Indian Taj in Scarborough

Ordered a delivered meal whilst on a break in Scarborough and it has to be said, one of our best Indian meals of all time, the Pickle tray super tasty with choice of flavoured or plain poppadoms, garlic chilli chicken main with pilau rice was awesome and their peshwari nan bread was simply the best we have ever had, was mango infused which made such a difference . This place is well worth a try, the delivery driver very friendly and on time, food piping hot, Very impressive. Will deffo order again when next in Scarborough. "Thankyou" to all at Indian Taj

Been 3 times now. Excellent. Good starters. Good curries. Good breads. A nice little Scarbados gem.

Excellent food brilliant service wonderful as usual

BRILLIANT 👍 BEST INDIAN RESTAURANT IN SCARBOROUGH. Fantastic food. Brilliant staff. All great, but you must book. Recommended to all. 👍👍👍👍👍

Best curry place in Scarborough with some amazing curries. Superb!

Yet another great meal at a highly recommended restaurant. Thank you taj!!!!

Sufain was goog waiter over TAJ and I loved food...

It is very good food and test like Indian and sufiain services very good and nice atmosphere.

The food is the best in Scarborough and Yasin our waiter is giving the best service. Cannot fault it!

Food was far beyond my expectation. Too much spicy, no other flavours at all. Have never ever had these bad food in my life. Cant recommend…

Asked for mild korma, well it came that sweet it was inedible. The young lad said manager would be over but he never came. Worst curry ever. Would not recommend

Yasin was great and food was lovely

Beautiful food and lovely staff, especially Yasin.

Monday evening meal with my Daughter, she is very new to Indian and the staff couldn't have been more helpful. A delicious platter of mixed items to try and for me the Chicken Shashlick for me was delicious. Will deffo be going back.

Starter was a paneer sag, to be fair it was a nice starter, the mains were not great, the wife had a chicken korma, it was that sweet it was inedible tasted like they had dropped a bowl of sugar in it, the had a spoonful and was nearly sick, I had lamb sag, strange smell to it like, just a meat smell no tast or even spice taste, on a positive note the rice and nan bread were OK, still charged full price even though we complained and they could see the korma was not touched.

Everything is great, but the table by the door is next to a box with wind blowing from the street. Brrr cold

Visited the Indian Taj whilst on holiday. The setting and ambience were great. The food and service was first rate too. I would be happy to come back again.

Yasin has been very helpful every time we visit the restaurant. He is very smiley and welcoming and always happy to see us, and have us laughing He is a credit to the team and always makes our visit special 😊 Thankyou

Amazing food Amazing service yasin you were amazing 👏

Yasin was excellent in providing service for our family meal. His etiquette, kindness, and politeness went a long way in our experience. Would definitely recommend the food at the Taj. 👍

The staffs are very welcoming.. it was a lovely night out. I enjoyed all the meal I ordered and even had take outs

Yasin was brilliant, fantastic service and very polite. Food was amazing too.

Yasin was very helpful and polite. The food was brilliant and service was excellent

Yasin was great! Food was great highly recommended!

We have ordered takeaway a number of times, and it has always been excellent, but the order today bore no resemblance to the normal, tikka Marsala was tasteless and the fish sagwala extremely hot with a bitter aftertaste, we will try them again, hoping this was a one off as normally , as I said it is excellent

Yasin was great really good person lovely and friendly. Couldn’t be happier.

Yasin was great service and hospitality cheers

Yasin was superb- a very professional service, the food was excellent, I would highly recommend the Taj it’s the best in Scarborough 5*****

In my opinion best Indian in Scarborough. Food wonderful, very reasonable price & staff so friendly especially Yasin.

Lovely Indian. Food was great, staff friendly and great value. Bring your own alcohol and the corkage charged is cheap! Well worth a visit.

Yasin and food lovely, very tasty meal

Yasin is amazing person.. he knows how to treat a customer..the skulls he have its so outstanndibg and restraunt is also amazing i can give 4.9 but that 5 star is coz of yasin

Absolutely loved the food 10/10. 'Yasin' our waiter was very polite and respectful. We would be very happy if he was our waiter next time we come.

I had a wonderful dining experience at Indian Taj Restaurant. The staff were friendly and attentive, creating a welcoming atmosphere. The food was absolutely delicious, with the lamb chops being a standout, perfectly cooked and full of flavor. Sufian provided excellent service, ensuring we had everything we needed. Overall, a fantastic experience with great food and service. Highly recommended!

Great food and service, lots of variety on the menu, friendly environment

Brilliant food! Excellent service, Yasin is always really kind and chatty! Very friendly place! Unreservedly recommend!

Yasin was great, So warming and welcoming, Food was really amazing and tasty, Chicken chilli garlic most recommended 🫶🏻

We very much enjoyed our take out meal. Great food and staff. Very friendly and helpful. Good value for money. You get plenty of food. Lovely, clean restaurant. We're hoping to go back for a sit in meal before our holiday is over. Recommended.

Chiken chatt Tandoori chicken Keema naan. Spot on. Simply best in town. Highly recommended.

It was great! the food was very tasty and the service was extremely warm-hearted (the food was really tasteful and the service was very friendly)

Thank you for your warm welcome Sufiyan.. The food was delicious. It makes me feels like home.

Got a take away from here 21/8/24, what brilliant meals we had, the staff was friendly, smart and polite. The meals we had were still hot when we got home. Highly recommended.

Ordered for collection, fresh, vibrant, tasty and on time. Bang on

Yesterday I got one chicken biryani that’s so delicious I love it and He’s name is tipu he made that I’m really appreciate for chicken biryani

My name is beau. and I seat with my grandad. this restaurant was the best Indian food place I have ever had in my life the Service was so nice I definitely recommend this place they also gave me a treat at the end I love this place.

Sufiyan is one of the best employees ever he always speaks to me and tells me things that he recommends for me I am 14 years old and this is the only place I will come for a curry

Takeaway order was awful! Do not buy food from these people! Expensive and disgusting. Not authentic in any way. Yuk!!!!

Yazoo was very professional and friendly and funny to. Highly recommend

The best Indian take away ever, (& we’ve had a few). Great melt in the mouth food. So much flavour & not over spiced. Great service, delivered hot & 10 minutes early. Easy to order online. You’ve got to try a Taj take away. So it’s a 10 from me.

Excellent food. I had the Bengal Chicken Karma which I recommend to anyone looking for something that allows you to taste the spices as they are not dominated by chili. I had dry spicy cauliflower as a side, and that was a great combination. Staff were great - unfortunately the previous people at "our" table were a little slow in leaving, so we couldn't be immediately seated.

Excellent service and food enjoyable night well worth a visit

Me and my husband came here this evening and ordered the meal for 2, I couldn’t believe how much food we got for the price it was excellent value for money, the staff were so polite, friendly and professional, the food came j. Great time and was absolutely delicious, it was our first time trying Taj after hearing lots of great reviews and it did not disappoint, we will definitely come back again.

This place was recommended to us and it did not dissapoint very clean staff excellent food great to could not find a fault .

Best Ever Restaurant! A little gem. Absolutely gorgeous curry. Came here with husband on 3rd July and the service was second to none and the curry itself was amazing. I like veggie stuff, my hub likes meat so I got vegetable balti and he got lamb and spinach and both were wonderful. (Yusa) I think his name was, really polite and courteous as was all the staff. I can recommend this place. The amount of different vegetables in that curry was great, and I’m not vegetarian, I just didn’t fancy any meat. So……..what are you waiting for……get yourself there and try it for yourself!

Fantastic atmosphere with amazing food! Service from the staff is wonderful and I wouldn’t go anywhere else!

Absolutely fantastic High food quality, generous portion, attentive staff And Asad the owner also friendly. Highly recommended.

Best Indian food in this town. Authentic Indian food , friendly and smily staff. Simply best in town.

Best Indian in Scarborough. Bring your own alcohol. Highly recommended.

The worst food I never eat that much worst food. The rice is not proper cooked. They use

Very bad experience. No cooked food Just used in frozen vegetables 🥵🥵🥵🥵

Fantastic food, very friendly service. Has to be the best Indian restaurant in town. 👍🏼

I ordered a takeaway tonight which cost me £43, it consisted of, a chicken tikka masala mushroom rice onion bhaji,mint sauce and popadums , the lamb bhuna and Bombay potatoes was missing, I called and they said the only dish what was missing was the lamb bhuna and we didn’t order Bombay potatoes. Please bear in mind this order costed us £43. We still await the lamb bhuna to be delivered one hour on….. I do not recommend this takeaway.

Was really welcoming, easy to book, although it was busy but still didn't have to wait long before food. The food was amazing. I'm really glad we found this place, thoroughly enjoyed everything. Thankyou to all staff xx

Lovely and clean, staff very polite and helpful,food excellent what more could you want , great value for money

We ordered takeaway and it arrived earlier than stated, came in well presented containers, and tasted delicious. The delivery guy was really friendly and cheerful, I cant fault this place. I've eaten in the restaurant a few times and they always impress with the tasty food and service.

We were on holiday in Scarborough this week and fancied a takeaway one night. TAJ Indian did not disappoint. The food was so so nice and very hot on arrival. We had a butter chicken, sashlik bhuna, coconut rice, keema nan and poppadoms and pickle tray. It really was all so nice and would highly recommend this curry house.

I've just ordered my first take away meal from here. Absolutely delighted. Tasted delious (perfectly spicey) arrived bang on time and served in packing that is environmentally friendly. I don't often do a take away...and I am very impressed. Thank you Taj ✨️👌

This is the 4th time we have come here and everytime its spot on. Food is so tasty 😋 staff are so friendly and want to make you happy. This time we took my mother-in-law who is gluten free and has not had a curry in 7 years and she really enjoyed, they accommodated for her needs and she had full choice to choose a curry she wanted, Best curry in scarborough and never disappoints. Keep doing what your doing guys you've nailed it

Best Indian in Scarborough! Always fantastic food and service both in the restaurant and when receiving a take out. Would Highly Recommend

The staff were so polite and attentive. They gave us time to look at the menu before coming to the table to take our order. The meal arrived quickly and was hot. The meal was delicious. I will definitely visit here again.

The restaurant is by far the best in Scarborough, we have tried most of the Indian restaurants in the area and would not go anywhere else now. We eat here once or twice a fortnight and have tried lots of different meals from the menu we haven’t got a favourite as they have all been delicious. The set meal is really good value for money you get so much to eat we always end up taking some home. You do have to take your own alcohol but that is probably a bonus. The staff are very friendly and always make you feel welcome. The restaurant is very clean and in a good location

Food was good. Service excellent.

I went with my daughter and her friend for a meal last night. It was outstanding in EVERY respect. The restaurant is beautiful. The service was fabulous, everyone there so friendly and welcoming and the food is absolutely out of this world. I love Indian food, it's my favorite and I've been all over to various different restaurants to eat in and take away. TAJ is by far the best for both. Will not go anywhere else. Many many thanks.

We arrived mid week without a reservation yet receive a very warm welcome. The staff are very friendly and provide an unhurried service. Really great food, at a reasonable price, and the take your own alcoholic policy adds to the good value.

Second time of coming here , took my son for his first curry in a restaurant and I would put 6 stars if I could , staff couldn't do enough for us and one waiter (unfortunately I didn't get his name ) went through all the dishes with him , when the food cam he waited for my son to try to check all OK.Food was fantastic , starters and main , lovely atmosphere and I would say very reasonably priced .What a fantastic place to go , the 2 members of staff that looked after us are a credit to this business, keep it up

Mid week visit. Food & service was excellent as per usual. We had starters, mains and desserts. A mixture of onion bhaji's, meat platters. For mains, chicken tikka masala, Prawn jalfrezi and Prawn shashlik with veg side dishes & naan bread. Everything was delicious, could not fault it. Ice cream & sticky toffee pudding to finish. Excellent value. Yasin one of our favourite friendly waiters was impeccable with his service & always has a big smile. Yes they do not serve alcohol but there are several shoos nearby to pop out if you forget your own.

Absolutely beautiful food , lovely staff , highly recommend, definitely go again , really nice food and you can bring your own alcoholic drinks

I booked a meal for 19. Service, and food was outstanding. Lovely atmosphere and we were made very welcome.

An excellent meal, food came quickly and hot, great waiting staff. I can recommend the sylheti gosht, a lamb dish with onions in a tomato sauce, absolutely delicious.

The staff were lovely and very attentive, without being obtrusive and the restaurant was very clean and quite busy for early evening. We started with poppadoms and the pickle tray. Whilst the poppadoms were fine, the pickle tray was disappointing, consisting of two very small portions of sweet dip, a tiny portion of onion salad and NO pickle. The portions were no more than half the usual size and some pickle, say lime, would've been a welcome addition. For the main course we had Tandoori King Prawns, which were unusually spicy hot, to the extent that my partner couldn't eat them and had a so-so Aloo Saag in their place. I had King Prawn Dhansak, but as is often the case in Pakistani/Indian/Bangladeshi restaurants, it had too much sauce and not enough lentils. Dhansak is actually a Persian dish and when I've had it in Persian restaurants, it had much less sauce and far more yellow lentils. Also, the hot/sweet dynamic has been a lot more apparent when cooked this way. The accompanying Pilau Rice was ok without being exceptional, but the Garlic Naan was excellent. Strangely, we were brought the bill without being asked if we wanted a dessert, which is a trifle inconsiderate. On to my biggest gripe: I had forgotten, but Taj doesn't serve alcohol. If that was for cultural/religious reasons, it would be fine, but it isn't. Taj either can't get or chooses not to get, a liquor licence; again that is their business, but to suggest that customers go to the trouble of bringing their own alcohol, then making a 'corkage' charge is, to my mind, avaricious. I'll just repeat that the staff were excellent, but although this is easily my nearest Indian restaurant, I doubt I'll be back.

We have been recommended to try here for some time by our friends and family and safe to say we really glad we did listen as the food is beautiful staff is really friendly and accommodating the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome

Absolutely lovely meal would definitely use again 5 ☆☆☆☆☆

Arrived here and it was closed.

I was most disappointed. I spent days, weeks, months dreaming of the majestic mango chutney only to find the restaurant had closed its doors earlier than the time the waiter had promised me on the phone. 🥲

Been a few times now and always had a chicken dish, different sauces etc and always done to perfection. The atmosphere is a bit bad, all packed in tight and takeaway drivers constantly in and out. Last night I thought I'd try the Lamb, biggest mistake, it was nothing but fat and gristle, the sauce, a special Bhuna was gorgeous but the gristle was just too much. I tried to tell the waiter who just laughed, bowed then walked off smiling. Clearly didn't understand the language even when I pointed to all the gristle.

Probably one of the best indian in Scarborough.

Actually how do you rate restaurant when you have booked a table for a certain time to arrive 5mins before said time to be told it wouldn't be ready 35mins later. Happily take it on the chin say we will come back just before 9pm. To arrive and told table still not ready and will be 15 mins at least. Absolutely poor service, such a shame when have recommended the great service and food to so many friends. Thankful that our good friends at Tops just down the road were very accommodating. One word GREED.

Two of us had the meal for 2 @£42.00. This deal offers 2 poppadoms with a pickle tray, 2 starters, 2 mains, 1 side dish, 2 pilau rice and 1 naan. We found the pickle selection to be very sweet and thought a lime or spicy option would have been better. For my starter I had sheek kebabs which were delicious, moist and tasted homemade. The other starter was samosas which were alao enjoyed. My main was chicken tikka pathia which was lovely, sweet, a little sour with a little bit of a kick. The other main was tandoori lamb, the lamb was tender, plentiful and lean, it could have been made better if served with a side salad. Instead of a side dish we had an extra naan, as we couldn't agree on which side we wanted. This was charged at an extra £1.00. All in all we both left full and enjoyed our meal. The restaurant is comfortable, the staff were attentive and friendly without being intrusive. I feel we will definitely return and would recommend The Taj.

I have recently reviewed this restaurant as a good place to dine, on Friday we took some very good friends of ours to dinner, I can’t begin to tell you how rude and disrespectful we were treated. Firstly we had to wait half an hour for a reservation we had made, then they started clearing the table whilst one of our guests hadn’t finished, then came the bill, we were not offered coffee or a sweet menu, and to cap it off, a waiter came with a card machine and said card or cash. We were made to feel like an inconvenience. We will definitely not be returning. Disappointed and embarrassed.

My wife and I were staying near Scarborough, and we used the Taj for a takeaway meal twice. It was immaculately packed and tasted absolutely delicious. The staff were so polite, and the restaurant looked immaculate.

Called to order and said press 1 for 10% discount and order online. Did this and took the time to complete, entered the code and received a message that this code is no longer valid. Called the restaurant and they said this offer is no longer valid (they need to remove this from their phone options). They said don’t worry we will take your order and give you 10% discount. I gave them the exact same order and they then applied the discount but it was £4 more than the non-discounted online price. They proceeded to tell me that when you call it’s a different menu and it’s the restaurant menu which is more expensive than the online menu which is why it was more. My order was over £60 and they wouldn’t move on the price. They are a con and use the discount to get your attention then try to use an excuse or a different menu. Will never try them again and will discourage people from going. There are other Indian restaurants that are cheaper and have the same level of food so will be going back to my usual place. Avoid TAJ unless you want to be conned!

If you want great tasting indian food 😋, it's here, take your own drinks which I love to do, only £1 each corkage fee, food is amazing, I had a Makhani, it had mango cooked on top, good range of dishes, vegetarian, seafood, excellent service, you won't be disappointed 😋

My partner and I had set meal for 2 excellent food great value and very good service. Highly recommend

I loved everything about this place! Service was fantastic, food was delicious, and there was a great atmosphere. The place was busy all night, yet you didn't wait long for food, and the staff were all lovely and attentive. We'll definitely be returning, and the fact you can BYOB is an added bonus!

Easy to order. Arrived in under half an hour. Great food, pleasant delivery chap. We will order or visit them again

Service was quick with delivery. Tasted absolutely amazing. Was hot on arrival. Delivery driver was polite and lovely. Would 100% recommend

Son treated us to take away it wadTerrible . watery and chicken tough. Never again

Been to this curry house loads since we found it in the summer last year and we haven’t had any issues till today. They’d forgotten 2 of our rices which when you’ve driven for half an hour to just pick it up and then driven back home to find that you’re missing part of your dinner is very aggravating. But the major major issue today is that the chicken in 2 of the curries we did get had raw chicken! Didn’t realise it was raw until we’d already eaten some of it so if we’re up all night spewing our guts up we will NOT BE HAPPY!

Fantastic Indian restaurant, great food,great staff,couldn't recommend it highly enough, and will definitely be going back.

Excellent food and service here. We opted for the set meal for 4, which was a great value offer. The restaurant is unlicensed, so remember to bring your own wine or beer.
