Indian Taj — Restaurant in Albufeira

Amazing curry, genuine Nepalese cooking, the best I have had since I spent 3 weeks in Nepal 10years ago. Lovely welcoming staff. I mentioned I was vegan when asking about the naan bread and whether it was butter or oil on the garlic naan, the lovely server advised me that there might be milk in the dough so suggested kindly I have rice. My wife and I shared the vegetable samosa and veg pakoda to start. They were both wonderful and fresh, the spice mixes were superb. I then had the aloo modi tama which again, had a superb spice blend. I had the mild which gave a little gentle heat whilst being very tasty. My wife had the chicken makhani which she described as rich and creamy with succulent chicken having been cooked in the tandoor. The staff were friendly and welcoming, if we were staying longer we would definitely visit again. We both had a fabulous meal and I will happily recommend to anyone.

Wow!! Visited this gem of a place a few days ago, just before they shut down for the end of season, and how lucky were we to stumble across this!!

Being end of season we didn't expect it to be busy, and first judged the fact of this quietness, that it might not be all that....again we were that impressed, we came two days in a row...and this was our first time to Portugal, we should have been trying local delicacies ha!

Food was soooooo good (especially the basic chicken curry)🤤. Also great special offer - 2 course and side plus small beer for on €15!

All freshly prepared, very humble staff, and prices were amazing, especially Super Bock beer...couldn't fault the service, food or restaurant!

Amazing guys! Enjoy your break away...Keep it up, and hopefully see you again next year! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We had a fantastic evening at this Indian curry house. From the moment we walked in, the service was attentive and warm. The food was absolutely lovely—flavoursome, fresh, and clearly prepared with care.

I went for the chicken balti, which was beautifully spiced and served piping hot, while my partner had the chicken tikka masala, which was equally delicious. Both dishes were prepared to our preferred level of heat, which was a great touch. The papadums were crisp and fresh, accompanied by a selection of sauces that were full of flavour.

A special mention goes to the young waiter, Bhupen, who looked after us—friendly, attentive, and genuinely helpful throughout. The owner herself was also very welcoming and made sure we were happy with everything. It’s rare to feel so well...
