I booked Nye dinner here for myself my husband and my in-laws . My first reaction was that the interior design was great, not stuffy at all, very casual and relaxed. Although we arrived on time there was a bit of a wait for the table with nowhere really to stand but the staff handled it very well and we didn't mind getting a drink in first - they made space for us to have a seat when they could. The food was absolutely gorgeous (I'm not a massive Indian fan, my husband and in-laws love it) and we all agreed it was beautiful. Another positive is that the staff are very attentive and friendly. My husband and I have been back several times for a midweek meal and the food has been consistently very good. Would highly recommend.

First things first the food was lovely I could not make a complaint there! The service on the other hand was one of the worse table services I have received in a long time! Drinks taking far too long to come or forgotten about, meal orders mixed up, took meal order and then came back to re take the order as they had lost it, a general feel of organised chaos, I think it was more good luck than good management that the meals came out correctly, although one was forgotten and had to wait longer than the rest of the party. The restaurant was also cold, even though the food was good I certainly wouldn’t return if it was for a larger party!!

I have just staggered back into my house with a very full belly after eating at the Taaj. We went as a family for my daughters 21st birthday before she goes out with her friends. It was a lovely couple of hours. From the moment we walked in we were made to feel special. We were there before the busy time so we probably received a bit more attention but it was nice all the same. The manager/owner is very friendly and funny. Just the right level of attention. The service was fast and top rate. The food was extremely good. I had the special Korma with Baileys in. Wow, it was amazing. Everyone in the group was impressed with the standard of food and the quantity. We only had mains and desserts. With a cocktail, beers and food for four it came to a very reasonable £100. I would highly recommend this lovely place and will definitely be going again. No hesitation in giving the Taaj five stars. Off to bed with a full belly now.

I took a very good friend out for a wonderful and memorable birthday meal last night. The venue was Taaj in Jordanstown. On arrival we were warmly greeted and seated and presented with our menus, which included the regular A la Carte and the High Tea Menu. As we were both hungry we opted for A la Carte. Whilst we looked at the menu we nibbled on freshly prepared and crisp poppadoms served with three delectable chutneys. Our drinks were a big bottle of Kingfisher for my bud and sparkling water for me!!

I have visited this restaurant quite a few times now. There is something about it that pushes my feet towards it almost every week, since I first entered it a couple of months ago. Is it lamb curry or is it tandoori chicken or is it simply the bhaji or may be the desi chai or the hospitality that pulls me towards it? Everything there is superb! Visit it and get addicted like me! Great food, excellent atmosphere and great service!

For a Friday night treat, my partner and I tried several dishes from Taaj and we were not disappointed. Very friendly staff to help those (like me) unaccustomed with Indian cuisine. The Taaj associated (meat) platter for two, for starter, was very tasty and came with yummy dips. For the 'main event' we had chicken korma and lamb Punjabi Masala, with pilau rice and naan bread - both main dishes were absolutely delicious and I would certainly get them again. If in the area, I'd fully recommend trying the Taaj for a sit-in meal or takeaway.

Had a Groupon voucher and realised 1 day before it ended that it still hadn't been used.Phoned up late on Thursday afternoon to ask if Friday was possible to which it was so booked lunch.To be honest from the front window I could see they were doing specials that were more than being offered on my voucher so was a little disappointed. On entering we were met by a middle aged gentleman who very politely led us to a seat near the window. The restaurant itself was pretty quiet but more tables became occupied as we sat having lunch. I suppose we were a little early.We ordered starters 1 meat 1 veg along with drinks and they were very tasty and we'll presented. The staff were constantly available on the floor but only approached when serving/clearing except to ask if the meal was satisfactory, which it very much was.I had lamb curry and my girlfriend a chicken byriani to which I tried. Both meals were well presented and in modern tableware and plentiful, infact I probably ate too much for a lunch.The building itself was very clean and modern and lots of space around the tables to allow privacy. I was really well impressed with the food,service and surroundings and would gladly return without any fears.

Visited for Mother's Day and have to say we were disappointed. We have been before and really enjoyed but this time it wasn't great. Normally when food left over we would take home but we didn't this time. It was a shame with it being a special occasion. I gave the staff some polite feedback which they graciously accepted and apologised. The chef was off and someone was cooking, hopefully the permanent chef is back soon. It just lacked favour, even the naan wasn't great which is usually to die for. In fairness we got offered a free drink which I declined, as we wanted to get our toddler home but did give us a bottle of wine to take home. I'm sure it will be better next time, but I think personally we will leave it for a while.

My latest visit here always changes my initial thought of 'maybe not' to Indian food. I always end up being thoroughly glad I went. The food is of fantastic quality every time (my lamb cooked tender) and the staff fall over backwards to make sure you're at home. Onion Bhagees are a necessary starter though I've tried the seafood starter platter before which had Cod Pakora amongst others (mmm). Always willing to branch out, this time I tried the Lamb Punjabi Masala - marvellous! Ask for a mocktail as well - Mojitos are as fresh as can be.

I visiting this restaurant for the first time with my wife and son Joshua (aged 3). We were welcomed at the door and given a choice of tables, we choose a lovely booth further in the restaurant. It was quite quiet, but a lovely ambience and atmosphere none the less. We were tended to all night by a lovely waitress Louise. We were seated and she took our drinks order whilst we savoured over the menu. These were served quickly and as we aren't too experienced in Indian food we chatted away to Louise about the menu and she entertained Joshua, we were made to feel so comfortable, she even took him over to see the waterfall during our meal as he was getting a little unsettled. We took a gamble and chose to order things we had never tasted before on Louise's advice and oh boy, it was all amazing. We started with poppodums and a selection of chutneys, then shared a seafood platter. I chose beef Karachi and my wife chose chicken chatinad, served with pilau rice and a garlic nan bread. Joshua even tried some chicken korma and loved it. The food was bursting with flavour and so authentic. We will definitely be back as we found Taaj to be outstanding in customer service, very child friendly, mouthwatering food and authentic decor. A little hidden treasure.

So I was supposed to have taken photographs of the amazing food here as I told Praveen I would, but truth is I couldn't wait that long until I ate it. This time we had a take away. Our initial visit in September was a sit in dinner which was fantastic. Praveen has been there on both occasions and from his warm welcome, the attentiveness of both him and his staff, to the extensive food menu, drinks menu, delightful interior and delicious food it was without any doubt that we would be back....sooner than we thought !! Situated in the heart of little Whiteabbey village close to Jordanstown University and of course the beautiful Loughshore Park this is a cracking affordable spot for locals, students and visitors to the area. Stop in and treat yourself to some flavoursome Indian dishes and wonderful hospitality. We will back for sure !!

Dined here last night for the first time.... we are regulars in the Magherafelt Taaj so were fairly confident visiting the jordanstown branch as travelling in that area. The restaurant has really beautiful décor and the food was excellent as was the draught kingfisher beer. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful and we were very happy to have a chat to mancheev (joint owner) at the end of our meal .... definitely recommend this restaurant for a great indian meal.

This award winning Indian restaurant in Jordanstown is definitely worth hunting out. It's one of only a handful of genuine, authentic Indian Restaurants in Northern Ireland. The head chef was trained at a five star hotel in India and cooks amazing dishes. I had chilli chicken with Thai dressing, salad and fries with madras sauce. Service and decor is wonderful. Food is proper Indian cuisine.

I have just returned home with my takeaway, cod pakora is not pakora as no spice in the batter, they are cod bites. Tikka gromi prawn tastes ok but has one prawn in the entire dish. Not good, second time here and struggling to see where the good reviews come from.

Had another gorg meal at the Taaj with my fiance last night. We opted for the early bird menu which is terrific value. We both had the chicken poori for starter. It is delicious and there's plenty of it. I had sirloin steak kirahi with rice and my fiance had lamb madras with rice. We shared a cheese naan which was yummy. The steak and lamb was melt in your mouth. Thanks Taaj. Your food and impeccable service never disappoints!

Ate here a couple of weeks ago and thoroughly enjoyed it despite the fact that it was a Monday night and we were the only customers at the time. Don't let that put you off. The restaurant is laid out in such a manner that it doesn't matter how many or few customers there are - due to the clever decor. We felt that there was still a lovely ambiance about the place and there were more customers by the time we were leaving. After all Monday isn't a particularly popular night for eating out!The waitress was very efficient and friendly and patiently explained the difference between a couple of dishes we were considering on the menu which was extensive. As we don't often eat Indian food it is very helpful to have that guidance.The food was lovely and the owner/manager, as well as the waitress, checked with us a couple of times to ensure everything was to our satisfaction.We are looking forward to our next visit.,

Tried the Taaj for an evening meal, and whilst the food was decent, it certainly wasn't worth the prices they were charging. The service was appalling, with the waiter seemingly in need of lessons at the charm school and only interested in pushing the most expensive dishes. At the end of the meal, we eventually had to goto the bar to pay and with no one willing to take our money. Avoid.

Booked a window table for 7pm for myself and hubby. Arrived and immediately a very pleasant waitress greeted us and showed us to our table. She presented us with menus to browse through. There is such a variety, it is so hard to choose! We ordered a drink and looked through the menu to pick our meals. We had poppadoms while we waited for starters, they looked amazing, my hubby had onion badjees, I had a dish called Chicken 65, they both were delicious and the quantity and presentation was excellent. A very short time to wait and our main courses arrived, Patia and Korma, pilau rice and a nana, all cooked to perfection, the chicken melted in your mouth, absolutely delicious The service we received was outstanding, staff came over to check everything was ok during the course of our meal, very attentive without being overbearing, EXCELLENT customer service, we thoroughly recommend TAAJ Jordanstown. The venue was very busy, couples, families, friends, and the staff kept up their very professional duties very well, with a smile each time you caught their eye. Cannot wait to return to this venue to try their many offers, go on treat yourself, give it a go Would give TAAJ a 5* rating!

I have driven past taaj a few times, and decided to give it ago. The staff was friendly and helpful in chosing dishes. The food portions was just enough and wasn't too hot or spicy. It is definitely the best Indian restaurant I have ate in. The price was reasonably to. 2 main dishes, 2 rices, portion of poppadoms and dips , 1 beer and glass of white wine all for £40. (For 2 people). After the meal the staff let us sit on to finish drinks. ( even though they were busy in Saturday night)

Noch am Abend an der Uni Ulster angekommen, auf der Suche nach etwas "Essbarem", stolperte ich über dieses Restaurant. Von Aussen eher "naja", entpuppte sich das "Taaj" als erfreulicher Zufall: Reich an Auswahl, sehr freundliche Beratung, hohe Flexibilität bei der Bestellung, hochwertige Grundnahrungsmittel (Keine Rumgekaue oder fasriges Fleisch, satter, frischer Geschmack; keine Magenbeschwerden "danach"), ganz leckere Gerichte ohne Übliches off season "das haben wir gerade leider nicht mehr", fairer Preis, Wifi und kein beim ersten Besuch "wir haben da...bitte raten Sie uns doch gleich positiv". Warum keine 5 Punkte? Ich warte noch auf den "Kaffee aufs Haus";;-) cheers

We were staying close by in loughshore caravan park and tried the take away in Taaj. The food was lovely for both Indian and European dishes with good size portions and was well priced. The staff were friendly and helpful. Its very handy for anyone staying at the caravan park or area.

Family was here for a birthday meal, and it was amazing. The service was very attentive and the waiter offered plenty of suggestions and answered all our questions. The food was great, a wide selection of various indian dishes with a few european style meals. It arrived pretty quickly and was very tasty, plenty of tender meat and creamy sauces. We were full to bursting. And they have a great selection of cocktails. Overall a great night in very pleasant surroundings. Ask about about the grooms turban .....
