Ordered a supposed quick takeaway. Took a long time waited considering and hoping the quality of the food would make up for the wait time. The food was lukewarm and oily. We wasn't best pleased as we were all celebrating my friends birthday with a few drinks at home. A few of my friends had upset stomach the next day. First and last time trying this curry house. On my experience I would not recommend it. Lesson learnt. 0/5

Excellent value for money with the midweek special. Food always fresh and hot, tried a couple of different Currys on the offer the madras and pathia are something else.

Edit (initial review still below) After my first poor experience the owner offered me a complimentary meal, which shows both good customer service but also that the owner knew this wasn't their usual standard. I took him up on his offer this evening. The chicken was cooked really well and I enjoyed it. I would say overall, it's exactly what I would expect for the price and good value. Fair play to the owner for the service offered to make up for the initial issues. (now original review below) I ordered set meal 1 for delivery. When it arrived I was happy with the amount of food for the price. Poppodums were nice, but you can't really get them wrong. On to the mixed starter - the seekh kebab first was actually really tasty so I had high hopes for the rest of the meal but this is where things went downhill. The onion bahji, I prefer them crisper but they are always a coin toss so not too bothered about that. The chicken in the starter however, was kind of hard to bite, but not because it is overcooked, just because it had that consistency where it feels slightly undercooked (hard to explain on here). It was unfortunate but it was only 1 piece of chicken so I thought never mind, I've got a whole curry to enjoy so won't get too caught up on that 1 thing. However, the chicken in the curry itself was cooked the same. I had to spit it out and leave the whole thing. I probably could have pushed through and ate it despite the consistency but I had a genuine concern that eating it could have given me food poisoning. I threw the whole thing away. I just cannot understand all these high reviews, maybe the chef just dropped the ball with this order.

Fabulous as usual. Wonderful service by wonderful staff. The very best food, each and every time. I can't rate the Taj Mahal more highly. On a personal point, I wouldn't go anywhere else. There are just not enough stars to offer this establishment. From walking in through the door to walking out, it is a great experience.

Sent the wrong order which I paid for at the door at 9.30pm. I phoned the shop to inform them that they had made a mistake and sent the wrong order and I was shouted at and belittled by “the manager” who told me that the driver had delivered the wrong meal. He then lied and said he wasn’t the manager. The driver came back and demanded that we pay again for the meal to be delivered which obviously we didn’t. I phoned the shop again to ask for a refund which was refused. Again, the guy on the phone shouted over me so I put the phone down. He then continued to ring my phone constantly harassing me until after 11pm. I will never order from here again. £33 of food which I was allergic to was thrown away and the abuse I received was simply awful. Scary stuff for a woman to receive unwanted and intimidating phone calls until 11pm. They are very lucky that I didn’t get the police involved.
