Taj Indian Cuisine - Merthyr Tydfil

I loved this place. And our lamb and prawns was very good, the meat is alway delicious in Taj. But unfortunately, meat samosas are much worse than a few months ago. This was my best food from them. This time samosas wasn’t crunchy. The pastry was hard and it tasted like it had been made much earlier. The filling was not seasoned and it was dry. I wil order the meat again but definitely not samosas anymore. Sad, because I was ordering food from Taj especially for samosas.

Food was tasty, hot and plentiful. Cooked to standard, not oily and full of flavour. Staff were nice and friendly . Atmosphere could use some work, but a lovely meal nevertheless

Had a delivery and food was very tasty and was piping hot when it got here,would highly recomend eating here

Wow. The Food was delicious with really wide options on the menu. The staff was friendly, and efficient the place was tidy. Would definitely recommend it to everyone visiting the area.

The Restaurant was clean and tidy and there was a nice welcome as we walked in. Usual Poppadams and accompaniments arrived, but in tiny little containers insufficient for two people. A small additional pot of Mango Chutney at £2.30 did make me chuckle, but moving on.... Starters arrived with the Chicken Pakoras good but the Garlic King prawns were served as a mushy sauce with a total of four ordinary prawns mixed in. The main courses were Chicken Tikka and Lamb Tikka Masala. The Chicken Tikka sauce had a good portion size but was so over tomato flavoured it basically tasted like Bolognese sauce. The Lamb Tikka Masala itself was a tiny portion sitting like a puddle in the container. I counted 6 small cubes of lamb that had been overcooked before being added to the Sauce. Naan breads were good. Service was polite, but they really didn't know how to present things and lay out the cutlery. Granted that on of the staff was a brand new starter and was trying his best. After plates were collected, random knives etc. we're left on the table as if the job was half done. They tried hard, but it was a bit embarrassing to watch. The manager didn't seem too worried about things. I have to say it was not the most expensive restaurant I've been to, so there was I suppose some roundabout value for money in that respect.
