We ordered takeout and walked from our hotel to pick it up. It was ready on time, and [[HIGHLIGHT]]the restaurant was well kept and smelled amazing.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We should have dined in but we ate back at the hotel and the food was incredible. The aloo mutter was very flavorful, with tender potatoes and perfectly cooked peas. I could have used a little more spice, but aside from that it was well worth it. The chicken tikka masala was also flavorful, with a smooth, well spiced sauce, and tender chunks of chicken breast. Will definitely eat here again when we're in town. read more

I had the Tandoori Mixed Grill & Garlic Naan. The meats & naan were nearly perfect - 2 kinds of chicken (classic Tandoori & Tikka Kabab), Lamb Seekh Kabab & Pawns. The chicken & Lamb were great, but the pawns were a little too salty. However, the vegetables with the Tandoori were not only sizzling as being served but were half black. A little charing is OK, but some of the onions, green peppers & carrots were so burnt that I couldn't eat them. If I go again at lunch time I'd do the buffet which had the same Chicken Tandoori & a lovely Butter Chicken, along with other dishes, naan & a salad bar. I just had to have my lamb. read more

I have been here a few times. They use quality ingredients and there are many options for the lunch buffet. My only complaint the last time I went here on 4/25 was the quality of the Tandoori chicken. The Tandoori chicken was super dry and lacked the traditional red color I have seen at other Indian restaurants. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere seems mid-upscale and the classic Indian decorations are nice to see.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I had the Chana masala and the vegetable korma. The food was delicious. The staff was able to seat me fast and the food came out faster than average while still being delicious. I would come back. read more

Taj Indian Cuisine - Channa Masala Vegetable Korma - Indian Near Me - Ashland, Oregon

My colleague suggested Taj for dinner and was happy to give them a try. We ordered to share: 1) vegetable Samosa-loved the crispy shell 2) chicken vindaloo-spicy and full of flavor 3) tandoori mixed grill-totally worth it to have the chicken tika kabab, seekh kabab and prawns! Delicious! 4) spicy naan I also order a salti lassi to drink-perfect complement to the spicy food. For dessert we tried their Gulab jamun...love this uniquely Indian dessert and enjoyed every bite! The food was good in terms of flavors and portion size relative to other Indian restaurants I've visited. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Loved the decores mix of cultural icons and modern touches like the chandeliers.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My only criticism is the slow service which I noticed because my colleague had to wait a long while to get a water refill (as a result of the spicy vindaloo ). There was literally no one to flag down. read more

The garlic naan was amazing! We started with the cauliflower, which did have a nice spice to it. The chicken tikka masala had a good amount of chicken in it (versus mostly sauce) and we were able to pick our spice level (medium). I had one of the cocktails and while I knew it had the tumeric on the rim, that was a little too much for me so I had to brush it off. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Since it was nice, we were able to sit outside on the patio near the river area.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

The restaurant is located 1 block off the main street through town, so it isn't necessarily easy to find. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There are stairs you need to climb to access the entrance, but once you enter the decor and ambiance is very welcoming.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service was very good and the food was excellent!! For those from out of town this restaurant is worth finding!! read more

Terrible experience. Food that was supposed to be "medium" spicy was so hot I couldn't eat the meal (and was still asked if I wanted a "to go" box!). Service was equally bad. No attention during the meal. Left all dishes on the table when finally served dessert. Will absolutely not come back. read more

It is okay to DoorDash from. Solid Indian food, biryani was good. Other dishes were okay.

Ordered something to go for my friend & called back immediately to change the order, but they wouldn't accommodate. When I went to pick up the staff- younger guys were extremely rude. Food was meh. Based on the customer service alone, I won't go back. read more

EXCELLENT! EXCELLENT! EXCELLENT! Food flavors were on point was not disappointed Quantity of food served for the price worth it Service was good I like that all servers kept an eye out for all tables and not worried about whose section it was. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The cleanliness in the dining room was as very nice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food is authentic and not white washed like some of these other restaurants are that claim to be authentic. Kudos to this restaurant. Thanks read more

Our program manager was retiring and since we were not going to see her after this year since our program is done for us, we took her out to eat. She wanted Indian and liked coming here. It is a cute unassuming place that has an inviting feel. Although our director is dying to repaint the walls...LOL! We ordered the spinach pakora, which I've never had, and it was really good! The tandoori chicken which was moist and tender! Another new dish for me was the baingan bhartha, eggplant with onions and tomatoes, and delicious, so I had three helpings! And the chicken tikka masala, which was very good! The garlic naan was delicious as well! Overall, a very fine meal. Service was attentive and cordial. It was a very nice dining experience! I would definitely come back, especially for that eggplant! read more

The food was delicious, freshly made, and the service spot-on. We had onion naan, saag paneer (medium spice, perfect), and shrimp masala. I love having a reliably good Indian restaurant so near to us. We'll be back again, and soon!! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Great food and service, place is comfortable and has parking on site.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] All food was delicious, excellent Indian-Pakastani food A great place to eat. read more

Favorite Indian food I've had in the US. Every single dish was delicious and perfectly flavored. The staff are all kind and professional. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The space is serene and authentic.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The chicken tikka, tandoori lamb, butter chicken, mango lassi, and gulab jamun were all incredible. read more

By far some of the best naan and tandoori chicken I've had and to their butter chicken tastes very good to and the service is excellent.

Taj is back and better than before. After a very long closure due to water damage, I couldn't wait to return for the Indian food I missed. Taj announced the reopening a few weeks ago. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Walking in, I was hit by that amazing scent of exotic blend of spices and my mouth started watering.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant itself is so much brighter lit with beautiful chandeliers and the removal of the heavy curtains that covered up the windows.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I came for the lunch buffet, and am so happy to see everything available as before. How I missed that blend of spices and curries. I sampled everything offered and especially enjoyed the eggplant and the lentils. I added a cup of chai, perfection. I highly recommend this restaurant to everyone. read more

We ordered take out. The chai came out quick and was very flavorful. The korma with veggies was tasty but the paneer tikka masala was a let down. Raita had excessive salt . Butter naan was soft. Decent food , but This place must improve their flavors. read more

Excellent food. We have been customers for many years! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Lovely ambiance, as well.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Jan and John

Was really craving Indian food and decided to try this place after seeing the good reviews and it did not disappoint. I ordered online and took my food to go. I had the lamb tikka masala and the gluten free naan. I was so happy they offered gluten free naan so they were already wining in my book but then it actually taste very good and so did the tikka masala. I think I got level 3 or 4 spice and it was perfect for me (I like spice but not so much that you can't taste the flavor). The lamb was also very tender and melt in your mouth. Even the rice was great (idk why Indian places rice taste better than when I make jasmine rice at home). And it was enough food for me for 3 days. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I will definitely be back and maybe dine in next time because it looked like a nice spot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Food reminded me of home. Service was great, didn't let the water cups get near empty. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The patio is great, right next to the river.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Highly rec. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Best food and atmosphere and service.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Been here many times. The perfect place to go before a play or after a walk in lithia park read more

Fresh ingredients, organic chicken options and gluten free naan. Better than 90% of Indian food restaurants I've tried, including in major cities. 10/10 read more

We had one night in Ashland, and chose Taj. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere is WONDERFUL! Not only did I love the colorful umbrellas and artwork, but they also played AUTHENTIC INDIAN MUSIC, which we really enjoyed.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The Vegetable Biriyani was packed full of perfectly cooked vegetables, and the Curry Chicken was wonderfully spicy, with a delicate yogurt topping. The Onion Naan was the best I have ever had. I wish I had this restaurant in my home town.... Loved the owner, who was friendly and playful and appreciated our enthusiasm. I am focusing on the atmosphere because I loved it, but the food was also delicious and did not feel at all heavy. The spices were well balanced and reflected a top notch chef in the kitchen. read more

We did not plan to eat Indian Cuisine this night, but glad we did. The food, service, and ambiance on the patio were all great! We ordered the Fried Onions and the Naan as appetizers. Then the Tikka Chicken Kabob and Curry Chicken as our entrees. Both were so good! We did end up taking most of the Chicken Kabob home. It's 15 pieces of chicken. I'm not sure I could finish it, even without the appetizers! Sharing is caring! read more

Deliciously seasoned food and generous portions. The best garlic naan I've ever had! The only negative was that we are flying home tomorrow and the leftovers would not survive a long flight, so we had to leave them behind. read more

Great tasting cuisine and nice service - lunch buffets most days around 16 pp Good flavors read more

Delightful and wonderful food. The curry is excellent. They have we an options of Naan which was delicious.

Really fresh food, fast and polite service, good pricing, simple decor. Very solid Indian place with convenient hours too--open for dinner on a Monday in January when so many places are shut. I'm glad I found it! read more

Had a great lunch there, buffet style so there's some nice options of authentic Indian food there, and they try to use better ingredients in general as well, definitely recommend for dinner or lunch. Great service too. read more

I have come here both for Lunch & Dinner. To start with I have ordered the Appatizer: Samosa, Bread: Naan and several Main Course dinners: Tandoori (marinating meat in a yogurt-based mixture of spices & herbs and then cooking it in a tandoor, a cylindrical clay oven and finally any dish with the spice Masala. Healthy as well as delicious. Come and try. read more

I just love the food at this place! You can get a full all you can eat lunch buffet for under $18 and it's so tasty! Best lunch deal in Ashland and the people who work there are always super friendly! Thanks for having an affordable delicious menu! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Be sure to dine on the patio when the weather is nice. It's such a beautiful spot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Very good Indian food at a reasonable price. Good value, prompt and friendly service. Large portions so be mindful if you don't have a fridge for leftovers if staying in an hotel. read more

Overall good downtown option without blowing the bank. Decent outdoor dining porch nice for warm summer/fall evenings, and decor is relaxing inside. Pleasant and responsive service. Tasty meats and complex spices made the entire table pleased with their meals. read more

UPDATE- i complained to chow now and they called the owner. the owner or worker lied to ChowNow and said i usually order 3 entrees and got more rice when i ordered 3 but i got how much i got if i ordered 2 entrees. i had ordered two entrees 2 other times- once on ChowNow and once on doordash- both times i was given more rice. the owner also said they offered me to come and get more rice- they did not. super dishonest. i ended up throwing out the 2nd saag as i had no rice to go with it and who scoops pureed spinach into their mouth and eats it as a meal (with no rice)??? We were eating here a lot and we would always get given a good size rice to go with our two or three entrées we purchased (rice comes with the entrees so you do not pay extra for it). Today they gave us a small box of rice that is the same size box as the Samosa goes in and it's literally not enough rice for more than two people for one serving of food (it's also HALF the size of the rice they have given us every other time) We ordered two containers of food as we use it to eat 2 meals (dinner tonight, lunch or dinner again tomorrow) and there is not enough rice to eat with the amount of food we have. Kind of ridiculous. I called and spoke with the man who answered the phone and he had zero customer service skills was arguing with me that it was 32 oz (see pic attached- it was definitely no where near 32 oz and further it was not packed full either so whatever size the container was it was not full of that much rice) and he made no attempt to rectify the situation. I have been eating indian food since my 20's and have been to India twice. In India the rice is equal to the dhal/curry/saag on top if not more rice than the food. What they gave us tonight was 2 times the amount of food and half the rice needed for it. There is $15 worth of food I have no rice to eat with it now. As the saag is like baby food (puree) you don't really eat it by itself. I have had a couple issues here- once I requested low spice and they made it so spicy my child could not eat it. One other time they gave us this small box of rice and I called and they brought us another one and said sorry. This time the guy was arguing saying that is all the rice we get. I was buying takeout 2-4 times a month. Not anymore read more

Taj Indian Cuisine - Usually the rice box is twice this size. Indian food should have rice that equals the amount of saag. We have too much saag now - Indian Near Me - Ashland, Oregon

We came in right when they opened for dinner and they were ready and waiting. The staff was very friendly and gave some recommendations when we asked. We had the paneer tikka masala (very good), aloo gobi (very good), vegetable curry (good), garlic naan (amazing), cheese naan (very good), paneer pakora (very good, but is salty if you are sensitive to that), and vegetable samosa (good). Rice is included in the price of entrees. The tikka masala and garlic naan were the stars. The food was quick, but we never felt rushed while eating and chatting. Water was promptly and regularly refilled. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They kept the restaurant and bathrooms very clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is very pretty, with lovely quiet music playing.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Been eating at Taj for Years. And for Years they told me it was Mostly Organic. Then they told. No it's not. Does Any One Know? I even spoke to the owner about it. Seems He Don't Care. The Money's Rolling in. Who Does Cares? I Do. The Ol saying is True. Put a plate of "food" in front of Some One. Almost. Any One. They Eat it. M.S.G. food Coloring, preservatives, Chemicals And Highly Addictive. And Highly Toxic Sugars. Another saying. Is. You Only Live Once. Is This Really True? read more

To put it simply, Taj is spectacular. The servers are friendly and got to know us. The food is outstanding; I have never had better pakora, saag paneer, or mutter. The samosas and naan are delicious, like everything I've had there. The naan can also be ordered gluten-free. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Inside, the music and lighting create a calming atmosphere, and a window table provides a view of the river.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Days with the buffet option allows for generous servings, and you will be going back for seconds! read more

Ya they have good food but I've experienced the owners being overly dominant to their customers. Last time I ate here, the owner was threatening a woman over a misunderstanding of a bill. I helped disarm the intense situation. Was so awkward, unacceptable. I recently experienced the owner bullying another businesses customers behind them so am writing this review. They do nothing with the back patio which is a huge bummer for the community. Sorry but the owner is a bully and coward. I don't support this place regardless of the good food, not worth it. read more

Amazing!!!! We had it for our thanksgiving meal and honestly it was so fantastic. We got the lamb tikka masala and the chicken vindaloo. With the garlic naan it really was the best part of my trip. read more
