Taj Mahal Indian Cuisine(North Miami)

I have ordered from this restaurant many, many times since it first opened. The first time, I was excited to see another Indian restaurant in the neighborhood as a counterpart to the one a few doors down that has been here for many years. I ordered the Lamb Korma and was SO blown away by the meal. The lamb was incredibly tender and juicy, the curry was delectable, and most importantly, the portion size was huge. I even had leftovers for the next day. Since that first day, I have ordered lamb korma every single time I've gotten food from here. At this point, I probably have had it 10-15 times. Unfortunately, the meat quality and consistency has not been reliable since my first few orders, which is so disappointing, because I've really have wanted to see this restaurant succeed just because my first experience was so positive. It seems like maybe the ownership, or at the very least the staff inside the place (and the kitchen), is changing a lot which could explain the lack of consistency. Today, my lamb korma kind of tasted like a tikka masala," the meat seemed like it has dried out a bit maybe from being refrigerated and reheated, and the palak paneer we ordered was way over-blended and very liquidy to the point that you can't really see any spinach anymore - just spinach color. Maybe that's just a recipe technique choice by the cook, so I can't really criticize. It tasted ok anyway. But also, the portion sizes have gone way down. This probably is a result of the changing economy though. I don't really know. I probably will continue to get food from here from time to time, but I hope they can take my feedback (as a loyal customer) constructively. Small businesses absolutely must succeed in this economy, so I just hope they can continue to improve.
