Taj Caterers & Cafe — Restaurant in Maryland

Ordered takeout through a third party service. They sent me a message saying the food will be ready in 10 to 15 minutes and that was followed 10 minutes later by an email saying the food would be ready in 25 to 35 minutes, which did not work at all with the budgeted time I had for waiting. And then when I showed up for the food in 35 minutes after running another errand they told me another 10 minutes. So timing isn't great. The food wasn't bad tasting but they entirely missed the mark on several fronts, the first one being the worst, that the food was so excessively salty that every bite required drinking copious amounts of liquid afterwards. They also weren't very good at responding to special requests, we asked for no spice, not mildly spicy, and no cilantro on anything, and although a couple of the entrees were fairly mild, the third one was incredibly spicy and almost everything had cilantro on top as a garnish or mixed in. If they couldn't accommodate then they probably should have said something on the menu in the first place because the person in our party who could not eat cilantro ended up not being able to have anything but the Samosa which wasn't much of a meal. In general sort of a middle of the road experience, not terrible...

I've ordered from Taj caterers a few times for individual meals. The food is pretty good. However, if you order for large meals that are not weddings, it's hard to get them to respond or to confirm orders. I tried to place an order for an event for 30 people about 3 weeks in advance of the event, and was always told to come back or call back later because they were too busy at the time. I went to the store and got the cell phone number of the owner who gave me a specific day to call and place the order. I did as instructed, and then was told to call on another day. Again, I did as instructed. And was eventually told that they were too busy and wouldn't be able to cater the event. Their food is good but the service is completely unprofessional. I would not recommend them to anyone and will discourage people I know from using this...

This review is on their Catering

My friend was planning to get married this year after canceling his wedding last year. After the COVID incident, they were fortunate enough to married this year.

Taj Caterers, the catering service they used, provided at least the best service or, should I say, the greatest Indian food I've ever eaten. Being African American, I have strong taste buds. The quality of their service astounded me. I'm glad to see these guys are reverting to catering after a Big COVID hit. I believe, Catering, must be...
