Taj Restaurant Aurich — Restaurant in Aurich

I am Indian we came from UK and we wanted to eat Indian food. So we searched on Google and went to The Taj Restaurant in Aurich. We ordered Indian food, but it was really bad and smelled like it was two days old. When we told them about the poor quality, the owner (a Punjabi man) did not listen. Instead, he rudely said there was nothing wrong with the food, started arguing with us, and even shouted at my British friends.

It was a terrible experience. The cooks were from Bangladesh, yet he claimed he had Indian cooks who could prepare authentic Indian food. What we received was not even 30% close to the real taste of Indian food. He is simply using the name “Taj Indian Restaurant” to mislead the local community.

• He did not accept card payments, and there was no sign stating “cash only.” • When we asked for his bank details to transfer money, he refused and even claimed he didn’t have a bank account — unbelievable! • He also refused to accept British Pounds in cash. • We had to search for a cash machine at 8:30 pm, far from the restaurant, withdraw Euros, and travel back just to pay him. • When we paid in cash, he shorted us €5. When we asked about it, he just twisted his face, gave no answer, and didn’t even apologize.

While leaving, my British friends told him that because of his rude attitude and poor food quality, they would never come back. He arrogantly replied, “I don’t care if you come back or not, I make tons of money from local people.”

This was completely unacceptable and pathetic behavior. As an Indian, I can confidently say — if you expect authentic Indian food here, forget it. Once you eat his so-called “Indian food,” I guarantee you will feel...

Moin und Hallo, Ich habe heute meiner Frau und mir im Taj etwas bestellt und selbst abgeholt. Was die Maskenpflicht, sowie die Erfassung von Kotaktpersonen anbelangt = 0, im Restaurant sowie in der Küche alles „oben ohne“---Peinlich! Das Essen…… geschmacklos ist noch gelobt! Der Spinat mit Käse meiner Frau, war sehr fade, der Reis ohne Aroma, so wie wir es vorher nicht kannten, schade. Mein Chili Chicken hätte man besser als Sweet Chicken in der Speisekarte benennen sollen, von Chili nicht die geringste Spur die Schärfe fehle gänzlich (laut Karte „scharf“), der Reis wie bei meiner Frau, fade und ohne einen Hauch von Salz oder ähnlichem, Kräuter und Gewürze ebenfalls Fehlanzeige. Seit, so wie es aussieht, der Inhaber gewechselt hat fehlt nahezu alles was uns vorher so sehr gut gefallen hat. Wir waren in den letzten Jahren sehr oft im Taj, das Inhaberehepaar war sehr nett und freundlich auch deren beiden süßen Kinder trugen ihren Beitrag zu einem gelungenen Abend bei, aber nun… Freundlichkeit ist inzwischen etwas anderes und die Einhaltung, besser gesagt die Nichteinhaltung von Corona- Schutzmaßnamen sind Inakzeptabel! Gott sei Dank hatte ich meine MFP-3 Maske auf und war somit geschützt, aber was machen all die anderen mit nur einer einfachen Maske????? Fazit: Das Taj ist nicht mehr das was es mal...

We got to know that there is an Indian Restaurant in Aurich and thought of trying it to have homely food. Taj Restaurant was the one and we ordered Chicken Biriyani. It was really good with Almonds garnishing. They provided some kind of Garlic Bread which tastes too good along with sweet raitha for the biriyani combination. Price was OK for the quantity...
