On our way back from Vegas to Bay Area, we were looking for an amazing indian food place and Taj Palace was just awesome with amazing taste.

Tried this while I was close by …. Food was hit n miss , some dishes were good and some average . The salt was on the higher side. The service was slow , they brought main dishes earlier and naans came much later . Also the attitude of some staff was unfriendly. When asked to bring extra hot Chai , the server said to come inside the kitchen to drink , that was very rude and unprofessional. Only the young guy with a turban had a smiling friendly face . Hope they learn some customer satisfaction etiquettes .

I have not ever had a bad item from this menu. Lamb, Goat, Fish, tandoorI Chicken. it is all good. Garlic Naan is a must as well as the veggie pakoras. Rice Pilau is always incredible, however, this most recent time I got the cinnamon stick in this dish which did so much for the flavour. I’m always blown away by how incredible this place is.

Excellent food! Clean, comfortable restaurant. I wish I would have known about the buffet, but I called my order in for pick up. The food was delicious, wonderfully seasoned and cooked to perfection! I will definitely be returning.

the food was really good. palak paneer Shahi paneer other curries, starters were also good. lots of vegetarian options. nice naan options as. well. what was strange was that we both got full really fast, not sure if there’s something in the food that makes one not eat as much. dessert included gulab Jamun and kheer. they had various naans including butter naan garlic naan etc. price was super affordable. open until 3pm
