“ Our experience was amazing delicious food delivered fast. It was very tasty. Very nice ambiance. ”
“ The food is always delicious and piping hot. I've yet to be dissatisfied dining here, I've been here 4-5 times that I can remember. The staff os kind and they have a neat little Middle Eastern market onside for foods, drinks, and some trinkets. You also get a glass of water upon sitting down. It's a nice, clean, kind restaurant to dine at with rather reasonable prices in my opinion. Definitely worth my 5 stars! ”
“ Restaurant and bathrooms very clean. Service was very prompt and cordial. Food was good. Saag Paneer (Level 5 spicy, but not too much) was around $13. The bread with minced lamb was 5.99 was good but I would not pay the extra over regular bread. I will let you decide the value on both. There were supposed to be daily lunch specials. Specials were mentioned on the menu but did not seem value oriented. I don't normally spend this much on lunch but was a nice meal. ”
“ Pretty good, better than last time. Not expensive. I had their mushroom saag, and my dinner partner had malai kofta. We had an appetizer of garlic naan. Both were very good, we decided. The portion sizes were a bit smaller than our local favorite Indian Restaurant in Bloomington, and the garlic naan bread was smaller, too. Nonetheless, flavors were good and correctly spiced. The food comes slowly, but only one waitress and their Saturday night venue was PACKED. The grocery items, we decided, were, pretty good in selection, perhaps higher priced than a larger city but probably handy to have. The price for the dinner was good, however. Overall, the taste is great! Good for parties up to perhaps a dozen or so. Lots of busy personnel there. ”
“ We stopped here on our way home. The reviews were great and are spot on. The restaurant is dated, but is spotless. The tiny grocery holds most of the necessities for desi cooking. The restaurant was quiet: only three tables. We had butter chicken, garlic Nan, lamb curry and spinach pakora. Everything was super delicious. The butter chicken sauce was the best I have ever had. The rice was perfect! Terra Haute has some gem restaurants, and this is one of them. ”
“ Butter chicken is the best in the area. The service is friendly, and the place its self is always best and clean. ”
“ To be honest, I wasn't expecting much from any restaurant in Terre Haute. But I should have because Taj Mahal has fantastic food! I'm not an expert in Indian food, but if I could describe what I want/like - this would be it. Everything is super flavorful. I need white-girl spice level, which they happily accommodated. Be prepared for some unfortunate typos in the menu, but don't let them distract you. I'd much rather dine at an establishment that can cook than spell. The staff was all so friendly and service was prompt. ”
“ I think that this establishment has stellar vegan offerings, and I love the fact that their menu is vegan inclusive. The Tadka Dal was delicious. I look forward to sampling this restaurant's vegan friendly cuisine again in the imminent future. ”
“ It's Excellent - if you are craving Indian food then come here. It's not Terre Haute excellent -it's anywhere in the USA excellent. So if your in town from Chicago or Indy or Champaign or anywhere - this is your place to eat excellent Punjabi Indian food. Food (A+) Had the butter chicken and garlic naan - it was excellent. Felt like I was in Punjab India - this is as authentic as your going to find in the USA. I got a 3 spice and it was like a mild plus. The naan was flavorful and garlicky - in a good way. While the butter chicken had the right amount texture so it was not runny nor was it too thick and creamy. They nailed it. Service (A-) It's an ethnic place run by first generations so your going to get really good food made fast without maybe the other pleasantries you are used to. But the owner is super nice and the staff is trying their best. The food is good and it comes out fast. Value (A-) So for one person it is around $25 out the door to get full. If there were a few more chicken pieces it would have been an A - if o had leftovers - A + Try this place and you will not be disappointed- I come to Terre H. Once a year and will always stop here. They have a mini grocery store inside the restaurant also. ”
