Taj Mahal Restaurant — Restaurant in East Devon

The food was very good. However it's one star from myself and the rest of the party (4). Wednesdays are advertised as 3 courses for £12.95 per person. This is the reason we booked a table for a Wednesday ( its even advertised in the window at this price). When we got seated we asked the waiter about this deal and he sheepishly walked off and then sent a different waiter over. After being given our drinks we asked the other waiter about the deal and he told us they were not doing that anymore, so basically they are getting customers in through false advertisement and waiting for you to be seated with a drink before telling you that it's not happening. We then looked in the menu to see a similar deal at £17.95 per person again when asking about this deal we were told that wasnt happening either. They eventually agreed on the latter deal. We weren't the only people caught out by this that evening either and another group were completely refused both of those deals. Good job the food was nice otherwise we would have...

Ordered Taj Mahal for delivery at Ladram Bay holiday park. Tipped the driver well as I only waited 35 mins from the time I ordered, only to be annoyed that I ended up with less poppadoms than I what ordered and no mango chutney sauce that I paid for. 😩

Anyways, onto the food. I’m an avid curry fan, Indian is my go to food for most of my meals. I can handle a bit of heat and eat a wide range of curry dishes.

I didn’t want crazy hot, so ordered the chicken tikka Balti with pilau rice and garlic naan. Balti is quite a dry heat dish. A heat id absolutely recommended for beginners of spicy food. It’ll warm your head up, and helped to clear my blocked nose, but doesn't leave your mouth needing to drink loads of water or milk to cool the heat and aftertaste and is very comfortable.

This Balti is definitly one of the best Balti dishes I have eaten from many different Indian restaurants.

I’ll certainly be ordering again...

Congratulations to the chef, the food was delicious, with well marinated tender meat. All dishes ordered were exceptionally tasty.

The appearance of the waiters needs to improve as they looked unkempt. The waiter took our card and tapped to pay, having previously added a few extra pennies to our bill…only 50p though…

The restaurant decoration looks dated. Had very clean white tablecloths. The tables are fairly close to each other as often happens in Indian restaurants with approximately a 50% occupation. We did not have to wait long to be served. The portion sizes are quite large. Food was lovely but improving the appearance of the waiters and slight modernisation of the premises, would make the...
