The Taj - 10 Carlton Parade

One of the best curry houses I've tried in the area. Service is friendly, portions generous and tasty, and great value menu. Loved the Baileys and after eight with the bill - which I've only seen at Flavour of India before it changed hands. Everything (bar the poppadoms and chutney) tasted fresh, and came out nice and hot. They could do with reorganising the 'specials' part of the menu though - it's a confusing mess!

Wednesday curry deal is an absolute must. Food was banging, service top notch, favourite wine available (oyster bay) at affordable prices. Recommended a chef special that was not on the menu that was delicious & devoured. Don’t walk past, dine in!!!

Only had takeaway a couple of times. Amazing food, quick service and delivery.

UPDATE TO BELOW REVIEW.. Just did another order, which they cancelled, when calling the guy claimed we are out of their delivery area and are too far. Which makes 0 sense. He was also blunt and emotionless. Also seemed to imply I was lying about ordering before.. shame after left such a good review lasttime. Will now seek elsewhere. ----- Orginal review below. If you're searching for the most authentic, flavour-packed Indian meal, look no further! This was, without a doubt, the most flavoursome Indian food I’ve ever had. The Lamb Tikka Phall was fiery and rich, bursting with bold spices yet beautifully balanced. The Chicken Chat Puri Starter (extra hot!) delivered a delightful kick with succulent, well-seasoned chicken wrapped in soft, warm puri—perfection! The Keema Rice was another knockout, infused with deliciously spiced minced meat and the perfect amount of heat. Every dish was cooked to absolute perfection, the sauce was thick and indulgent, the meat was tender and full of flavour, and everything arrived hot and steaming, just as it should. Timing was spot on, proving that they care about both quality and service. Of course, the papadam added that satisfying crunch to round off an unforgettable meal. A truly exceptional dining experience—I’ll definitely be ordering again! Highly recommend.

My original review has changed as I’ve now visited multiple times. Food is very good and service is excellent. Nice local restaurant. No complaints and recommend.
