Ordered online, went to pickup said order didn’t go through their system. Then suddenly it “appeared”. Went home and went back to pick up again 15 minutes later. To be honest would have waited an hour just for the food to be good. Ordered chicken korma and butter chicken. The containers were labelled the wrong way around and was also very confused to open the chicken korma to see it was a white colour. I immediately thought I’d ordered the wrong thing turns out it had so much cream and needed a good stir but was still very very pale. Butter chicken tasted almost the same as the korma just a little more flavour but not a very much. Both very bland. I asked for mild but even this was just not even flavourful more like a coconut curry😂 I don’t like to leave a bad review but had really high hopes since I ruined my diet for it. Since eating my stomach has been upset ☹️

A very good Indian, with quality service and food. I come here regularly whilst I am working in the area. Personal preference but the starters need a tiny bit more flavour to get 5* from me. Although, I still highly reccomend and will continue to return.

Bottles of cobra served warm and very expensive. Nan more crispy than anything. Main, rice barely warm and absolutely boring. Just no effort made and considering the high cost was so disappointing.

Having been to this restaurant for many years I am sorry to say it’s no longer good quality nor good value. I had a chicken shashlik which a few years ago they wouldn’t have served up. It was just bland and let’s say “fun sized” as the confectionary industry likes to call small portions. In addition the Peshawar nan bread was dry and more like a supermarket pre packed piece of cardboard, again a smaller portion than used to be the case. The bill was £60-ish. The take-a-way (if you forgive the pun) was small portion disappointing quality and not value for money.

Visited the Taj with a group of 15 friends. Have been before and expected something better than this. The service was slow, the food average and only like warm. Would have been nice to have got a smile from some of the waiters. We enjoyed our own company, so the evening wasn’t a complete failure, but I doubt my wife and I would choose to visit on our own.

Waited 90 minutes for food with no apology. Only excuses. When the food did arrive some was stone cold and some orders were wrong. Plates luke warm and quickly cold. Rice luke warm . Excuse after excuse made as to why the problems occurred. No apology at all. We never have a problem as a couple. They cannot cope with a large party.

1st time dining here. Can't fault the service, but food was quite disappointing, to be honest. The onion bhaji were dry and a bit on the overcooked side. My curry had far too much tamarind and tasted quite sour as a result. My sister ordered honey chicken, which was more like a pink coloured bhuna; very heavy on the coconut (she didn't eat much of it). Overall, there was a nice atmosphere, and service was speedy, but I don't think we will be in much of a rush to return. In fact, we all had dodgy stomachs the day after. Not a great sign. 😕

Sadly after deliberation I was not going to review. Food was cold, chicken was dry and tasteless. Sauce was oily like the stuff that gives you heart disease, the pakora was basically an over fried chicken nugget and was heavy batter with minuscule dry chicken! The Peshawary naan was bland and rubbery. I should have gone to Tesco boiled some chicken, wiped it on a nappy and tossed it in coriander for a better experience!! Dont get me started on the token salad!!

Nice looking place inside and decent gents which is a change. Food came not quite warm enough and the paneer naan had grated cheddar cheese on it! We asked the waiter who tried to sell us a line that it was Bangladeshi paneer then said it was Indian paneer, but it was certainly melted cheddar cheese.

Excellent meal here on Tuesday for my daughters birthday. Waiters were very attentive but not over the top, food was delicious and they even put on special music to bring out the cake (to my daughters embarrassment lol) and gave her a wee gift and card! The Tuesday banquet deal (which we didn't realise was on) was really good value for money, had plenty left over for my lunch the next day. My oldest daughter wants to go for her birthday too now. See you soon :)

Enjoyed a meal here (2 couples) in June 2023. We reserved a table for 7.30pm on a Friday night and were greeted quickly and shown to our table in the centre of the bustling restaurant. Quickly offered drinks (most of the beer and cider options from the menu were not available) and poppadoms. We ordered 4 main courses (all chef’s specialties), 4 rice and 3 naan breads. Service was quick and efficient (perhaps too intrusive a few times) but the food was hot, fresh and very good. Bill came to £125 with 2 drinks each - so not the cheapest/best value ever. Food was good though and we had a nice evening.

The food is not that great , the service is even worse. CHECK YOUR BILL. they tried to change prices , changing 2’s into 3’s and charged £4 for poppadoms. When confronted, he made up prices and refused to get the menu to show the correct prices. I would not recommend going to this restaurant. It is always empty, old decor.

Went for a birthday meal, quite busy bit that normally meals good food, but my partners food was cold. Sent back, not much hotter on the return. For a main dish mine on had 5 pieces of meat mixed chicken and lamb for £13, so higher than the £10 average, the lamb was tough, got the order wrong, I would say 40% of the group were happy with the food. Considering 2 of us one drinking and one only had a cake £80. Underwhelming.

This is such a shame to leave this, as loyal regulars of 12yrs +, we had a bad experience, wrong meals.. twice, no paneer in the sag paneer, minuscule amount of keema in the keema naan And smashed popadoms. We complained and assured they would give us a do over. Unfortunately the do over was even worse 😓 wrong meat dish again, no keema in the naan and a completely inedible starter - so charred and burnt we couldn’t bite through it. For us, we are done, after over a decade, I’m not sure what has changed so much for standards to be so poor. Don’t waste your money and go elsewhere!

Booked this restaurant for my Daughters birthday treat, sadly the food and hospitality was non existent. Having eaten Indian / Asian food for well over fifty years and often cook my own ,what we were given I would be very enbarrassed to serve to anyone,this restaurant needs to take a good look at itself . We were rushed by the staff from start to finish, my grandson was still eating his starter when our main course arrived, not a please,thank you from anyone . All we wanted was a nice relaxed evening and a decent meal but far from it. Get them in,get them out,take their money, never again.

The service is polite, there are a lot of staff, I mean a lot! One thing I would say is that I felt rushed. If you haven't seen someone for a while, you want to catch up, choosing menu items after 1 minute isn't going to happen. Overall, the food is good and I particularly liked the naan. The portions are adequate, temperature and taste are good. If you are looking for a different place to try it's worth giving a go and it's pretty standard fare for an Indian. Very middle of the road.

Simply awful. We arrived at approx 1800 and the restaurant was relatively empty. Left stood at the entrance with no welcome. We could see the staff and they could see us. But they continued with their own conversation. Eventually taken to the table with no smile or greeting. He asked if we require a table for 2 when I was stood with my wife and son! Ordered poppadoms for starters and they were soft. No crunch. Ordered drinks and waiter informs us that the small bottles of lager were not chilled so would provide large to share. 2 small bottles arrived at the table. Main meals were bland and tasteless. Never been to a restaurant where staff show no interest in the customer and service is carried with no communication. No one greets you, no one asks you if the you're enjoying the food, no one asks if you want another drink. After the poppadoms, the waiter (old chap with jet black hair), came to table with no acknowledgement or asked if we'd finished and simply started collecting the dishes. Amazed they have repeat custom. Very poor standard.

We arrived at 7.30 pm,before we sat down the staff were straight on us for drinks. Then straight away ordering our meals. We started with poppadoms and pickles. Before we even finished the staff brought out our starters. Just as we were about to finish the main course was brought out to us. I asked for time for a little break between meals, but ignored what I was saying. My meal was fine but my friends meal was a lamb dish which was tough. Bearing in mind we booked this table, when we arrived they were not sure where to sit us down. When we were sat down we were put by a young disruptive family who had no control over there children not a good experience.
