The food is outstanding, and at this point I've tried nearly everything on the menu. From the butter chicken to the Taj Grill, every dish is consistently incredible. The cocktail program is just as impressive. Whether you're ordering a perfectly made classic martini or the Saitini, arguably the best espresso martini in Portland, you're in for something special. If you haven't been to Taj yet, you're missing out. What makes it even better is knowing you're supporting a restaurant that genuinely gives back to the community and works to help feed those in need across our area. Three cheers for Taj.

We walked over to see no one inside so right up to the counter we went after looking the menu over.

Decor is plastic seats attached to table, black and white checkers with white tiles. Soon there were more and more people coming in. In no time our food was ready. Chicken was super crispy and meat hot. Gyro was good, nothing special really but good. No surprises. We may be back if in the area

A True Gem for Middle Eastern Groceries!…read more We recently moved to the area, and I stumbled upon this amazing store on Google--and I'm so glad I did! From the moment I walked in, I was welcomed by their incredibly friendly and helpful staff (I can speak only English). On my first visit, I hadn't noticed the freshly baked bread until after I had paid for my items. When I returned to buy the bread, they kindly offered it to me for free as a warm welcome to a new customer. That thoughtful gesture truly reflected their customer-oriented approach and made me feel right at home. The store has a great variety of spices and specialty items that I haven't been able to find anywhere else. Their prices are also very fair. They also offer warm fresh Middle Eastern takeout dishes and carry fresh Halal meat, including lamb, which is a huge plus. This place is truly a hidden gem, and I'm so happy to have found it!

Blazes Burgers - Is this the best burger spot in all of Maine?…read more861 Main St, Westbrook, ME 04092 If you're a burger lover on the hunt for bold flavors and unique toppings, Blazes Burgers just might be your holy grail. This Westbrook gem is known for its stacked burger menu, and after trying a few of their specialties, I can see why locals are obsessed. We tried three different burgers: The Pesto Burger - A 6 oz fresh patty topped with creamy pesto and your choice of cheese. Pro tip: take the kitchen's advice and add tomato for a refreshing bite that cuts through the richness. As a pesto fanatic, this one hit all the right notes for me--herby, savory, and perfectly messy. Definitely my personal fave. Crack Cheeseburger - The name doesn't lie. This beast comes loaded with grilled onions, bacon, your preferred cheese, and a feisty feta spread that brings just the right kick. Rich, indulgent, and absolutely unforgettable. Black and Blue Burger - Bacon, grilled onions, sweet bourbon sauce, and blue cheese crumbles all on a brioche bun. The sweet-savory combo is magic, and the blue cheese gives it a gourmet edge. The crack sauce deserves its own shoutout--creamy, a little spicy, and totally addictive. Pair any burger with their fries or tots and you've got yourself a seriously satisfying meal. Rating: 8/10 A strong contender for Maine's best burger, no doubt. The menu is creative, the execution solid, and the flavors linger in the best way. Whether you're a pesto person like me or all about the boldness of blue cheese, Blazes has something for you. Is this your go-to burger joint? Got a spot you think tops this? Let me know--I'm always up for a burger adventure!

This was cool. I first saw this Halal grocery store when I was at the large but unexceptional…read morehardware store across the street. I wanted to drop in because the sign said that they had goat & camel meat, but it was the middle of Ramadan and assuming they were open, the last thing they need in the middle of a fast is me blundering in there looking for something to eat. Anyway, Ramadan's gone and I was in the neighborhood so I went in. The guy who worked there was really friendly and helpful but we had a hard time understanding each other. Ultimately I left with a bunch of cut up goat ribs that were supposed to be "really good for soup". This typically means that they're a tough cut of meat, but I'll braise them and let the crock pot do the rest. I also picked up the kind of dates that they just don't have in Hannaford's, but they're everywhere in most Halal markets. There's also a room in the back which seems to be some kind of restaurant or maybe just a hangout. There were a ton of male voices back there and they had that sound of people discussing current events and passing the time. I don't know if the store closes at prayer time or not. Most of the customers were women wearing very colorful clothing who talked among themselves and seemed to know exactly what they wanted to buy. As for me, I was a fish out of water but I was having a good time and wasn't made to feel out of place. I look forward to going back and trying something else soon, but right now I'm going to start working on tomorrow night's goat stew. (Two days later): The goat stew was really good and I want to get something else.

We loved every single bit and piece of chicken. My entire family including a 2 and 4 year old were gnawing away happily on their chicken drumsticks!! We weren't sure how the pieces would be, so we ordered a 35 piece bucket..LOL, it was actually the size of a full catering tray! LOL On the way home I kept kicking myself that I ordered way too much. All I can say after a few bites, I was so excited to have days of leftovers!! Heat the leftovers in an air fryer and it's as good as new. We can't wait to try it again...but it will be a while...maybe in a month? I will feel like fried chicken again! LOL The mac and cheese was ok - it was batch mac which means the noodles are not al dente, over cooked for my taste. The french fries were nice shoe string fries with sprinkling of seasoning. Not sure what, but it was tasty. We also got a nice salad they happily customized to not have onion. We were greeted immediately upon entry and it was a bit snowy so he allowed me and my sister out the side door where we parked, So nice and kind!! The place inside was simple cafeteria style set up. I will definitely buy chicken again for takeout.
