Taj Mahal is by FAR our favorite Indian food in the entire region - we recommend it all the time. Incredibly delicious and fresh, always consistent, and the dining area has a warm atmosphere! Favorite dishes are the saag paneer and curried chicken + garlic naan. The fact that they’re open late is the cherry on top. We will be long time fans and customers here

Taj Mahal has the best flavor on their chicken tikka masala in the tri-state area. Order the 2nd hottest heat level and you will be so happy. It is just the right amount of heat, but more importantly the DEPTH of the spices is very flavorful and savory. Many places in the area just throw in more chili powder at the higher heat levels. Taj Mahal adds more heat as well as anuthentic Indian spices. 10/10 😁
