Description

At this popular Brooklyn restaurant, the menu stands out for its clear vegan labeling, appealing to diverse dietary preferences. Diners report mixed experiences; while some rave about exceptional dishes like garlic naan and flavorful tandoori chicken, others find certain items surprisingly bland or overly sweet. The lunch buffet is a highlight, featuring a variety of traditional Indian dishes at an affordable price, complemented by attentive service. Despite occasional inconsistencies in flavor and portion sizes, the friendly staff and charming atmosphere make it an inviting spot for both locals and visitors seeking a satisfying meal.

I loved the tofu saag and was pleased to see many other vegan options on the menu. This review was updated on July 3, 2023.

I appreciate that the restaurant clearly labels their vegan options on the menu. However, I have not been impressed with the food during my visits. One dish was bland and the other was too sweet for my taste. Despite my experience, this place seems to be popular among others and receives high ratings on Google. It may just not be to my personal liking.

I would describe this restaurant as a tourist trap. I ordered chicken tandoori wings, chicken seekh kebab, and lamb seekh kebab. The tandoori wings were delicious, earning a perfect 5 out of 5 rating. However, the chicken seekh kebab was awful, receiving a 0 out of 5 rating. It was the worst thing I have ever tasted - bland, overcooked, and inedible. The lamb seekh kebab was slightly better, earning a 1 out of 5 rating, but still lacked flavor. The mint chutney was also disappointing, as it did not taste like mint chutney at all. Overall, this restaurant is a ripoff and does not offer authentic Indian flavors.

Love it here. Recommend the Peshawari naan. The lamb and goat is tender and flavorsome. Gravies are rich but not oily. And the Taj Mahal beer is the cherry on top. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

There’s nothing authentic with this indian restaurant. Chicken tikka, and the chicken curry is the same taste as what you can get from trader joes. Way less spices and its bland for a real. Indian dish. the only good thing here was the garlic naan. thats it. Not recommended. Food: 1 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 3
