I was dining alone but I found the perfect Indian restaurant and I want to share my experience with you! I was hankering for a good curry. Taj did not disappoint! I ordered the Chicken Vindaloo. The waiter said, "It's very hot". I said, "Good"! I was very hot. It was also very delicious! It was so hot I thought my face would melt. It was the kind of heat that would make Robert Oppenheimer (father of the atomic bomb), jealous. It would make Shiva very proud. But it was so delicious. Be sure to order some naan or poori to help mitigate the heat. It seems to be a family-run place and the wait staff was very attentive. read more

Best meal I had in Amsterdam. Had the chicken madrasi, the meat was so tender, the spice had an appreciable kick without it being painful. Also had the Indian tea at the end of our meal, really good cup of chai, came in a cute little teapot as well, enough for 3 refills of my teacup. The server was very nice, well educated about the menu and suggested the perfect item for us based on our spice tolerances. The price is amazing for getting an entree with rice and salad included. Would definitely come back here again read more

Could not resist having an Indian meal in Amsterdam. After a few hours of walking around, the choice was between something local and a highly rated Indian restaurant. It was an easy decision for me. I was happy to see they served Kingfisher beer. After drinking Heineken with almost all meals, it was time to make a change :). They served spicy papad with mint and tamarind chutney for starters. Tasted great with the beer. Ordered the Madras Chicken Curry - it was presented well and tasted great. I also ordered biryani to-go based on recommendation from the staff for my dinner for the following day. Service was a winner! It was nice to enjoy some Indian hospitality and I totally enjoyed my meal here. The restaurant is centrally located and is a few minutes walk from the Heineken Experience. Pricing : Moderate to high Will I return? : For sure. Recommended the restaurant to a friend who is a local. read more

My friend and I had an amazing experience at this restaurant. The staff was very knowledgeable about which dishes contained allergens which has not been the case at other restaurants. The food was delicious and the portions were generous. I had the chicken tikka tandoori which was very flavorful and came with rice, a side salad and vegetable curry. Our server was so kind and gifted us a complimentary dessert that was out of this world. They even offered us more tea but we did not have the time. We forgot our leftovers on the way out and our server caught up to us on the street to give them to us. Incredible service, food and ambiance. I would definitely recommend this restaurant. read more

Best indian restaurant in Amsterdam? Well, we only tried this one we were here and it was the best Indian I've had in years! With already great review on Yelp, we decided to try this restaurant which was also close to our apartment. We did not have a reservation and we were surprised to see that the restaurant was almost packed, thankfully we had arrived early and we only waited a few minutes a the counter. A traditional indian restaurant with only indian staff, a very detailed menu, and great service. Exquisite food and drinks. If you love spicy, this is it! I was quite happy with my choice of lamb biryani. The meals is served in the center on the table which makes it easier to share. The portions are large so come with a empty stomach if you want to finish your meal! Really a great place for a meal with a very friendly staff. read more

Service was wonderful. Very attentive and went out of there way to make sure we were happy with our food. The chicken soup was slightly spicy for to black pepper however nothing else was. Portion sizes were deceptively large. We ordered 2 fixed menus and had 1/3 of the food left over. Would definitely return when back in Amsterdam. read more

I found this spot at random still open at 10pm when everything else around the area was already closed. The staff was so sweet and sat us immediately despite being so late in the evening. The food was delicious we ordered off of their meal specials that serves three courses and honestly it was such a great price for the amount and quality of food. In the end I had no room for dessert but the staff still offered to send me home with dessert and coffee. They truly went above and beyond. read more

I ate here back in 2014 and had a wonderful meal with my wife, it was our fifth wedding anniversary or thereabouts (exact dining date unclear). Place was peculiar in the sense that the owner was very talkative with us and seemed sure he recognized me and that I was a repeat customer. We were only there as it was less than 5 minutes walk from our hotel and had never been there before. It's nearly impossible to recall what we ordered (Vindaloo with lamb sounds right), my wife probably took pictures but I'm not going to search for those. I do remember thinking the food very satisfying and the image of the looming Heineken Experience building we walked past just around the corner from the restaurant. The main purpose of this review is to fulfill a promise I made to the grateful and attentive owner. He asked as we left to give a positive review on Tripadvisor. I don't have an account there, so I'm attempting to make good by posting here at Yelp. Seven years later I was reminded of this promise when reminiscing about that stay in Amsterdam. So here it is better late than never. If you go here, you'll have a good, reliable and tasty Indian meal. You can even tell them Bill G. sent ya. read more

The food, service, atmosphere and personal hello's at the table are amazing. I always enjoy Taj! It's a must for Indian food

We visited here shortly before closing on a weeknight last month. I chose the lamb vindaloo and he chose the chicken tandoori (sorry, no pics of that because it was devoured) and some garlic naan. The food was adequately spicy and was fresh and delicious, even at closing time. If I lived there, I'd be visiting all the time. The food was authentic and the flavor was great. read more

Service was excellent. Our server greeted us with warmth! We made a reservation for 5 people and had requested for champagne and cake. They accepted both of our requests. We ordered dal tadka, Bombay aloo and paneer butter masala. The food was good and we were able to finish all our dishes! For the bread, we ordered garlic naan and roti and my favorite was Roti (definitely order if you like crunchy and butter). Definitely worth the try! The people in the restaurant will explain you everything related to the Indian spices and what the food description is. read more

Food was really delicious and serving size was just right. We were discussing having another meal there because it was so good. Unfortunately our lovely experience was soured when it was time for the check. We were asked if we had cash because the restaurant would be charged a 17% transaction fee if we paid with a Visa card. The person who told us this seemed angry that we did not pay with cash. No where was it posted that they didn't take credit cards and we saw several other patrons pay with a card without resistance. Unfortunately, for this reason we would not go back. read more

Great ambience. Cutlery and serving utensils are very top notch. Friendly service. Very good food. Reasonable prices. read more

Awesome food and even better service. We ordered butter paneer and dal fry along with onion pakora. Best tandoori roti I ever had. Soft and not burnt. We liked the food so much we ended up going again in our short visit of 4 days. Definitely recommend. read more

Taj - Indian Near Me - Amsterdam, New Hampshire

Definitely, some of the best Indian food I've ever had and I've had a lot! We stumbled across this place after a tour and were pretty hungry so didn't really care about the rating. When I looked it up on Yelp, I was shocked to see it have a near perfect rating so I was excited to see how good this place could be. For a starter, they brought in papads, but with dipping sauces which I had never really seen before. One of the dipping sauces was a sweet chutney while the other was more creamy. Both were really good with the papad. For the main course, I ordered a Paneer Butter Masala curry (comes with rice) and a garlic naan on the side. The curry is definitely more than enough for 1 and probably not quite enough for two people. Also, they give you rice to share with the table so it is recommended that you also get a side of naan to finish your curry. The curry was incredible. Extremely rich and creamy, but was still enjoyable to eat. The paneer was cooked extremely well - very chewy, but also lightly crisp on the edges. The garlic naan was also some of the best I've ever had. Very fluffy and actually tasted like garlic. It was one of the few times it felt actually worth paying extra for the garlic naan. The rice was also not just plain basmati, but a fried rice and was also very good with all of the vegetables in it. Overall the rice and curry tasted great, and the naan and curry we absolutely incredible. The service does take a long time, especially for naan, but all of the food is absolutely worth the wait. If you're in the area, definitely come check this place out! read more

Met my fiancée by her office for a date night. The food was delicious and the portions of meat very generous. We had the lamb Birriani, the aloo saag and keema naan. We will be back here regularly to try the rest of the menu. The staff was incredibly helpful, attentive and kind. This is clearly a family business, with plenty of attention to detail both in the cuisine, the presentation and the cute decor. All in all a lovely evening. Go here. You'll thank me! read more

My husband and I shared the Taj Special for Two and it was way more than we could eat. And I did want to eat it all - authentic, perfectly cooked and presented. Indian tea and ice cream for dessert. Helpful, welcoming staff/owners. Seemed to be a lot of locals eating so it was a community feel with laughter and children playing outside. Lovely dining experience all around. Tip: We ate early and had no trouble but, if you like to eat later, make reservations! Many people were being turned away around 7/7:30 because the restaurant was fully booked. read more

First of all service. Our server, greeted us with a smile and seemed happy throughout. Great guy. As for food, lamb Rogan josh was great. Chicken tikka was also decent. Butter chicken belongs in their Dessert menu. Not sure why its being served in the Entrees. To be fair, the server warned us that Butter chicken will be sweet. Having eaten sweetened butter chicken in other places in Europe, I thought I know what he meant. Dude, was I wrong? You might as well order gulab jamun with nan. I'll go back again but will never order Butter chicken. If they want, I might also give them a good recipe for butter chicken. read more

This is one of the best Indian restaurants in Amsterdam. It is located conviniently behind the Heineken brewery. We got Paneer sabji and Dal Makhani both of the dishes were delicious. I would go back there during my next visit to Amsterdam. read more

Taj - Garlic naan. Lamb madras - Indian Near Me - Amsterdam, New Hampshire

One of my defining criteria for a good Indian restaurant has gradually become the use or over-use of salt and various other staple condiments in the cuisine. A lot of times, salt is used to enhance flavor and its perception. While it might taste good, it often leaves you feeling bloated and sick once you have enjoyed the food. I am happy to say that Taj has done a great job at addressing these concerns. The food is delicious and fresh. You know it is because dishes don't pop out of the kitchen within a minute of you ordering them. Good preparation takes time, and while you could pre-cook certain elements of an Indian meal, it's the garnishing and the preparation that will take time. I have been here a few times recently and the restaurant has impressed me every time. Also, being an Indian restaurant, you're guaranteed that every dietary request would be catered to - whether you're a vegetarian, a vegan, or just allergic to certain ingredients. The menu has lots of great vegetarian options. For starters, you can never go wrong with the onion bhaji. In fact, order a couple as you will just never stop. They also serve complimentary papaddams, which go well with the 3 different sauces presented. The main course is a more serious affair and Taj offers dishes in either their full-sized glory, complete with rice and salad, or little portions that are great for sharing and tasting everything that the menu has to offer. My favorite are the veg korma, which while containing a sweet curry, goes very well with butter naan. I usually also get a small portion of the lentils or the chick pea curry. The rice is actually a pilaf and you get a chance to ask for more if you so desire. While they have lots of dessert options, you really have to get the Patiala combo; it comes with the rice pudding and Indian ice-cream/kulfi. The warm-chilled combination makes it a treat for your tastebuds. Portions are appropriately sized. For a group of 4, you would do justice by getting 3 main courses and a side dish. Of course, dessert for everyone. The interior is cosy and also good for smaller groups. Reservations are recommended as the place gets really busy for dinner. Service is fast and friendly. They will help you in choosing dishes based on your appetite and preferences. No free wifi; please focus on your food! read more

We searched for some time to find the "best" Indian restaurant. The stars aligned and we wound up here. And wow, are we thankful to have found this gem. First, the food is great. Had the Aloo Gobi, chicken vindaloo, gain nan, and red wine. All were very, very tasty. Then, the service was great, too. The owner came out to talk with us and we could tell he genuinely cared about our experience & feedback. Lastly, and not least, the atmosphere was nice & it didn't feel like it was a tourist trap. read more

I've only had takeout from here, and I get the same thing I always order at Indian restaurants: lamb vindaloo, garlic naan, and veggie samosas. They make it perfect every time. The vindaloo is so hot your sinuses will be clear and your tongue might burn off, but it will have died tasting some good quality food. The samosas are crispy but not too crispy, the filling is fresh, and the sauces are a great compliment. The garlic naan is not very garlicky, but I guess you can't win them all. Bonus: There are often many Indian people eating here who don't appear to be related to the owner, which I take as a good sign their food is authentic. read more

My friends and I ordered the samosas, pepper chicken tikka, and the onion bhajee for appetizers. We also ordered the saag paneer, dal makhani, and paneer masala with garlic naans for the main course. All the food was amazing and we were completely stuffed after finishing dinner. Service was great and everything we requested was promptly brought out to us. If anyone wants high-quality and authentic North Indian food in Amsterdam, I highly recommend you visit this establishment. read more

We absolutely loved this place. The atmosphere, food & service was amazing. I've had Indian in 5 countries and this is as authentic as It gets. The Vindaloo was spicy but not overly hot. The owner clearly cares and makes a point to see each table. In addition, the value was great. Can't wait to come in on our next visit to Amsterdam! read more

First things first, parking is pretty hard to find around this place. Its in a little center that has other popular restaurants, so pretty busy. Thankfully we got a ride, so we didn't have to struggle too much. We got seated immediately since someone had just left. Nice place, good location, crappy service. They took a minute to come take our order, but we chalked it up to them being busy. We had another table sit down after we ordered drinks (12 min after us arriving). They got their drinks minutes before us, which was a bit frustrating. The food was fantastic though, but it was like finding a needle in a haystack when it came to trying to track down a waiter to help us. Would go back for the food, but would reconsider if the service continues being frustrating! read more
