The Taaj — Restaurant in Northern Ireland

Went to this restaurant today,had some pompadoms and dips to start..simple flavoursome..then ordered chicken Fried rice,it came with a sauce...hubby ordered Rogan Josh,naan and Pilau rice....our food didn't take long to come out,but when I seen my meal I was shocked to say the least.it was a small portion of rice,there were no vegetables in rice,there was some egg and if there was a 1/8 of a chicken breast chopped into the tinest pieces,(to be honest we thought it may have been a pk of frozen rice,as basic as you could get.).the sauce well I nearly was sick looking at it,I can only describe it as dirty dish water full of gelatine,that's what it looked like and it tasted of nothing, disgusting,hubby's food was ok....we had a glass of water and a coke..the bill was not far off £50...I was very shocked to say the least..yes we knew the price on ordering but I didn't think my food was going to be so sparse...the worst meal IV probably ever had and value for money ,no absolutely not....needless to say we will not be eating...

This place is absolutely beautiful inside and out. Their food is stunning and very tasty authentic Indian cuisine. The hand painted wall art on the walls upstairs is remarkable, very talented work. Warm cosy atmosphere. Went here on date night with my partner, arrived at 9.30pm and they were still serving food till 10pm which was so handy that time of night. Highly recommend the Royal buttered chicken for main with pilau rice. However on this occasion I had the Lamb Tikka Masala with Pilau rice. My partner Chicken Madras with Pilau rice. We had poppadoms with the dips to go with mains. Starters were onion bhaji's and chicken pakora. So tasty from start to finish. Did not order dessert cause we were too stuffed to fit anymore in lol. We will definitely be back again to try more....

Indians are not welcome .We had a very disappointing experience.The manager Sandeep never smiled or treat us well infact he was very rude .But we noticed when a Irish family came in he was totally a different person he smiled and welcomed them and really polite behavior.He is lacking training .I don’t know how he became a manger .I went with my friend and asked for a table in corner then he told it’s for 4 people and gave us a table for 2 that’s ok but after 10 mins a native couple walked in a he gave them a table which had 4 seats and he happily removed the 2 extra set ups from the table.Only 1 Indian guy observed our food was good he smiled and treated us good.bcoz of this bad receptor could enjoy our food.Never ever go...
