TAJ MAHAL Annupuri — Restaurant in Niseko

I have been coming to the different Taj Mahal locations for over 13 years, and while the food has always been mediocre, we returned because we enjoy Indian food once in a while and they are near by. However, my recent visit to the Annupuri location was very disappointing. The service was terrible and atmosphere felt miserable - not a single smile. It felt very unwelcoming. Even though it's a small restaurant with only few tables occupied, we were instructed to order through their new QR code system. The whole ordering experience felt cold. The food is priced at approximately ¥2,500 to ¥3,000 per adult. When we were leaving my child was watching the chef make naan. When my child said ごちそうさまでした to the chef, he didn't even acknowledge him. It was disappointing and left me thinking that this was probably the last time we will come back. After 13 years of supporting Taj Mahal in Hirafu, Kutchan, Annupuri, Kimobetsu, Sapporo factory, Chitose and at various festivals, we won't be dinning here anymore . I can see that you clearly don't care if we...

My friends always come to this restaurant when they visit Niseko because of the high quality of the food. The restaurant is decorated with India flare and the service is polite and professional. Me and my party were seated immediately and we quickly got to ordering. I hadn’t had Indian food for a minute so I just randomly ordered and tried anything that looked interesting. For drinks we got the strawberry lassi and masala chai both of which were sweet and delicious, the latter was hot and really hot the spot. We followed with fried cheese and fried chicken both of which were accompanied by two lovely sauces. We also got the cheese naan and regular naan followed by the Taj Special lamb and Butter Chicken. Everything tasted great but I was especially impressed with the lamb because it was strong flavored and slightly spicy which is what I needed on a cold snowy day. I recommend this restaurant if you come to Niseko and...

A wonderful surprise! We stopped in as this was a restaurant close to the Annupuri Ski Area. From the moment you walk in, you know you'll be getting a great experience as the smell of spices filled the interior of the restaurant. The staff were super friendly, especially the man that helped seat us and take our order. It seems he's trilingual as he spoke perfect English, Japanese, and what sounded like Hindi to the kitchen staff. The food itself was so well executed it was probably one of the best India meals I've had, and I have had a lot. Each of the dishes come out piping hot and uniquely flavored. The naan was the real star of the show as it was baked in a tandoor and they were massive! The decor was cute and cozy and this was the perfect meal after a morning on the slopes to warm you up. I highly recommend this place if you're...
