Taj Indian Restaurant

Taj Indian has been open for 30 years and the food is incredible! They recently remodeled and have reopened. Make sure to order the Kashmiri naan and mango lassi. Everything is made fresh and the lamb and goat are so tender.

Uncle is so friendly and the food was perfect. Naan, roti, lassi, butter chicken, chicken chettinad, everything was delicious. Highly recommend!

We love Indian food and this is absolutely the best Indian restaurant in Middle Georgia. It’s family owned and family oriented. The owner remembers us and refers to my children as his niece and nephew. The service is perfect and the food is delicious. The newly renovated interior is lovely. Don’t be scared away by the location…do yourself a favor and give Taj a try.

So glad to have found Taj Indian Restaurant. Best Indian food we’ve found in middle GA. The restaurant was really nice inside and the food was amazing! We each had platters and couldn’t believe the amount of food for the price! In addition to the food, the service was wonderful. Loved talking to the owners and hearing their story. Highly recommend you check them out!

Just amazing food! The garlic naan is to die for and by far the best in the U.S. Not only is the food tasty and amazing but, the owner took his time to sit and speak with me. This restaurant is a must go to and highly recommended!! As i travel throughout the U.S for a living this is by far the one of the best dining experiences i have had at a local family owned restaurant. Awesome hospitality and a must to dine!! Definitely will return in my travels! Thank you!! People in Macon, GA support your local family owned business!!#TajIndianRestaurant

Excellent place with delicious Indian food and warm service.

Billy’s Let’s Eat Review of Taj Indian Restaurant on January 15th, 2026

I kept reading about Taj and how everyone kept saying the food is just wonderful! So, needless to say… I had to check it out for myself! I am a HUGE fan of Indian food so my expectations are quite high.

The restaurant is located at 5033 Brookhaven Road adjacent to the Walmart. From the outside, it doesn't look like much. But, when you open the door, you're welcomed to a freshly painted super clean restaurant. It’s actually quite large! From the outside, it looks like a small place.

Fun Fact: They just reopened after being closed for 5 months.

Vibe: It's one of those places where you walk into and appreciate the aromas and feel that you just know that you're in for a treat!

So, let's eat!

What We Ordered: (there was 2 of us)

Chai = $4.99
If you don't know what Chai is, let me explain. It's a spiced black milky tea that reminds me of Christmas morning. It's sweet and creamy. A perfect way to start or end an Indian meal.

Lunch Special = $16.99
Baingen Aloo (Appetizer)
Potato and Eggplant (Main)
Kadai Chicken (Main)
Chicken Tiki Masala (Main)

The good part about this special is, you get to try so many different things on one platter. Everything was freshly made and absolutely irresistible. They asked if we wanted mild, medium or spicy.

Everything was seasoned perfectly and super delicious.

Tamarind Chutney
Mango Chutney
Mango Yogurt Drink

The Total Cost of the Bill (Before Tip) = $47.48

Summing It Up:

This is a great place to go if you’re wanting to try something different in a warm and welcoming environment. Most people have never tried Indian Cuisine because they're afraid it may be too spicy. I promise, ask for “mild” and that's what you’ll get!

To me, Indian Food is comfort food. Indian people are incredibly proud of their food and rightfully so. You can literally taste the love they pour into their recipes!

Where should I go next?

I was so happy when the brought back the buffet. But when I got there and went up to get my food well let's just say it was just ok. Most of the food was not good. It was cut up into much smaller pieces and lacked the flavor it used to have. The price was way to much from where it was in the past. It just seemed like they was not even trying. I will not go back and the price I know food and other things have gone up. But to charge $30 for two people with not that much on the buffet was not good. I will not go back from a scale 1to 10 I give it about a 4 it was just ok but not worth spending that much on.

Worst possible food on planet, the dirt on the plates and spoons were visible. The glasses smell like throwing up while drinking water, left the place within 10 mins with 15% tip as a gentleman which I am sure they don’t deserve.
Management, please understand people pay money that they earn with hardwork, don’t take customers for granted thinking you could fool people. I genuinely wish the food department to inspect this place and do the required inspection before someone terribly falls sick. I see many reviews pointing to your hygiene which I must have considered before entering your place

Absolutely disgusting. The chicken tikka was like wet tissue paper. I'm pretty sure it was rotten. I'm thought I saw roaches by the register.
