Restaurante Taj Mahal — Restaurant in San Sebastián

First Indian restaurant we tried in San Sebastián as this was close to our Airbnb. You walk in and sit anywhere you want but service is a bit slow, unless you call the waiter over. Avoid sitting inside because there is a strong bathroom sanitizer smell.

We opted to to get menu del día (for 14 euro, although it looked delicious) and instead ordered the Tai Mahal Salad (very good), meat samosas (very good especially with the tzatziki sauce), butter chicken (not as buttery as I’ve had it in my native Los Angeles), lamb karma (really sweet, and not exactly my liking), rice (plates don’t came with rice), and cheese nan (delicious, best I’ve ever had).

So the dish costs not only 10,99 it costs 10,99 + rice. And all of that doesn’t make you...

Hospitality was quite rude. 1 hr of waiting for nothing. Destroyed the real indian taste. One smelling steel glass provided between two people to drink water. Charged more then what was mentioned in the menu card. And justified that the menu rate is updated, which you know when you only pay the bills. Did not provide to the transaction receipt with excuse of machine not working.

I didn't find a single positive point to see this place again. This place is an...
