I love Taj- have for years. Butter chicken is the best- good lamb dishes and rice dishes. Yes it's a bit pricey- but worth it!

Taj has got to be one of the best Indian restaurants in the city. I feel like some of the others don't really meet the same kind of standards. You pay for the quality of the food and the service.
Normally, I tend to order chicken tikka masala, but I really like Taj's tender lamb korma and their butter chicken, which is extra creamy. Their samosas and pakoras are tasty, but their garlic nan, and okra and paneer vegetarian dishes are all really great starters and sides. -
Review from Praveen C.

Highly overrated Indian restaurant in Carling. It was a Saturday so there was no buffet option so we went a la carte. Here's what we ordered Mulligatawny Soup & Veg Soup ; Veg Pakoras (deep fried crispy batter with veggies) & the main course
The soups were barely passable they were made of the same base - the difference between the veg and mulligatawny was just that one had veggies and other had shredded chicken - very disappointing - veg pakoras were not fresh they were made earlier and were reheated in oil - duh! you can't fool the customers
For the main course we ordered Garlic Naan (Bread sprinkled with garlic bits), Matar Palao (steamed rice with peas), Malai Kofta (deep fried veggie balls in thick and creamy sauce), Indian Fish Curry and a dahi raita (yogurt mixed with cucumbers)
The breads were ordinary - could have been softer;
Malai kofta was OK - if you have tasted butter chicken before then replace the chicken with veggie balls and that's about it
Matar palao was again ordinary
Indian Fish curry was the worst - there was a stark contrast to the curry and the fish - fish was bland but the curry was too tangy and spicy which was a weird combination to eat either with rice or with a bread
dahi raita was the only good thing here
oh yeah the service was warm and friendly so that's for the another star
Would I go there again - naah I wouldn't think about it again - for the price I paid I could go out and eat thrice at Indian restaurants on Carling which serve much tastier food -

A small restaurant with good food, a little pricey but the service is good. The owner will assist with recommendations if you are new to Indian cuisine. Right across the road from the movie theatre, makes it good choice for date night!

By far one of the best Indian restaurants in Ottawa service is fantastic, they make you feel like a regular on your first visit. It isn't cheap but it is the example of you get what you pay for.
