What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Indian Taj is highly praised for its authentic and delicious Indian and Nepalese cuisine, with many reviewers calling it the best they've ever had. The family-run atmosphere, personalized service, and generous portions contribute to a very positive dining experience. While most reviews are glowing, one diner found their curries to be watery and lacking in flavor, although they noted the garlic naan was good.
"Amazing food! We visited here on our last night of our week-long holiday and likely would have came here more had we known how amazing it would be! Lovely family-run restaurant where the service is personal and attentive. We had the Mixed grilled for 2 people to start and it was absolutely delicious. Our main courses of the Tikka Masala and Roganjosh were deliciously tasty. The prices were beyond reasonable for what we enjoyed. Would highly recommend"

"Great night! The food was absolutely delicious! Definitely the best biriyani I’ve ever had. Starters and kids dishes were also nice. Staff were so kind and helpful, really highly recommend. As a side note, it’s looking onto a kids playground suitable for toddlers, an added bonus where adults can enjoy food and toddlers safely play!"

"Fantastic food, out family of 5 loved our meals and with a small park literally outside the restaurant it was ideal for our 2 young kids. It was so good we went twice the same week. Mixed grill,.the Currys and man bread all excellent. We come to Olhos every year for the past 4 years and this was probably my favourite place to eat so far. Would highly recommend to anyone."
