Very sad that Taj Mahal was empty. Food was amazing and service was spot on.

One of most satisfying and most engaging meal we have ever had. The very very nice hosts made the otherwise perfect meal a memorable one.It's a bit hidden but the venue is lovely, spacious restaurant with good Indian food and great hosts.

The host was the best part of this restaurant. He was extremely nice and I felt like having food at a relatives place.

There is a lot of room for improvement. The room was cold, so it is wise to bring your jackets, service started by giving my partner and I one glass and pitcher of water and nothing else. The second glass came when the meal arrived. The food was decent, but over priced. We went up to the servers to get our check which took sometime to get. Perhaps this is a good pickup spot, but I would not recommend for a pleasant dining experience, I don’t believe you get the value that you pay for.

Best Indian food in the area. The owner is so so so nice, so accommodating, and is understanding of different dietary restrictions and choices (vegan, gluten-free) G/F Vegan, Vegetarian options clearly marked on the menu.Vegetarian options: Clearly listed on menu / vegetarian menu sectionDietary restrictions: Gluten free vegan and vegetarian options clearly listed

I went here when we were on our way to Niagara falls. I didn't expect much but to my surprise food was really amazing. I would say one should try all the vegeterian menu in here and we loved everything we ordered.

Food was terrific. Owners are charming. My party had chicken samosas, veg samosas, chicken tikka masala, chicken tandoori, sag paneer, plain naans, and garlic naans. And rice (but I didn't eat any). All of it was superb. The chicken tikka masala is probably geared toward an American palate, so if you're new to Indian food that might be worth a go. I really liked the chicken tandoori - beautifully spiced and perfectly cooked. If you engage the owners in conversation, you'll love what you get. Lovely people with a real passion for Indian food. I don't live nearby, but I'll be stopping in any time I'm passing on the Thruway.

Tonight we celebrated a special family birthday dinner with takeout from the beautiful Taj Mahal restaurant. Each dish was spiced to perfection, with large portions that left us stuffed and satisfied. There was just enough left for a nice midnight snack. We had ginger chicken, lamb curry, chicken vindaloo, lamb biryani, and chicken tikka masala, along with several samosas, naan, and plenty of basmati rice. We loved the wonderful cuisine from this majestic church building in historic Schenectady. The chef was also charming and kind, greeting us cheerfully as we ordered and picked up our meals. We are planning to go back again soon for another special meal from The Taj Mahal Restaurant!!!
This is a hole in the wall place, doesn't look like much and actually pretty hard to find if your not paying attention. It's in the basement of a church. However the food was actually really good. I got the Lamb vindaloo with extra spice. It was delicious and had that kick I was looking for, basmati rice was cooked very well, and the garlic naan was just like my step father makes it. Prices really weren't crazy spent about $25 on a drink meal and naan. Service could have been better but we were in the basement of a church in an old church pew so...yeah.

The owner is so nice and the food is amazing. Great small business to support.

Value for money not worth it. Felt like I received appetizers rather than entree sizes. And I don't know what I received but the naan I got was like no other naan I ever had. I do not recommend.

While the location and presentation was decent however the food quality leaves a lot to desire. The authenticity is questionable.
