Taj-Mahal - Ottawa

Best butter chicken and Naan bread that I have ever had. The dishes are fresh and delicious and the decor makes me feel like I am eating a fancy dinner but not at a fancy dinner price.

Ottawa farewell (for now) dinner.<br/ Kids wanted to eat Indian, so found this neat little Indian restaurant new Carleton U. Parking is a hassle which I do not like. We were acknowledged within a minute and were seated on a table in a near empty restaurant, but it was just after 6pm.<br/ <br/ Were given three chutneys and 4 papads. The chutney that was green seemed to be a spicy chutney, but turned out to be SWEET. The tamarind chutney was sweet and sour and the pickle was OK. The papads were roasted (fried at Namaste India)<br/ <br/ Ordered, Malai Kofta, Kumbh Mutter (mushrooms, peas and paneer) and Saag Paneer with naans. All the three dishes had a nice flavour to it and none of them were spicy or were overly greasy. With Kumbh Mutter to be the best of the three.<br/ <br/ The naan we were not pleased with. They were quite thin and therefore almost crispy on some parts. We were at Namaste India a couple of days ago and their naans are something to crave for soft and fluffy and light.<br/ <br/ If only I can have the dishes from here and naans from Namaste Utopia!<br/ <br/ We ordered a mutter pulao (peas rice) and it was perfect.<br/ <br/ With the bill each of us got a chocolate mint stick which is a nice touch

The best. Best Indian food in Ottawa. Hands down. No contest. We've been ordering for 10 years or more and we are never disappointed. Always flavourful and fresh. A great place with great chefs and servers.

Best Naan in Ottawa. My friends and I often debate over the best Indian food in Ottawa, and I'm a staunch supporter of Taj Mahal. I've been there several times over the year for supper, and I've always been happy. The Naan is fresh and it's the best I've ever had in my experience. The curries are good, The only meal I wasn't totally happy with was when my brother and I order the meal for two, since I hadn't tried any of the tandori options before. I found them to be a bit dry and not worth the price. Stick with the curries, and order the naan. I've never had a problem with the service personally, but I can understand the criticisms. They are sometimes slow, and seem to sometimes forget tables. It's almost like when a new table comes in, they switch their attention there. I have had to flag them down a couple times, or remind them about things, but they are always prompt after that. These issues are alI worth it for the quality of the food. I've had a good chat with one of the servers who is always there, and despite his harsh outward demeanor, was really friendly. It is my first choice when I want to go out for Indian food.

My husband and I have been eating for almost 10 years. It's our favourite Indian restaurant in Ottawa. The waiters aren't all that friendly but the food has never once disappointed us. The prices are good as well. If you are looking for an Indian restaurant with awesome food, give this place a try!
