Taj Mahal in South Kesteven

Good atmosphere and food excellent. Service not good, an hour and a half wait as staff seemed busy getting take away orders out as priority. We had booked our table so managers must have known the number of people who would be sitting at all the tables and needing serving. Also drinks got forgotten. Staff seemed to be overworked.

Rudely rang up and told us to go to a food bank if we wanted free food after requesting a refund for missing food. Disgusting customer service!

Great experience every time we go, the food is amazing, staff are amazing too. Definately worth 5 stars and above..

When i visited this Gorgeous Local Indian Restuarant, i was Welcomed by the Owner. I asked him if i could have my own table. That was not a problem. He then, led me to my table. I sat down, he handed the menu and the drinks, he did Inform me that, the Restaurant was a Non Alcoholic Establishment. I was very pleased when he told me. I ordered a bottle of Cobra 0.0. I then thoroughly Perused the menu. I chose the Onion Bahji,Rogan Josh, Sag Aloo and the Chefs Special Tandoori Mixed Grill. My order was taken down, and Food and Drink Server left me to let the Chef know, what i had ordered. I just relaxed and Enjoyed my bottle of Cobra 0.0. The Customer Service was Excellent. Overall i thought the whole visit was Well worth it. Great Food to Enjoy at my Leisure.If you were visiting, and you were Driving. They had a really Good choice of a Generous Selection of Non-Alcoholic Beverages and Soft Drinks as well. I was very Impressed and very Good Value for your money. A very Lovely and Modern Restaurant, situated in the Heart of Market Deeping. I be coming back to this Beautiful Indian Restaurant The Taj Mahal. I Most certainly Recommend you come and visit and have a meal and a drink. Jonathan/Market Deeping. 😁😁😁😁😁✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️💯💯💯💯❤️❤️👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Takeaway.. Chicken korma Chicken tikka vegetable rice pilla rice 2 garlic nams 5 poppadoms..... BLOODY LOVERLY 5*

Great service and great traditional settings. Food was top quality 👌

My wife and I are retired and are lucky enough to travel around a lot, we are also lucky enough to be able to eat in the Taj on a regular basis. Without any doubt the food in the Taj is the very best we have ever had. Tuesday and Wednesday is deal night with a set menu, excellent value. You take your own drinks, they do not charge any corkage. Make sure you book as it gets very busy, be patient, enjoy your supermarket priced drinks, the food is so well waiting for.

Absolutely love the chicken tikka and samosas, would 100% recommend coming here if you’re looking for a hearty meal in this cold weather. Staff are extremely polite too.

Absolutely loved coming here with my friends, enjoyed the chicken tandoori. Special thanks to the staff who gave me such a speedy service. Can’t wait to come back!

We have been to the restaurant on multiple occasions and the food and service has been amazing! Today we decided to order a take away…the food was terrible!! I ordered my fav, a Special king prawn bhuna which is normally creamy and spicy, what tuned up was a box of onions and peppers in a sauce that was so hot it wasn’t eatable! The prawns that I did get didn’t even look like prawn, they were a mangled mess. It was inedible and I had to stop eating after a few mouthfuls and ended up chucking a meal that cost £37 in the bin!!

Fabulous meal as always. Thank you

Took more than two hours to be delivered said on the App 35-50 minutes, rang up after an hour and a half and sounded like they hadn’t even started making it. Food was good quality but probably wouldn’t ordered again at least through this App.

Food great, but over 30 minutes wait during the collection, (or 40 minutes from when I got the SMS advising it was ready), such a shame - not sure we will go back as it’s a regular occurrence. Needs better management/kitchen help. Restaurant was empty - so no excuses.

Excellent as ever . Never disappointing

superb food and excellent quality. it has to be the best Indian food in the area!

Good varied menu tasty vegetarian dishes on offer

we went to collect our order in the end

wonderful food and great quality!!

The food was amazing, def order from here again 😁👍

Waited an hour and a half for a takeaway. They were clearly accepting every order (for greed?) and failing to deliver. My jalfrezi had three prawns, huge pieces of onion, and very little sauce. Everybody was complaining.

the Madras lamb curry had 3 pieces of meat and just curry gravy - i was disappointing

The food was absolutely delicious

Great food as always and luckily we were in when it came 35 minutes early!

The best as always! Quality of food is superb, always warm and tasty. Arrive early too. Recommended to everyone!

First time ordering from here and will definitely be my last. Naan Bread was just a soggy mess. Bhajis were burnt, passnda curry was like water, huge chunks of chicken did not resemble any chicken I have ever eaten before. Overall a complete disaster

Food quality & flavor is superb as always! 🤩 Don't try any other in Just eat around Peterborough-only this! We tried every Indian take away around and this one is the best among all. Arrive 20-30 mins early. Thank you for the great service!

I've had good meals when eating in but last night we had a Just Eat order and it was not a good experience. After making the order they called me to say they didn't have the vegetable Samosas or the Paneer dish I ordered, being a vegetarian this wasn't great. Anyway agreed some compromise alternatives, one being a large Vegetable curry instead of small. However, when it arrived it was literally swimming in oil and the vegetables comprised only chopped carrots, peas and sweetcorn. I had to scoop the vegetables out of the tray with a fork in order that drain the oil they were in, it was barely edible. So disappointed after previous good experiences. My wife's prawn dish was better but I have to say, this is not the place to go if your vegetarian.

I used to really like taj but the quality has gone down hill. Food was cold & my naan bread was rock hard so couldn’t eat half of it. Just don’t think I’ll bother next time

Wednesday evening 6:00 pm. Restaurant was spotlessly clean, the staff really friendly and the prices very reasonable for this day and age. Add to this the generous portions and variety of choices and I have to say that I just couldn't fault it. The place was full which is always reassuring but was also very comfortable.

Lovely food delivered quickly Thank you

Literally the best food i've ever eaten like ever

I've been going to the Taj Mahal on and off for 20 years, until recently, I don't think I've had a bad meal, however standards are slipping. The pros are, BYOB and it's reasonably priced, but the service and food seems mediocre at best. You won't have a bad meal, but I wouldn't rush back.

What a great little venue. Food was excellent and staff very helpful. Well worth a visit.

Very good this evening, tandoori biryani was spot on loads of chicken thanks enjoyed it

First time experience 1stJune 24. Tested this restaurant in the Peak time Saturday 6pm. Every table was booked and the staff were busy but on top. Food was delicious. The staff perfect under stress. Not a single fault. The Lamb Vindaloo was perfection. Mixed grill fantastically presented. Would recommend as the best curry in Deeping.

Food was a bit too hot 🔥 for my liking, with no option to choose strength. Apart from that, lovely food and delivered on time.

Food was really nice and delivered within the timeframe. Couldn’t ask for more. Our preferred Indian restaurant.

The attention is first class. The tasty food has several options that are not spicy to very spicy dishes. The place is very good, the decoration, the music and it is very clean. I recommend this place.

Only ever ordered to takeaway but never an issue, always correct order, great food, friendly staff.

Authentic family run Indian restaurant, located in the heart of Market Deeping. I had a table booked for 7pm on Friday 3rd May. Upon entering, we greeted by three friendly waiters and escorted to our table with food menus. Shortly after, served poppadoms accompanied by pickled dips, and glasses for our own alcohol. The menu consists a wide selection of classic Indian dishes, and the waiters in depth knowledge of the curries played a pivotal role in helping us make the best food choices on the night. We had the Taj Mahal mixed starters and for mains were recommended to try the Chicken Tikka Jalfrezi, Lamb Shashlic, Chicken Korma and the Special Mix Grill Bhuna. To say the dishes went above our expectations would be an understatement. The meat was cooked to perfection, bursting with fresh, top quality ingredients & authentic flavours, left us craving for more. The Jalfrezi is by far the best I’ve ever had, came out on a sizzler dish and had the perfect level of heat. Naan breads (garlic and peshwari) came out piping hot and the soft & fluffy texture was a unique twist. Other restaurants serve them crispy but these were uniquely different, and the best accompaniment to our food. The restaurant was packed on the night. So our food (except the starters) served slightly later than expected. However, the waiters were very apologetic and offered poppadoms on the house as a goodwill gesture. We could see they were not only busy inside, but had abundant takeaway orders and could see the team were doing everything in their power to ensure a smooth experience for everyone. We didn’t mind waiting because the ambience and great service made up for this. Overall a fantastic night, not to be forgotten. Prices are beyond reasonable for the quality of food and food portion sizes. What surprised us the most was no service charge is applied to the final bill, and no cork charge for our own booze. They offer 10% discount on takeaway orders and have deal nights on Tuesday and Wednesdays. Will be visiting more frequently! Note: the menus do not highlight allergen information however the waiters will be able to advise on such information if required. Tip: be sure to book your table weeks in advance as they get booked up pretty quick.

We had a meal here tonight and was highly disappointed, we had a meal booked at 7:30pm and didn't get our food till 8:45 and when we finally got our food it wasn't great either soo disappointed missing food, really watery just very disappointed in all, we won't be coming again

Waited 2 hours and the food was cold, Naan inedible. Never had a bad meal in the restaurant or collection so maybe just eat delivery is not a good choice, especially in peak times!

Disappointed to have booked a table for 8pm for a birthday to still be waiting at nearly 8.30. The only table to be coming available was squeezed into a corner. Won’t bother going again.

Lovely food as always. We never order from anywhere else. Lamb was chewier than normal but hopefully it’s a one off.

everytime I collect I'm waiting around for 20mins. learn to keep to timings or send me to collect 20mins later

Lovely resturant and very welcoming , atmosphere is also very good.

I love Taj and normally they’re the best place around, but this time the lamb tikka starter was chewy and not soft like normal, the chips were rock hard (literally had to throw them away), the garlic naan was so burnt, so all I had left to fulfil my quiet Friday night meal in was the king prawn bhuna, total order £24. It was so disappointing.

Lovely restaurant for eating or takeout. Friendly staff and yummy grub

First time trying an Indian takeout and woah! Blown away! Absolutely gorgeous. Can’t wait for my next order :)

Last 3 orders have taken an hour and a half to come. Most recent order was cold when it arrived. Won’t order again

Delivery took slightly longer than hoped considering we live just a mile or two away but still came within the time specified. Amazing quality meat loved it

A great place to eat! The staff at the Taj Mahal are lovely - always friendly and going out of their way for customers. The food is delicious - and with a great range for vegetarians. There are still many veggie dishes I'd like to return to try. You can BYOB although I never have myself. It's also located literally by a large car park and in the centre of the town so very easy to get to.

I went with family to celebrate a Birthday, it is a small restaurant but I was impressed by how nice it looked inside, the internal space is very well organized. The food was excellent and the service friendly. They don't serve alcohol but you can bring your own bottles and consume them at the table.

The best indian take away in town!! 🤩 Recommended to everyone! Food quality and flavour is superb!

best curry ive had ever i think every dish was soooo good

Order was meant to arrive at 8:20pm (an hour and 10 mins from initial ordering time) and arrived at 9:10. The food was warm, bordering cold and the sides were rock hard. All in all, from ordering the food we were waiting for 2 hours. We spent £70 and the food was not up to quality.

Marked as delivered 30 minutes before delivery actually came. It's probably to get good justeat stastics without being on time

First time I ordered from here, would recommend it to everyone as the masala was incredible 👍

Fabulous meal, wonderful atmosphere and the most amazing staff. Never had a bad meal yet and been going for over 10 years. Thanks Everyone :)

Wonderful food some of the best we have had in a long time.

Brilliant food, super service. Excellent take away service also. Take your own alcohol splendid option. One of our favourite restaurants in Deeping 👍👍

We went to celebrate our friend's birthday last Saturday night and the food and service was amazing! The food was hot, fresh and perfect. We wasn't rushed and all our meals arrived together. Would definitely recommend

Was over 2hrs and was not the best when it eventually came

As always great food and service 👌

Food was late but came with a sincere apology and complimentary drinks. Everybody enjoyed their choice from the menu. All very tasty. Thankyou!!

All of the rice dishes has a burnt taste. We were a large party and but it took 2 hours before we got out food.

Delayed delivery, popadoms was burned, and food wasn’t overly warm! Very disappointed as placed order at 6:30, and requested 7:25, to which pushed back to 7:50, but didn’t receive till gone 8:30! Not impressed and what I payed was not up to the quality resived! not acceptable! Will not order again!

What an absolute amazing restaurant, without doubt the number one place to dine within market deep in. Not only is the food amazing but the staff an atmosphere make the number one place for me every time.

Everyone uses that cliche best Indian I’ve ever had . But honestly the quality, taste and service of this restaurants meals is consistently superior to any we have anywhere else. Can’t recommend enough

Excellent meal, deliciously authentic flavours. Highly recommended. Would definitely use again.

Highly recommend this place one of the best curry’s I have had my regular spot with family and friends tried many dishes by far the best.

Good food . Late everytime I order or collection and delivery

A lovely meal once again love their food and go regularly with my son and friends have been eating here since they opened and friendly and pleasant staff as always. Went last night and my wife does not do spicy food so she had steak and chips with all the trimmings and rated it the best steak she has had for a long long time. Thanks lads

Food arrived 1 hour 20 minutes later than stated at point of ordering. Arrived cold, as well as curry dish spilt within bag and all over other items.

Shame used to be our favourite but second time the foods been really salty and the chicken didn’t taste great and was dry.

Nice place. Excellent value. Super service

The food has always been delicious, this is my favourite restaurant, I recommend it to all my family and friends. The staff that work their are very polite, provide a good service and are on time.

Worth the wait delicious 5 stars

All I can say is Wow, the food is absolutely beautiful. Everything was perfect. And they're not expensive for the quality of the food they are producing

Cracking food as always. Delivery was earlier than expected. Taj every time.

A little late but it was a Saturday and good to see a place being so busy, food was well worth waiting for.

As always great food and service

Excellent food, proper spice levels, attentive staff. Ceylon curry was the best. Table was a bit cramped in the far corner, but overall a great experience.

It was only 5 mins late but the chips were cold and you forgot our poppadoms from the order.

We're surprised by the negative reviews as our experience was very positive. The service was attentive and very very pleasant We liked the food a lot. Lovely sauces with the poppadoms The chicken was very fresh All good Very bustly atmospheric place. Loads of fun We weren't bothered by absence of alcohol. Cannot see why that could be a legitimate reason for marking score down!!

Brilliant food and the staff was lovely, hats off to the young man at the front who greeted us and served our table . Highly recommend this restaurant to everyone

Missing items and late delivery

Food nice and hot and very tasty.

Order was marked as delivered within the delivery window, but arrived 15 minutes after this.

Food trays were badly bashed sauces leaked everywhere. Food was brilliant.

Unfortunately the chips had been reheated and where very hard which did spoil the meal slightly. It will not stop me from giving a second chance another time but not in the near future

Food late but was still hot and very nice

Really friendly people. Loved the food. A good choice of food. Cozy feel to the place. Would definitely go again. P. S. Clean toilets

Everything was delicious and was nice and hot when delivered, very happy with our order!

Hot, tasty, good quality, and fair prices 👌

Lovely meal and didn’t wait long on a Friday evening either

Although the food had plenty of flavour, the quality of the chicken was really poor, it was so tough and chewy, this wasn’t the first time I have experienced this!

Just had dinner here while working away. The locals will hate me but this is far too cheap. That £15 set meal special is an amazing deal midweek, no wonder the place was packed. The meat isn’t the highest quality but well seasoned and for the price what do you expect. The sides were spot on to be fair, probably some of the best I have had in years. The service from the waiter was spectacular, one man is serving 12 tables while answering phones, hats off the man. Great place can’t see how anyone could give these anything less than 5*

Perfect and fast delivery 10/10
