Indian Taj in Scarborough

Just ordered my usual takeaway the chunks of chicken were so dry I've left so much on my plate 😔 usually very good from here, I've spent £18 for my meal and delivery, I'm a regular customer and now I'm going elsewhere

First visit, we live locally. Food fabulous lovely staff all in all very good. There is NO 20% charge on the bill. Take your own alcoholic drinks at a very miniscual £1.50 corkage charge.

Brilliant food, the best we have found in the town 😋. Can be very busy, so it may be worth prebooking.

We were told after 1 and a half hours on our table that we could not have a dessert menu as they needed our table back. We then asked for a coffee to which they responded that they had ran out of coffee beans. Clearly overbooking. The lamb chops looked like they were frozen and the chicken was quite hard. I don’t think we’ll come again.

Really good food, very friendly staff! Recommend!

Excellent food, service, and good that you can take in your drinks. Ask for Sufian, he’ll look after you.

Taj restaurant on Falsgrave. Don't go there. I worked there for two days. What they feed people is sick. I saw one employee in the kitchen peeing in his food. I warn and caution. And one more thing they steal 20 percent when you pay by card.

One of our favourite Indian restaurants in town. Stunning food and great friendly service. The restaurant has a lively atmosphere and all the staff and very kind and friendly. We love coming here and would recommend to others. Idieally situated next to an off licence to buy your chosen tipple (if you fancy and for a small corkage charge).

The food was delicious and served quickly, complemented by excellent hospitality from the staff. Sufain was especially kind and polite, recommending great vegetarian options for me that day. I thoroughly enjoyed the meal. Highly recommended— a must-visit! The flavors cater well to both South Indian and North Indian tastes.

Great food with very attentive staff

I recently had the pleasure of dining at the Indian Taj Restaurant, and I must say, it was an incredible experience. The food was amazing. Each dish was crafted to perfection, making it hard to pick a favorite! The service was exceptional, with the Manager going above and beyond to ensure we had a wonderful time. Their attentiveness and friendly demeanor made us feel welcomed and valued. The manager was so nice to me and my husband. To top it all off, the dessert was a highlight of the evening. The ice cream was simply amazing—creamy and rich, it was the perfect way to end our meal. I also loved the fresh flowers in the little tiny vase on our table; they added a lovely touch to the ambiance and made the dining experience even more special. Overall, I highly recommend Indian Taj Restaurant for anyone looking for great food and excellent service.

We dined as a group of three. The manager was very friendly and welcoming. The garlic naan was delicious, and Special Vegetable Kadai was flavorful, perfectly spiced, and stood out as a highlight. The Bombay Aloo was exceptional as well!

Best place to spend your evening in scarborough.The food was way better than i expect and the staff was so friendly .I will recommend everyone. must visited place.

Great if you like to get scammed. Buyer beware, the only restaurant in the country that presents you with a menu with food prices that don't include VAT, which is then added to your bill later. Not only is this underhand and sharp practice, it is ILLEGAL.

Take away packing is absolutely fascinating. Eco friendly packing, clean restaurant, friendly and polite staff, food was piping Hot. Simply best in Town. Highly recommended.

Ordered food from this place yesterday for the first time. They provided very good guidance on the menu, adjusted spices to our liking, the food packaging was very impressive, good quantity, hot and fresh, staff was very polite and gave us a 10% discount. The pricing is very reasonable for the quality and quantity of food. With the limited amount of places offering halal or Desi food, this is a must try :)

Our first visit tonight, to celebrate my husband’s 40th, following reccomendations from his colloeagues. We arrived about 5 minutes before opening (without a reservation) and they opened the door with “Sir, Madam, Young Sirs, please come from the cold” When we told them we had no reservation, the manager checked the bookings and said “I squeeze you in, we have til 6.30 my friends.” We never felt rushed - service was prompt and respectful… I even had to ask the chap to backtrack when it came time to pay the bill because he bypassed the gratuity section (where so many businesses now hand the card reader to you with the gratuity options as a “taken for granted you want to tip”). The other tables filled up very quickly, and everyone was smiling and laughing… I never saw a single table sending a dish back or waiting for service. Light background music added to a relaxed and joyful atmosphere. My husband commented that he’s never had service to this level anywhere - they quickly learned the names of our children and addressed them by “master x” throughought, whilst we remained Sir/ Madam. Hats off to the manager - he was completly aware of every table and either adressomg their needs directly or quietly directing a colleague to help so nobody was left waiting! Soiled napkin? No problem - a fresh one was presented before you’d set the dirty one down. Cold child? A portable radiator was quickly set up (again, without us even saying our youngest was chilly sat by the door) with “for you, young master x, be warm” The food was beyond phenominal- perfectly seasoned, promptly served - neither so fast that you felt rushed nor so slow that you felt abandoned. Beyond impressed with the price - I genuinely expected the bill to be 50% higher than it was for the quality of the food and the size of the portions. It’s nice to find a local place that doesn’t overcharge and take advantage of their customers and still deivers 5* service and food. Will definately be heading back - it’s our new go-to place for celebrations!

What can I say 🤷 just the best curry in scarborough by far, will never disappoint you. Food is outstanding, clean restaurant and staff very pleasant 👌 can't do enough for you. Another fantastic night guys thanks again for having us. Happy new year to you all x

Lovely small business, overall the food was really good. The starter we ordered (mixed starter platter for two) was nice and varied, but the meat seemed to be overcooked, as it was a little dry. The main courses were excellent, the meat was more tender and the sauce of the achari was lovely (tasted like a thick, smoky tomato-based curry). Staff were very polite, friendly and the service was nice and quick. The only negative on this side of things was that the prices on the menu were excluding VAT, which is not something I've experienced in any restaurant before - so factor this in before ordering. Despite this, the food and service was still worth the price paid.

Best curry in Scarborough and great value. Chicken Akhan was gorgeous, very hot but very flavourful. Wonderful fresh and hot garlic naan. Great service.

Disappointed, firstly they messed the order up. It was cold, the door to the kitchen made a noise every time someone went through. Received the bill only to be told VaT had to be added. The restaurant started off well, however, don't feel the food is the same standard. Will definitely be avoiding in the future.

We moved here yesterday and fancied something hot and fulfilling. An excellent meal with good flavours and tender meat. A little colder than we would like but it was a cold night. Will be popping in soon for a sit in experience. Many thanks. 🙏

Yet another fabulous takeaway from the TAJ, they never disappoint and, great value for money. They have also moved over to paper packaging instead of plastic, well done to them, that is brilliant.

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!!!!

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

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

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…

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.

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

Beautiful food and lovely staff, especially Yasin.

Yasin was great and food was lovely

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.

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

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.

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

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

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 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*****

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

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

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.

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!

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!

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

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

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.

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!

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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. Sharone Messruther

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
