Food. Service. Ambiance upstairs. Chickpea salad and a mahi curry went down really well. Coworker had saag lamb. Very clean. Pleasant staff. I'm definitely going back. read more

Nice clean spot with great food and excellent sangria. You have a choice to select the spiciness of your food which is great for people who don't like spice. The staff work together as a team to deliver excellent customer service. read more

Taj Indian Cuisine - Indian Near Me - Stamford, Connecticut

Lovely restaurant with excellent food when you want to go out and splurge a little. We came on Aug 16 before the Diana Ross concert at the Palace. The food was exquisite. We ordered the Keema Samosa, Baigan Mirch Ka Salan, Goat Biryani (served from bamboo!), and Rosemary Naan. Everything was super tasty. The staff was friendly and attentive. read more

Taj Biryani serves good goat biryani and tasty dahi batata puri, but the dishes feel a bit expensive for the portion sizes. The flavors are rich and traditional, though higher prices mean it is best saved for a special treat. read more

My sister and I met a friend here for lunch. This restaurant is close to the train station (5 min drive) so it was perfect for us. It is up a flight of stairs and I am not sure if there is a more accessible alternative, but luckily stairs worked just fine for us! There are lots of booths and tables to choose from, as well as a bar to the left when you enter. The menu has a lot of vegan and vegetarian options, which was nice to see, as our friend is a vegetarian. We each selected what we were going to eat. My sister ended up choosing the chicken korma, and I ordered the butter chicken. We also got garlic naan for the table. Everything was absolutely delicious! So, so flavorful. It came out not long after ordering. The waitstaff were extremely attentive and friendly, as well, and often refilled our waters and asked if we needed anything. I highly recommend checking Taj out if you are in the area and looking for tasty, flavorful food! read more

I've been visiting Stamford for 2 years now, since my sister moved here and I'm SO MAD that she hasn't brought me here till this last Thanksgiving. This restaurant is definition of warmth. They created a cozy homely atmosphere for the holidays, even had someone apply mehendi for us. Now for the food, spectacular is an understatement. From the calamari, to the flaming grill chicken. Each dish was made with love and care. You can tell because each dish was plated and served with flair. A big shoutout to subash for taking care of my family and I this holiday. All the love to the entire team. Extra note, ask for the drink served in a shell!!! read more

With the risk of stating the obvious, there's plenty of Indian restaurants in the Tri-State area ranging from food stalls to haute cuisine and from Southern Indian to Northern Indian and everything in-between. Taj however has somehow managed (for 10+ years now) to keep a high-end atmosphere, homemade and authentic taste and above all service that rivals the most expensive restaurants in NYC. The food is always perfectly spiced and cooked with the highest quality ingredients. They have northern Indian and southern Indian staples and not only do they clearly mark the vegan items (vs. vegetarian) on their menu, their entire staff is properly trained on understanding all different food preferences and allergies. Needless to say Taj is one of the best restaurants in Stamford that I always enjoy coming back to. read more

I've been to Stamford twice, and have gotten takeout from here both times! The butter chicken was great, as was the Navarathan Korma. I wouldn't get the Rasmalai again, but I'd never tried it before so I can't attest if it's theirs or that dish in general for me. Garlic naan is a bit overpriced but good! I also enjoyed the mango lassi when I tried it this last time I was there. read more

"A Full Experience from Cocktails to Curry" TAJ Indian Cuisine delivers more than just dinner. It delivers an experience that feels vibrant, thoughtful, and genuinely memorable from start to finish. We started with drinks, including the Mighty Mule, a variety of margaritas, and the Taj Smash, which was easily a standout. Refreshing, well balanced, and beautifully presented, the cocktails were crafted with real attention to detail. The presentation throughout the night, from drinks to appetizers, was impressive and elevated the entire experience. For appetizers, we ordered both the Veggie Samosa and Keema Samosa, and they were excellent. Crisp on the outside with flavorful fillings and paired with vibrant dipping sauces, they set the tone for what was to come. We shared several entrées including the Butter Chicken, Paneer Butter Masala, and Tadka Dal. Every dish was rich, comforting, and deeply flavorful. The spice levels were spot on, giving warmth and complexity without overpowering the palate. The sauces were silky and layered, perfect for scooping up with fresh bread and rice. A major highlight of the evening was our waiter, Dipin. He was charming, attentive, and genuinely kind. He guided us through the menu with confidence and warmth, making sure everything flowed seamlessly. And then the surprise touch that truly set the night apart. My girlfriend received complimentary henna on her hand, beautifully done and completely unexpected. It turned a great meal into a lasting memory. read more

Wonderful local spot! The food is delicious and accommodates many dietary restrictions. I had the vegetable masala and naan, and both were fabulous. The restaurant is beautiful too. However, what was outstanding was the service. Everyone was so kind and went out of their way to make our experience awesome. Couldn't recommend more! read more

We tried them the other day, and were very impressed. Beautiful decor and extremely attentive staff were our first impressions. We were sat without reservations, and quickly greeted with water, and menus. We started with flaky and savory samosa and light, fluffy garlic Naan. The papadum and ubiquitous condiments was kept full, which was appreciated while waiting for our entrees. I had the lamb chettinad, and really enjoyed it. The lamb was tender and flavorful, and the sauce was really well seasoned, and not shy on the "Scovilles". Goat curry, Chicken Tikka Masala, and a chicken tikka sag rounded out our choices, and no one was disappointed. The ample portion of Basmati was appreciated. We ended up ordering another garlic naan to dip into our mains. A filling dinner for four, with a few Kingfisher's came to about $200 with tip. read more

I've only ordered take out but when I lived in Stamford Taj was my go to and helped get my husband to love Indian food as much as I do.

Excellent restaurant on the second floor of a bustling block of Summer Street. Chicken Chettinad, eggplant tamarind, vegetable korma are particularly delicious. Staff is extremely friendly and accommodating. The lunch special is a great value. read more

Today I had an event at the restaurant and I was WOWED by the food. The drinks were amazing and the food was fantastic! I love a colorful plate with a beautiful presentation! Definitely a great way to start the day! It had flavor. I'm gluten free so they had GF options, vegan options and non spicy. You can ask for as spicy as you'd like! The cocktails were fun, yet delicious! The restaurant it self is very nice. Not huge but it has a nice space with nice seating tables and booths. Service was excellent! Would love to come back! read more

10/10 quick bite in downtown Stamford! I come here at least 2x a week because the bowls are so delicious, affordable and so convenient.

Food wasn't great - too much sugar in the chicken tikka masala. Mixed up my naan with roti. They fixed the mix up but i would not recommend the food. It also over priced compared to the portion size of the entrée. read more

I ate here a couple of weeks ago and it was honestly the best Indian food me and my girlfriend have tried in both Connecticut and New York. The staff Sumesh and Sabash (hope I'm not messing up your names) were amazing help. They were really friendly and helped a lot with getting my order right with my allergies. The place itself looks great itself too. We thought we were a bit underdressed when we arrived. The presentation of the food and drinks were also pleasing. We will definitely be coming back. read more

A frequent visit of mine when I worked in Stamford, CT and a favorite choice of the onshore employees from Wipro International out of Banglor, India. This was the favorite choice of many of us in the area (although the Stamford area is lucky enough to have several options between Greenwich to Westport). The ambience, service, and food was always top tier for buffet, dine in, and takeout options. read more

Very good service including friendly staff but too expensive, small quantity,and not impressed by the quality of the food

We haven't even finished our dinner yet but this place is absolutely amazing. They bring you hot towels, appetizers and their dishes was everything we expected it to be. I ordered the butter chicken, my husband the spicy vindaloo. Their garlic naan is amazing as well, we're so happy to find our new go to spot. You also can't ask for a cleaner and attentive service! read more

Great food, service and ambience. Being from NJ we have tried a lot of Indian restaurants and this was one of the best experiences easily. Very conveniently located from I95, we were driving back to NJ and craved some indian food and thought to give this place a try.. and glad that we did. I ordered fish fry and matar paneer which they made spicy on request. Their tandoori roti was also really fresh and good. Also ordered a garden salad, and it was really good too.. my experience has been subpar with salads in indian restaurants, it's generally not that fresh or the greens are wilted here that was not the case. Everything seemed super fresh freshly cut up and the salad was fine. Matar paneer was delicious too. Best part was that food wasn't oily, but the flavors were right on point. They know their spice game. Another thing worth mentioning is their quantity. It was by far the best quantity I have seen compared to other Indian restaurants in New York in New Jersey region. Servers greeted us with smile every time. They also offered us a complimentary gulab jamun. even the Papad that is served in the beginning was really good. We were told later that biryani is their speciality which the chef makes in a bamboo so we will definitely be visiting sometime later to experience that all in all great experience. A must visit. read more

The food here is so good. High quality and excellently spiced. This is not watered down Indian food. We knew it was going to be good when the lentil crackers and dips like mango chutney and tamarind sauce were plopped down and were incredible. We had veggie samosas and lasooni Gobi to start. Very good. Then we had the butter paneer (my favorite), chicken tikka masala (excellent), rack of lamb chettinad (very unique and actually had a kick which I like), and shrimp saag (very good). The service is lovely and the food came out very quickly. The drinks are also so fun and unique. My cocktail came in a shell. The presentation and flavor were on point. Hard to find properly good and authentic Indian food but this place is it. read more
