My partner is disabled and I just want to thank John for being so kind and helpful.during our visit there. On arrival John and another member of staff very kindly lifted my partners mobility scooter up the steps which allowed him to walk into restaurant with his walking stick.....we would never have managed without John and staff being so helpful. The food was first class and again John helped and advised us on our dishes. What we really liked was that we were not rushed and given ample time between courses. On leaving the scooter was taken down steps for us again. We will definately return to taj mahal when back in oban. The staff were amazing but John is an absolute credit to the restaurant . Thank you once again for making our evening so relaxed and pleasant. John & Margaret

I always avoided this restaurant because of the frontage. DONT, It's actually quite nice inside. But that doesn't excuse the tasteless curry I was presented. Honestly, it tasted like lentil soup. but that's just my opinion. Apart from the food not being overly hot, the others in my party enjoyed their orders. Another issue was the hand drier in the toilet, I breathe hotter and faster after a quick walk. Would I go back.....NO my dinner was well below average, but as I said others enjoyed theirs.

I ordered a balti and the dish that came was just loads of onions in a sauce which had no taste. It was not the lovely fresh flavours i am used to . My husband was a little better but still not the quality we expect. As we live in the midlands we are very aware of what authentic asian food should taste like and this wasn't it. The garlic nan had no garlic in it just garlic granules. Very disappointed.

Het eten was ronduit slecht. Een smakeloze butterchicken curry, naan(brood) vd Tesco. Het minimale bedrag wat je dient te besteden pp is GBP 15. Voor GBP 4.50 krijg je een schaaltje rijst, de naan was GBP 4.60 en de curry GBP 14. Helaas stonden deze prijzen niet in verhouding tot het eten. We hebben in heel veel landen verschillende curries gegeten maar dit was helaas toch echt de slechtste.

The worst restaurant I have ever experienced Firstly when I came in the staff was in a confused mindset weather to take or not to take us that was the most disgusting and more over when we got in and ordered the food it wasn’t even Indian flavour we ordered a lot stuff but only was saag paneer was good but rest of the stuff was not even cooked properly and then the story began the staff started explaining how it is not cooked so silly I being an Indian suggest not to go in please please not to visit it

We have been many, many times to this Taj Mahal. Not been for a wee while, what a disappointment. Decor and setting is lovely, clean , tidy and inviting. Staff were very pleasant too, although there was a bit on a language barrier. Now the food… Starters of mixed pakora platter with lemon & pepper mayonnaise sauce was nice, enough to share. I’ll break down the main meals here Tandoori Chicken on the bone: NO sauce would be served as it usually is. Trying to explain that there should be a Lentil Sauce fell on deaf ears. A sauce was suggested by the Waiter, however this did not complement the meal. The chicken certainly appeared to never been in a Tandoor oven EVER. It lacked taste and disappointment in general. Launguage problem again, so rice and sauce were charged separately. Coconut Nann Bread, certainly had coconut. When we pulled a piece off, yellow dry coconut flew everywhere. Also gave the appearance of never been insisted. Tandoor Oven. Chicken Tikka Masala. The chicken had been on a skewer but at risk of repeating myself, this I would dispute if it had seen the inside of a Tandoor. The sauce was deep burgundy, no cream or almonds to at least make it look appetising. Drinks. No Draught Beers/Lagers. The lager from a can was flat. Rum & coke. Can’t go wrong there. All in all this was not a nice experience and paying over £60 , we were robbed. On a positive note, the young waiter was attentive, pleasant and tried to help with menu. What a shame he has a poor grasp of English/ Scottish language.

Partner and I just had a nice meal in Taj Mahal. We had poppadoms and spicy onions and a vegetable pakora to share. We then had the chicken tikka masala and rogan Josh. We thoroughly enjoyed the entire meal. The spicy onions were too spicy though, thankfully a cool sauce was also served along with it. We had a naan bread to share - nicest naan bread we’ve ever had. Service was very good and humorous!

A lovely, inviting restaurant in Oban. My husband and I were on holiday and had chicken dopiaza, lamb bhuna, pilau rice, garlic naan and chips. The food was cooked well and tasted lovely, very authentic. This was as good as our favourite local Indian back home in Fife. If we're ever back in Oban, we'll be sure to return.

This is definitely a little gem and would highly recommend eating there. The staff are polite and helpful. The place is clean and the staff are quick to clear away when people have left. The food is excellent and so tasty , if doesn’t matter if you like milder curries or something a little more spicy. Although not really fitting with the Indian theme we both had a prawn cocktail to start. There was definitely no scrimping on the prawns. The same can be said for the amount of meat in the dishes. The Nan bread was really tasty also. We will definitely be going back again.

It was just okay. Ordered a curry and chef special of Bengali. Not a lot of flavor, definitely not the heat we wanted or expected. We’re two people from Midwest US. It’s not like we’re asking for full on heat. The older server was a bit abrupt even though there were only a few patrons. The young server was attentive and trying hard to please. Food and drinks did come out quickly.

Perfect Indian. While the reviews of the Indian in Fort William weren’t that good, and the first Indian place in Cohan was closed, we tried the new 2. And we did not regret it. Service is good. The staff is more than friendly, and the food is excellent. We had a dinner here with a starter portion of chicken tikka and chapati. And a lamb korma with peshwari naan. We shared a section of poppadums and pickles. Excellent food. Good ambiance and decent pricing. Along with excellent service. What do you wish for? I do know what the Indian served that was closed. But it can't be better than this one. The service really made the difference here. Honestly, the best I have been in a long, long time.

The Taj Mahal in Oban is a very good choice for dinner. The staff were very pleasant and efficient. I was in solo but a table was made up immediately even though it was a busy night and service was attentive. There is very good choice for vegetarians - I really enjoyed the pickles and condiments that came with the poppadoms - the pickles etc were a step above the normal you get. The vegetable korma was nice, with potatoes and green beans amongst other veg. A glass of cold house white wine to wash it down with was very good too. Good value for money - really nice restaurant with natural light flooding in large windows. I really enjoyed it.

I was hesitant from the reviews. Don’t be, the food was delicious, some of the best Indian dishes I’ve ever tasted. Busy, yes so book ahead just like everywhere else in Oban or Scotland for that matter. The Peshwari Naan was exceptional, I called it a pillow of love! I enjoyed it so much I came back my third night. My only regret is I didn’t come the first night in Oban.

My opinion would be to avoid this restaurant .. we went for a meal on 29th June 2023 and the experience was not a pleasant one .. greeted by the manager who was rude and seemed to have little time and manners to customers .. we ordered chicken tikka masala but were given lamb when we informed them they thought it was out fault then checked and confirmed they got it wrong .. we didn't accept a replacement meal .. would advice to look for a better place to eat in the area .. manners were deplorable

Likes it so much went back twice in a row. Everyone thinks the know Indian style food and we’re the same..BUT this was good food ! Large portions so don’t over order. The portions are not skimped or bulked our with cheaper ingredients. The place is light and airy. It looked clean. The staff were polite and appropriately attentive. I’ve no idea how they serve the food as fast as they did. I’m used to waiting much longer to get served. Ive genuinely waited longer at McDonald’s than we waited for our starter ! Well done guys. The prices were good. For the folks thinking it’s expensive../ I’ve no idea how they think this as it’s basically standard Indian restaurant prices! Rice was light and fluffy and good quality long grains. It was just proper good curry! Shame we live so far away or I’d go back. Thanks guys.

Was in this curry house last night for dinner with my wife. We were ripped off food wise and financialy. They brought our curries but forgot to bring our starters. They told us they would take the starters off our bill (well ofcourse you will...

Mi novio y yo comimos aquí después de un largo día de viaje. El servicio fue bueno, el personal fue amable y se adhirió bien al protocolo COVID 19. El restaurante estaba tranquilo, así que nos sirvieron rápidamente. Pedimos todo nuestro pedido al mismo tiempo, para poder pastar. El camarero fue muy atento y ofreció mucha información y recomendaciones sobre los platos. Opté por el pato tikka, que venía en una sartén chisporroteante, era para morirse. Nunca he visto pato en un menú indio, pero lo recomiendo encarecidamente. Toda la comida que nos dieron estaba deliciosa. Los baños estaban impecables, al igual que el resto del restaurante.

Estábamos buscando un lugar para comer en nuestra visita a Oban y como a los dos nos encanta la comida india. Optamos por el Taj Mahal ya que el otro que tenía mejores críticas no estaba abierto debido al covid. El restaurante era muy tranquilo y no había mucho ambiente. El camarero fue atento y explicó lo que había en los platos y lo calientes que estaban. Yo diría que la comida era normal y he probado mucho mejor comida india en el pasado.

went to have a meal here and was just walking past the alley way leading down the side when we seen someone from the kitchen by the door having a cigarette with his clothes absolutely covered in mess from the kitchen.

Muy decepcionado. Salió por primera vez desde el cierre. Realmente anhelaba una buena comida india. Reservamos con anticipación, pero nos colocaron en una mesa justo en el camino al lado de un gran grupo de fiestas y una pared que estaba empapada con lo que parecía lodo gris. Entre los dos nos dieron una servilleta que partimos por la mitad para compartir. Pedimos una selección de comida para poder comerla estilo tapas. El curry no estaba a la altura de las expectativas que tenía para la comida. También se equivocaron en nuestro pedido, lo que pensé, bueno, ocurren errores. Luego, cuando nos íbamos, pedí que nos llevaran la comida, ya que pedimos demasiado. Dijo que estaba bien, pero luego, cuando lo pedimos, dijeron que lo habían tirado todo. Se ofreció a hacernos cosas nuevas. lo cual fue amable de su parte, pero el servicio fue tan lento y espantoso que solo quería salir de allí. Toda la prueba no valió la pena y desearía no darles propina antes de descubrir que tiraron toda nuestra comida a la basura. No regresaré ni aconsejaré a nadie que cene allí.

The food is always good as is the service in the Taj Mahal. Never had any reason other than to be very happy with everything.

갈릭 난과 카레가 인상적인 인도식 식당이었습니다. 절대로 자극적이지도 않으면서 인도의 느낌을 물씬 살린 식당이었습니다.

Amargamente decepcionante. ¿Para llevar? Ojalá lo hubiera dejado atrás.Nunca he estado antes, y no volveré!Suave, insípido y sin una gota de condimento, y carente de cualquier sabor de especias decente. Biriyani: sin sultanas, sin sabor. Sabía casi lo mismo que el arroz especial que no era tan especial. El cordero, tanto en el Biriyani como en el Rogan Josh, no tenía sabor a especias y sabía a cordero cocido que se había agregado en el último minuto. Contamos 5 trozos de gambas triturados en el King Prawn Rogan Josh, que para 9. 95 no fue genial. ¡Y creo haber detectado trozos de coles de Bruselas en la salsa de curry de verduras servida con el Biriyani! ? La raita de pepino era yogur natural con unas rodajas de pepino, sin ajo, sin hierbas. Se había dividido ligeramente al colocarse encima de platos calientes, dándole una textura viscosa que agrega la falta de sabor dado solo los dos ingredientes. ¡Me preguntaba si realmente había comido comida india de verdad! ?

Hay tres restaurantes indios en Oban, y todos parecían tener buenas críticas. Optamos por el Taj Mahal, ya que era el más cercano a nuestro hotel, y era una noche helada.Al ser un lunes, fue bastante tranquilo cuando llegamos, y durante nuestra visita algunas personas iban y venían.Comenzamos con Poppadums y mi esposo eligió Vegetable Pakoras como su comienzo. Esta fue una porción generosa, y estaban sabrosos, pero también estaban muy grasientos.Para los platos principales, mi marido tenía el pollo Madras con arroz Pilau y Naan llano. Elegí el Akbori Chicken Masala, sin arroz o naan, (como yo tampoco), y compartimos una Raita. La Madras no era como ninguna de las Madras que ninguno de los dos haya visto antes: la salsa parecía una lata de Sopa de Tomate Heinz, y no era tan ardiente o sabrosa como cualquier Madras que también usemos. Aprecio que puede haber diferencias en la forma en que diferentes establecimientos preparan platos, pero esta salsa fue más que una broma, y fue realmente decepcionante.Mi Akbori Chicken Masala, por otro lado, estaba delicioso, lleno de sabor y tenía una consistencia encantadora, aunque realmente hubiera esperado que hubiera más de 5 pedazos pequeños de pollo.Para empeorar las cosas, la Raita era simplemente yogurt; de nuevo, nunca antes habíamos tenido a Raita así. Siempre contiene pepino y menta, u ocasionalmente hemos tenido una raita de tomate. Fue especialmente decepcionante para mí, ya que como no puedo comer arroz o pan fue mi único acompañamiento para mi plato principal.El servicio fue eficiente, pero no particularmente amable.Cuando llegamos a casa después de nuestro descanso de 4 días, en realidad hice mi propio Chicken Madras desde cero (lo que he estado haciendo durante 40 años) y mi propio Riata solo para confirmarnos cómo debería ser.Así que, lamentablemente, debo decir que nos decepcionó sobre todo y deseamos haber probado uno de los otros restaurantes indios de la ciudad.

Sometimes you need to be exceptional to stamp your mark in a small town and despite it being a cold october night the taj mahal was fairly busy. A few tables plus takeaways were keeping staff busy. A friendly welcome was followed by a quick service. A nice mahkani masala with rice and mixed pakora were appreciated!!

Visited for dinner, one of the few places in Rothesay where you can sit in for food after 8pm. Had a look in before and discovered it was a BYOB place so went to the Co-Op and bought a few beers to take with us. Have the chefs platter to start with very very tasty and a nice mix. Lamb biryani for the main, slightly grease but quite a lot of good size lamb pieces. Definitely worth a visit.
