Taj Mahal Restaurante — Restaurant in Região Geográfica Imediata do Rio de Janeiro

Had high hopes for this place based on other reviews here. But unfortunately my wife and I were disappointed. We are both vegetarian so went for the somosas, these were reasonable in taste. We both also enjoy paneer dishes in general, so went for the malai paneer tikka starter too. Upon arrival of the dish, something didn't look right about the colour. Having tried a bit, I felt cheated that it was in fact ricotta cheese and not paneer (those who know, know that both of these are created differently) . Based on this, we went for channa masala as the main. Again this was lacking in taste and nothing like a dish of this name I have tried anywhere else. As a vegetarian I was hopeful of this restaurant and one that I could make multiple visits to - unfortunately not to be.

Waiters or management did not ask if/how we enjoyed our food. But I did asked the waiter, questioning the paneer, but he said 'it was paneer'.

NB: I am from the UK, where there is a abundance of Indian restaurants and I have been to 10s if not 100s of different ones. I have also tried this cuisine in other various countries around the world. Also have an...

" pior experiência de sempre - não confunda esta experiência de comida indiana genuína."

Today is the second time I am visiting and I must summarize the experience as " ok , just moderate " at it's best . I try and eat at Indian restaurants all over the globe and have extensively ate in India, and this restaurant serves food which is sort of similar , but no were close when It comes to the taste and spice as such. Without being offensive , I would also politely put it as " fake Indian food " , and that's a genuine description of the 2 times I have been here so far . So if you are coming here for a authentic experience - I will warn you - the food is nothing close to authentic . I had the desert on the second day and the gulab jamun texture was like rubber , it boils my blood on why this restaurant even gets good reviews - probably because there are no...

Thought we would try our 1st brazilian indian . The staff gave us a warm reception at the doorway the place was clean and tidy. Bonus most of the menu was in English. I ordered the tika starter and the lamb rogan gosh. With rice and a garlic nan, my daughter went for the veg samosas ,then the butter chicken and rice , with the butter nan. I found my starter of the chicken tikia to be very tasty and the daughter loved her veg samosas 4 good sizes For the main I found my lamb organ gosh to be tasty and the rice could have served two people. The daughters butter chicken she said the sauce was lovely but her 1st bite of chicken she said was chewy and this put her off the chicken so she just poured the sauce over the rice and she was fine with that , in all it was enjoyable in my eyes , daughter thought the chicken could have been better or...
