تاج محل بن عكنون — Restaurant in Ben Aknoun

Moderately recommended. Nice, beautiful and clean restaurant with good selection of Indian dishes. Overall, the taste of the food is ok.

We ordered the chicken biryani, sheesh kebab, chicken tikka, garlic and cheese nans. Everything was ok. But in all honesty, we have tasted better Indian food at another restaurant in Algiers.

The biryani here is less spicy and tasted more like plain rice. The original flavour of chicken tikka has been diluted to suit the local taste. The nans are too thin and the cheese used has a slight bitter taste which is different from other restaurants. But, the sheesh kebab was good. All the food come in big portion.

Drinks choice is limited. We ordered the mango lassi. But the taste of yogurt is too overwhelming from the mango.

Price wise, it is within the mid and higher band range.

This restaurant has beautiful interior deco and clean toilets. Recommended if you wish to entertain guests. Service was also fast. It is run by highly motivated and professional staffs. The manager is also friendly and will make sure all the guests are well served.

A setback about this restaurant is the limited parking space. The road leading to this restaurant is also narrow. Making parking a bit cumbersome. But depending on the time, there's a parking attendant to help customer secure a...

We recently tried this Indian restaurant and had such a wonderful experience! The food was absolutely delicious, the place spotless, and the authentic décor made us feel like we’d stepped right into India. The staff were professional yet so friendly, greeting us with smiles and making sure everything was perfect.

We didn’t have to wait long for our order, and the drinks, especially the mango lassi and mojito, were refreshing and full of flavor. The cheese naan was realllyy tasty with a generous amount of creamy cheese inside.

We ordered tikka masala and saag paneer as our mains, and everything was perfectly spiced and satisfying.

What I love about Indian food is how economical it is, we ate until we were full and still had leftovers to take away. For two people, we paid around 8000 DA, which felt like a great value for the quality and quantity.

Definitely a spot worth visiting if you’re craving authentic...

Very bad service, both the waiters or the owner. The rice had no salt at all, the dishes were far from the authentic indian food. The lacy drink is a real scam, that is like just sour milk which should not be. When I complained about some details in a very polite way, the cashier was very offended and got defensive in a very unprofessional way like he did not welcome criticism. Besides, the prices were very very high. 900 DA for a portion of plane rice is exaggerative. We could also hear waiters having an actual fight. Also, the naan bread was very dry and hard.

I am not sure why this place is famous even though I could not find the slightest reason to ever go back there again, though I have more than a reason to not go again.

I strongly advice you to avoid this, overpriced non-authentic Indian food at a place that do not welcome...
