Taj Mahal in Bolton

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.

Excellent food and a great venue. Really friendly staff. Great value. Would recommend the balti and the korma, really generous portions.

Lovely restaurant, had a fantastic time! Great service! Thank you, I will definitely be coming back! The staff were very nice too!

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.

Had a lovely meal our for my dad's birthday. Gorgeous food and fantastic service. We had a selections of curries and sides. Even finished with coffees ☕️ 🙌 Thanks very much Everyone 😀

Ordered delivery and as always I have no complaints.The delivery time was spot on. The food was absolutely delicious.

It’s only the no alcohol license stopping taj being the most popular the food every time is first class , so tasty cooked to your request always hot and fresh , served with a smile , can’t fault it , no where does onion bhaji s better . Top class restaurant. Take your own beer great option cuts the bill .

Nice friendly staff, food was outstanding and plenty choice ,food also came out straight away didn’t have to wait long was really hot and just right to eat. There was plenty of delicious curries to pick from which i found Brilliant.

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.

We had the weekly deal for £13.95 each a fantastic 5 course meal with great choices of different starters and main course. A really good curry and quick service too. We will definitely be back again !👍

My experience here was brilliant, the staff were so friendly and the food was very good quality. If i could of give it more stars i would’ve, we will definitely be coming here again.

Very tasty food and during the week have some really good offers on. Staff were friendly and the food was served quickly. Also, you can bring you own alcohol:)

Food is amazing and staff are very nice. We were well taken care of and the food is very high quality. We enjoyed the experience. Thank you

Always a pleasure eating here. Food is hot, tasty and well presented. Always met by a friendly face

Amazing food and perfect atmosphere to bring your family over and enjoy the food. Definitely one of the best Indian curry houses in Bolton and the stellar service alongside. Definitely recommend!!

I’ve come here a few times now and they always have great food and a chilled atmosphere. The staff are very friendly and attentive. Food quality is always bang on.

Really nice atmosphere and food tastes lovely, I’m really happy with the service and staff too they are really friendly

We visited this restaurant located on a main road. The restaurant was nicely laid out with nice decor. We had the discounted set 4 course menu available between 5-9pm during the week for £13 per person. The food was very nice and the staff were welcoming and attentive. Well worth a visit.

Ordered a chicken tikka biryani and it did not disappoint. If you’re looking for good Indian food this is the best place. Great family run business

I don't usually bother wasting time writing reviews but I have to as I am so disappointed. Really horrible food tasteless, worse Indian ever. Only thing is good is service. Sorry not coming back.

We had a lovely family meal here. Both the food and service were great. We will definitely go back again.

Lovely food , great staff , lovely ambiance , really enjoyed it, reasonably priced, decor lovely and clean .After 8 mints to finish .

Great service. Great authentic food as always. Great starters mains. Very reasonable prices on the mid week special. Well done

Nice food, was an issue with the order but this was quickly and professionally rectified. Staff are friendly and polite, service is quick. Would recommend!

This is the only Indian we’ll go to in farnworth the food is so tasty and amazing value for money , don’t be put off by taking your own alcohol basically you’re drinking what you want ,it’s cheaper and it cuts the bill down dramatically and the owner/ waiters are so polite and attentive, we had popps , starters , mains , rice , chips naans and coffees under £50 for 2 well worth a visit

Yet again another great meal with friends we had the mid week special menu 5 courses and extras £17.50 pp absolutely brilliant take your own wine if you like a tipple the food as always was excellent the cook will a-just the the food to your taste if you ask the staff are great nothings to much trouble we love it it’s the best

Not been in here for years, took my 2 daughters and we all thoroughly enjoyed the experience the staff were friendly and helpful, the food was Great excellent we spent 2 hrs enjoying the evening never felt pressure and even finished with ice cream ! Excellent food lovely environment.

The best Indian restaurant around, staff so friendly every we time we come it’s just perfect… the food is fantastic, nothing come close. Perfect thank you!!

Excellent as always, lots of choice, excellent quality food, superb friendly staff and really beautiful decor! Would highly recommend.

Come here with family fairly often and it is always a great experience. Food is of great quality and service is always prompt.

Honestly the best traditional Curry house around. Delicious curry’s and starters and even the nan bread is perfectly fluffy and not stodgy. This is the only curry house we come to because it’s hands down the best. Healthy portions and curry’s are so tasty, amazing chef. The customer service is also second to none. Great atmosphere and vibe. This is the place if you want a proper curry!

We have visited as a family many times. We have long been in search for a great Indian restaurant. No doubt The Taj Mahal had soon become our favourite! Always pay attention to detail and our order is always as ordered. Prawn puri, lamb chops starter, lamb naga and chicken pathia are a must!

Came for down for a family meal, it was a great experience, waiters were attentive, and food was lovely, I would definitely come back here again, nice atmosphere, great for family meals.

Been many times for food wether planned or last minute it’s always a warm welcome and top food. Great range of currys and mid week meal set meal is very fair priced and filling.

Taj Mahal restaurant is a welcoming and enjoyable dining experience. The staff are very welcoming, the food is absoultulty outstanding. Beast Indian cuisine in Farnworth. We will certainly be goin.

We really enjoyed our meals , mixed starter for 2 £10.95 great value and tasty and both curries very flavourful and as for the option of taking your own alcohol gives you a great option for keeping the bill down , We would highly recommend trying the taj

We normally have a takeaway from here absolutely fabulous food really tasty. Very friendly and nothing is to much effort for them love it.

Always lovely service and excellent food, great price for what it is!! I’ve eaten here since I was a kid and it gets better everytime!

We've had several birthdays etc here, never less than excellent! Lovely staff and wonderful food! Superb.

Just had a takeaway and it was absolutely lovely would recommend 100%..

Had the best xmas day here this year. Staff and service was exceptional x

Saw the raving reviews and decided to give it a go with my friends for a takeaway. It was cold and the portion sizes were small. Quality of food was below par to what we all have before. Would not be returning. However the front of house staff that served me was friendly so I guess thats the only positive to take from here

Fantastic food and service, the atmosphere is terrific and every time we have visited we feel more than welcome. If visiting Farnworth this is a must.

The food was fantastic and served in a timely manner. The soft drinks on offer were fresh and ice cold, and the staff were lovely. Recommend.

Lovely food and good service on our doorstep. Will definitely be back. Also helps you can take your own alcohol which brings the costs down. Give it a go and see for yourselves.

Fantastic food,carnt fault it one bit,came in the week when the offer was on fantastic value ,defo be back

5 of us went this week not been for a few years excellent 👍

Great little Curry House excellent value individual request sorted by the talented chef no alcoholic license but you are welcome to bring your own and soft drinks are available staff really good highly recommend

Excellent food - the best Indian in Bolton. Great food, the waiters are brilliant. Food exceptional. Bring your own drinks to keep the bill down 10/10

The food is excellent , along with the staff. 10/10 The mix starter for two is great value for money.

Very accommodating, we had a table of 11 and the staff can’t do enough for you. The price is very cheap considering the quality of food.

Excellent meals ready on time for collection

Food was great as always . Had usual set meal for 2 with extras .

Excellent friendly service, amazing food very fresh and excellent prices highly recommend a visit

Lovely food and served by friendly and funny Rachel. Really beautiful Indian food. Worth a visit.

Whar a great place to eat the staff are amazing they are more than helpful. Love ir please try it thank you Tina

A much needed improvement from the last owners. This is our go to place now after sacking it off for several years due to previous owners neglect.

Had a naga lamb last week and a biriyani. Definitely one of the best I have tried. Friendly service, will visit soon

Always welcoming and the food is delicious and reasonably priced - I just wish more people would use this place, it's overlooked in favour of the The Royal Balti. People get in there bring your own beer, they will put it in the fridge for you, they have a bottle opener and they don't charge corkage. Can't praise them enough

The three staff that served us tonight were really helpful and friendly and helped to make my friend's 70th birthday meal special. I had taken in a cake, candles, balloon prior to our arrival and asked if they could bring out the birthday cake when I gave them a signal. They even gave me some birthday banners to put up. All went really well. Nothing was to much trouble for the staff.

Quality fresh food and you can take your own alcohol to dine in now making a great value for money meal. Recommended, A must try.

I love taj mahal, when I first came in the service was immaculate. I ordered popadoms for starters and for the mains chicken tikka masala, naan, chips and pilu rice amazing. My favorite indian restaurant 5 stars on everything

Looking a little, run down around the edges food is great and staff good with the kids No alcohol licence not sure why did have one before the management swap

Excellent service and superb food, staff were very helpful and friendly would recommend,

Staff friendly, food great and good value. Pleasant environment, will definitely be back

Very nice meal and quick and good customer service. Definitely will visit again

A fab place , food was excellent and staff very friendly . A must visit again

Fantastic little place, well worth a visit

Disgusting! Donner is frozen donner that taste awful, big thick pieces looks grey not brown, soggy popadoms. Keema paratha looked disabled but taste ok. didnt bring my mix grill, thats the main thing i ordered. When i rung up they was quizzing me like i was lying and adamant that they put it in. Them rung back to tell me to look for it! Cheeky and insulting. Avoid!!!

Thanks to all the staff at taj mahal, takeaway was excellent and very well cooked. Will be ordering from here again. 5 stars peeps..

Excellent food, my favourite Indian restaurant in Farnworth

Lovely food, friendly service will definitely eat here again

Back to business and highly recommended. Good food, service and prices.

Food was fantastic. Lots to choose from. Great value for money and a lovely atmosphere. These service was fast and there was plenty of seating. It was clean. There I a selection of house wine and beer plus spirits all reasonable priced. I really enjoyed it and would definitely recommend it. There is a big car car park over the road which is a big plus because it was free. Well worth a visit.

Whet on Christmas day, the set menu is £35 I shared my meal with my partner as we are not big eaters both got charged £35 for a set menue even tho we only had one, avoid at all costs plus if you drink cider they buy bottles from Lidl for 2 quid odd and charge you 4 quid for a pint don't trust them

This is a VERY good restaurant that does proper nice & tasty food as well as nice polite staff, I'd really recommend this restaurant to everyone

Great food, friendly service, definitely recommend

We placed an order on website for pick up 20.45 they rang us 1hr 30 mins early saying it's ready, couldn't pick up Cos in work. Went to pick up at correct time food waiting didn't check, unfortunately, completely missed a main meal off, went to call in restaurant - already closed!

Such a lovely place. Excellent food and Excellent staff. I cannot wait to visit again once open for sitting in.

It took an hour and a half to come when it arrived it was cold, order a prawn starter there was two prawns more salad than anything else,asked for a refund very disappointing

Amazing!!!!!! Best curry's by far, I'm a balti and madras girl they are awesome, my fella is a samba man, and our boys are korma lads, they are absolutely lovely and we will recommend to anyone and everyone 👍 👌

I have had delivery from here for first time after recommendations from friend. Only thing we enjoyed is the starter. The curry was totally bland and tasteless I was expecting lot better than that.

Food cold when delivered food wasnt nice for what I paid very disappointed wont order from there again

Great service ,good food friendly atmosphere

Loved the atmosphere, relaxed and friendly...In fact, loved everything about this place. Well worth a visit.

Good food. Quiet early doors and friendly staff.

Waited over an hour for poor quality food..only 8 people in restaurant . Customers were walking in and out the kitchen..never going back I have no idea what has happened here it used to be great..
