“Omg there is another location closer to my home. Awww shux. There is one near work and now I find one mear home. I love the food and family atmosphere of this restaurant. Hands up a family and work favorite. See you soon...“

“Service and food slowly deteriorating as expected. We have been to the restaurant around 12-15 times since they opened. Initial visits were good but lately we have seen steady decline in their service.
In our last visit a male employee who seemed to be the manager/owner took our order and completely ignored the details. e.g. Asked for chillis in the veg uttapam and a soft mysore masala dosa with masala on the side. We have ordered this many times in the past and it arrived as ordered until this time. Chillis missing in the Uttapam and dosa was crunchy with masala inside. It is not a big deal but their attention to detail in listening to the customer seems to be vanishing as they have become popular in the area. I wish another good dosa place opens in the area so the quality remains in check. Another observation is that they are now skimping on the quantity of some chutneys as you can see in the picture. Food taste has been consistent over all.“

“Excellent South Indian food“

“This is a “hole in the wall” location with excellent and very traditional Indian food. We saw many people picking up large platters to take home, so next time we have folks over for Indian, this is the place! We ate inside the very comfortable small area and so enjoyed everything we tried. The service was excellent and the menu extensive. This will be one of our regular places for Indian food! The owner is planning to offer a buffet soon which we will frequent.“

“This restaurant is attached to a gas station run by a Gujarati family. Pratik Patel and his entire family are involved from prep to serving. Best quality and fresh food will be served and it's an open kitchen you can walk around and see pretty clean. We had Masala dosa, theplas, dhokla and undhiyo“

“Recently ordered panini sandwiches (chicken and paneer) for a lunch party and all our guests LOVED them. The bread was nice and thick to hold the tasty and well-cooked paneer /chicken along with salad-like filler material. Great portion size, reasonably priced, and the order was ready on time. Samosas were also very good! Cakes were awesome as well - both black forest and butterscotch. True to their name!“

“Royal Taj is our go-to restaurant for special occasions, like our 20th Wedding Anniversary last week. It never fails to deliver excellence. Because it was a very special dinner, we decided to try something different. So my wife ordered the Lobster Malabar and I ordered the Grilled Halibut. Both were very good, especially the Halibut which was covered in an outstanding Corn Relish. To top off the evening our excellent server, Joshi, brought us a slice of very tasty cheesecake with a lit candle on top. As usual we cannot rave loud and often enough about Royal Taj and it is all due to the GM Binda, who is very friendly, charismatic and truly sets the tone of excellence at Royal Taj.“

“Unique menu and best service .“

“I always order delivery from Halal Kabab & Wings when I’m craving comfort food. The food arrives hot, fresh, and fast! My go-to is the chicken wrap with fries — 10/10 every time. Super convenient and totally worth it. 🚗🍟“

“We ordered tonight and everything was delicious!!!! The sauces were so flavorful, and the vegetable Pakora were so light and delicious. We really enjoyed our meal and will be back!!“

“Butter chicken and chicken Tikki masala and garlic naan all exceptional“

“I really enjoyed the food I had, starting with the vegetable samosa, and for my meal, I had the lamb shahi korma. I took an order of the butter chicken home with me. I also had the butter naan and a mango lassi with my meal. I really enjoy Indian food and this location is very convenient and close to my home. I will definitely come here again and will have their lunch buffet.“

“These guys make very good food, and they are very eager to please. They have two menus, one with American food like pizza and burgers and fried chicken, and the other with Indian food. Personally I like their non-curry dishes. It is quite spicy and never bland. Tonight I had the chicken thigh dinner which was very soft and spicy. It was fantastic. They also seemed to have invested a good amount of money into this place. Nice quality interior and good parking outside. The owner and the hostess both came to the table personally and asked us about how the food tastes. These people really care.“

“Best vindaloo I’ve ever had“

“Sister invited me to try Indian food and brought me here to Taj Palace for lunch. I tried everything in their buffet. I was pleasantly surprised that I loved everything! I assumed that Indian food had a lot of curry but this was perfect! Delicious! I’ll be coming back for sure!“

“If you’re looking for typical South Indian style biryani, this is your place. The prices are very reasonable and the taste is beyond amazing. They have many options in veg and non-veg appetizers and entrees. Their desserts are also amazing.“

“Best Indian food around and even better service. This is my husband and I’s go to spot!“

“Delicious Pakistani dishes! Friendly service and generous portions. Overall a fantastic place for Pakistan cuisine. Highly recommended!“

“Huge if true! Heres a hint:“

“Here's to the highest stars available (20), and then some. Today, I introduced my son to Mango Lassie, Chicken Tika Masala, Nan. He was hesitant to come at first and now he is so impressed with the food and service. Thanks so much. I hope your restaurant grows and grows.“

“While this won’t stop us from ordering their delicious food again, tonight’s experience just wasn’t the same. I ordered the family package with vegetarian Biryani, which included raita, salan, plain rice, naam, and chicken curry. We got our order and it was missing the salan. I called the restaurant and got the weirdest explanation. “It’s a very small container. They make a large container and if it runs out. But it’s just a small container of peanut sauce.” I don’t care what the size of the container is, it’s advertised as a package and I expect everything in the order.“

“Absolutely true to its name. House of India is the place to be if you appreciate authentic Indian cuisine and excellent service. It’s not only having a dinner , it’s having a memorable experience. Loved everything about it. The food is exceptionally great, the service is outstanding. The owners under new management goes above and beyond to make every guests feel welcome. Highly recommend this place.“

“Variety of food, good service.“

“We had the Gujrati Thali and it was EXCELLENT. The food was very authentic, and there were many different dishes included. Highly recommend this vegetarian thali! Also, the service was friendly and wonderful.“

“Great food and people love them“

“Food was delicious. Only gripe was that I ordered the app sampler and they were out of one of the items. No big deal but I wish I was told. No discount was offered even requested but was responded with “well that’s still enough food”

Janet was very nice. She basically runs the place. Host, server, bartender…she did every thing but cook.

It’s a little dark in the restaurant but they do have individual lights do help out if you are struggling to see the menu.

Overall enjoyed my experience and would come back some day.“

“Good“

“Reasonable price and friendly staff!! Tasty mutton Briyani and crispy lollipop chicken!!“

“We dined here for their lunch buffet and the food was amazing and extremely fresh. Everything was really tasty and a great value. Highly recommend!“

“Love it very authentic best I’ve had in the US“

“Every time I get something here I am blown away with how amazing it is! They have the BEST veggie pizza I’ve ever had - lots of veggies yet not soggy at all and full of flavor. Their chicken wings are also some of the best I’ve ever had. Their Indian cuisine is authentic and delicious. I’m often nervous when I see a restaurant with such a large and diverse menu but somehow Arlon’s totally pulls it off and everything is outstanding!“

“Food is always excellent Nice people“
