Myself and my friend ate here at the weekend and thoroughly enjoyed it. First meal out since lockdown ended! The food was gorgeous, all really fresh and hot even though they were busy with both restaurant and take-aways. The staff were all lovely and attentive even though as I've said it was busy. The refurbishment is fab too, the new decor is lovely. Will be back again soon.

Have used the Taj Mahal - eat in and take away - for years, and have never been disappointed....until last night.Ordered a take away for the family and everything seemed wrong, from the various curries to the honey chicken wings which were more like strips of chicken pakora and pashwani nan which resembled a plain nan which had seen better days.The finaL straw was the stomach upset which followed the chicken passanda.Not sure if there's a new chef on board, but would strongly recommend that the usual chef be reinstated as a matter of urgency.

Superb meal with our son and his partner. We've ordered many times for takeaway but this was the first visit. Lovely modern decor, great service, food lived up to expectations and, given these difficult times, the whole experience was relaxed throughout.We're local and we totally recommend to visitors.Loved it!!

Hadn't used "The Taj" for a couple of years but decided to head down for dinner last minute . Food it has to be said was excellent. I tried the parsee fish dish and was incredibly tasty. The other two dishes; lamb butter masala and chicken nashilee were equally as tasty. The mixed starter for 3 was well worth the money. All washed down with a couple of beers. Good value for money also. Would definitely return soon if food is at this standard. Only downside as people have mentioned is the constant stream of takeaway meals being sent out. Slightly ruins the experience but don't think there is much they could do about that. At least it shows the food is good quality with amount of orders.

Bought a carry out and when I got home, the riata was bubbling, like fermenting beer. Must have been left over from last night outside the fridge. Smelled horrible. Likewise the peshwari nan, as usual it was like leather. The curries themselves are nice, such a pity they cut corners to squeeze an extra buck. Place is busy enough to do well without this nonsense. Been a few occasions when I get home and part of the order is missing. Cant think of any local competition, it tells!

We (a table for four) waited an hour and 35 minutes for our meal. Meanwhile bags of takeaway food were constantly whizzing past us. We felt that we were in a takeaway shop rather than a restaurant. No tablecloths any more, no little vases on the table. Just formica tables. No music and absolutely no ambience. The service was non existant and trying to catch someone to order up some drinks as they whizzed past with bags to all the people standing round waiting for their carry outs was impossible. Wont be back.

If you like the smell of bleach as you enter, or pushy table service... perhaps a table next to a waiter on his break eating a Dominos pizza from the box or a view of a conveyor belt of takeaways being distributed through the middle of the restaurant floor - then this is the place for you. Never again for us. Food was underwhelming too. Good view of the Clyde though.

Hadn’t eaten here for a very long time but had always enjoyed it so decided to go back. As usual, the buffet was excellent. The starters are freshly prepared before you go and choose. The choice is large and the food is very good quality. You get a freshly made nan bread of your choice brought to your table before you go and select your mains. There was a good choice and we could also get more starters at the same time which we really enjoyed. The service was good and friendly. We all really enjoyed our meals. The buffet cost £12.90 per person which is good value. Highly recommended!!

I called the restaurant at 6.30 pm to order a carry out meal and I would pick it up myself. I was informed by the manageress that it would be a 35-40 minute wait as the restaurant was busy. By my counting the food would be ready for pick up at 7.10 pm. I already had picked up Chinese food from another restaurant nearby. I had 2 young children in the car also. Eventually after asking the waiting staff 4 times my food was brought to me at 7.55 pm.( 1 hour 25 minutes after ordering). If it's going to take that long for food please tell me and I'll decide if I want to wait that long and plan my night accordingly. There were lots of carry out food coming from the kitchen but I think this was the Just eat deliverys, to keep the ratings up. I approached the manageress to let her know how i and another 6 disgruntled customers standing at the door felt and she just said that they were busy. Set realistic targets on busy nights please.

Ordered two tubs of madras sauce from the The Taj Mahal in Gourock for my son & myself to be delivered . When my son finally finished work which was around 11 o’clock we decided to eat our meals, we discovered that the tubs were only round about half full. Usually when ordering I have to remind them to fill the containers . I tried to call them just after 11 o’clock even though they were open I couldn’t get anyone to answer my call. Very disappointed with this service so have rated it poor.

Was taken hear for my birthday for the buffet! Got there just after 9, we were told we were to late for the buffet. So decided to go with the menu! First my friend asked for tandoori chicken legs & was told they only did Brest, I ordered chicken akari. We then waited over an hour for the main courses. When they arrived the chicken tandoori was dry & the teka sauce was so over powering with coriander it was unedable , the Akari chicken only had 3 pieces of chicken in it! We did complain but the waiter just said sorry about that & that was all. After finding found an advert in the good food guid the next day for this restaurant ,with a picture of tandoori legs in it,we phoned the restaurant .All that happened was they were sorry that should not have happened as we do chicken legs & the Akari should have at least 6 pieces of chicken in it. Very very disappointed will not be back. It ruined a special night out.

Went here with my family for a birthday meal and we all wanted the buffet and were starving when we arrived about 6.30pm. Thought we could just go up when we arrived but were told we had to wait till the buffet starters were ready. Poppadams and dips/sauces were brought to the table and it felt like ages before the buffet starters were ready. When we asked if the starters were ready the young boy didn't know and had to go and check. I often go back up for starters as I prefer the starters to the mains but they put the lids on the starters and you have to wait to be told when you can go up for your mains and you can't take any more starters. I guess they do it this way as the restaurant is quite small and it would be a nightmare if every table went up at once but still seemed a bit strange to have to wait to be told when to go up for a buffet then not be able to take more of what you want! We were given 3 nan breads between the 6 of us which were brought to the table. Food was fresh, tasty and hot. Would go back.

I have eaten in every restaurant in Gourock and this is just about the worst.We took two visiting Australians to this restaurant and it proved to be a bit of an embarresment from the tough lamb to chicken tika masala that didn't resemble any that I've had anywhere else before.The four of us were in aggrement that the food was well bellow par and to add insult to injury we were charged eighty odd pounds for the privilege, a figure that you wouldn't mind paying in a very good restaurant such as the Equestrian center in Bishopton where we ate a few nights later paying more or less the same but with far better cuisine,entertainment and service.

I cannot express how BAD the meal was. I chose a vegetarian dhansak, which is a meal I have eaten numerous times and know what one should taste like.When my meal arrived it had large slabs of chicken in, I had asked for a vegetarian dhansak !When the replacement meal arrived.....after only a couple of minutes, which demonstrates they are reheating and not cooking....the sauce immediately smelt rancid.It tasted even worse. One of our friends meals ( prawn ) had a similar odour and our friend had to leave the table, rush to the toilets and vomit.Obviously he couldn't eat and more. I decided to leave the rest of my meal. We paid the bill, but in hindsight should have refused, we informed the waiter that the meals were unacceptable and that we would not be returning.This restaurant is a disgrace to Gourock.

This little place has food to die for. It's quite unassuming but totally recommend you give it a try. Staff are really lovely and obliging. Food is fresh and very tasty. Reasonably priced. Give it ago....you will not be disappointed!!!!

We have eaten here many times before and the quality was always very good, but based on our most recent visit - the place seems to have went downhill a bit. We ordered a meal for two, which was 2 mains, 2 starters, a rice and a nan bread. After driving down to collect and bringing the food home we realised instead of the peshwari nan that we ordered we had been given the normal plain nan instead (which was all dry and tasteless ) gettin the nan wrong was forgivable but as well as that the korma contained more mango than it did chicken. The pakora starters were also very dry and disappointing. Would think twice about returning here.

We visited on a Saturday night for some dinner after a friend recommended the restaurant. We had poppadoms, starters and a main dish each with rice and a peshwari naan. The food was really tasty and the bill came out a lot cheaper than we thought (c£36 inc four drinks). We will definitely be back next time we are in the area.

We are 6 friends who meet quite regularly for a curry in and around Glasgow/Renfrewshire and have been here on previous occasions when food and service have been good. We arrived at 5pm to an empty restaurant and were asked if we had booked! We sat by the wall and ordered but my husband asked for some advice on a speciality dish to be recommended which was medium hot. The waiter suggested achari. Another friend joined us 15 minutes later so we had to ask for a menu and he ordered. We all received our meals, even the last to arrive but my husband's meal did not appear.We all had to start our meal and managed to attract the miserable male waiter to ask what was happening and he said it would be straight out. We all finished our meals but there was still no sign of the missing meal.Second drinks took ages to order and the two waiters were bobbing between takeaway orders, bar and taking orders to the kitchen and serving. One of our friends finally went to the bar to ask again about the missing dish and the male waiter again came over to ask what was missing as if he couldn't remember which meal has been ordered and he went to the kitchen. About 8 minutes later a chicken dish arrived and was not hot, was sweet and sour and had no real taste of curry!One of our friends' chicken was inedible as was gristly and my lamb was really tough. The peshwari naans were very dry and not very tasty and altogether between lack of friendly service by both waiters and the uninteresting and disappointing dishes we decided to leave and will not be back! The decor is tired and the takeaway clients seem to take reference over the seated clients.

We come to the Taj Mahal on a Monday or Tuesday night for the buffet. They don't have loads of stuff All out at the one time. They make it bit by bit so it stays fresh. I always fill myself up on the starters then can't eat too much of the curry, but the starters are so good I can't help myself. The garlic naan is really good and the curries are Always lovely. They have a new sweet and sour kind which really really good. Sorry I can't remember the name of it. We'll be back. We love it here.

I took my mum here for mothers day and we both loved it. The restaurant was beautifully decorated and the service was lovely. The food was great and very reasonably priced. As I'm vegetarian they made my korma with potato and onion as requested. I really appreciated that and it tasted great. The only thing that let it down was the garlic naan bread which was a bit doughie and pale. We will definately be back and looking forward to it.

I've been visiting this restaurant and takeaway for years, and was always impressed, using it as the benchmark for great food, service and quality. Something has changed since my previous visit and the food wasn't up to its usual high standards. Peshwari naan bread recipe has changed, and it's now doughy and light on the (usually) delicious filling...to top it off, the poppadoms were soft, as though they were a day or two old. Not great! I certainly won't be rushing back :(

Excellent food. Especially the Ceylonese curry. Totally delicious. I would say the waiting room for takeaways could be bigger. It is so small and so narrow you almost keep butting knees with other people sitting there when you get up.

Been going to this restaurant for years . Still doesn't fail to impress. Staff are always friendly no matter who your served by . Food is yummy . The chicken tikka is my favourite ,comes with a separate sauce so you can decide how much you like . Clean and tidy restaurant. Recently got reviewed a good review by tam Cowan.

Ordered Tandoori Mixed Grill & picked up food to eat at home.Chicken was very dry & chewy....They had essentially just thrown half a tandoori chicken in the foil wrap...So had to cut it up myself. Lamb kebab was also dry & not very flavorful.Overall not the best tandoori platter I have ever had.Was left disappointed..

Placed an order for delivery at 19:15, it was accepted and I was told it would be delivered by 19:50. At 20:10, they emailed me to tell me they cancelled the order and I'm to expect a refund in 5 to 10 working days If you're hungry and short on cash, don't risk it
