Taj Mahal Cuisine of India

Spectacular meal. Everything was spiced perfectly just the way we ordered. The price was very fair. I used to think Fresno had the best tasting Indian cuisine, but tonight showed me that Bakersfield indeed has stepped up a notch with Royal Taj. Will return soon.

Tea served in paper cups. Asked twice for water and still none. Place was empty for lunch, warning sign. Only had one menu available for a party of four. No buffet anymore. Interior is a joke. Very ghetto inside. Ceiling vents haven been cleaned since 1972.First 2 peoples dish came out then the other 2 came out 30 min later. And the order still didn't all make it here. This place is an absolute joke.Server never came back after leaving the plates.Never getting dragged here again I hope!

I absolutely love Indian food and Taj serves good food. The service was great and fast. It was shockingly empty for a Saturday night for dinner.

I have to say how disappointed I was with my experience here. I was so excited to try this place out because of all the positive reviews. That being said we went on a Saturday afternoon around 1:30 pm so plenty of time for the buffet sadly they didn’t have much food and most of it was very dry and had no flavor . The customer service was horrible they weren’t rude they just didn’t show and interest we felt like we were and inconvenience all while the restaurant was empty besides on other table. I won’t be coming back I would recommend New Taj Palace on Ming they’re food is better but same issue with service.

Worst place for food. We stopped here while going to LA and tasted everything in buffet and nothing was worth consuming. The Rice were dry, the Raita were smelly due to old ingredients. The Kheer was yucky. Curries were disappointing too. The worst was the lady serving, so much of attitude. We had 2 kids 2 and a 4 year old. The 2 year old did not eat anything and she said she will charge for just one kid and once we were done she charged for 2 and refused to make correction. Never going to come back and recommend anything

When my boyfriend and I decided to try this place we were in love. Ate it three times in a week and a half. Few weeks ago, I ordered butter chicken and it was oily, brown, and congealed. Like there was zero tomato in the whole dish. Called to replace and they did. We thought ok no issue with one bad time. Then again today I ordered butter chicken once more with the same gross texture and taste and when I called to replace they sounded unhappy but willing. Ok no problem. The issue comes from the fact that they tried to treat me like I was uninformed about how the dish is meant to be and that this dish can come in two colors. I’m not sure how that’s the case when as far as I know it’s orange from the tomato purée. I was told the oily layer on top is because they use butter to make it so it’s just that way. I can’t imagine anyone wanting to eat separated oil and whatever else. It’s meant to be mixed into a creamy texture.I took the replacement because I wanted to just leave but it was almost just as bad as the original and tastes like nothing but oil.Any pictures you see online for this dish it’s a creamy orange color. I’ve attached a picture to show what I received. We will not be eating here again.

Service was great! I had the lunch buffet, and the food was flavorless. I was a little disappointed.???

We had a wonderful dinner! We ordered chicken jalfrezi, aloo benjan, pratha, garlic Naan, basmati rice, and raita. All was delicious. I particularly liked the aloo benjan (eggplant and potato), while my husband was delighted with the chicken. The raita was delicately spiced with cumin and cilantro, a nice, cooling dish. Everything was good. We wish lived in the area so we could come back regularly, but we do come through here now and then, so will definitely come again.

Never try tandoori fish here it’s smells very bad .

Great indian buffet place in bakersfield.Amazing and affordable authentic indian taste

Evertytime we come here it's even more delicious than the last. Everything is made so perfectly. Hands down my favorite spot for Indian food in town. Staff is very polite and welcoming. You won't be disappointed.

This is my first time trying this place out. At first i was not sure what to expect but once i started eating i was surprised! The lunch buffet was amazing! The Chicken Curry and the Yellow Rice were just right. The Naan was great both the garlic and the original. I asked to look at their dinner menu and from what I saw i am sure to return to try out their Lamb Saag and Chicken Tikka Mesala.

Staff is nice .. at buffet food was okay .. rice was dry needed to be kept covered. Other dishes was okay. Chicken was undercooked. Preparation or food arrangement was not good.

Ordered chicken chili and Kheema naan. Worst chicken I ever had. I was not cooked to the perfection.(it was hardly cooked). I haven’t tried anything else but wouldn’t recommend the chicken at least at this place.

Today i order food from uber eatsFood was really bad,naan was very hard and there was no panner in shahi pannerThis restaurant deserves 0 rating
