And Angelica, the queen of service: checked in with the perfect timing and always with a warm, genuine smile and a quick laugh that made the whole table feel like old friends. Pleasant doesn't even cover it; she's pure sunshine with impeccable radar for whatever you need before you even need it. Angelica, you turned great food into an unforgettable vibe. You're an absolute star! 10/10, requesting her section forever.

I am at a 4.5 here....the food was so tasty and good....felt truly authentic! But the half star is…read morejust for something off with the service...it wasn't bad, but I think it's probably just a cultural thing...it was a little rushed initially with the ordering process. My friend and I ordered an appetizer and also a naan that was not on the menu but that they had ordered before and they were able to make it - but not this time. Also while we were talking and maybe apparently taking too much time to order entrees the server seemed a little quick/abrupt with us to get our orders in, but also during/after our meal, just the feeling of being rushed but we didn't let that impact how much time we spent at the table. (Note, there were very few people dining and it was late afternoon/early evening, so not that they were trying to close)... Anyway, the Taj Special app was really good! YUMMY and also got the Kashmiri naan....WOW! ALL so good. Then after we finally ordered our entrees, and still munching on appetizers, entrees came out. Nice and hot. Butter chicken, which was super tasty... I was so excited about all my food, I forgot to take a photo and I have no idea what my friend ate LOL... Overall, I really enjoyed this place and will be back!

The food was quite different from what's shown and priced on the website. We placed our order at…read more11:31 AM, requesting lunch, but were charged dinner pricing. When we inquired, we were told they were serving dinner. We ordered chicken curry, butter chicken, and tikka masala. Each dish came with only about 8 small pieces of chicken, with no naan and a small portion of rice, which didn't match the description or presentation online. The taste was underwhelming, with disappointing flavor and portion sizes. Unfortunately, the owner was unwilling to work with us on this.

It was around 4:30 PM, so I wasn't sure they'd be open, but they were already serving, so I drove over. It's a new spot, open for about a month. The two ladies running the place were very attentive, and I happened to be the only customer around 5 PM. Normally, when I visit a restaurant like this, I order three or more dishes to sample a variety and enjoy the leftovers at home over the next few days. But since I won't be home until midnight tonight, I went with a single dish to test the waters: chicken tikka masala. I give that an A--flavorful and well-prepared. The rice was decent (I'm not a big fan of rice in general), so I'd rate it a B. The service was excellent, also an A. I even tried the rice pudding, which surprised me--I usually don't care for it, but theirs was genuinely enjoyable. Another A. The only downside: they don't have a tandoor oven yet, so the naan was the store-bought kind you'd find at an Indian grocery. It didn't quite match the quality of the entrée. I'd give that a C. Hopefully, they'll add a real tandoor to their kitchen soon. The ambience is typical medium sized family owned restaurant, but bright and easy. The toilet was also well lit, and clean. Overall, I'd definitely come back to try more dishes. Promising start for a new restaurant.

This is a beautiful space located in Ybor. Sadly it was raining, but the outside patio will be lovely to visit when the weather is nice. The inside is charming and decorated nicely. We shared the chicken Tikka Masala and chicken saag with garlic naan (of course!). Everything was delicious and we enjoyed the Taj Mahal beer and Rupee IPA with our meal. I definitely recommend getting an Indian beer with dinner! Our server was very friendly and took good care of us - honestly all the staff was really nice. We didn't feel rushed and really were able to enjoy our dinner and conversations before the check came. This will definitely be our local go to for Indian food.
