My tandoori chicken biryani had an added charge for the usually standard cucumber raita accompaniment and also had chicken pieces cut so small in it that they looked like corn kernels. My friend's dish was similarly underwhelming. Portion sizes on both dishes were tiny, they didn't taste very good and were expensive for the size. On my way out I noticed the NY Health rating of "B" in the window (ew). Disappointing.
This review is for delivery. My mom is the pickiest Indian food eater and she loved their samosas, even after I had them sitting out on the counter for a few hours. The food is extremely greasy though, so much that oil seeped through two bags and got on my coffee table. Oh well, my fault.
I went on a "pescetarian" kick for a few days so ordered their Vegetable Complete Dinner from Seamless. Whoa, talk about a ton of food for only $15! It was more than enough for two people. The food was delicious and plentiful but also had some serious layer of grease. I know that's why it was so yummy but I wish they cut back on that a bit.
Last time I ordered they took over an hour to arrive, much to my dismay, but the food was still piping hot including the masala chai (yum!!!)
I'm drooling thinking about this spot. They notoriously screw up delivery orders but I've never had an issue and even if I had, it's good enough for me to accept. Finding solid grub is kinda like finding a compatible suitor, you look past their flaws to reap the benefits. and the benefits of Taj Kabab are leaving with a food baby and an enormous stupid grin.
~*~*~*~For Take Out~*~*~*~*~
After a long and cold day, something hot and spicy was needed and it was the best time to try something new. I always see Taj Kabab King on Seamless and thought now was as good a time as any. I ordered two Tandoori Chicken Dinner Specials. One for me and one for my beau.
When the delivery man came, he had two big bags in his hand. I grabbed one, said thank you and tried to close the door. He stopped me and handed me a 2nd bag.
a SECOND bag!
For $14.95, the Tandoori Chicken special came with:
– Samosa: a fried pastry filled with potatoes, spices and chick peas
– Pakora: A fritter of potatoes and chilies
– Papadum: a cracker crisp bread
– onion, relish and chutney
(those are appetizers)
– Tandoori chicken: Yogurt marinated chicken with spices
– shamai kabab: ground lamb, chick peas and spices formed into a patty.
– lamb curry: Lamb stew in a smoky curry sauce
– cabbage
– dal: looks like lentils
– naan: a fluffy pita-like bread- great for dipping in chutney!
– saffron rice: pairs amazingly with curry!
– And tea or coffee
ALL OF THAT! IN ONE MEAL! and I ordered TWO!
Suffice it to say, this was a great deal of food. The food itself was actually quite good. I managed to polish off a samosa, some Naan and chutney, a spoon of the lamb curry- so good, tandoori chicken, a spoonful of rice and a bite of the kabab.
An amazing value. I am so upset I didn't know about this place sooner.
Let us all eat Indian!!!!
I really like this place for eating in. The waitstaff is attentive and I like the decor and metal glasses. THere is not much for Indian food choices in the area and this one is good. They don't deliver to me, but I will walk here as opposed to getting Indian from the other choice in the area.
Mango Lassis are sooo delicious. And every dish I have tried here is delicious.
Really good delivery Indian food. I walked past this place the other day and peeked in and it looks pretty legit – weird clocks on the wall, oddball art. If it looks the place and I can smell it from outside we might be dealing with good Indian.
Well I found myself hungry that night and took and placed a delivery order via seamless. I ordered the Lamb Taj Karahi. Never heard of it before but I said screw it, I am going different.
Order came quickly in under the estimated time. The food was great, well spiced but not overdone. The lamb was cooked perfectly and was tender. The rice was standard fair and everything arrived hot.
Small nitpick – no plastic utensils or napkins. I ordered to a bar and thankfully they had some or that would have been very aggravating.
Total price via seamless with tax and tip was $16. It was a little pricey for the amount of food you got but It was high quality and I would order from them again.
When I order a Kati Roll, I anticipate something specific to what is customarily served. This did not meet expectations as it was some chicken, chutney and other items in a fried shell and quite greasy- not in an actual Naan or Roti as one would expect. A big disappointment. I am giving it three stars for a couple reasons. One – I found the filing (chicken, etc…) to be decent (3 stars). So I am assuming that they do a decent job with other non-kati roll dishes with such ingredients. Two – the portions were very generous – provided a lot of veggies (lettuce, tomatoes) although they were not in the "Kati Roll" but outside. The sauces, specifically the additional chutney, was pretty good too. The pricing for the Kati roll was in range.
I ordered take out so I am not sure what their sit down service is like.
I may come back here and give it another try – obviously order something much different. I am very curious about their traditional bread – naan and roti – if that is quality and not fried, I would recommend they simply use that to make the Kati Roll? Just a thought.
Wow, reviews are all over the place for this restaurant. I'm new to the area, and am in an experimental mood, so stopped by for some takeaway curry. I got the chicken korma, which was creamy and nutty, as it should be. Rice was a bit oily. The volume is very generous for about $10, about two meals worth of food. Early signs being good, I'll probably give them another try.
