good. The entire staff are very attentive and nice. Serving sizes are just right. The buffet is worth it if you ever find yourself looking for lunch.

Doug McCown

I'm reading some of the prior reviews, and I confess that all I ever eat at this place is the Indian buffet, for lunch. It's wonderful. Just delightful. Beware, if you exercise daily or play a sport on the same day, beware. You'll likely not be able to get off the bench. After my 5th return, I have to waddle out to the Lyft. And get into the trunk. Sometime, try the buffet!

Narayana Sarathy

Excellent food and felt fresh. Enjoyed the buffet.

Duhita

It was good! The food is also good

Josh Lovejoy

One of Portland, Maine's greatest failures was the closure of Haggarty's Brit-Indi restaurant. In the years since it closed I've just been unsure where to get some good Indian food. I have to admit that I never considered Taj due entirely to its location. My bad. On our way out I told my wife that I was angry I had never gone before. We had the paneer tikka masala and butter chicken with some naan. Absolutely perfect. Every bite had our eyes rolling back in our heads. Service was great, the place was fairly busy, and our food was out in a completely reasonable amount of time. We will definitely be making Taj a regular dinner spot.

Satish Chamreddy

A great Indian restaurant in Portland Area, good food and lots of choices on the menu.

Dianne Berube

This place in an undicovered gem. The food is amazing and the service is stellar. From the outside and the location, is easy to overlook, but if you like Indian food, this little restaurant near the mall is a must. Lots of great vegetarian options.

Sam Andreson

The food was fresh, properly prepared and a great value for the price. We highly recommend it. The lunch buffet on Sunday was equally as good.

Dr Ganapati R Hegde

Many varieties to chose in buffet menu

Vivek Vasudevan

Good staffs. Good Indian food

Robert

The food is GREAT! A lot of choices to pick from! Welcome to Fairfield. GIVE THEM A TRY - - - you'll come back for MORE! Friendly staff.

Thomas Cherian

Real authentic and unique Indian food like the taste of my mom's food I had since I left India 40 years ago. I have been to indian restaurants in United States and Canada but never had this great food anywhere except this place. The duck curry was the real taste of "Kuttanaden curry", which fulfilled my taste buds. I will recommend this place to anybody who never tried 'real' indian food before. Kudos to the chefs and friendly servers.

suprabh bajpai

Amazing food! Service was slow but the food makes up for everything!

Maggie Bishop

Great food, big portions, great service. Atmosphere is decent.

Felicity Brewer

It's very reasonably priced and the service is good. They also have really great food. I've been here at least 5 times and ordered different things each time. It's always been delicious. I haven't tried anything other than the Indian food yet. The lunch buffet comes with naan and a ton of vegetarian and meat dishes to choose from.

Chris Lee

Atypical fare. We had the rack of lamb and the red snapper. Both were cooked well and served with a nice spread of sides.

Shelby Armitage

Delicious food, very friendly staff, good prices. We went there for dinner two nights in a row! It was quite busy both Saturday and Sunday evenings but our party of two was able to get in both times. Probably best to call ahead for larger groups.

Amelia Bailey

Slower service when busy but absolutely delicious food. Ordered veg samosa, garlic naan, and lamb curry - all exceeded expectations.

Andrew Sharp

Very good Indian food. Some dishes were spicier than I had expected, but I am pretty sensitive to that. Server was great and had a good time.

Richard Jackson

Authentic indian food. A little slow on refills at peak times. Delicious offerings

Rose Andrew

Excellent eating experience.. from walking in the door and being greeted by employee. Meal was served hot and excellent taste. Server was very friendly and helpful.

Poornima Chetan

Nice Buffet...Good food

Naina Sarkar

Food is good and service is quite prompt Highly recommend their special chicken biryani, chicken muglai, and samosa chat.

Vivek Kirloskar

Very nice menu, testy food and a great place to eat

sanchari kundu

Mango lassi, south indian food and hell lot of indian street foods available. Wonderful place to hangout if you are missing Indian foods in USA. Only I wish if they had panipuri to their menu.

Hindhuja Dhanasekaran

Typical India flavors. Good ambience and service.

Alan Werner

Great presentation, great dessert selection, plenty of fresh salads to choose from, fantastic Indian dishes with not too much spice, reasonably priced along with great service. Don't hesitate to try this place if you love Indian food.

Ravi Dhingra

Courteous service, excellent place for lunch and dinner. Always very accommodating with special requests.

Jeremy Dean

Best South Asian cuisine and awesomest buffet in Portland.

Amol Dixit

The staff was very very rude. Worst experience ever. Service was very slow. We got lamb in chicken curry. Jeera rice without jeera. Asking water was given very rude reply, saying can’t you wait for a minute(ruk na yar in Hindi) with unpleasant face. Strangely, No one did apologize for their behavior. I won’t recommend this place.

b praveen

Authentic Indian restaurant with good buffet. The variety and taste is really good. Good value for money. Good service. Normal food ordering will take time. Best is to get buffet with many options. Car parking available. Price is very reasonable. Good spot in a tourist spot.

gogada. suman

Amazing food.. but service is slow.for veggie try mutter paneer and kulcha is also good.

Ranjith Bejjenky

Worst food. The only reason they are surviving here is because south portland doesn’t have any other indian restaurants....

Naushin Sarfraz

A gem. Food, service, presentation all 5 star.

Molly Guest

The food had great flavor, spice and selection. The buffet is set up a little weird with an odd bottleneck at the good stuff. The interior could use some fresh paint and decorations We would go back fir the awesome food

Vikram Raj

So much variety in the menu!

Ms Reddy

Best in town

Shelly Ballestero

One of the best Indian restaurants I’ve been to in CT and the staff is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Anything you want they will give including where to get ingredients for making your own Indian dish, and even where to buy the dishware itself:) I especially loved the Nadan chicken curry, very tasty.

Srinivasan Mohanavelu

Great restaurant! Food was amazing and the staff was really friendly. Will definitely return

Tom Willis

This place is authentic and has a very friendly staff. There are very fresh and unusual food selections on the buffet bar and the menu has hard to find food finds.

pavan m r

Food was very tasty. Whoever Vasista Portland this is the place for perfect food

Geetanjali Bhagwani

Good quality food.

mohammed mansour

Excellent, authentic Indian food, with a fantastic wait staff and owners! Welcome to the neighborhood!

mathew a

best indian around.

Eleanor Angerame

You cannot beat their buffet. The place was humming when I brought my mom for her birthday for our first time there and now I know why - a full buffet of sweets and a multitude of savory dishes with a comfortable dining room and super kind staff. Super affordable as well for some of the best Indian food in the area!

Carlos Vigil

Lunch buffet is amazing value and introduction to Indian cuisine !

Sarah Fennessey

The best Indian food in the Portland area. Go to their lunch buffet on the weekends, it's a great spread.

Toben Cooney-Callnan

Best buffet around!

Pra Baj

My favorite Indian place in Maine.

Gregory Spatz

The best Indian food I've had in Portland, hands down. Actually, some of the best Indian food I've ever had, period. Innovative menu with some house specialties to die for and all the usual favorites done to perfection. Highly highly recommended.

Abdallah Alshehri

This place is awesome. Chicken bariany and masala was great and fair price. They've perfect staff. Get there early after 11 AM and 5 PM to avoid long lines.

Rajeev Chennattu

Stopped in for lunch with my wife and son. Good food and ambiance. A much needed quality Indian cuisine on Blackrock Turnpike corridor

manasa C R

Buffet is AWESOME!

Puela Junior Alexandre

Love their food.

HEMANT ATHAVIA

Good Authentic Indian Food.

Tanya Prof. Organizer

I was looking for vegetarian restaurant in Portland and came across taj Indian cuisine. OMG I love this place. The owners are very nice, his mum cooks all the food and it was fantastic! We went back 2 days later on Friday night and they were packed! We had to wait about 1/2hr for a table and about the same amount of time for our food. But it was with the wait! I was heading back to Vegas the next day and this place is 7 mins from the airport and so we went back again Saturday for lunch. It was busy and they had a buffet. Once again the food was exceptional. I will definitely go back whenever I'm in Portland.

Gowthamy Prasanna

One of the best Indian restaurant. Place is small, so waiting time will be long, but it's worth spending. First come first serve, no reservation. Delicious food, taste and quality excellent. Staffs were nice and patience in handling customers.

Simon Allentuch

One of the best Indian restaurants in Connecticut

Sameeta Karekar

The food was really amazing and so was the service . Everyone was so polite and accommodating. Loved everything we ordered . Deserts were really good. Made my day .

Orlando Estrella

Food was incredible. Drinks a little too strong. But over all great place.

Debbie Broderick

We had lunch at their buffet on December 26, and loved it. The place was thriving and busy with activity. Their food is scrumptious, as well as well laid out and labeled. A wonderful, friendly dining experience, and heartening to see how many patrons were also enjoying the same vibe.

Imran Husain

They should extend lunch to 3:00, that's my only concern

heyta mestry

This place is heaven for Indian Food Lovers. They have amazing Indian food Cuisine with buffet system which is the best. The staff working there is cool, with losts of patience and amazing attitude. I have personally tried the Tandoori Chicken and its the best anyone can have. And the desserts like cherry on the cake just the way it should be. Definitely the top and 1st recommendation for good and hygienic food. LOVE LOVE LOVE

Shawn McNutt

Good portion size and very attentive service at a reasonable price.

Jordan Zoretic

Great lunch buffet!

ashish rai

Buffet is awesome. Mutton and chicken curry both are very tasty.

Carmello Bilotti

This place is by far the best Indian food that I’ve ever had. The food is mouthwatering and is so good you always want more, and the waitstaff are very friendly and kind. I recommend the Mango Lassi, Samosa Chaat, Chicken Biryani, or the Chicken Tikka Masala. And you HAVE to get a side of their naan, it is perfection. They sometimes are slow, but for the most part it is very fast and if you are in a rush they will honor that. It gets really busy some days, so be sure to come in early! 100000000/5 would be my rating if it was an option.

James Delsie

Great vegan and gluten-free options. Staff was very attentive and accommodating.

Ranjit Makam

Small cozy restaurant with great ambience and customer service. Weekend buffet was worth all the money spent. Very tasty food served with a smile. Make sure to wait for few mins as the place gets crowded. Nice parking place and sit out during summer. Definitely recommend this place.

Lara da Costa

Love the food. Good variety of hot foods and salads. And don't forget the desserts. Good service too.

Markg Epstein

We've been here several times and have always enjoyed the wide variety of excellently prepared food. An attentive and pleasant staff enhances the experience. We'll definitely return.

Senthell K K

Good

Debbie Wilson

This place is sooooo yummy. I love it. Friendly service.

Tamara Wick

Best Indian food, bacground music is soothing, plenty of parking. Most of all best service. Will go back for sure.

Mike Vecc

Good food at a good price. Staff very friendly. Definitely will be back again.

Crisleer Belandn

Good healthy food options, but unfortunately, the kids didn't like it although me and the hubby did.

kirtesh wagulde

OK ok food. Not worth the try

Kunal Katdare

We Ordered food at 7pm. The appetizers and entree arrived at 7:30ish but the roti arrived at 8:10pm. So for more than 35 mins we were just staring at the main course with no roti. The waiter and the manager were ignoring us the WHOLE time. People who ordered their Naan after us were being served. And the food taste is PATHETIC. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THIS RESTAURANT CLAIMS TO SERVE INDIAN CUISINE!! The manager sent a lady to apologize for the delay and just stood by his desk the whole time. POOR SERVICE AND FOOD QUALITY. NOT VISITING THIS PLACE AGAIN.

Greg Smith

Good food, but REALLY slow. Placed an order at noon for a 5pm pickup. When I arrived at 5:05 the order wasn’t ready. Finally got the food at 6pm....very disappointing.

Anil Singh

Awesome local Indian spot. Service is great, i've stopped by for the lunch buffet each time i've been in portland and the food is always fantastic. You might have to wait a while for a table depending what time you come but the wait is well worth it. Naan may also take a while if the place is packed, but oh is it so warm and good.

Robert Sanchez

Great food and friendly atmosphere!

Parag Patel

Love this place! Lunch or dinner you cant go wrong!!

Jessica Patton

Delicious food, reasonable prices, family-friendly. We all got the buffet, which was hot and fresh and had a good variety of veg and meat options, but the menu looked great too. Next time!

Jay Rajani

Great buffet and good selection of items at a reasonable price.

Taylor Goble

Great food, nice staff.

Parker Murphy

I love their Naan bread. Staff is friendly and helpful. Sai is the homie!

Iharika Adhikari

Expensive and really bad food! We were very hungry and ordered like 6-7 dishes for 4 people. Food came after 50 mins of ordering. Goat biryani was not a biryani but rice mixed with curry. Chicken biryani was rice mixed with a chicken appetiser and was called taj special biryani. The tandoori chicken was bland and tasteless in spite of telling we wanted spicy food. The prawn fry was nothing like a fry, so we asked to refry it and it was tasteless! Extremely disappointing! Any South Indians expecting something nice, please don’t!

Nancy Nelson

This place has excellent Indian food and service. Highly recommend, and even better they will sub coconut milk for dairy on request for us vegans!

Tang Enterprises

Very good and attentive service, food was excellent, atmosphere was quiet.

Rishi Karecha

Regular Indian food with homely taste. But the Manchurian was good.

Jürgen Fischer

Great food, pricy but so good.

Wendy ThatcherHall

We went to Taj today for the buffet. Don’t miss it! Great dining experience. The food was over the top excellent. Wish we lived closer. We will be in Portland next week and will definitely be at Taj for lunch!

Joy Herbst

Delicious food! So thrilled that this restaurant is here. And they deliver!

Gunasekar Chigarapalli

Awesome....!!! I go there whenever I am Portland. One of the best Indian restaurants I have visited in Unites States....

Mohan Kumar

I liked them. For sure I'll come again

Lorien Renaud

Absolutely delicious!

Paul Stoddard

Marsala dosa appetizer was excellent

Matt DeLuzio

Placed a $70 order for delivery at 6:30 pm on a Saturday night. Restaurant is located 6.1 miles from my location. Per both Google Maps and Waze it should have been a 12 -14 minute drive. Was told that the food would be delivered in 45 min. 7:30 pm rolls around and no food has arrived. I decided to give the driver an extra 10 min until 7:40 pm, still nothing. So I called the restaurant at 7:40 and was told that the driver left 10 min ago (7:30 pm) and should arrive shortly. Another 20 minutes passed and still no food, so I called back a second time (now 8:00 pm). I then spoke to a different waiter and was told that the driver left 10 min ago. When I called him out on the lie, he then apologized. I asked for him to call the driver to find out what was going on and where he was. 10 more minutes passed and still no food so I called back a third time (now 8:10). This time I spoke to the manager (he identified himself as such after I asked to speak to one). He proceeded to tell me tat the driver had left ~15 min ago. When I called him out on that lie, he too apologized. I then asked tat something be done about the price of the order since it was now nearly an hour late. He had the decency to refund the price. Th food FINALLY arrived at 8:34 pm, more tan an hour and fifteen minutes after it was supposed to arrive. The food itself was average in quality and lukewarm. I will not be purchasing from this restaurant again, and I will be encouraging my friends and co-workers to get their Indian food elsewhere as well!

Savitha Vasu

One of the best Biryanis I ever had.

Tammyjwatson Watson

So good the food is always amazing.

C Driver

Anithra Sadhu

Everything we had today was great!

UBKarenlar

Their food is always delicious and amazing, and all of the employees are so kind!

Degen4life

Great food and experience. Best lunch spot near the mall. Try to go at least every couple of weeks. Great experience and a must try even though it buffet style, the food is top notch and great service!

Popeye Kahn

For the most part I love Indian cuisine but this place just doesn't really measure up. I found the buffet food to be bland and over the top meaty.

Hudson Adams

From the authentic aromas and taste of the currys to the savory pillow soft samosas this is a must try. Even just the flavor bang for the vegetarian options makes it a must. Treat yo self.

pradeep joshi

Good ambiance and Americanized Indian test. Would love a little more spicy.

Lps

What a gem of a find delicious Buffet plenty of food very very nice wait staff very reasonable prices

Shashwat K

Very bad experience, was there with family who was travelling from India,. My father is handicapped they had no access for him as well as the guys working there rudely behaved with my sisters. They asked us to wait 30 minutes and after waiting they gave our table to someone else, then said more 30 minutes.

Lauren Schuyler Giddings

Good food and very friendly service!

Zachary Wildes

The absolute best. Better than what we got while actually IN India. I can't stay away for more than a week!

Jon Burger

$15 per person for a great selection of delicious food!

Carolyn Snell

Delicious!

My wife and I mourn the loss of 6th Street in NYC as Indian Food Row, but that doesn't stop us from trying different sub-continental restaurants wherever we travel in the US, From Maine to New Orleans, from Florida to Seattle. This restaurant, Taj Indian Cuisine, is now our favorite. I hope this review tilts you towards giving this place a try. :-)

One of the best but very expensive $$$$$..

Joey Zeng

Came for dinner, and it was delicious. Some of the best Indian food I've had. Portion sizes were just right, and entrees were super filling. Highly recommend the Gobi Manchurian... So crispy

Wilson Braz

Food was amazing! Portions were large. Great date night!

Taco MacDonald

This place is amazing and food was delicious. Staff was very friendly. My favorite restaurant in Maine and I highly recommend it.

Asif Siddique

Happy to had such a nice restaurant. Food was really tasty. We asked them if the foods are halal. They replied"Yes". There was no sign of "Halal Food" anywhere of the restaurant. So I ordered fish with Bashmoti rice which was one of the awesome fish curry I have ever had.

Deva Dathan Menon

Great food and service. Highly recommended.

Susan Schindler

Would have rated them higher, but this is a restaurant where everything is spicy, even dishes that shouldn't be and even if you ask for your food mild (though they will tone it down somewhat). Nice lunch buffet, but again, you must be able to deal with the heat.

Michelle Rose

Best Indian Restaurant in Connecticut

Christopher Burton

Butter Chicken is amazing! Lunch buffet can be busy with short waits for seating, but most of the time table is available with a short or no wait.

Holly Burton

This is the best Indian restuarant I've ever been to. They have an amazing selection and it's all so fresh. The staff are equally amazing, accommodating and friendly.

Nicole L. Stepan

My favorite Indian restaurant! Food is always great and the staff has always been wonderful and inviting. They also have a great lunch buffet too.

Rohit Akole

Good food. Good service.

Venkatapavani Pallavi Punugu

Yummy food served in right quantity. Clean place and affordable food pricing.

milan maharjan

Expensive as compared to other indian restaurants. Nice interior, excellent food.

Varvara Boruch

Best Samosas in the local area (worth the higher price) the food is superb as well. We have never been disappointed with the quality of the food here.

Rishikesh Veerappan

Good service and brings back the reminiscences of home food

E J

abd rahaf

Bad guys and Waiting for a long time and very bad service very bad restaurant

mark oreta

Awesome buffet go on the weekends at lunch!

Brian Havanich

Chicken tikki masala was amazing. Generous portion of garlic naan. The lamb vindaloo was a tad on the spicy side but our server brought us some yogurt sauce to cut the spice down. Overall a great experience, would come back again.

Nels N

The best Indian food in town. Amazing portions.

Ambuj Shukla

I just loved it.. This place is really good..

Rayon susan koshy

Got to say they have very nice customer service and good food.. they have tried their best to bring the Indian taste in the food

Dylan Agosta

Went for the lunch buffet, place was packed!! Definitely tasty but could be better about keeping the buffet stacked. Naan for the table helps make up for it.

manav gupta

Excellent food with best drinks u can order with reasonable rate

Alison Larocca

This place is amazing and delicious. Easily the best Indian buffet I’ve ever gone to. Atmosphere is relaxing and uplifting. Staff are friendly and courteous.

Rich Schlegel

Amazing looking buffet, I couldn't try it because I was on duty delivering doordash. The food looked and smelled amazing some of the best presentation I have seen. Can't wait to come back to try the buffet.

Nikhil Patil

Went here twice back to back weekends. Food is great. Both vegetarian and non-vegetarian options were perfect.

Josyl Barchue

A wonderful restaurant. My family and I come here at least once a week, and it is great for a date night as well. The staff is extremely and genuinely friendly, all of the food is spectacular, and you can just feel how much pride everyone here takes in both the food and the service. The other day the manager took the time to show me how to properly construct a Bhel Puri during a busy lunch buffet, and he did so in a very kind way, with no condescension, as he was happily sharing a part of his culture purely for my benefit and enjoyment. The goat pepper fry is particularly out of this world, and I have yet to try anything on the menu that didn't amaze my taste buds. The lunch buffet is always a large variety of excellent dishes, which are freshly prepared and never allowed to sit out too long. The value for the dollar is exceptional. The portions are large, and the staff are more than happy to send you home with very carefully packed leftovers and sometimes they throw in a little extra naan or dessert. Takeout is always very thoughtfully packed and they will perfectly accommodate and time your order to your arrival if you plan to pick up later on, so your food is never just sitting there. Go here, often, and you will always be glad you did.

Rick Nolette

Its a buffet so the food quality usually suffers at buffets but it was a nice experience

robert brykted

This place is excellent the food is by far the best Indian food I've had in the states I highly recommend it.

Raymond McKenney II

All of the food during the buffet was hot, fresh, delicious and frankly amazing! Had a really nice atmosphere and everyone was very nice and helpful!

Goldie Naanga

Less quantity and over charging

Kyla Hershey-Wilson

This is possibly my favorite restaurant, and certainly my favorite for the price. With a wider variety than most Indian restaurants and many clearly marked options for my gluten-free friends, it would be very hard to leave unsatisfied.

John Durham

I cannot say enough about how much I love this restaurant. The space is cozy and warm, the wait staff is friendly and attentive and not to bury the lead, but it's some of the best tasting Indian food I've ever had!

Michael Stickney

Great buffet. A favorite place to eat when in town.

aditi Dev

Good food.. and reasonably priced.

Madhu VS

Friendly people. Almost homemade food tastes. Not a bad eat any day.

Sean Reynolds

Oustanding experience! Can't say it any better than the posts before mine. Generous portions with tremendous food and equally amazing service. The Taj Snapper and Lamb Vindaloo were great! Will definetly be going back (excited to try the lunch buffet)!!!

July George

All the good reviews that I have read about this property are true. The friendliness of the staff seems genuine. "Excellent food, great experience, very good service and ambiance."

ratuse

The food here is nothing short of amazing, and if you show up for the lunch buffet, you can eat as much of that amazing as you want! By far hands down one of my favorite restaurants of all time!

Pankaj Nepal

Great indian buffet in reasonable price!!!

Eric Simms

Great food, good price.

Meenusha Siva

Food was yummy.But they took long time after order has taken. I would recommend this.we ordered chicken briyani, veg Noodles,Naan, panned gravy, chicken gravy,everything was delicious and kids also can eat all the items spice level also medium for everyone.

Shankaran Vaidyanathan

Service a bit slower but food was reasonably good.

Nicola Barrett

Love, love, love this restaurant!!

abdul khawaja

Decent food

pooja weller

Fresh food, clean atmosphere!

Hina Garg

We did the lunch buffet, which had limited vegetarian options. Only the vada sambhar from the entire buffet was tasty. All other options were quite bland, many even half-cooked. I wouldn’t visit again, especially for the buffet.

Alexander Forrest

An unassuming restaurant with amazing food.

Mercy Pavunny

Excellent food, outstanding experience with my family. Great service & nice people.

Saranya Thirumoorthy

The buffet food is good and is replaced often. The service is decent and desserts are always good. Price is around...

Ed Martin

Taj is our favorite restaurant in the area. The food is always delicious and the staff is friendly.

_ DEVSTER _

I loved my dinner,,, everything about the meal was unique and tasty. Do not pass up on the licorice and fennel seed on the way out!

jonathan r. werner

We’ve lived in Philadelphia, New York, New Haven and Boston and we would travel to South Portland from any of them plus another 500 miles if necessary to get a Taj dinner. We are weekly customers and every meal is as good or better than the one before. An extraordinary family that makes and serves magnificent food.

Mike Twitchell

Great place to grab a quick meal that isn't fast food.

Noelle Cleary

Ordered veg samosas, mulligatawny soup, chicken tikka, chicken tikka masala and naan. Eveything was really delicious, full of flavor, and generously portioned. Highly recommend -- the best indian in the area. We will be back.

Mona Mitri

LOVE the place! Must try. Appetizers and main dishes were excellent and full of flavors. Generous portion and outstanding service. Very fresh. Everything we tried was WOW. Can't wait to come back! Highly recommend!

Nicole G

Loved the lamb tikki masala, aloo mateer, the naan, ildi, EVERYTHING! All dishes tasted fresh, well-balanced, and so very yummy. I will definitely go back again. The atmosphere was quiet, staff were friendly and attentive. Menu was marked by vegetarian, gluten free, and they have coconut milk alternatives for dairy. They have a lunch buffet that looked great, too.

Uday Kiran

It’s been quite a while I am writing a review for a restaurant. This restaurant literally impressed me in all aspects-Hospitality, Ambience and Food. The staff was so impressive they were so polite and friendly. The ambience was so pleasant and the soothing music makes you feel so vibrant. Coming to food, my tastebuds satiated their hunger with their varieties of food and their delicious sweets made my tastebuds sparkling with ecstasy. I Highly recommend this restaurant for everyone.

Meredith Ressi

One of our favorite places in the area! Delicious food, always fresh, great service.

Ralph Valente

Great food. Have been there three times

Michael Newsom

Food is great and the gang of men working are sweet and attentive

Ainsworth Kohler

Thee place to go for Indian cuisine in the Portland area.

Rajeev

Great food and great staff. Most of items are we ordered were very delicious and tastes authtentic. Lot of Kerala food on the menu. The fish items we ordered were cooked really well. Whole wheat roti is a must. Aviyal if available is must try item. Great place overall!

Parimal Patel

Great food lots of verity for buffets. But very limited space in cold/rainy weather.

Bible Ruminator

I eat here fairly often and always enjoy it but if you really want to have the best food of your whole life then you need to go on the weekend. It cost I think $2 more but it has much better variety and better dishes. You won't go hungry during the week because it's a buffet and you know there's plenty of good stuff but on the weekend it's just out of this world. And of course the staff is very nice place is clean and so on.

Amelia Rose

I don't know if it's me or if it's the food but I live this place. Me and my dad go there when ever we get the chance. Definitely recommend this for lunch time cause it's a buffet at that time and you can make your own plate. But of you want to have a nice order from menu meal. Go Durning dinner time and grab a couple plates of things. Absolutely delicious.

Pizzancurls

Most delicious Indian food I have ever had. No where else in the area even compares.

Lauren Sieranski

the owner explained to me that he has been open for just 6 weeks, and let me tell you all this place is phenomenal! I've recently become vegetarian and this spot has so many amazing options. I ordered the chick pea salad and the vegetable samosa. Everything was great from the welcoming service to the food and drinks. Very clean place. Will be retuning very soon!!

ranjeet pokharel

Was there for graduation lunch. Servers were rude. Overall bad experience.

Adi Dutt

Follow up to review from 3 months ago: Things have gone from bad to worse with this restaurant: Have been to this restaurant a few times now for their buffet and the food is always cold on weekdays. I recently went there with a few co-workers and it was the same thing again. On being asked for feedback, in an extremely polite manner, we mentioned that the food was cold and the server completely lost it. What ensued is something that I have never experience before in my life where the server (I did not catch his name but he mentioned that he is of Bangladeshi Origin) was extremely rude, aggressive in his body language and at time we felt like he was threatening us physically. When the girl that was with us asked him to lower his voice and act in a civilized manner, he proceeded to threaten her by screaming at her and stating that "What do you want me to do touch your feet"...extremely bizarre. Realizing that this individual and the situation were getting completely out of control, we repeatedly asked for the check, the waiter out of hell did not allow us to pay and eventually we had to leave with him still hurling insults at us. The chef followed us out of the restaurant and he had a better appreciation for our concerns and the servers indiscretions. Beware!! Based on what I have heard from my Indian friends and now experienced first hand, if you are Indian or have Indian ethnicity and you choose to go this restaurant, you will be discriminated against and insulted!!!!!! and served cold perhaps stale food as well. Overall an extremely harrowing and unpleasant experience!!!!! Review from 3 months ago, below: Have always had a bad experience. Took people from work for Lunch buffet twice and the food was cold on both occasions. Have ordered dinner a few times and the chicken is hard almost feels like it has been reheated from the previous day. It is rather expensive compared to other Indian restaurants so I was hoping that the least they could do is serve quality meat. Very disappointed, will not be ordering again.

irshaan sk

Was craving for home food since long time, then tried this restaurant. Its close to authentic indian food in here . Very friendly staff. Affordable prices . Try it to love it.

Vignesh lal

Finger licking good and amazing ambience. It’s a good place to have a treat with your friends. Service was polite and good. Enough menu items for you all to try out new items. Visit once and you will like it too.

Felicia

Just had a wonderful dinner with my family here. The food was amazing and the staff are very friendly and attentive. We will definitely be coming back for more!

Tia Collins

Everything was incredible the food, the atmosphere, the staff. Highly recommended

C Gomez

Super fresh vegetables and delicious tandoori chicken. Excellent naan bread!

Maryam Husain

It's a cute spot in South Portland... however.. the food was bland. I ordered a spicy veg biryani and it tasted like nothing. Then again I am of Indian origin so my standards for Indian food are high.... I would call this Indian inspired with mild taste. Go to Boston or NYC for some real flavor.

aizza abrahim

Nice food .. n good options for vegetarians .. authentic Indian food ... food is fresh n yummy .. on a weekday service is delayed otherwise it's good .. Try visiting on weekends for more options ..

varun dhyani

Great Indian

Chandru Basavaraju

One of the best lamb/mutton biryani across US :)

Viknes Balasubramanee

The staff were very nice and friendly, food was amazing and the price was extremely reasonable. Would love to come here again!

Mohammed Alhabshan

Food not so warm and there is no a lot kind of food.

Dylan Gardner

Seriously fresh Indian food

Paul Bradbury

I enjoy the lunch buffet which provides a good sampling of Indian cuisine.

Destiny Guzman

Great service, very polite and attentive & delicious flavorful Indian cuisine! Definitely would come back! Big portions would recommend coming on a empty stomach!!

manish babaria

Just the perfect Indian food here in Fairfield. Good atmosphere and great service. (specially Sam)

Abhishek Master

We had the lunch buffet and it was absolutely brilliant. What makes this place a 5 star rating for me is the homely environment and a great taste of the food items I tried. I don't think I have ever had a better coconut chutney than the one I had over here. Must try if you are in Portland.

amruta shinde

Awesome chiken tikka and dal makhni.

Paul Hogan

Great buffet at a good price. Food was hot and tasty. Friendly staff

Eric Maxham

My favorite Indian restaurant. Lots of choices, all delicious! The lunch buffet is great too.

dhaneesh james

It was amazing experience with front guys ....and nice time ever had in USA .great job guys

Rory Benjamin

I really don't have a whole lot of positive things to say about this restaurant. We ordered naan as part of our meal, and were told multiple times by the waiter that the naan part of the order would be delayed. It was only at the very end of the meal that we were told that the oven was broken. No apologies or explanations were given beyond this. Adding insult to injury were the severe stomach issues I suffered as a result of eating this food.

Peter Anderson

Great food! We love doing take-out and my toddler orders the kid noodles and mango lassi. The coconut naan is wonderful.

MARIA G

Amazing food, kind and friendly people!

Ryan Lallkissoon

Great food! Can't wait to visit again.

Alish Vijay

Better food than many other Indian restaurants

Holly Stires

The food here is delicious and so is the mango lassi! The service we had was also great.

YAZZ

This place is absoutely delicious and the staff is super friendly. I recommend coming here if youre in the mood for Indian!

Dustin Mandre

Love the vegan menu and how knowledgeable the staff is. Food was delicious and the atmosphere was quaint. Would recommend to anyone craving Indian cuisine!

Meghan Aslanian

Amazing service and great food. A little pricey, but you really get what you pay for. Tikka masala is deliciously creamy and chicken was very tender (cooked perfectly). Lamb vindaloo was not for the faint of heart (spicy) but sooooo good! Wonderful Naan and veggie samosas were on point. All in all LEGIT Indian cuisine. Only visiting the area, but if I lived here I would definitely be a regular. Well done Taj :)

Kevin Pottackal

Amazing food catered by a wondeful staff!! Watch out Indian restaurants in Fairfield county, there's a new chef in town!

Bryan Hermansdorfer

Wonderful variety of interesting healthy food. Very pleasant staff. I'll be back!

Timothy Ward

Fantastic meal and great service, friendly and inviting. Nice atmosphere. We will be back.

Alexander Merrill

Greater Portland's best Indian restaurant by quite a wide margin.

Shraddha Bansode

Service was sooooooooooooo slow

Edmund Bassick

Really liked it. Live in Fairfield and it's great.

Julie C

Great food, great service, lunch buffet is $10 and includes sever vegetarian and meat options as well as dessert and naan. Will definitely go back.

Nancy Klosteridis

THIS IS THE BEST INDIAN RESTAURANT IN MAINE.

Jasmine Baker

Loved this place! Went with friends for lunch during the all-you-can-eat buffet special and was certainly impressed. The jeera aloo and butter chicken sauce over rice had me going back for seconds. Also some of the fluffiest, warmest naan I’ve had to date!

Kyle Spencer

First ever Indian food experience. Was not disappointed. Amazing food, very fresh .Friendly staff and roomy tables. Highly recommended.

Ashesh Bakshi

Weekend lunch buffet food was good, today including a couple of South Indian veggies one doesn't often see in the States. Good variety for both veg and non veg, as other reviewers have noted. However, Coromandel in Southport has better flavors and it took thirty minutes after asking for the check in an empty restaurant to get out.
