Tajmahal - Cape Town Central

Best food ever i had al over the word .... UK , CANADA BUT BEST BEST CAPE TOWN TAJ MAHAL HOUT BAY ......

We have eaten at the Taj Mahal several times over the years. The restaurant itself used to be bigger but has been reduced in size. We enjoy their curry very much. My husband enjoys their soup , but I don’t really like it. But I do love their Samoosas. We always have an enjoyable time at this restaurant . What is a bit of a problem is parking. The customers used to park across the road but since then a fence has been erected so that parking is now out of the question.

We walk in and immediately we are welcomed by the owner whose Indian food has fed the Houtbay community and surrounding areas for the past 12 years. The service is slower than expected but the food is amazing. Make sure to book in advance as the do get extremely busy from about 3pm to 8pm. And do engage with the owner on the Indian and Pakistani culture and history, he loves mingling with the Guests. Try the samosas and an Indian type of chilli bite made with potato d onions and spices and fried to perfection. Parking could be tricky on a weekend.

Wow, amazing food. Had the Crayfish Curry (Hot) and it has so much flavor and was just the right amount. Tried the butter Naan instead of rice and wasn't disappointed, the Naan was fresh and delicious. The atmosphere is relaxed and the staff and manager are very friendly and efficient. Definitely visit the Taj Mahal again soon.. Russel is an amazing host, thank you to everyone.

Celebrated my Moms 80th at TajMahal. First time for us and we were pleasantly surprised. Food was good and the host excellent. Thank you for making my Moms 80th memorable!
