We began our meal with a basket of Papadoms, served with 5pcs. The papadoms were crispy and light, serving as a perfect start to our meal. Next, we had the Samosas, which were generously stuffed with spiced potatoes and peas. The outer crust was golden and flaky, while the filling was flavorful, with a nice hint of heat.For the main course, we indulged in a classic Indian curries—Butter Chicken. The Butter Chicken was rich and velvety, with tender chicken pieces swimming in a creamy, tomato-based sauce that had just the right hint of sweetness. To complement the curries, we ordered both Garlic Naan and Cheese Naan. The Garlic Naan was soft and fluffy, with a delightful garlic aroma that paired beautifully with the curries. The Cheese Naan was indulgent and gooey, adding a comforting touch to the meal. We also tried the Beef Biryani, a standout dish that came loaded with tender pieces of beef, fragrant basmati rice, and a blend of whole spices that infused every bite with flavor. The biryani was served with a side of cooling raita, which balanced the spices perfectly. To wash it all down, we had the Mango Lassi, a refreshing yogurt-based drink that was thick, creamy, and bursting with fresh mango flavor. It was a perfect accompaniment to the spicier dishes and helped cleanse the palate.For dessert, we couldn't resist the Gulab Jamun. These warm, syrup-soaked dumplings were soft and sweet, providing a delightful end to the meal. They were the perfect blend of texture and flavor, melting in the mouth with each bite. Every dish was prepared with care, and the variety of flavors on offer catered to both spice lovers and those who prefer milder tastes. If you’re looking for a satisfying Indian meal, this place is definitely...
Read moreA fantastic Indian cuisine! For anyone around Northen Beaches who is happy to try Indian food our family highly recommends this restaurant. We have enjoyed Gur Taj's food over the years. Due to our little girls, we have done mostly weekly regular take-away including the COVID period and always found very nice. Our two girls love Gur Taj’s Mango Chicken, and it is not too sweet and well-balanced. They also love cheese nan and/or cheese nan with garlic. Really delicious! My wife is a big fan of hot Madras with beef or lamb. If you have any normal sour Greek yogurt in fridge, I strongly suggest you give it a go hot Madras together. It is very pleasant with rice basmati, plain naan or garlic naan. If you are into red wine, please try with Gur Taj Tandoori Chicken. This marinated chicken with ginger, garlic and lemon juice is beautiful with rose, pinot noir or Mellot, and my favourite entrée at the start. Highly recommended , very nice and generous serving. You won’t be...
Read moreOne of the best Indian restaurants you'll find.
The family who own the restaurant are relaxed but extremely genuine in their friendliness and desire to make you comfortable and happy. I have been going here for years and I have never come away in any way other than happy and satisfied, thank you!
I have introduced many to this place, including many a Brit who pre-empt their visit with their knowledge and expectation on Indian food and they have always come away with a positive review - including another in my last visit.
Highly recommended!
One of those places where you have your favourite dish, then you branch out to try something else and it becomes your new favourite. The naans are always great, whether plain or Garlic, but I do love their Keema-naan and the Peshwari naan is delicious and a must have with spicy dishes.
They even have a number of dishes on a bain marie ready for people who drop in unannounced for a...
