My first time here & I'm amazed! The owner & staff were so pleasant. The food was great , authentic and made fresh to order. Definitely worth the drive.. I'll be going back soon. Thank you all for the great birthday wishes,song etc. I will say this , if you are on a budget this is not the place for you unfortunately.
I have been to many indian restaurans in Arizona and found that Taj Mahal restaurant is the best compared to all others. Real authentic indian taste of food was served here. All food served to us was fresh and super delicious.
Worst excuse for Indian food I have ever had. Completely overpriced. Food was cold. Horrible experience.
