Stay away!!! Being…read morefans of Indian food, and looking for a change from mexican flavours, we looked up the small number of indian restaurants in Oaxaca, and decided to try a second one situated in Centro. First off, the rice was plain and tasteless ordinary rice ( not the standard aromatic and tasty basmati kind). One of the 3 different chicken curries tasted off, and the buffet food temperature appeared to be on the low side of safety. I got excited when I spotted a spinach dish, but it lacked the all important paneer, and was also rather tasteless and lacking the all important fresh spices that are custom in indian cuisine. The lack of spice scent in entering the restaurant should have been a clue to what a plain meal was to come, but hunger has a way of bypassing the brain's normal process sometimes... We looked forward to at least some good naan, one of the best bread product one can savour, but unlike the praised product that was raved about in another review, what we got was 2 versions ( garlic, and plain) of a stiff, tasteless form of a hard pita like thing. After tasting it, asked if the restaurant had the all important tandoor oven, necessary for making naan, and was told in the affirmative. One way to describe the naan would be try your hands at making some yourself, and using a pan on a stove will give you the type of amateur result we got served at 20 pesos each.  Another dish that was awful, was mixed vegetable curry. The amount of salt in it would be borderline dangerous for anybody with a heart condition. Wasting money on bad food is a big disappointment. The restaurant owner looked surprised by how quick we requested the check, while leaving plates full of un-eated food. That would have been a perfect opportunity to ask how was everything, but he didn't see the need to somehow. My thought on leaving the Taj Majal was: if someone tried indian food here for the first time, they would be unlikely to ever trust anybody on how good it taste! Sadly, there appears to be another restaurant of a very similar name in the same city, and they risk being affected by negative reviews like this.

Although I do appreciate that they have so many vegan and vegetarian options, the food here is not…read moreat a great value, portions were scanty and the food did not reflect the ingredients listed on the menu. I also must say that the waitresses were rathet grumpy, looked tired and acted annoyed so I could not speak well of the customer service. For there reasons I had to keep it at two stars although I do appreciate that it was a healthier alternative to other restaurants nearby. I ordered the Chile Relleno de Picadillo de Championes (stuffed pepper with minced mushrooms) however there was no dried cranberries or almonds like the menu promised. I also didn't notice any mango curry sauce either. The brown rice it came with was mushy and too salty on top and the "serving of vegetables" was soo small. Just not worth the 130 pesos for such a small stuffed pepper that looked nothing like the picture on some of the other reviews which I am starting to wonder might be fake. My partner ordered the sopa de cacahuate for 40 pesos and the Chile relleno de Platano Macho which came with rice and beans for 80 pesos. As you can tell from the picture, they used the smallest pepper possible and being that plantains, beans and rice are so cheap I don't know how they can justify 80 pesos. We liked the baked tortilla chips (which was a much healthier option than fried tortilla chips) and the four small slices of chewy sourdough bread but did not like the sauce at all which my partner also wasn't a big fan of. The peanut soup was good and I enjoyed the peanuts with the peas ... it was unique and the process for that was actually more reasonable at 50 pesos. It could have used more spices however!! The waitresses looked so miserable and seemed annoyed at the customers ... the food actually tastes better if you ignore them. There are many vegetarian options in Oaxaca so I would recommend going somewhere else!

The plantain and hibiscus taquitos were delicious, and the little bread/tortilla basket with hot sauce was a nice and complimentary starter.
