A lovely restaurant in downtown Culpeper. We confirmed with the owners the meat is halal. This is…read moreprobably the best south asian food you will find for miles. We went on two occasions and tried the garlic naan, channa masala, daals, chicken tikka masala and goat curries. The thali was super good with the tandoori chicken. The only adjustment I would make is the gravies are a bit on the thin side so it makes it hard to eat with naan. The curries are also served with rice so if you are eating it with rice it's no issue, but it can be tough with naan. Otherwise great institution we will be back! The owners are sweet and the quality is good. I don't think you can find better south asian food in the area. I'm giving 3 stars simply because I'm south asian and a tough critic and comparing to restaurants in nova as well, but for the Culpeper/Central VA area it's def 4 stars.

The location is a shopping mall, but they've got it decorated up with some pride and were quite fastidious. The menu leans Punjabi, and I sought to try their sarson ka saag. Oddly, it was not available with makki di roti, the traditional corn bread accompaniment, but I did get a more conventional wheat based bread which was delightfully fluffy and a good combination. Their saag was a warm flavor and a very heavy dish; there must have been plenty of butter in those greens. An aloo tikki chaat ordered spicy was quite hot and it took some fortitude to devour it as quickly as I did, fortunately having a chai to wash it down. The item I came for didn't 100% deliver, but overall it was a good experience and I would came back.

The naan was especially delicious, and the entree was flavorful and just the right spice. Lunch was around $13, which for today is pretty decent I guess. I'd definitely come back for more.

They have plenty of offerings that you'd find at any Indian restaurant, but I sought to try something called recheado. The use of vinegar in addition to a range of Indian spices creates a strong and memorable flavor. I got it with paneer. I've been ordering medium rather than Indian hot spice levels lately due to some stomach issues, and I will say that this place's spice levels are the real deal. Even medium was considerable and I would not ask them to do the full spice level unless you really mean it. I appreciated the option to order two small vegetable dishes as an entree; variety is good. I also added a mouthwatering bread and a side of pickled carrots for a more authentic experience. It was heavy comfort food, but it didn't seem to harm my stomach and it did excite my tastebuds as expected.

The staff greeted me right away and the service was great! Now the food was absolutely incredible. The butter chicken over rice lunch special was packed with so many flavors, it was perfectly seasoned, and freshly made. The spices were balanced beautifully, and each bite seriously tasted better than the last. It's the kind of food that makes you stop mid-conversation because you just want to savor it. I ordered 2 different things to try, and not a single plate disappointed. Everything came out hot, beautifully presented, and full of rich aromas that made me excited before I even took the first bite. It honestly ended up being one of the best meals I've had in a long time. Overall, TAJ Indian Cuisine gave me an experience that felt absolutely delicious. If you're looking for amazing Indian food with wonderful service, this is the place. I'll definitely be coming back and bringing friends with me next time!

Stopped in for some Indian cuisine on a Sunday afternoon. I was planning on eating in - but the…read morerestaurant is all booths - I prefer a table to have some room to adjust how close I am to the table... So I placed an order to go: Vegetable fritters and Goat Vindaloo (Indian spicy), with the tomato & cheese Naan. Food was ready in about 15 minutes. The Vegetable fritters were crisp and tasty. The Goat Vindaloo had good heat and was delicious. The Goat meat was very tender. However, there were a lot of bones and cartilage. You have to be very careful eating this to NOT swallow something you shouldn't. It shouldn't be this hard to get properly butchered and prepared Goat. I've been to other Indian restaurants that have zero bones in their Goat Curry/Goat Vindaloo. The Naan was also very good, Overall, food is tasty, but the bones really drag down the ranking for me. Service was good. Paid with Apple Pay. I'll have to try something different next time - AND ask as to whether the dishes I am ordering have bones/cartilage in them. #TAJIndianCuisine
