Taj Mahal Indian Restaurant in Braintree - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Great food as always and delivered quickly thanks.

Really enjoyed our meal, thank you!

the food was absolutely beautiful. Well stuffed and happy

Food was good but they firgot my 1loffr

Excellent quality. My new favourite Indian takeaway

I just LOVE the food: the tandoori mixed grill is out of this world: not your usual red coloured, slightly smoky stuff! Samosas are great tasting - in fact all dishes are in a complete different league from the usual Braintree fare!

Friendly delivery. Good tasty. Rice a little greasy and overcooked.

We were told the order would be ready at 8.15pm and then we had to sit and wait for 30 minutes despite being told numerous times it was nearly ready. The restaurant wasn't busy so there was really no excuse for this. The food was nice but it didn't make up for the wait. We decided to collect as we thought this would be quicker but it really shouldn't have taken over an hour for this order.

Food was delicious and delivery was on time and pleasant.

You never get a fulll portion anymore. All the containers are half full. The madras was awful, not cooked and no sauce at all. The sauce that was there was watered down and tasteless. We called to complain but they didn't care. Their excuse was that they have a new chef. We won't be ordering again.

Food is absolutely stunning, would definitely recommend

Beautiful food! Highly recommend 👌🏽

your delivery driver was very unhappy to be working and was rude.

Good taste but items missing from order and collection time over 1 hour

This restaurant has changed its name to the Gurkha have eaten Indian all over the world. This was the absolute worst everything was coming out of bags from supermarkets samosas was bought from the supermarket Canyon barges was bought from the supermarket. Curry was bought from the supermarket. Popadoms was stale absolutely disgusting.

Your food and service are always spectacular. Keep up the good work!

chicken tikka was nice along with the potatoes just the naan bread couldve been better.

Super tasty, on the spicy side but bursting with flavour. So impressed we have just ordered again - Nom Nom

Best Indian I’ve had for a long time!

An excellent meal will go there again for sure.

onion bhajis were a little bit more crispy than we liked but everything else was lovely x

Good, need the chicken to be cooked a bit overall delicious

First time ordering from here and the food was extremely tasty. Would definitely order again!

3rd time ordering, and lovely meal each time.

Arguably not quite as high quality as some others. However. It’s still decent and the price is unrivalled.

Food delivered quickly and piping hot! Enjoyed by myself and other half :-)

Poor customer service when I called the restaurant, the staff struggled to understand why I was calling and frequently liaised with colleagues during the call in another language, overall the experience was very disappointing..

Good food. Tried the signature dish Zimbu Chicken I wasn’t disappointed

Once again the food was delicious, super flavoursome and will definitely be ordering again and again

Indulging in the diverse flavors of the Indian cuisine at this restaurant was an absolute delight. The food's rich and aromatic spices created a symphony of flavors that left my taste buds thoroughly satisfied. Each dish was a culinary masterpiece, making this experience truly memorable.

Excellent food, and despite arriving late…it was well worth the wait!

Food is really delicious and has good quality and taste from other Indian restaurants in Braintree.

A little late but lovely food. Will order again

Arrived over an hour late! Ordered 16:05 stated 40 min delivery (then updated to later!) and then arrived 17:50 when I had to go outside to find delivery driver. Food was alright (apart from Dhansak was not good not sweet sour, just hot!).

Really lovely food, spot on. Will definitely order again.

We’ve ordered from here twice this week and both times it’s been such great food! Definitely a new favourite!! Best lamb dansak and chicken tikka I’ve ever had, beautiful coconut rice too.

Our food was really lovely, it was everything we ordered and on time and lovely and hot. Well done 👍

Was okay. The sag poneer was not as I’ve had it before so had I known I might have ordered something different as it was very tomato based and not creamy at all. Coconut rice was lovely. Could have been hotter as well.

Always awesome and we only humans we forget things and they sorted it out straight away and quick and delivery awesome guy thank you for delivering my food and restaurant deffo best Nepal food and best mix grill thank you and thank for the extra poppadoms much appreciated 👍

Really good, I thought I'd just try a new place so I took a chance and was really happy with the food and service. 👍

We were blown away by the quality of our food - so much so that I've written a review which I only do if somewhere is exceptional. It was so delicious and moreish, very tasty and felt like restaurant quality. We literally mopped up every morsel. I'd say this is the best Indian takeaway we've ever had hands down, and will most definitely be ordering from here again!

Absolutely wonderful meal. Would definitely recommend and order again. Amazing flavours in dishes

First time, lovely meal & delivery driver

Delivery time was ok, portion size was good. Mixed grill was very average, tikka masala was absolutely tasteless. Literally tasted like canned tomato soup. With what appeared to be watery frozen chicken. Ruined the meal. First and definitely last time ordering I’m afraid, don’t know what the people reviewing it are eating :/

Ordered a couple of the Nepalese dishes, these were really lovely. My husband thought it was by far the best curry in the area. The okra was delicious. I love Napalese dishes as used to eat them growing up so is lovely to have somewhere to order from here much more fragrant and a nice level of spice. Will definitely order again.

driver got lost....understandable

First time ordering from you and extremely happy. Food is amazing, delicious and reasonably priced. Will definitely come by the restaurant and order again

One of the best I've had in a very, very long time.

Excellent food delivered hot and early thanks.

Such great flavours. Spiced it up for us as requested. We will be back loved it!

Food is good but the delivery driver delivers while smoking a cigarette/vape. I don't want smoke fumes blown in my face thanks. Won't be ordering again.

Arrived nice & hot ! mix tandoori was missing prawn as listed in the menu , chicken was well overcooked (dry & chewy) but the rest was ok!

The restaurant has changed its name I thought it was the same just with a different name Unfortunately the food was nothing like the previous meals It wasn't tasty at all We will not order any more food from this restaurant

First order since change of hands ,and it will not be the last .lovely food

I try and get my order once a week, a real treat, great food, great service, great delivery

Piping hot, all the order there and delivered very quickly. Food was delicious - we will be back.

Good quality, competitively priced and quick delivery.

good service food nice and hot unfortunately didn’t like the taste of the chicken tikka masala

Tied you for the first time. Mine and my father's food was excellent however for the price of £10 per curry the portions are lackluster, to say the least. The most disappointing item was my mother's Tikka Massala, we all tried and agreed it was awful, had no sweetness and the texture of the sauce was very odd indeed. Would try again but for the money I didn't think we got great value.

Main dish had very little meat. Keema naan had a very thin layer of meat. Sag aloo was sweet, obviously had sugar in it

tikka masala used to be really nice when the restaurant was the taj mahal now it’s bland and creamy instead of flavourful

The spice levels were really good, the korma was really runny with sauce and a piece of chicken was tough, not the best korma, butter chicken was completely wrong

Delicious food. Onion bhaji outstanding, will definitely order again

This was the worst meal I have ever ordered in my life. The butter chicken looked wrong and tasted worse than it looked. I will never order from this place again. I ordered cheese naan there was no cheese in the naan

Food was below par. Very disappointed. Very wet stodgy rice and the strangest tikka masala I’ve had. Nan bread had a funny taste.

Good delivery time, hot food, but rather dry chicken

Not the same as it used to be before changing hands. Will not order again

Food was freezing cold and hid to go in the bin

Foods was nice but lamb meat was really rough and very chewy

Terrific quality and good value, a big thumbs up from me.

Really nice food. Got some free poppadoms. Thank you

Gorgeous food. Delivered fast and hot.

Lamb Jalfrezi was far too spicy, (and I like heat, but this was unpleasantly hot). No naan bread provided with the Balti ( most takeaways send a plain naan with a balti).

Great food, great service. Huge ThanXs

Good food with good service, 5 stars in my book

Really tasty food and fantastic service. My order arrived and I thought I had ordered a dish which I hadn’t. Phoned the Taj and they made and delivered the additional dish in very good time. Thank you so much, would definitely order from here again.

they gave me the wrong order - plain and simple. told me to go through just eat to get a refund. didn't want to remedy the order by sending someone out and gave me some story about how "they've run out" of a dish. fact is, i ordered 3 totally different dishes to what i got. only thing kind of similar was the curry - i wanted chicken but got veg. didn't order lamb rice, or that weird yoghurt sauce either. awful service, will never order here again.

The chicken Korma was very watery and quite tasteless. The mint sauce was again tasteless. All in all quite a disappointing meal.

Very good service, excellent hot and tasty food and generous portions

The food was piping hot and tasted amazing. It never disappoints. However the korma is extremely sweet other than that it was an amazing meal

Never had a bad meal or anything from here. Always really nice.

Came Saturday for a family meal. Restaurant was very cold and staff were complaining as well! Took over an hour to serve starters. Two were missing and only turned up after everyone had finished and were luke warm. Asked for 5 mins to order mains but waited ages, then took ages to arrive all covered in copious amounts of onions. Seems takeaways take priority over restaurant diners. Not staffs fault ours! This used to be a nice restaurant but now is poor all around. Should stick to being a takeaway.

Completely dreadful, 1.5 hours to finally severed starters 25 mins from first plate to last. 2.5 hours in and still main course not ordered. Staff very rude , although I felt for one of the waitresses who was clearly no older that thirteen

Always brilliant, never a bad meal. 🫶

Tried a different curry for a change, worked out ok. Food good, delivery on time and thats all good. Tasty

Food arrived piping hot & as delicious as always. Best curry house in Braintree *****

Only received partial order as onion bharji's were missing.

Excellent delivery driver. Food hot and tasty.

Stated delivered at 18.25, was actually delivered at 18.56! Lovely meal and wouldn't of minded waiting for it but annoyed the driver lied that it had been delivered on the app to pretend it was delivered on time.

We have tried many different Indian restaurants in the town but we always come back to Taj. Good food, good portion sizes and consistent quality.

Great food & friendly delivery.

The nanny bread were burnt and seemed stale. The sauces were far too sweet. Was very disappointed 😞

Food was 45 mins late and cold, food was not nice I would say the worst Indian in braintree. I would not recommend using this takeaway at all

As good as always.best Indian food in Braintree.

Food was room temperature , chicken was tough and they forgot my onion bahji ,that was delivered but later than the rest of my food.

Took about an hour and a half to arrive and all I could really taste was salt.

What a find. Ordered delivery. The food arrived hot and was amazing!! Nice portion sizes and delicious. Definitely will order again. Very happy. Thank you. 😊

Beautiful food and will definitely be ordering again soon! Never had a curry that good from a take away before. Fantastic food!

This is NOT an Indian restaurant with authentic Indian cuisine. This is Bangladeshi food. The onion bhajis were crumbly and dry with minimal flavour, the chicken tikka starter was laced with onions for no apparent reason - the chicken tikka starter however had an acceptable taste. The butter chicken main was absolutely crap, no flavour, no spices, just a milky mess with 5 bits of chicken. The garlic naan was ok. Table service was mediocre and this restaurant just does not provide a overall good experience at all. Better off venturing further afield for a more authentic experience with good tasting food / better service.

Preordered the food earlier in the day and it arrived 30mins late, with no apology. Wanted to pay cash but driver had no change. Had to reheat the food as it wasn't that hot. Food not the best I've had but flavor was good. Few bits of chicken were a bit tough. Overall I wouldn't order from them again.
