I have seen many people order from here so I thought I would give it a try as I love Indian cuisine. My significant other has never had the privilege of eating this type of cuisine, so it was overall an exciting time for him. From start to finish the food, service, and experience were amazing. I would highly recommend eating here in person as well as getting take away! (We definitely ate first and took pictures after. It was that good!) read more

I grabbed takeout from Taj Mahal late one evening last week. My food was ready quickly and was bagged up really well to make sure nothing spilled on the way home. Even my mango lassi was in the brown paper bag with the food, but nothing budged in transit. Since it was late in the evening, free street parking was readily available. The inside of the restaurant is MUCH bigger than it looks from the outside. I'd love to dine in sometime. The staff greeted me and got me my food right when I walked in. I ordered garlic naan, mango lassi, and saag mushroom. All were good! The saag mushroom left just a little to be desired, but I'd definitely eat it again. Would also love to try their tikka masala and several other dishes. read more

First time at Taj Mahal Bar & Grill. My girlfriend and I met there for lunch at 11 a.m. There was street parking right out front and I paid on the Cincy EZPark app. My girlfriend is a big lover of Indian food. They brought out the sauces/chutneys and they were cold, straight from the fridge and she was very disappointed in that. We ordered our drinks and neither one of us cared for the drinks at all. I ordered the chai tea and she ordered a manhattan. My chai tasted like milk and sugar and that is pretty much all, I was missing the spiciness of chai tea. Also a skin had formed on top of the tea as if the milk was scorched. She did not care for the manhattan at all, not really boozy and definitely not in the right glass and had a bunch of ice in it instead of none or just a single cube. On to the food. We both enjoyed our food. She ordered many items as she likes to take it home for the next day. I ordered the lamb kabob which is cooked in a Tandoor oven. I am going to say this is the single best dish I have ever had in an Indian restaurant and I would most assuredly order it again. My girlfriend said her meal was good in the restaurant and as leftovers at home as well. Our waitress did not have much of a personality and also it was clean inside but nothing spectacular. read more

Upon entering, the restaurant is very clean and there are no lingering odors from the food. I was impressed since I've been to many Indian restaurants on both coasts. The food was very tasty and nicely presented. I had the chicken tikka masala and my daughter had an eggplant dish. Both at spice level 2. Yummy! Will definitely be back. read more

Accidentally came in 10 minutes before close and they served us the most delicious Indian food. Perfectly spicy and flavorful. Would definitely recommend! Very friendly staff too. read more

Food taste was good. It's shown open till 12:30 but only does take away after 10:30 PM. Portion size was enough for 2 people. Garlic Butter nan and mutter Paneer was great. Kadhai paneer was not that good. It was more tomato based gravy. read more

Dined in on a Sunday evening and had wonderful, incredibly attentive service. Our server didn't let our water glasses drop to halfway! Mixed thoughts from the group I dined here with. The trio of dips were very tasty, they seemed more homemade than others I have had elsewhere. We enjoyed the Keema and Vegetable samosas. The Dal soup was so flavorful but definitely had a kick of spice to it. The Aloo Saag was not the best we've ever had - it tasted like it had gotten burnt from sitting in a pot for too long. Sadly, not a dish we wanted leftovers of! :( I did enjoy the Saag Choley, always a nice comforting meal. The spice levels weren't as high as some in my group had hoped for; my brother love spicy food and asked for a 5/6, but it really wasn't that spicy - he said he would've rated that more like a 3/6. The naan was fine, we ordered the Paneer Naan but there wasn't much cheese in it. Overall, I would give this a 3.5! read more

Taj Mahal Bar & Grill - Indian Near Me - Covington, Kentucky

One of my favorite spots for Indian! I highly, highly recommend Taj Mahal if you are in the mood for Indian, they do not disappoint. I've been over 5 times now, and each experience has been wonderful and everything is on point. The service is prompt and friendly, and I love that they play Bollywood movies in there to set the vibe. The food is delicious, I highly recommend the chicken makani if you are a fan of butter chicken or chicken tikka masala. The saag paneer (spinach dish) is very good as well. The naan is fluffy and fresh. I don't usually love Gulab Jamon, but theirs is so good! Try it out! read more

I was in town for a work trip and found myself absolutely starving once I got settled into my hotel. After browsing Uber Eats and cross checking the restaurants on Yelp, I discovered Taj Mahal. To my surprise they are open really late during the week, which was a total lifesaver. I ordered the navratan korma and garlic naan. It arrived fairly quickly and I dove right in. I had some trouble eating it as I forgot to mark that I needed utensils and the containers it came in didn't give me much space. That said, it was delicious. The portion size was fairly big and I had leftovers to enjoy later. My order came out to roughly $30 which is on par with what I usually spend on Indian food. Overall, I would definitely order here again. read more

Delicious Indian Food in NKY! I've always been disappointed because I only knew of one other Indian restaurant in NKY, and I've always been disappointed with their food. Was excited to discover this spot! The food - we ordered Lamb Korma, Chicken Mahkani, and Goat Curry. I should have believed the previous reviews - I ordered level 4/6...and it was hot. I probably should have gone for a 3. My roommates both got level 5 as they like spicy, and they said they wouldn't go any spicier - one would back down to a 4. The food was great - the lamb korma was my personal favorite. Garlic Naan was fantastic! The waitress was very friendly, and she did try to warn us she usually doesn't go beyond a 3 spice level. I thought I was braver than I am...but it was still delicious - full of flavor! The place was very clean and pretty empty when we went, but it's right off the street, and downtown Covington is chill. You should check it out! read more

The worst mango lassi around. They add food coloring to it and it has essentially no flavor.

Again, I was very excited to try a place and I was a bit of a let-down. To start, I ordered both a paneer makhani entrée and dal soup. Turns out the cook (older gentleman) simply "forgot" to make the dal soup. I enjoyed the paneer makhani and just forgot about the soup. The dish was a small portion of paneer makhani and large dish of white rice. The size difference was extreme. It's pretty cringe worthy when you ask $18 for a small entrée, and just give a "sorry I forgot to make it" regarding the dal soup I ordered. For the small size of the entrée (pictured), it was tasty and clearly homemade. The issue is with the conservative portion, high price, and just forgetting I ordered something. I routinely get a better panner makhani entrée from a competitor for only $15, with a larger portion and better flavors. It's a one and done for me with this restaurant. read more

Taj Mahal Bar & Grill - Look how tiny that entrée bowl is, compared to the massive rice portion. Not worth $18 at all. - Indian Near Me - Covington, Kentucky

Food was delicious and service was friendly, informative and quick. We chose both breads , wonderful warm light . Our chicken dishes had just enough spice and so tender. Want to go back soon. read more

We were the only people in there at about 4pm on a Friday. Several door dashers came through. The people working there were nice, but I don't know if any of them were wait staff. There seemed to be confusion as to whether we were there to eat something or just to enjoy their company. Maybe they weren't actually open for dining although no one said anything. We got it sorted out eventually and got both a drink and food. The mushroom saag was good, but the naan was the star of the show. It was thin, crispy, and perfectly garlicky. The bar is extensive to have no cocktail menu. We ended up just going with a beer and a shot of bourbon. No complaints there. I'd probably try it again. read more

It's difficult to believe you can find really good, authentic Indian food in Covington, Kentucky, but this restaurant has it. It's bright and airy, the service is very friendly, the prices are fair and the food is absolutely delicious. Their saag is some of the best I've ever tasted. Give Taj a try. You'll be glad you did. read more

This was a new spot for us based off recommendation, growing up eating indian/paki food I always have high expectations. To start off the ambiance is personal, while they still have a bar area too if you wanted to get drinks. They have white cloth on their tables too, if that makes it a little fancier. The service was was awesome as well we were in there with a large party and we were not forgotten about. Now to the food... it was DELICIOUS! the spice levels are 1-6 and 5-6 are for the brave and bold...aka me. it was HOT with a level 5 saag paneer. I loved every bite wanting more. The saag was so well flavored with the paneer and rice. (my personal favorite dish) Naan was some of the best local naan we've had, and we also got daal soup, it was good nothing to write home about though. We also got the chicken mahkani (very similar to butter chicken) it was creamy and dreamy! so yummy highly recommended. 5/5 amazing meal. read more

Best Indian food in town. By far. Anytime I am craving Indian food, this is the spot I end up always going back to

Food was amazing. The staff were exceptional & knowledgeable. I ordered the chicken tikka spice level 3. Highly recommend.

Today, we turned lemons to lemonade. A quick storm left us with no power and fast food wasn't an option. We threw imaginary darts and landed on Indian, and this place was relatively close to our walking path. We sat ourselves and shortly after another couple without power sat in close proximity. We exchanged pleasantries and wished each other well. The service was good, prices fair, location nice, and the food was amazing!! We've found a new spot for delicious food. You should try it, but don't wait until your power is out. Get there today!! read more

Best North Indian food. I really appreciate the service and they bring your food in less than 15mins. I am a good fan of the Naan breads I recommend everyone to have one along with the meal. I love the red chutney (Sauce) which comes with appetizers is the own recipe of Taj Mahal. I suggest everyone not to miss the dessert (Gulab Jamun) if you are a fan of Indian Desserts. Enjoy the food with great Indian music and atmosphere. read more

My boyfriend and I have eaten here over a handful of times because the food is DELECTABLE, the customer service is fantastic, and the prices are right. It's also a great spot if you're looking to have a drink with your meal since there's a full bar. We also invited friends to check this place out and they too enjoyed their meals and experience. Some of our Taj Mahal favorites: -Mixed platter appetizer with the red onion chutney -Paneer chili (vegetarian) -Aloo saag (vegetarian) -Chicken tikka masala -Garlic nan We would love to try everything on the menu eventually, but we can't help but to order our favorites because that's what we crave.

I found this place visiting Cincinnati, and it was one of the very few places that were open late. To my surprise, the food was phenomenal. We came back again before leaving, and it was consistent and great. Highly recommended if you're craving Indian. They also have a full bar! read more

This place has had great food every time I've had take out. The food tastes good, seems authentic, & the food temp is good.

My gf got food from here she said it was really good. I tasted it and it was pretty good. The garlic naan is a little dry though

Loved it. Ordered lamb curry, veggie samosas, and chicken biryani. All were extremely tasty and large portions. We will definitely be back. Only thing we thought could use a little more flavor was the chutney spreads. read more

We stopped in for an early lunch one afternoon just getting into town. It's a fairly short drive from the airport. We arrived before they opened but they were gracious enough to seat us early. We really enjoyed our meal and it was perfectly spiced (medium) just how we like it. Would definitely come back. read more

Drove over on a Saturday afternoon after reading the reviews. Upon arrival I realized the space was familiar. My uncle and his friends used to host cocktail parties here. The service was fast and friendly. My Chicken Tikka Masala was full of flavor and tender chicken. When I heated it at work a coworker followed the wonderful aroma to my office. I have to mention that while I was there a person called, after the gentleman answered I could hear him say , yes I speak English. Then the caller hung up. He turned and was still the same pleasant person. I was very impressed with his NON reaction to the rude phone call. read more
