			We love this place, a little bias because they were the buffet at our wedding. But, I mean isn't that about the highest compliment I can give? Of all the options, and trying to feed 250 people, we chose this restaurant for our wedding ten years ago and still go back.  Once you get out of the strip mall parking lot you are transformed a bit with some nice curio decorations and uniforms that don't fully transport you halfway across the world but do set the stage for food that does.  Also, legit, I appreciate that they will truly make food spicy for real and not just American spicy.... Which should be expected when your spice range has ten steps.		 - 7/03/2023

			My first time trying out this place and I must say the food here is just awesome. This is my favorite Indian resturant now in this area. The biryani here is just too yummy.		 - 6/03/2023

			I love this restaurant!  I have been here multiple times over the years and always have a great experience.  The food is delicious - the buffet has some good options and at a reasonable price.  I particularly enjoy those sauteed green beans and that yummy spinach dish at the buffet.  But, really, everything here is great - so make sure you try everything!  Vegetarian options: Definitely some vegetarian options  Kid-friendliness: Good for kids if they're willing to try Indian!  Parking: Big parking lot!  Wheelchair accessibility: I don't think there are any stairs		 - 6/03/2023

			My first experience eating Indian food and it was totally worth it! I got the lamb biryani at level 2 (I'm a wus), perfect amount of spice. They give you huge portions. The meat was super tender and melted in my mouth.  All the different spices and smells are like a party!  I'm looking forward to trying something else. The service was nice and maybe could have been more tentative, like checking on us more but overall great experience.		 - 5/03/2023

			We absolutely love this place! We always do take out however we decide to dine in and the experience was much different than takeout. The food was so good and fresh, & tasted way better than takeout only because by time you get home the food's not as fresh however still very delicious.  everyone is warm,inviting & we got seated quickly despite how busy they were. The biggest downfall was after we were seated and the food was brought no one paid attention to us, I sat around waiting for somebody to come over to our table for over half an hour to get more rice and nobody came... the only time somebody came was when they noticed that we were just sitting there for a while and and only to ask if we wanted dessert but never asked if we needed anything else. Also the packaging of leftover food could have been better, they provided us with styrofoam containers for entree which is a sauce base and it leaked all over the bag so not much is left in the container.  Definitely will be coming back but next time we'll make sure to tell the waiter to bring us more rice right away instead of having to wait around for somebody and to ask for better containers  Vegetarian options: they have an entire vegetarian appetizer & entree list  Parking: huge parking lot with lots of space  Dietary restrictions: vegetarian options available		 - 4/03/2023

			Yum!!! Can’t believe how lucky I was to choose this restaurant. Online ordering was easy. Got take out to eat at my hotel. Food was presented nicely and cooked to perfection. As a vegan I REALLY appreciate that they denoted dishes with an asterisk. Too bad no bread. Sorry I don’t live nearby. Would definitely go again. Thanks to Happy Cow for showing me the way.		 - 4/03/2023

			A great place to get authentic Indian food right off of Rohrerstown Road. The staff is super friendly and attentive. I usually stick with Tikka Masala or Curry, but switched it up and got the Jal-Freji. It was very flavorful and got my veggies in lol. The naan bread is out of this world and I think I could have been satisfied just eating that for my meal.		 - 3/03/2023

			Made a last second decision to come here and omg it did not disappoint. We ordered the tikka masala, chicken vindaloo, veggie tandoor, and samosas. Everything was amazing, staff was incredibly friendly and helpful (even taught me how to pronounce a few items on the menu 😊), and takeout was super quick. Will 100% be back!		 - 3/03/2023

			We have loved this restaurant for 20 years more or less. Dine in and take out during pandemic. Great flavor and helpful friendly staff. Spice level taken down for local taste I think but ask to have it taken up. Probably go here more than any in Lancaster. Love the breads, more than just naan. Kheer is always a hit with my family.  Vegetarian options: I not vegetarian but have really enjoyed some of their vegetarian dishes.  Parking: Always easy to park under a minute walk to the door		 - 1/03/2023

			Such a lovely restaurant that I was only finally able to eat at this past week! I would definitely recommend coming here for delicious, authentic Indian cuisine. Their Monday night buffets are just $15 for all you can eat plus naan (by request). Great deal! The staff is very friendly and accommodating. Decor/ambiance is very relaxing. I would come back!		 - 1/03/2023

			Taj Mahal is located close to the on/off ramp for 30, which makes it easy to find and get to. The inside of the restaurant has a nice ambience to it, and occasionally has a live sitar player which adds to the overall experience. The wait staff are prompt, friendly, and attentive. The food was absolutely delicious and set at an acceptable price point for its quality. Additionally, the food comes out relatively quickly, so you won't need to wait too long. The inside could use a bit more seating, but overall I didn't feel cramped. Definitely recommend if you're in the area and in the mood for Indian food.		 - 1/03/2023
