Taj Katowice — Restaurant in Katowice

Like in New York, I had the honor of meeting the head chef who is as chill and friendly as the restaurant itself.

Taj Katowice, also known as Tajska is a great Thai place, even by New York standards. My absolute favorite restaurant next to airy Krakow's Vegan AF.

Two glorious, well-decorated floors verdant with potted plants makes Taj Katowice a great meeting place -- there is even a small mini dining room tucked away from the general dining area on the ground floor. Or take its large sweeping staircase upstairs for a view of the plaza below as you dine on a menu full of flavorful choices.

Tajska's design is impeccable, boasting a bar and a fresh, well-lit dining room layout that is love at first sight.

The best thing about Tajska is its perfectly seasoned, perfectly sized portions. Its spring rolls are nice and crispy. They also offer a great vegetarian soup with a mung bean base, robust with hearty sprouts and chunks of tofu. I envy those who can explore its carnivorous options, which seem a delight.

Was here for a typical summer lunch visit with a couple friends on a weekday. Despite the busy location and timing, prior booking wasn’t required. Was surprised by the spread on the menu.

However the waiter suggested us the lunch menu on that specific date. Being quite attracted by the duck salad starter and the basil minced pork on the lunch menu, was not a hard choice. I coupled that with the tom yum kung soup as an appetizer with no regret.

My friends ordered a bunch of dishes straight from the menu, the noteworthy ones being the stir fried beef and spring rolls.

Overall everything tasted up-to our satisfaction. The prawns used in the soup were super fresh and the food in general did not seem rushed.

Only thing which was a bit surprising was the long waiting time for the drinks. As for the food, the wait was justified since it seemed really freshly cooked and not just “tossed in the sauce”. Except for that, the staff were really friendly, ever-smiling and knew great English.

Highly recommend if you are in the centre of Katowice and looking for a decent...

2,5/5 for Green Curry. Coconut milk dominated the sauce. The sauce was too watered down also,there was not much in it. Spiciness non existent and was advertised as 1 pepper. There were some pepper pieces inside that were spicy but that's not how the spiciness rating should be evaluated to be 1 pepper. The sauce itself wasn't spicy at all. 30zl for that + 6zl for little noodle is tad too much in my opinion. For that price I would expect a much better meal, one that tastes better than what I could myself do using a spice for Lidl and some coconut milk. Aroi Thai and Bangkok restaurants have much better Green Curry, and Aroi Thai has it in their lunch menu for a much cheaper price (26zl with lots of rice). Overall I'm quite disappointed.

Judging by the overall score of this restaurant I expect other dishes than curry to be very good. Let's...
