Taj Clubhouse in Mendip

Krishna jossiya bheeban and surdasun. I had a very nice stay at the Taj Clubhouse and the staff were very accommodating.

There are a lot of Indian restaurants where you feel the food is just being microwaved from packs but here you're absolutely getting what feels like the real deal ... cooked fresh and delicious couldn't recommend more the dahl and vegetable sides particularly good value.. and they take a generous view of how large a side dish should be which is good. Owner De and his staff should be proud of themselves

Staff members are really good professionals. They serve the highest quality of the food that I experienced in Indian restaurants. Thank you guys and I wish this restaurant will grow and serve in more locations. 👍

What a great place this is. Went on a Friday night after booking a table and was stuck in traffic, the restaurant was very accommodating when I called them and let them know we would be delayed. We were seated by a nice log fire, and the atmosphere is very cosy but at the same time not crowded. The service was just right and timing of food and drink refills where needed were perfect. The food was amazing, and made the visit completely worth it - the best butter chicken I have had in a long time. I would definitely visit again, and the staff are some of the most hospitable you will find.

Watlington is a perfect place for a city break. In this charming place you can find Taj Clubhouse restaurant and make your travel even more amazing. Taj Clubhouse is cosy and lovely place. Really delicious and fresh dishes served with love. Service is just brilliant. For me it was like a trip to India to explore new taste experience. I tasted few menu’s positions and it was delicious. Portions were huge so I could enjoy the food next day too. I would love to highly recommend this restaurant. For sure I will be back again. Thank you!

The Taj Restaurant is in a listed building on the High Street in Watlington. Intimate, welcoming and excellent examples of Indian cuisine. The Butter Chicken and Lamb Korma were beautifully paired with the Lemon Rice. A touch of heat in the chicken offset the creamy sweetness of the Korma. An attentive staff and charming owner insured our every desire was attended to. Another jewel in this small town worth a visit anytime. Just be sure to stay for dinner at The Taj.

Delicious food as always, presented beautifully. Wonderful flavours, combined to perfection. We were made to feel most welcome in a relaxing atmosphere, nothing was too much trouble. Will be back for another visit very soon!

Lovely! We really love the food and the service is always friendly and efficient! Highly recommended!

Absolutely gorgeous food and incredibly welcoming, felt super comfortable and looked after. The food was AMAZING! Thank you so much for having us 💚

Great place to have amazing Indian food. The staff were extremely friendly, atmosphere was really great . Thank you so much for the amazing food

I held a private 40th birthday gathering at Taj Clubhouse for 25 guests, and would highly recommend the restaurant for a special occasion or for a delicious meal or takeaway even without a particular reason to celebrate. The team were very accommodating, designing a menu for the celebration, allowing us to decorate however we wished and they made the lovely bar area available to us for welcome drinks, with very attentive staff. We then moved to the main restaurant for a 4 course meal of delicious fresh food, with the selection of starters (samosas, bhajis) on sharing platters a real highlight, as well as the Kashmiri Lamb Rogan Josh for the main course. It was a lovely evening and the guests all complimented the meal and atmosphere. One to visit!

We visited the restaurant last Saturday and had the most amazing time ever! The food was outstanding, a very authentic taste of India served generously on a plate with all the traditional love and care that one associates with the great country. Apart from the equisite taste of the dishes, what stood out for us was the minute details of their plating and also how wonderfully subtle their presentation was coming from the wonderfully talented catering team. The variety of the menu is also quite outstanding, serving both a wide range of starters and mains, all of which maintain a character traditionally found in the kitchens of Calcutta or Mumbai! There is a conscious effort to blend the rich traditional traits with the relevant elements of this day and age! As an example, the samosa, which is a traditional starter, finds a modern day twist as the chefs convert that into a delightful version called the samosa-chat, that goes very well with a chilled class of Cobra! The ambiance is subtly different from any 'run of the mill' Indian restaurant, as it beautifully blends an old world charm with the comforts of modern dining! All in all, a truly delightful culinary experience that we would want an encore very very soon! As a token of our appreciation, we are sharing a few photos of the eclectic array of dishes that we had the pleasure of consuming on Saturday!!! With love and best wish and a desire to visit again real soon, we wish the team the very best!

This neighbourhood restaurant elevates the curry to fine cuisine and is a true gem. Somehow, every swallow has twice as much fresh flavour as anything I've ever experienced before. You won't regret it if you give it a try. Very friendly owners! Must try if you passing by or planning a family event 😍

Great place to have amazing Indian food ..The staff were extremely friendly, atmosphere was really great .The menu contain different varieties of regional specialities of India which is absolutely stunning. Thank you so much for the amazing food

Lot of Veg options, Monk Fish was delicious. They have food from all over India. I visited as part of business and the Taj team made sure that my guests were impressed and happy!

We have been here many times, but sińce Gosia & De took over last month, it’s on a diferent level altogether now. The new menu looks absolutely stunning. We had the Rajasthani Laal Maas and the will halibut, follwed by the new talk of the...

On Saturday we once again had an oustanding meal fro Taj Clubhouse for three of us. Without doubt this is by far the best Indian food - probably in Oxfordshire!

We have a very pleasant visit to this wonderful restaurant. Amazing food, I will return anytime soon.

Have just finished eating at the Taj Clubhouse. Would go as far to say that it was some of the best curry I’ve had and all complimented by personable staff who you feel care about each customer and their experience. Well done 👏🏼

I am not a great lover of Indian food BUT I have been converted. The food here is second to none, the menu is very comprehensive even pointing out what's hot and what's not. The staff are very helpful and obliging . Overall I had...

This is a great restaurant, the food is beautifully prepared, fantastic flavours and excellent quality. It’s fabulous that they deliver straight to your door but do yourself a favour and enjoy a meal in their intimate and friendly restaurant, you won’t be disappointed.

Taj Clubhouse is now under the leadership of De and Gosia and they have relaunched with a new menu. The food is of a high standard and I would recommend you give it a try. Here's my thoughts on the samples we had - an...

We are local Watlington residents and always bring visiting friends here for the brilliant food and friendly atmosphere. The food is consistently of a very high quality as well as being beautifully presented and the staff are warm and welcoming. They also have fantastic vegetarian...

This was the best Indian food I have had in a long time, and the best takeaway. It was the first time we have tried Taj. We were lured by a promotional leaflet through our door advertising that they now do deliveries. We ordered online,...

The Taj have always focused on a high quality menu with free range locally sourced produce and authentic dishes. They have relaunched their menu this week ( June 28th 2022) with some new exciting additions! The Vodka Paani poori was amazing and has to be...

I have used the Taj since it first opened. I am a member of the Memorial Club and thought I’d give the Taj a try when it first opened and I have to say the food has always been fantastic and personally I have had...

While spending an evening in Watlington on a quiet Sunday night, when the pub we were staying in wasn’t serving food, came across the Taj. Received a warm welcome and had the best Indian food we’d had in some time. Highly recommend!

3 hours to deliver!! Manager phoned at 2.5hr mark to order 20% off next order. Not even any complimentary papadums even after going back to the kitchen to cook apparently. Korma quite spicy - wouldn’t be able to feed to children if don’t like spice....

We first discovered Taj Clubhouse through Just Eat. The food was lovely, so we decided to venture to the restaurant itself. It exceeded expectations, the restaurant is well-decorated and perfect for a date night. The service was friendly and the food was excellent quality. Beautifully...

Have been to The Taj twice in the past week and the food has been incredible, really good flavours and levels of spice. The service is also top standard, really friendly staff and so helpful. Would 100% recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting or living...

Recently dined here with my family and can’t fault them at all. Fantastic food, great service and lovely atmosphere. Will be back soon x

Ordered food for collection over the phone. Was told would be ready in40 minutes. Arrived just on time! The bearded barman/front of house manager ignored me standing at the bar, for 6 minutes. He was too busy chatting to his mate. Just before that I...

Ordered meal online at 4:30pm. Went to collect it at 5:15pm and had to wait until 5:40pm. In an empty restaurant that has just opened at 5pm, why was it such a long wait? Only once it was ready did he tell me that the...

Really delicious food, you won't find a better Indian! The starter platers are generous and have to be tried.

I've travelled throughout the Indian sub-continent and no meal comes close to the Taj Clubhouse in Watlington. The food is excellent, the flavours exquisite and the staff and ambience delightful. Five of us went for the first time last night and we are all agreed...

Warm and friendly atmosphere in a very old building. Very professional service. However, what sets this restaurant apart is the quality of the food. This is NOT your average Indian restaurant. All dishes we had burst with flavours and both the chicken and the lamb...

Had a take-out, so can't say much about the restaurant itself, except that service was very friendly and polite. The food was the real star: tasty, vibrant, interesting, and in every respect thoroughly enjoyable. I would say this was some of the best Indian food...

Delicious meal last night. Beautifully presented. Great to see the restaurant so busy - glad we booked (albeit only an hour beforehand). Warm, friendly atmosphere (what else would you expect in Watlington!)

Visited on a quiet Tuesday evening - proprietor and waitress couldn't have been more friendly - and the food was outstanding. We went for the set meal for 2 - highly recommended, the taste of the meats really shone through - testament to their local...

Wanted a new experience out of Oxford for our Date Night and stumbled across this restaurant on OpenTable so thought we would give it a try. So comfortable with the chosen chairs as shown in the picture- really relaxing boutique/chic feel about the place. Cosy...

We had a big takeaway order for 11 people over the bank holiday weekend and not only was the food delicious, every single item was accounted for. Not a single complaint from anyone in the group and we shall definitely be returning!

Have been trying to catch up with friends for a while. The restaurant provided a lovely ambience, the food was delicious ( especially the palak) and to top it off the staff were professional, knowledgable and welcoming. Time ran away with us! We were there...

Now, the split second of walking into this place it was instant relaxed ambiance, welcoming & good feeling! Now, as always, I was concerned about how the lamb dish would turn out as there are a lot of chefs out there who get it wrong,...

Delicious food, the chicken used in the currys was particularly moist and tender. Great customer service, friendly and helpful. Will definitely be going back!

This was our first Dining in experience in this new local restaurant. We had ordered takeaway previously which was lovely but decided with the restaurants opening back up that it was time to head out to the actual venue. The restaurant was very busy &...

Booked a table in advance. We were sat for >15minutes without being seen by staff. I looked around and noticed many of the tables did not yet have any food. As we were contemplating leaving, a woman had approached the bar and informed the staff...

An interesting menu, a bit different, and the spice ratings clearly marked. Plenty of vegetarian and fish for those who don't want meat. The servings were plentiful and very nice. The restaurant is on the ground floor of an old house, which must have been...

We had a bad experience with Taj earlier in the year because it took them over 2 hrs to deliver our food. We were keen to support local business and give them another go. My sister came to stay, having not seen her for 2...

Really enjoyed our meal here. Fresh poppadums and pickles including an amazing tamarind chutney while we looked at the menu. Lots of vegetarian choices - the black daal is a must. Everything is so fresh, tasty and different from other Indian restaurants. Really liked the...

Lovely welcome, very tasty food, real spices in the food, worth a visit. Not been open long, so really need a boost from the public.

An incredible meal: fresh and more importantly, not greasy-just full of flavour. We had a great evening with attentive staff, a great ambiance and tasteful decor. Would highly recommend and will be back next weekend 😊

Absolutely amazing place with amazing and friendly staff. They have a wide range of delicious food and drink on the menu. Would definitely recommend for a meal or just a snack. They have a lovely little garden to eat outside or a very calming area...

An outstanding effort by this relatively new (November) restaurant owned by 2 business partners with previous experience of owning and running Indian restaurants. Food and service were superb and the ambience was delightful, the restaurant being hosted in a handsome Georgian building in picturesque Watlington....

Im rarely one to write a review but this place is an absolute gem !! from start to finish, the hospitality,food the atmosphere is just outstanding,when we thought things could get no better they presented a cake after realising it was my husbands birthday!! Will...

Had dinner here on Sunday July 11th. A memorable occasion. The food was delicious, the dining room attractive. Our host Abdul, who hails from the Tollygunge locality of Calcutta which I visited awhile ago, was most informative and hospitable. Altogether a delightful evening.

Great authentic Indian cuisine in a cozy, warm atmosphere, couldn't ask for anything more! The service was wonderful, we felt like royalty. The price was great for the quality. I'll definitely be returning for round 2 and I certainly recommend it to anyone and everyone.

The Taj Clubhouse dud us proud with an amazing surprise birthday party for my wife. We worked with them to make a bespoke menu which delighted all the guests. The service was top notch! The restaurant is an intimate setting and the boys have created...

Seriously cannot recommend this place enough, everything from the food to the atmosphere and even the hospitality we received upon dining in, am definitely going to returning as soon as humanly possible. For anyone in the area this is a must try!!

The atmosphere and food was incredible. Would definitely recommend! I came here with my family and they all loved it, will be coming again to try out more of the menu

Thought we would give it a go, unfortunately it was not to our liking and only once delivered did we realise that some items were missing from the order. The four of us only tried a few mouthfuls before discarding it in the bin. We...

We have always loved this space. Old English, cosy. And the Taj clubhouse fits right in. The food here is lovingly curated and well considered. No MSG or additives. The best madras I have ever had. And the most heavenly and attentive team. We went...

Went here last week. Staff really friendly and helpful. Food was excellent - really recommend the Veg Platter! Curries were great too. Had a takeaway from here a few months back also and again really good curries. Would highly recommend.

Very welcoming as soon as you are seated and offered a drink immediately. Nice selection of dishes and the staff were happy to give advice when asked. Food itself was so tasty, definitely the best we'd had in a long time! Very friendly all evening...

We've had several takeaways from the Taj clubhouse during lockdown. The food is consistently good quality, and outside of the usual cliches.

We were a party of 6 who visited on Saturday night (22nd May) and we all thoroughly enjoyed our meal and our experienced at Taj. We all chose different options and were all impressed with the taste and quality

Amazing food and service cannot fault! I know my way around a curry and the food presented here was top notch. Generous portions, authentic taste and friendly, attentive service. We booked an early slot for a table of 6. We were unhurried and made to...

I was told by a friend that the Raj is really good, a new curry house in Watlington. The prices seemed to be a bit above average. The starter I had was crisp Squid rings with chilli mayo, but I didn't receive the chilli mayo,...

1st time here and very pleasantly surprised, food is amazingly delicious and not your usual run off the mill Indian. Friendliness and helpfulness of staff is also excellent. Can't wait to come back!!

It was my first time visiting the Taj Clubhouse and I will definitely be returning! The food was delicious, I can’t recommend enough. I also had a mojito which was equally as delicious!!

Customer service bordered on rude when I asked for a portion of chips. The chips are nice but is let down by 1 member of staff.

WOW! Such a wonderful surprise - we had no expectations but were blown away by the flavours and quality of the delicious dishes we ordered. Anyone who hasn’t tried Taj Clubhouse I recommend you try it out soon you will not be disappointed. I recommend...

Fantastic flavours, not your average curry house. Each dish is beautiful crafted and put together. There are no shortcuts and you can taste the quality of the meat and ingredients used. You can get stoggy curry anywhere, or you can pay a little extra and...

Refined Indian techniques and traditional flavours feature in all the dishes we have tried. Classic tikka masala to fish moilee. So many delicious choices and a great addition to our local thriving high street. Highly recommend to anyone who enjoys contemporary Indian cuisine.

Just had our second delivery from this local gem and it just gets better. Fantastic fresh and original dishes that are a total delight. It won’t be long before I ask them to try to find my house again!

Welcome to Watlington!!! Ordered from the The Taj Clubhouse for the first time last night. All we can say is WOW! So glad we don’t have to get into a car to go get fantastic Indian food. You can tell the chef and the team...

Each dish was authentic and a treat - a true upgrade on standard a Indian for a more than reasonable price!

We ordered from this new restaurant because we were tempted by their menu which had more authentic Indian food and less 'British Indian' food. Really delicious and highly recommended. Such a refreshing change from all the bog standard Indian restaurants you get in the UK....

First time visit and seriously impressed with the quality of the food and flavours. I’m not even a big fan of Indian food however will certainly be a regular visitor. Onion bhajis, lamb kebabs, salmon (personal favourite) and green tikka were all excellent. Very friendly...

I can’t begin to tell you how happy I am to now have an Indian restaurant/takeaway of this quality that also delivers. We had a delivery tonight and wow! It’s properly authentic Indian cuisine. The Butter Chicken was incredible and comparable to Dishoom. Overall, I...

Our 1st experience of the Taj Club House was on Friday with a delivery. These guys are a couple of months old and are learning the ropes by their own admission and willing to improve. There was a delay as they were swamped with orders...

It's always a risk trying a new take-away curry restaurant instead of a long established favourite. In this case it was a risk which paid off big time. There is a very skilled hand at work in the kitchen here. The spicing is delicate and...
