Grand Taj Indian - Brisbane

I know some of you may think this is unhealthy, but I'm going to talk about it anyways, so please don't interrupt me as it would be considered rude. Eating four biscuits covered in gravy is something I enjoy, especially when I add hot sauce to them in a bowl. I often forget about them until later at night when I have a Swisher Sweet in my mouth and am rapping to Wu-Tang Clan after a workout. It's a indulgent treat, similar to eating at Popeyes.

The food at this restaurant was fantastic. I thoroughly enjoyed the tandoori chicken, butter chicken, naan, and biryani rice. Although the prices were slightly higher than other places, the portions were larger. The naan was bigger and fluffier than others, which I loved. The tandoori chicken was packed with flavor and the butter chicken wasn't overly sweet, which was a bonus.

We order takeout from this restaurant at least once a week. The food is always reliable and must be delicious because we continue to go back. We are always happy with our experience there.

I have been craving Indian for aaGGGGesss, we normally have a simple meal on Fridays so it seemed like a good idea. We ordered by phone and got it delivered. It took around 40 minutes which I think is a good effort considering it was probably peek hour at the restaurant. My parents and brother shared the following: chicken ceylon, beef madras and lamb saagwala. My dad says they were 'better than average ' and we were all overwhelmed (in a good way) with how much food we actually got!! I ordered the lentil dahl with spinach (I ordered it as vegan, they are very good with dietary requirements!! Everything on the menu other than a few items, 3 I think, can be made vegan). I have never had this dish before so I was quite excited!! Despite the very spinach-greeny colour (looks can be deceiving), I really enjoyed it, so good with some bread! Very filling, I expect I 'll be eating dahl for my next few meals... We also ordered some sides, vegetable pakoras which were AMAZing. I ate so many, it was great. We also got vegetable samosas and meat samosas which were eaten so fast so they must have been tasty!! We were given two little boxes of yellow saffron rice which went well with all the meals, at no extra charge!! Overall, really lovely and hearty dinner, I am feeling very satisfied with both the food and the service. Don 't be put off by the slightly higher prices, you get so much food and it tastes super delicious! Would recommend for those who sometimes are not bothered to cook a meal but don 't want a fast-food meal.

This is my favourite local Indian; which is saying a lot, because I 've tried a lot of local Indian places over the years with predictably mixed results. My family used to get Indian from here when I was a kid, and even though I now live a couple of suburbs away I still sometimes make the trek over and am always delighted to find that the basics remain unchanged. Change is bad, consistency is good. As a card-carrying member of generation 'y ' I 'm nostalgic beyond my years, so the decade-spanning consistency of this place is a huge draw.<br/ <br/ The prices might be slightly higher than other restaurants, but every curry comes with a complimentary saffron rice so I feel like that more than covers any price discrepancies... and I love their rice... it 's yellow. Yellow rice (saffron or a close facsimile thereof) just tastes better; too many Indian places do **** yellow rice, this place should offer yellow rice cooking classes or something. Did you know that we 're biologically programmed to feel hungry when we see the colour yellow? So really yellow rice is just a good business move really. Anyway, I digress...<br/ <br/ The curries are chock full of meat so none of this 'three overly large pieces of chicken and that 's it ' business that I 've noticed elsewhere. The pieces of meat are also an appropriate size. I hate when I have to cut up the meat in my curry to fit it into my mouth, it 's extra work I frankly don 't have time for; this place has me covered. They use tandoori chicken in their butter chicken, and the flavour is amazing. Not too creamy, the chicken is nice and tender and the sauce is rich and flavoursome. I 'm also a big fan of the lamb saagwala. Their garlic and cheese naan is also amazing, big and fluffy... and full of cheese.<br/ <br/ I 'm aware that like 90% of reviews of Indian restaurants talk about the butter chicken and the garlic and cheese naan... and to a lesser (but no less typical extent) some type of saagwala. But let 's be honest; firstly if you 're the 'adventurous ' foodie type you probably aren 't going to rely on reviews to make an informed decision. Secondly, you don 't actually exist, because we both know you 're going to order a butter chicken and a garlic and cheese naan anyway. Am I wrong? You know I 'm not, you 're afraid of change... just like the rest of us. <br/ <br/ But yeah, good butter chicken. A
