This is where you go when you want to hang out and meet friends and maybe eat, maybe drink, and watch events on the big screen, or sit fireside in the main dining area. Good Indian, especially for Dothan. Try it, expand your repertoire and kani ka xxx! Try the Chicken Tikka Masala, it's a good starting place. read more

Taj - Indian Near Me - Dothan, Alabama

The food is good but I was served bad lassi and led to food poisoning. Hope restaurant take care of such things in future

Baba Ganoush was super good! Malai Kofta as well! Biryani yummy!! Highly recommended! Decorations inside were not very tasteful to my opinion but all food amazing! read more

We ordered two Indian dishes and two gyros. One of the Indian dishes came out crazy hot because the waitress' 0 looked like an 8 on our order for spiciness. That was fixed and they gave us a replacement. I enjoyed our chickpea masala but for the price I expected a bit more. The gyros were okay. They tasted like philly cheese steaks. We've had better. The restaurant was dark and dreary where we were seated. But lastly, we were charged for our waters! It wasn't even bottled. Totally surprised. read more

Just go ahead and put your diet on hold for an evening. This establishment is well worth the small cheat. The staff go to great lengths to ensure authenticity and amazing flavor, no matter which dish you choose. The decor is nice, there's a small market in the restaurant that offers some of their dry goods to purchase. There is a gynormous (yes, it's a word) TV in the back sitting area/ bar. Cushy chairs and so forth. If none are available, the staff will let you know when a table comes available back there. To reiterate, the staff are extremely helpful, and will patiently explain the various aspects of the food. The menu is ENORMOUS. You'll spend all your time deliberating, but no matter what you go with, you'll be very pleased. read more

Great restaurant! My wife and I stopped in for a vegan lunch. We ordered the vegetable biryani and the malai kofta. We got them at a level 3 for spiciness. We also had a side of Roti bread. This was an excellent lunch choice. Great atmosphere, great staff, and delicious food. We will check out the grocery store before we leave to grab some spices! read more

Being from Dothan, I have had the pleasure of eating here many times. It was actually the first Indian food I ever had, before moving to Atlanta. I love their chicken tikka masala, it is my go-to. The sauce is creamy, the chicken is cooked perfectly, and like all of the curry dishes you can choose your level of spice. I also always order the garlic naan, which is a delicious oven-baked flatbread. This time I tried the yellow cheese naan (not knowing there is also a feta cheese naan I will definitely be needing to try in the near future), and it was very good as well. Per my family, the lamb malai methi, the chicken saagwala curry, and the chicken karahi curry are also delicious (and from my own taste testing I would agree!). A majority of the time we order take-out, so I can't totally speak for the service (though I've never had a problem), but the food is always excellent. Definitely a must try! read more

Pretty authentic but I've had better tasting naan from a grocery store and their food is prepared with way too much oil. Not a great price either. read more

Great service I stopped at this place enroute Atlanta from Panama City. Really wanted to eat Indian food and was surprised to find this nestled at the right time we started getting hungry. The food is like most Indian restaurants I have had. Nothing too exceptional, but our server was awesome. She single handedly managed the entire area and it was just beginning to get crowded. She's a hustler. read more

This was mine and my daughter's first experience. She got the hot chai tea and we shared the Friday lunch special(chicken curry) and the small appetizer platter. Everything was delicious! The server was very polite and answered all our questions and the atmosphere was very relaxing. Six stars!! read more

Love this food. We always get Chicken Tikka Masala and Paneer Tikka Masala with Naan bread. We are regulars and always love the food. Friendly and good service! read more

Great Indian-Greek fusion restaurant! We got the baba ganoush with garlic Naan bread as a starter, which turned out to be a unique combination of Greek and Indian flavors. We also tried their Chicken Tikka Masala and Butter Chicken, which was very flavorful, and we could customize our spice level from 1-10. Our waiter Dwayne was also very helpful and responsive. We will definitely be back! read more

The name for this restaurant "Taj International" caught my eye as I was looking for a non-chain restaurant for lunch while on a long driving trip. The exterior was not flashy, but I went in and was greeted quickly. I had a choice of the buffet or off the menu. I went with the menu, although the buffet was cheaper, to just try one item. There were many choices of Indian and other countries' options. I had chicken curry with cashews. I passed on the bread and had it on rice. The chicken and curry sauce were perfectly cooked. The rice was excellent. Putting the two together was the best curry dish I ever had. Wish I was going through Dothan again soon. Service was attentive and quick. read more

If you haven't tried Taj, you are missing out!! Favorites: Chili Paneer, Chicken Tikka Masala (spice level 6), and naan bread!

Wonderful Indian food! We make sure to stop here every year on our drive to Florida. It has a very upscale dining atmosphere without upscale prices. The menu is varied and delicious. The mango curry was outstanding. Additionally, they have naan bread with a variety of flavors on it. Yum! read more

Decided to place an order to go so that I could bring the food home and watch all of the football games with my buddies, so we called our order in ahead and they told us it would take about 20 minutes. Got to the restaurant, and was very pleasantly surprised to see the welcoming interior and the great bar/lounge area in the back with an area for group parties and plenty of TVs to watch the games at. The restaurant ambience and environment itself is the only reason I was able to give a 2. Guests have commented on the Indian food, but I have yet to see any comments about the "Greek" food, and probably for good reason. I have lived in Chicago, Omaha, Atlanta, and now have recently moved to Dothan --I ordered the gyro and I have to say that BY FAR this is the worst gyro I've ever had I'm my life. I'm not sure I can even call it a gyro. I was already skeptical when they asked me on the phone what level of spiciness I preferred--this had never been an option for any gyro I've had as gyros are not meant to be spicy. When I opened the box containing my meal, there was more oil on the outside of the pita than there was beer in the unopened bottle in front of me. I opened the pita to see see soggy meat in a pool of onions and green peppers, and the most watery tzatziki sauce I've ever seen in a plastic cup. The lamb was everything short of the what you'd see in a "real" gyro. After tasting the "gyro" I concluded this was another name for an Indian-style Chipotle burrito. I was thoroughly disappointed and will not try anymore "Greek" food from this restaurant again. I was extremely skeptical when the sign said Indian, Greek, and BBQ--these 3 restaurant genres were never meant to be under one roof. I'm sure the Indian food tastes great and should've listened to the reviews. But just remember, this is an Indian restaurant, no matter what the sign says on the building. read more

Unexpected high quality Indian cuisine in small town America. Great menu and quality food. Clean and courteous staff. We are very pleased and will return again. We highly recommend. read more

Taj has some of my favorite Indian food. They have huge variety from curries to soups. And for the person who doesn't like Indian (although butter chicken should be good for anyone), their Greek is delicious as well. Another perk is that they're open late and open on Sundays. read more

Service was terrible, my order was lost and the server didn't even remember what I had ordered so he had to ask me again. The food was ok, not great. Floors were slippery and restaurant didn't look clean. The buffet didn't look inviting at all, the other person I was with ate from it and said it was ok. We went there because reviews were really good, maybe I went there on a bad day. But my experience was not good. read more

The short story is that Taj was 'different'. Smells really set the stage for a good meal. I admittedly did not like the smell of the small lobby area nor the rest of the restaurant. This automatically dropped my star score down to a 2. Our server was extremely pleasant and treated us well. He is the reason why there is a star and a review. We ordered the appetizer sampler. My palette was not ready for the dry lamb sausage, odd chicken squares, grape leaves with mushy rice, and tempura vegetables. I've eaten Indian before and for me, this was a hard no. Actually, the plain naan bread was pretty good. So was the garlic naan. Everything else was pretty rough. I read all of the reviews before heading over to Taj and was convinced that this would be a mind blowing meal. It was more of an brain explosion. I wanted to like Taj so badly. It's just not in the cards for me. To all others who enjoy Taj, bravo to you. I hope you continue to enjoy their meals. read more

This is my favorite place in all of Dothan. The tika masala curry is fantastic. I go with the lamb. But the Chicken and shrimp and great too. The naan is also really good. I've tried every flavor on the menu and they are all good. They even let you do combos of flavors. Then for the main dish the kababs are fantastic. The mixed plate gives you a choice of 3 meets and 5 veggies. This place is fantastic. read more

We ordered samosa, pakoras, chicken biryani, chicken karahi curry, coconut raisin naan bread, mango lassi. The restaurant was clean & spacious. The service was great & the food came out fresh & quickly! We will come here again. read more

LOVE this restaurant! My mouth is watering just thinking about their Chicken Tikka Masala! It's a flavor bomb!

Awesome food and waiter. Food was very good. Generous portions. Perfect flavor. Also the waiter was incredible. He was very knowledgeable, suggested great food, even gave our son a toy! If everyone working customer service was as excellent as him the world would be a much better place read more

Always delicious! Butter curry and tikka masala are phenomenal. We're on the way there RIGHT NOW to eat dinner. Highly recommend the lounge or the patio for a more laid-back experience. read more

This place is a must go to spot if you are passing through. I got level 10 for spiciness and it was on hell mode. The servers were very friendly and the atmosphere was pleasant. I will definitely be back. read more

Absolutely wonderful from top to bottom. Our waiter could tell we were new to Indian food, so he gave us a free appetizer and suggested we save our naan for the meal. My wife had a sweet chicken curry that was phenomenal, while I went for a more savory and spicy shrimp curry. Great choices. Great service. Our waiter was more than willing to help explain menu choices. Will definitely go back. read more

Our favorite restaurant in Dothan. Food, service, and atmosphere are excellent. Stop in for an enjoyable evening. You will not regret it

No matter what you order, you still taste curry. If you happen to enjoy curry, that's fine, but I do not. Especially in a gyro, which is supposed to be Mediterranean. The bar service is also horrible. They do have the drink prices on the menu, which is nice, but they charge $8 a glass for Yuengling Black&Tan, a domestic, non-craft beer. I ordered a Stella Artois that came in a standard, room temperature pint glass. Waiter wasn't able to tell me what all they had on tap. Will not be going to this restaurant again. read more

I eat at Taj every time I come to Dothan for business and I haven't been disappointed yet. It's a tad overpriced and perhaps a bit inauthentic--hence the 4 stars and not 5. That said, I've always stuck with the Indian food on their menu and I've always loved it. The service is fantastic in my experience. I recommend everyone give this a try. Not everyone will love it but it's one of the better overall restaurants in Dothan. read more

Dewayne is awesome! Customer service is so important, and he always takes care of my family! Big kudos to that guy, give him a raise!

We love Taj! Their chicken tikka masala is the best I've ever had! The naan and homemade hummus is a staple when we order from Taj. One of the top 3 restaurants in the Dothan area. We love Taj!! read more

Wish I had an option to give zero stars.... Canned food from Walmart made into so called Indian dish sheek kabab... Horrendous ... And these guys take people for granted... Most of the curries taste frozen and warmed up to serve....not a hint of fresh food...sub standard restaurant ... roadside vendors are a lot better read more

AMAZING! We love coming here. The food and the service are wonderful. On Sundays, they have a buffet with a good selection of items. We usually return to our favorite items: potato cauliflower curry, lamb gyro kabob, lamb biryani... Sooooo good. read more

This place is awesome kabab butter chicken all real good, 10 different nunns unbelievable beers are cheap whatever would you ask for?

This is my favorite Indian restaurant in the area. The food was affordable and very appetizing. The free starter bread/cracker they bring to your table is unique, but their naan is amazing and cheap. They give you a choice on how spicy you would like your food(a 0-10 scale with 10 being extreme), and I feel as if they hit my choice perfectly. I recommend the chicken tikka masala, as it was delicious. The facility was very clean, and the staff was very helpful in choosing a tasty selection if you are unsure what you are ordering. I highly recommend this place, and hope you give it a try if you happen to be in the area. read more

Taj kabobs are soooooo good, it takes awhile to get your food.. Everyone moves pretty slow so dont be in a hurry.. Worth the wait tho!

I have raised this from a 4 to a 5 due to Angela!...being stuck here she has gotten to know me!...always bright and inviting!...those of you who only order the tiki Masala chicken are missing out!!...happens to be one of my least favorites! SO MANY great options my preference is the Chicken Korma spice level 3 which is NOTHING!.....and I LOVE their rice!...my ONLY suggestion would be to shred the chicken inside the gravy (I do when i eat it that way you get all the flavored in one bite) I LOVE this place! read more

This was the best Indian food we have ever had. We tried Taj after reading all of the reviews and we were not disappointed. Now we have another reason to come to Dothan. read more

Excellent food! Checked Yelp on our way thru Dothan and was immediately excited about the reviews for Taj. We love Indian food and we were not let down! Beautiful decor on the inside and the Indian music set the atmosphere. We had the buffet and it was delicious! I had the Chicken Tiki Masala and a pomegranate martini. The staff was very courteous and even took the time to explain their religious decor items (Goddess Shiva) to us when we were taken by how beautiful it was. We were traveling thru, but the next time I go through Dothan I will stop at Taj again! Five stars! read more
