Ambience is great , service and food is good , but it’s too costly !!Per person will be between 50-70$ easily . Lots of free parking and prior reservation makes it easy !! Overall satisfying experience.

Ambiance, excellent service, friendly staff, delicious food (the Lamb Saag is delicious!) Well worth it! Typical cost is about $20 / dish. You will NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!2/24 - Now vegan, but RT has the answer for that as well! Never disappoints, just had the Chana Masala and it was great!Vegetarian options: Both veggie and vegan options, though not large; what they do have is still great.

The food was delicious and the service was phenomenal. They really treat you like royalty here. The Rasmalai comes with 2 pieces, but since we were splitting it with 3 people, they were so kind to give us an extra piece. They even gave us complementary champagne after our meal.

I love the ambience and the service at Royal Taj. They are really great for upscale dining and parties. However, I have to say that the quality of their food went down within last few years. It used to be absolutely delicious but nowadays it doesn’t taste that great. It’s a shame that these days I have to select between amazing service and mediocre food. Five years ago this wasn’t an issue the food was yummy but not anymore :-(

I cannot express the delight and joy and catering I felt when I ate at Royal Taj today..the service was impeccable! I couldn't drink my water fast enough before it was being refilled to make sure I didn't have to wait and the staff are personable and it truly felt they cared. I felt like a QUEEN ? eating at this restaurant! What a beautiful place, inside and out! Can't recommend more!

One of the best restaurants for Indian cuisine I have ever experienced. The food was fantastic, the ambiance was great, and the service sublime! The manager was so attentive and treated us like family. I highly recommend that you experience this wonderful place.

Wow... Unbelievable. Every part of this meal was amazing! The food, delicious. The atmosphere, decadent yet still warm and comfortable. The service, best I've ever had. We felt so welcome and well taken care of. Probably the best Indian meal I've had, cannot wait to come back.

I started visiting this restaurant when I first moved to Columbia, and it would have been great except that whenever I went the owner kept assuming I was on work lunch hour and would ask me about work. It was such a turn off that he assumed that because I was going there myself in the middle of the day I must be a workhorse. It also confirmed that he’s a feminine energy guy. Whatever the situation his behavior was offensive.To top it off he assumed I’d need more coffee to go back to workhorsing, so he’d always give me a to-go of it clueless that I’m not allowed to have coffee and in fact am in Columbia for medical issues to rehab long COVID and mourning a massive death. If not for that the food was ok and the ambiance would have been nice. The food is so expensive you’d think the owner wouldn’t be such a presumptuous jackass.Thank god my place is set up now. I can cook and eat at home now. I wouldn’t go back because he can’t backpeddle the negative interactions. Hopefully he has a real job. Maybe I should have given him some tampons and lipstick on my way out the door. He’s so obviously married to women fitting into boxes based on appearance I should have returned the favor.I guess a restaurant is more than the food.
