Took my 2 boys here and they loved it! We had to park a way away as this is on a main road. We were the only people eating in the evening we went so service was swift, attentive and helpful. I wish I had taken pictures of the food but we were all hungry after a busy day at Thorpe park, food was an average sized dish which is great because we all get full on Indian food quickly and always leave loads. We took a variety of dishes from vegetarian, meat dishes, spicy and mild and cannot fault any. All dishes came super hot, well presented and most of all very tasty!! Definitely worth a visit and somewhere we would all go again!!

2 main dishes ok, had to wait too long before rice came out. Veg curry side and potato side dish tasted like mayflower curry powder not Indian. It was ok but unfortunately wouldn't come back, waiter was not welcoming.. I don't think he even spoken to us, just rolled his eyes and would walk off and return with any requests just felt uncomfortable.

For those that remember the old Taj sorry to say those days have gone. There was a local saying about the Taj " You never ever get a bad one" sadly that can't be said any more. The chef must have been changed. The food doesn't compare to what it once was. I'm not saying it's bad, it's just not as good as it once was. With a tear in my eye I have to say There are others that perform better and is now no longer my first choice..

The food we received was of low quality. Starting with the onion bhaji's which looked like hockey pucks and we're greasy and bland. Next up Chicken Madras again lacking real flavour, chicken rubbery and the sauce not rich. King prawn korma with just 6 prawns and not very tasty, bland and watery Naan bread, slightly stale flavour and not good quality. Tarka Dahl, was really watery and no flavour at all. We were really looking forward to a nice Indian meal and we feel that this was really poor and not aligned with other ratings.

Simply the best Indian restaurant in the Surrey by far, hands down, no questions asked! The food is of immense quality and is always tasty and packed with authentic fantastic flavours all for very very reasonable prices, it simply is the best Indian restaurant in Surrey don't bother going to any other Indian restaurant in Surrey it's a waste of time and money the Taj Mahal is honestly that good! Special shout out to the friendly staff who work there as well.

I've lived in Weybridge and Addlestone for years and tried a number of places. This is by far the worst... Everytime we order the order is either a very small portion, taste strange or something is missing. Gave them a few chances but they still can't get it right. A number of my friends in the area also said the same... You're better off trying Mystica accross the road or the Gaylord in Weybridge, much better! Don't let the stars or reviews fool you, i fell for it myself!

We decided upon this restaurant as we were staying at the Thorpe Park hotel and wanted to dine out locally. The food was delicious and the service was friendly and welcoming. My children opted for the usual Chicken Tikka masala which they said was a really good one! My chicken naga was very tasty and nicely spiced with naga pickle. The vegetable sides were also very good and the nan breads were fresh and light and probably the best I've had. All in all an excellent choice for a very tasty curry.

We visited not long after reopening and they were all geared up for guests, just mind the table with the hand sanitizer, i bumped into it twice. Food was good as always. It surprises me that people criticize this place, it is a traditional curry house, not a fancy attractive "place to be seen". Also why are generally the critics only people with less than 10 reviews?

This is the first Indian restaurant I ever went to and is what I judge all others against. Not fine dining by any stretch but your local curry house producing a great experience. So, yesterday evening I walked through the doors for the first time in 15 years after leaving the area. I was met by the same waiter as back then, he was older, I was older but he beamed at me and stuck out his hand. I was back! We were three, me, the wife and my 16 year old as a Birthday thing. Popadoms, prawn puri then chicken tikka rezala for me and Bangla beer. It was heaven, shame on a Thursday night that it was pretty quiet but new restaurants have popped up in the area. Love it, thanks for the memories

This place used to be great. However........., it has now gone down hill. I don’t know if their food supplier or chefs changed, but their food does not taste the same or look the same.Also it was definitely not fresh!Often I eat leftovers the following day - and never ever had a problem. But Taj Mahal’s food was off.When I tried to call to explain and give them an opportunity to rectify, they basically called me a liar.I’ve been eating curry all over the world for years - and I know a good fresh curry when I eat one!!!

I visited here with a few colleagues from work for the first time in February. The service was excellent and they didn't mind us asking for more poppadum and chutney appetizers to start.I thoroughly enjoyed chicken tikka masala and there certainly weren't any complaints from my colleagues either.I would say it is good value for money, good service and very clean indeed.I would probably recommend parking in the Tesco car park as many of the side roads don't have parking. It is extremely close to Addlestone Railway Station, which could be a plus.
