Taj Mahal Indian Cuisine Inc – A Revisit After Two Years

I first tried Taj Mahal Indian Cuisine nearly two years ago, and at the time, the food didn’t meet my expectations. However, we recently decided to give it another try—this time, we went close to their closing hours, so I wasn’t expecting the food to be fresh. To my surprise, several items exceeded expectations.

Samosa Chaat – 8/10
The samosa was fresh, and the toppings were crispy and well-balanced. A flavorful and satisfying start to the meal.

Biryani – 10/10
This was one of the best biryanis I’ve had in South Florida. The portion size was generous, and the dish was rich in tangy, aromatic spices. It was presented beautifully and packed with flavor. Highly recommended!

Nuggets and Fries – 7/10
The fries were done in a desi style—spicy, fresh, and crispy. A good choice for kids or those wanting a milder option.

Tikka/BBQ – 4/10
While the spices were well-marinated into the meat, it wasn’t cooked thoroughly. The color was overly red, which detracted from the appeal. However, the sizzler platter was served with a dramatic flair, and the sizzling sound added a delightful sensory touch.

Keema Naan – 4/10
This was underwhelming. The keema didn’t seem to be cooked separately and lacked the usual aromatic ingredients like onions or spices. The layer of meat was extremely thin and flavorless.

Malai Kabab (aka Malai Boti) – 8/10
This isn’t your typical minced seekh-style kabab—it’s more of a malai boti made from tender chicken breast pieces. Soft, juicy, and marinated to perfection. Great flavor, and it traveled well. Good presentation for a home order too.

Chicken Samosa – 10/10
Piping hot, perfectly spicy, and freshly fried—these samosas were a total knockout. The filling had just the right kick, and the crust was flaky and golden. You rarely get this level of freshness with delivery. A must-try if you’re craving a crunchy, flavorful starter.

Rasmalai Dessert – 10/10
Absolutely delightful! The plate came with four soft pieces soaked in sweet milk and topped with fresh nuts. The sweetness was perfectly balanced—not too overpowering.

Important Note:
I noticed that the restaurant’s medium spice level is significantly spicier than what’s considered “medium” at mainstream chains like KFC or Pizza Hut in South Florida. If you’re not accustomed to South Asian spice levels, I would recommend ordering your food mild.

This visit was a mix of highs and lows, but the biryani and dessert alone made it a memorable experience. Definitely worth a visit if you’re craving bold, flavorful South Asian cuisine.
This is not a fancy place but some items are delicious!!!

Stopped at Taj Mahal Restaurant for lunch after picking up family in Miami, and I’m really glad we did. Like a few others mentioned, I was a bit unsure when we first walked in — the place was empty — but we were greeted by a very friendly gentleman who took our order.

We went with some classics: garlic naan, chicken tikka masala, chicken biryani, and chicken korma (which a few reviews raved about). I have to say — it truly was some of the best Indian food I’ve had in a long time. Every dish was cooked perfectly and packed with flavor. The whole family enjoyed the meal.

I’ll definitely stop by again next time I’m in the area. Great food and genuinely warm service. Highly recommend if you’re nearby!

Beautiful place to eat and spend time with your family and friends

We’re from out of town and decided to eat at Taj Mahal instead of Aroma. The food and service was excellent. We will be back!

Food was great. Service was even better. Biryani is a must. Kulfi made in house.

Amazing food!
Great atmosphere and best of all, Mitneau!
Would come back just for him. He was so attentive and nice. Couldn’t ask for better

Birani good and chicken tandoori so good.

Taj Mahal indian restaurant is a delicious surprise. We walked in and the restaurant was empty. We were very hesitant, but within the few minutes of sitting/ordering, almost 20 ppl came in for orders/pickup. We received our food and our dishes were outstanding!!! We eat at a lot of restaurants on the wknd, and will gladly add this to our list. Fresh food, delicious flavor, everyone ate from age 5 to age 55. Thanks for an easy indian dinner choice out.

Bonus, there is an Indian grocery next door!! Win win to also get indian snacks and stock up on spices.

Appetizer: Dosa bites
Cheesy Naan

Probably the worst service and food I’ve had in a while. Ordered Chicken Biryani, Garlic Naan and Malai Kofta. None of them was great. The Serb ie was pathetic - and there was hardly 2 people in the restaurant. Not sure how worse it can get
