Taj Mahal Homestyle Indian and Pakistani Cuisine

Finally made it to this longstanding DDD hotspot. The food did not disappoint! The owner is truly a character and made the dinner enjoyable and the rest of the family in this family-owned place were very cordial. It's a little more expensive than the typical Indian place but well worth it!

Always a pleasure eating here. Food has been excellent for years! Best Indian food in Idaho as carcass can tell.

Delicious food prepared by the matriarch of this family business. The dad greeted and seated us. The son served us. And the experience was amazing. Indoor and outdoor seating on the second floor, overlooking 8th Street.

Everything about this restaurant was 5 STAR! The staff, ambiance, service and best of all, the food!!! Can't wait to go back! :0)

Really nice restaurant with a nice covered outdoor area. Came here twice in one week while here for business and the food was excellent. Friendly staff as well.

One of my favorite restaurants in Boise! The food is always amazing and the owner and staff are very friendly.

Family run, mom is in the kitchen and dad runs the floor. Best goat curry I’ve ever had. Cooked with love is an understatement

Amazing food and excellent service! Great place to have an Authentic meal. Portions are enormous and perfect for sharing. If you find yourself downtown, definitely stop in! 100% recommend this place.

We ate here last Friday. Downtown was packed, all the restaurants were packed, and Taj Mahal was not. There were about 4 tables total while we were there.

Food was good. I have no complaints about the food.

My complaints center around the service. There were two servers, one male and one female for 4 tables. We ordered and were told food was cooked for scratch so it takes longer. It took one hour and 15 minutes to get our food on a night when the place was not even 1/4 full. No real explanations other than the initial one from the wait staff. We ran out of drinks and I had to go inside to request refills. Wait staff didnt really check in much at all.

Again, food was good, but not "1 hour and 15 minutes" good.

We decided to branch out and try new types of foods. The food at the Taj Mahal Homestyle Indian and Pakistani Cuisine was so full of flavor, the portions were great, everything (salmon, goat, chicken, beef) all cooked to the perfect tenderness. Even some of the combinations that sounded “different” to me were to die for. The staff was so sweet and great with giving suggestions and history on the dishes. We will definitely return!

First time ever trying this food and I have to say it was delicious and you can ask for it not to be to spicy.

We had a wonderful time at Taj Mahal tonight :) The atmosphere was great, and the food was delicious. The service went above and beyond! We will definitely be coming back. We loved the whole experience.

Food was very delicious. Most authentic South Asian food I’ve had in the US so far. The chai was very good and I love the Guy Fieri menu items. I can handle a lot of spice so it was fine for me, but fair warning that for people not used to spice- even mild might be a tad bit spicy for you (but should be manageable). Look at the menu for prices first. I think it’s a bit overpriced but was worth it as this is one of the only restaurants with authentic Indian food in Boise. While the ambiance was good, the table was too small for us. We could barely have all the dishes on the table, and had to set all our stuff down and be careful handling cutlery. The table just felt very cramped.

When placed the order, it was communicated pickup ready in 45mins. But it took them 2hrs to get one dish ready.
