Reviews summary
Cafe Taj in McLean has been a reliable choice for many, but recent experiences suggest a decline in quality. Dishes were disappointingly overcooked, lacking in flavor, and inconsistent. Pricing seemed high for the portion sizes offered, with extra charges for basics like naan and raita sauce. Despite attentive service and a variety of menu options, the overall dining experience fell short of expectations. Some redeeming qualities were noted, such as delicious Tandoori Lamb Chops and a pleasant ambiance. While improvements are needed, Cafe Taj still has potential to regain its former appeal to loyal patrons and new visitors alike.

Cafe Taj was right across from our hotel, but Indian restaurants can be great or very mediocre. It was raining so we tried it. It was excellent! Nice variety. Great flavors! Nice martini too!ð View all feedback.
What Meda Skiles dislikes about 7spice:
I wanted to take my wife someplace different for Mother's Day. I had spent far too much money on dinner's for her birthday weeks prior. The Goal? No place generic and the meal has to be under Cafe Taj fit the bill nicely. Very, very good food, the place was fairly quiet and filled with couples at on a Sunday evening, which I thought was awesome! The staff is friendly and they make sure you have enough of everything.... View all feedback.

We ordered the two entrees...but the sauces, tasted much the same. One was ginger chicken, one was curried shrimp. Both also looked like the same sauces. We had to pay extra for the shrimp...not worth it, as portion was not small. We ordered Naan and expected a charge for that, but the raita sauce is also an extra charge. Restaurant was very empty, which is a shame. Could have been so much better. I'd like to return, but I suggest they do some menu choices that reflect different sauces.
I have tasted some of the best Indian cuisine at this restaurant.
I ate here for the first time. I am pretty knowledgeable about Indian food. I ate at dozens of other Indian restaurants. I don't remember too many of them being better than Cafe Taj. In addition to delicious food, service was wonderful Personally I loved the Chicken Tikka Masala and the Paneer dish that we tried for the first time(I think it was the Shahi Paneer). We also ordered Bread Basket, which was awesome Overall a great experience. I would love to go back sooner than later.
This Indian restaurant is excellent, with attentive staff who don't rush you. It's the perfect place to unwind after a busy day or week at work.
I absolutely loved this place. I really enjoyed my meal, it was a great mixture of delicious food, great service, generous portions and good prices. We would definitely be returning soon!!
