Lovely meal while visiting the area for a couple days. We decided to sit in and were pleased we did. The staff were very friendly and attentive. The menu had a wide selection of different curry’s. Our favourite part was the masala fries and the garlic naan.

I have been to most of the Indian restaurants in Glasgow and near by but while driving to Dunoon, we saw this place and thought to ourselves should we try Indian food here. Well it turned out to be one of best places I have had Indian food, but their service was just excellent. They kept my 2 yr old son entertained by giving him something or other. when I think of Indian places I never expect that kind of hospitality but they were too good.

I would challenge you to eat worse food in Scotland. Fiery hot means less spice than a cucumber 🥒 The sauce is so thick you need a knife to cut it and sticks to your throat so you gag. That's the good bit as the tiny amount of chicken is dryer than the Sahara dessert. It was also not very warm. This seriously must be close to the worst resteraunt in Scotland and no coffee deserts or starts was over 60 quid. It's a shame trip advisor does not allow 0 stars it really is that bad

The Taj Mahal in Gourock is truly a gem! Every visit is an outstanding experience, from the warm and welcoming atmosphere to the incredible food. The staff, especially Hardeep, go above and beyond to make you feel at home, offering friendly, attentive service without ever being intrusive. The menu is full of mouth-watering options, and every dish we’ve tried has been packed with authentic flavour, cooked to perfection, and beautifully presented. You can really tell how much care and pride goes into every meal. The consistency and quality here are second to none, making it our absolute favourite restaurant. Whether it’s a special occasion or just a casual night out, the Taj Mahal always delivers a five-star experience. We’re so lucky to have such a fantastic place right on our doorstep. Highly recommend to anyone looking for delicious food, a cosy atmosphere, and exceptional service!

Recommend this place by a friend. It didn't disappoint. The staff were very helpful. The food - well we ordered too much as it turned out. Starters, poppadoms and main courses. Bet good value for money.

We got a takeaway from here for a party of 20 on Saturday night. I only called the order in on Thursday evening but they were more than happy to provide some food for our party. Customer service & price were great. The food was amazing, everyone at the party commented on how good it was and most people had 2nds! 100% recommend.

watery sauce in garlic mushrooms probably because of the cooked lemon that was in it and it had onions in it, which didn't expect. Samosas were OK but only luke warm. chickpea sauce with them was delicious. mains were good.

Have used the Taj for takeaway for a while now and had several recommendations to try sit-in, glad we did. Service great, when one dish proved too spicy, Rai offered to change it for something else (unprompted). Nothing was a problem. Great to see good old fashioned customer service still exists. There’s always a chance something might not turn out right, but with the service in this restaurant, a good chance it’ll be sorted out in jig time. Worth a visit 👍

Great food. Shame it takes them hours to deliver. In one case it was over 4 hours! We actually ordered a pizza in the end because we couldn't wait and had the curry the next day. If you don't mind waiting an average of of 90 minutes for a delivery (that isn't free) then go for it. We're pretty much done with them now.

Ordered fish ceylonese curry and lamb chilli bhuna as these were both listed as hot & we also requested for them to be extra hot/ spicy... we did not enjoy either. Both were overly sweet. Even my father in law who doesn’t like spicy food tried and thought they were very sweet. The fish curry had batter- seemed like they had used fish pakora in it resulting in soggy gloopy batter within the curry and slimy jelly like fish. Although described as having coconut, it was like descinated coconut was used. It was thick, stoggy and very unpleasant. The chilli lamb bhuna was nothing like a bhuna I have ever tasted before; it was like tomato soup with extra sugar and there was certainly no taste of the “plenty ginger, onion, garlic & green chillis” it was described as. The lamb was described as "tender" but was the complete opposite. It was very dry, there was probably two pieces that weren't full of inedible hard grizzle and it was much like chewing on an old boot or how I would imagine an old boot to be! Neither of the dishes tasted remotely authentic nor were they enjoyable. The mince paratha was tasteless, bland with no seasoning and part of it was doughy/ uncooked. Meal was a big disappointment and waste of money. We checked the reviews after (had previously just skimmed the first few before ordering) and noticed someone mentioning a similar experience with their fish curry.

Fab family run business. Large choice on menu or can ask for recommendations. Good idea to book as very popular. Catered for gluten free. Wines, beers and spirits and soft drinks. The medium dishes are quite hot (spicy) and arrive on sizzle dishes. Some already come with rice so be careful not to over order extra rice like we did but we were given takeaway containers to take home the excess food. Some on street parking free after 6pm. Take away available. Very friendly and helpful staff. Highly recommended.

Placed the order at 18:10. ETA for delivery was 19:10 to 19:20. The food was delivered at 20:30. The restaurant was contacted twice for a delivery update, to be told the drive had left 30 minutes ago which was 19:00 and have no way to find out the location of the order. The food was warm when it arrived not piping hot. Maybe the reason for this was it was in transit for over an hour. We will not be using this company again.

Ok so I’ve been sampling the menu bit by bit but my birthday dinner was my first experience of eating in the restaurant in years, easily ten years maybe more There were 7 of us for dinner on a Sunday evening and the place was really busy. The staff decorated the table and not only did they supply me with birthday cake but I also got a lovely tub of roses as well :) Poppadoms and spiced onions were complimentary while we browsed the extensive menu and ordered our drinks Everyone managed to find something that appealed to them, my mum loves Indian food sadly unable to eat anything with spice anymore so she opted for the Maryland chicken and prawn cocktail, my lamb chops were amazing and cooked perfectly they may look well done but the meat itself was perfectly medium, we mixed up our starters so everyone was trying different things and then onto our mains, we ordered far too much rice and naan breads the portions were huge. All of the different curries went down well and even took home some doggy bags. Considering the quality of the food and the outstanding service this is not what we would call an expensive meal for the family, however in the local area some people think it’s on the higher price end. It hasn’t been voted Scotland’s best restaurant in the curry awards for nothing !! With the birthday cake and the amount of food we had for starters and mains only one of the party decided to have desserts on this occasion but we are already planning another visit in the new year.

Taste of the food was very nice. The korma had a tiny spice edge, which was great. The chicken portion was a little too small for £13 for me. Plenty of sauce but I did leave hungry despite the starter and main with naan to share. The naan was a good size though I will say that. I don't think I would choose to go back but I had a nice evening. Certainly worth a try if you fancy a curry.

Eat at the Taj Mahal 2-3 times a month with the occasional carry out as well. We always have an excellent meal. It is certainly our go-to place when we need a pick up after work or just can't be bothered to cook. We've tried the supposed 'quality' restaurants such as the new Scott's in Greenock with its stunning location, but for us the food is poor quality for what they are charging. The Taj is consistently good quality at a reasonable price point. The staff are excellent and always cater to any requests we may have.

We visited Priyas Palace for a 60th birthday celebration on the 14th February 2025. I popped in earlier in the evening to check if we needed to book for a table a 8pm for 7 people, as we expected it to be quite busy. We were told we did not need to book. When we arrived we received a warm welcome and shown to our table. It was not that busy. They took drink orders and brought back popadums and chutneys, etc. Once the drinks were delivered they took our food order. We ordered 3 mixed platters to start, which were good. I ordered the Chicken Jalfrezi, we shared a few rice and vegetable dishes. I found the sauce to have to much tomato flavour, but other than that it was nice. The staff were friendly and efficient.

I didn't eat this kind of tastless food in my life.Me and my friends Tried Chicken and lamb biriyani from this restaurant, and it doesn't have any taste of Biriyani and we didn't eat atleast half of the portion. I tried a lot of indian restaurants unfortunately this one is the worst taste of Biriyani. I will not suggest this Restaurant to anyone who is on hungry and wish to try a good taste of Biriyani flavour.
