Don't wait for a chance. Go make...

I attended my friend’s 50th birthday party at Taj Mahal Livermore, and the experience was extremely disappointing.

The owner misbehaved with one of our friends and shockingly demanded that the host remove him from the party — all because he politely mentioned that the drinks were not up to par. Instead of addressing feedback professionally, the owner reacted by removing eight cocktails from the table. To make matters worse, the owner even threatened to call the cops on this guest who had merely given honest feedback.

To add to the frustration, my niece, who is 22 years old, showed her valid ID to the owners, yet Priya and her husband took nearly five minutes to check it and even asked her multiple unnecessary questions before finally letting her order a cocktail. It was simple math — her age was clearly over 21. She’s a college graduate and a full-time employee at a respected company, yet was treated with needless suspicion.

Furthermore, I was in charge of the music, and at 9:03 PM, the owner abruptly turned the music off without warning. When I asked what happened, he rudely responded that the music needed to be shut down. His tone and behavior were completely uncalled for. This level of hostility and unprofessionalism is shocking — and sadly, not new.

I had hosted a party here in February 2025, where they overcharged and behaved unethically. The owner, Priya, did eventually realize the mistake and issued a refund, but her husband’s rude and ill-mannered behavior left a lasting bad impression of the restaurant, and the owners as well. Unfortunately, his conduct at this recent event showed he has learned nothing from that event to this date.

Our money is hard earned, and we spend it to celebrate, not to be insulted. A place that should bring joy ended up causing stress.

The only person worth appreciating is Ajit, the manager, who handled the situations both times with grace and professionalism — though I genuinely wonder how he continues to work for such unpleasant owners.

I apologize for not sharing the truth earlier — only because I hoped they would learn and grow from their mistakes. But from February to October 2025, all I’ve seen is ego and arrogance. I genuinely wish Priya the strength to guide her husband toward professionalism and humility.

Save yourself the disappointment, and find a better place that values its customers and knows how to treat people...

Tried lunch here. There serve buffet for lunch for all days. Do check the prices before you go. The buffet for today was $34.99 for adults for a Friday afternoon lunch

They had the following items in their buffet Sprout salad, fresh cut fruits, onion pakoda, spring roll Chicken kebab and malai chicken Brinjal, Okra as Subzis, Dal, coconut rice, Chicken biriyani and Veg biriyani. Chicken curry (don't recollect what it was named) Gosh curry. Sweets: Leechee halwa, Gulab jamun and Saffron Kheer.

May be a Friday special: Alloo tikki and pani poori.

Reviews about the restaurant: Located in the vicinity of the Livermore outlet mall, prime location. Great setup and beautifully looking interiors. Elegant and great outlook for a restaurant.

Reviews about the staff: Nothing special, all of them really looked like they were either stressed out or not happy about their work over there. They did well when they interacted with the customers, otherwise they all were in their own world.

Reviews about the food: I would say I had a below average experience. I was expecting something special from this place, given the location they are and the prices offered. They had plenty on their menu, however, nothing was outstanding.

Sprout salad was good. Dal was good -- but you can get them else where that serves equally good (in fact better at few places)

They made pakodas and placed with the lids closed -- its no surprise, its not going to be crispy nor will taste any good.. same with spring roll.. Why will you prepare these items and lid them up and place a fire to keep it warm under steam :) They had coconut rice and might have forgotten to add salt to it..

All other dishes were surely Indian flavors but nothing outstanding that I would want to remember or want to go back to this place.

It might be a place for someone who has not tried Indian flavors yet. But this is not the only place, there are other places, tha have better flavors at much better pricing..

Overall, one time visit..

If they are looking to survive, they got to pull their sleeve up and create great food and...
