taj india indian restaurant

food connoisseur. some of the best indian food i've ever had... and i know indian, i am indian! chicken korma is my favorite there's just something special about the sweetness of boneless dark meat in a sauce filled with a treasure of almonds and sweet raisins! i recommend having the chicken korma with buttered naan; but seriously, everything i've had has been excellent. for the best indian food and service in lexington, i highly encourage people to go eat at taj india!

went there for the first time during their lunch buffet and it was absolutely delicious! the employees were extremely friendly, asking for our names, giving us suggestions on the best food, and making sure we were taken of. great place and look forward to coming back!

excellent ethnic food & servicei recently held a graduation party with about 30 attendees. we worked with a caterer to have bbq pork, but decided to order one indian dish, as some of my family grew up in calcutta. turns out, everyone chose this food above the bbq and raved about it. we had 0 leftovers of the chicken tikka masala. highly recommend and looking forward to returning. thank you, taj india!

love the lunch buffet, and that it comes with chai tea, always has a great selection of food at a great price. best indian restaurant in lexington!

two trips to this restaurant - one for dinner with my wife, the other a much larger order for thanksgiving with my family (who as a whole loved the food).  both instances were fantastic.  the food here is wonderful, the prices reasonable, and i can't say enough kind things about the owner and his wife, who offer tremendous service, including on insisting on helping carry my large order out to my car.  one of the best restaurant experiences i've had in a long, long time.  highly recommend.

taj india is arguably the best indian restaurant in lexington. the lunch buffet is inexpensive and offers a solid variety of curries and chicken dishes, not to mention, free chai! their regular menu items are a little bit more pricey, but completely worth it seeing that they prepare each dish with special care and time. the walls of the restaurant are covered with incredible works of indian art and really makes it a relaxing environment to eat in. the staff are all friendly and if you are a regular, they will definitely recognize your business and give you their best quality service. i recommend the butter chicken curry to anyone who is giving this restaurant a try. it's a very balanced blend of spices and the tomato base that leaves you with a tangy after taste in your mouth that begs to be filled with more. naan is a must when eating curry, any of their wide variety of bread is sure to be a good combination with your curry.

“excellent food”. while traveling, we stopped in lexington in. when looking for a restaurant we saw that there was a relatively new indian restaurant called taj india it was not too far from the hotel so gave it a try. i cannot say enough good things about our experience. the waitress was very helpful to us ordering from a new menu. we have eaten indian cuisine all over the country and this was among best meals we have ever had. the menu was imaginative in that there were pleasant twists to some of the dishes a slightly different menu from so many other indian restaurants. the soup and appetizer were very good, the main courses were excellent and i just wish that we were able to take this restaurant home with us to ohio. everything was cooked to order and the spice levels were easily controlled by cooking that way. nothing was too hot or spicy. my only wish is that we were able to find such a good restaurant in many cities.

taj india exists to please its customers with the food. the decor and atmosphere are of less importance although nothing is wrong. it is just not a restaurant that presents itself as one of great importance. it is what it is and the food is what will be remembered.

whenever we go back that way, we will definitely stop there to eat. it is a gem. the local population is very fortunate.

surprisingly good. my parents and i decided to try taj india a couple of weeks ago and i was skeptical when we first arrived as there were no customers and there were still none when we left, which i don't understand as the food was quite good and the staff was friendly and helpful. i was a bit worried because my mother doesn't do well with spicy food but they understood and her dish was not at all spicy hot, just very flavorful. she had the shrimp korma and it seemed like she got a lot of decent sized shrimp, my father had curried lamb and i had the lamb and spinach and both dishes were spiced just right and far more than we could eat--made for a nice doggie bag. the extras, nan, chutney, and raita were also quite good. we have only been there once but would gladly go again.

seriously the best indian in lexington! i have tried other places but these guys far surpass every other place. if you like indian this is the place!

awful. just bad in every way. went in for a buffet lunch, which was prepared sometime last week maybe. everything i tried was haphazardly thrown together, bland, cold, or stale. the woman serving us was simply rude.

cultural experience. very authentic tastes and varieties with up to date indian music. we had the buffet that had about 25 selections. didn't have much choice in healthier foods, but had great choices in delicious cultural foods that gave a nice experience.

i really love the food, its very authentic and one of the best in the lexington. i keep on coming to lexington and tried almost indian restaurant but no body can touch it anywhere. good and friendly service.
feel like home....
taj india rocks!!!!

surprised by rave reviews. it was only one visit, so maybe i caught them on a bad day, but i would rank food wise restaurant last in lexington (after bombay (although the last visit there was disappointing), masala off harrodsburg, masala in richmond(!) and 4 spice). it wasn't terrible, but i wouldnt be back. the people though are super nice.

amazing indian food. mr. balwinder is amazing he is the owner and chef, his food is amazing. everyone should come here and try all the food, it is a foodies indian dream. the service is really really good, and the food is even better! dinner or buffet everything her is awesome!

i purchased a groupon to try this restaurant out. we went during lunch -----they have a nice looking buffet, but we ordered off of the menu. the facility itself is ok, not overwhelmingly nice or anything but very clean. the service was great, and the food was delicious! i had that chicken tikka saag & my girlfriend got to chicken tikka masala (that i also tried). the ingredients were fresh and the naan was yummy too!! if you enjoy good indian food, this is a place to add to your list!
