Ordered a vegetable biryani, which had tasty charred veggies but not enough flavour in my opinion. I preferred other biryanis I had abroad, but I’m willing to give this restaurant another go in the future, as the food does seem to be authentic and varied.
Prices are high (imo) but the portion is very generous — I was eating alone and I could serve myself THREE times with the amount in my little metal thing! I do wish they had a little tasting menu or something, as I dine alone when eating Indian (my boyfriend is not a fan) and I’d love to get to taste more dishes without having to order the big portions separately.
However, I felt ripped off, as the lassi didn’t have a price on the menu and I ordered anyway (because I adore it) and when it was time to pay, turns out it was a staggering 95tl for a glass — I wasn’t expecting more than 50 something, so it stung.
Bring cash as well, as it’s usually cash-only. I didn’t know and only had my card with me, and thankfully, it seems that their system was working that day. There is a sign saying cash-only, but I only saw it well after...
Read moreWe went to The Taj Indian Restaurant in Alsancak for dinner and absolutely loved it! The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the staff were extremely friendly and attentive.
Our food arrived quickly after ordering, and every dish we tried was delicious. The restaurant serves authentic Indian food, full of rich flavors and perfectly cooked spices. We enjoyed it so much that for the rest of our stay at a nearby hotel, we ordered food delivery directly from them through WhatsApp — such a convenient and pleasant experience.
The vegetarian dishes were especially wonderful — flavorful, well-prepared, and with portions large enough to easily serve two people.
Highly recommended for anyone looking for authentic Indian food with great service...
