    Butter Chicken and Aloo Mutter
    Jenny T.

    My partner and I were looking for Indian food in Fredrick and stumbled upon this place. We came here for dinner on a Thursday night around 7 and the staff were attentive and quick. When we walked in, it was pretty empty except one other group dining in, but as it got later, more people trickled in. We got the butter chicken, aloo mutter, and garlic naan. The butter chicken was delicious and had a good amount of chicken thigh pieces in it. The aloo mutter had a slight kick to it that paired perfectly with the garlic naan. The portions were generous and we had half of the butter chicken and aloo mutter to take home. I will definitely be back to try more items on the menu!

    Was passing through so grabbed dinner here. Ordered a Taj Mahal beer, the pani puri & the lamb Vindaloo. Pani puri wasn't good, very plain tasting. The lamb Vindaloo was good and they got the spice level right that I asked for. It was Tuesday evening 8.20pm ish, they weren't busy and service was a little slow. Besides that the waiter did great getting everything I asked for. Lots of indoor seating.

    I would definitely recommend you come here for a buffet option! Not the cheapest but good quality. Great array of Indian food choices. More than three dishes for vegetarians and dishes with meats. There's also really bomb pani puri. Also had dessert to wash it all down! The rice was a bit crunchy in some parts and were small amounts but all in all I enjoyed my food and ate so well. I was so so happy!! Very yummy:)

    Taj Mahal is located at the old Frederick Town Mall. There's plenty of parking and the decor is Indian themed with old wooden bar at the front entrance as you walk into the building. I went during lunch, so they were serving the lunch buffet. There was not a hostess to greet us, but there was plenty of seating and it's a pretty large space. There are white table cloths and silverware prepared at each table before you arrive. The lunch buffet has a large selection of goat curry, butter chicken, tandoori chicken, potatoes, fried fritters, naan, yogurt and cilantro based dips. There are plenty of vegetarian options as well. Most of the dishes that I was able to try were delicious and flavorful. The owner was friendly and asked if we needed anything during our meal. Since it was a buffet, the waitress would clear our plates the few times we would get up to fix ourselves another plate, so they were attentive. It's a great place for lunch since there was not a wait time to be seated or served. I highly recommend to try Taj Mahal if you're ever in the mood for Indian food.

    Buffet.

    We came for a Saturday afternoon buffet, and were very surprised at the huge selection. The most important thing was the food!!!! Extremely diverse selections, with an incredibly talented chef.

    Hey! Welcome to Frederick, Taj Mahal! We needed you! Sorry I didn't come in earlier, I was busy. Your Samosa Chat starter was great! Just the right amount of Chick Peas and Tamarind and Mint sauce. Yummy. When I ordered my Chicken Saag spicy, you certainly delivered! For me, it was on the cusp of being too hot. That's just how I like it. The non-spicy spices were very aromatic. Your Garlic Naan came out crispy and delicious. Next time I'll order two. I didn't leave room for dessert. Save me some Gulab Jamun for next time. Thanks. Sorry about the other reviewer that left you Two Stars because your INDIAN food was too SPICY, even though he admitted he had a bland pallet, yet ordered medium spicy. Weird. You deserve better than that.

    We drove quite a distance to come here based on the reviews, and ended up being disappointed. The food was dry and lukewarm, and they did not honor the drink price on their website. The menu posted states drinks are included with the buffet. When asked about it, the waiter stated that was an outdated menu and gave no apologies for misrepresenting their prices. Will not be back. There are much better Indian buffets in Germantown.

    This charming, local ice cream shop is a favorite in the community. We stopped by after dinner at a…read morerestaurant. We intentionally declined dessert at the restaurant with the intention of visiting this cozy ice cream shop. The interior is very small and a line easily forms outside of the front door. We ordered butter pecan and caramel pistachio. I really enjoyed the creamy texture and the mild caramel flavor of my ice cream but the pistachios seemed a bit too soft. Nevertheless, overall I loved my choice. The hubs enjoyed his butter pecan but said that his socks weren't knocked off. He felt as if his ice cream texture was a bit off. I loved the relaxing vibe and community spirit. There was also a lovely variety of flavors, including a dairy-free option. They also give away free fast-acting "Lactaid"-type tablets. I would definitely return!

    Cute little ice cream shop in downtown Frederick. The space inside is pretty small, so several…read morepeople were waiting outside while orders were being placed, but the line moved steadily. There was only one employee working when we visited, but he handled everything with a great attitude. He was friendly, polite, and never seemed flustered despite staying busy. The ice cream itself was delicious, and the portions were generous. I got the butter pecan, while my daughter enjoyed the chocolate love and mint chocolate chip. Both were flavorful and hit the spot on a warm day. My only disappointment was that they didn't have a traditional cookies and cream flavor. The only option was a coffee Oreo version, which wasn't for me. Other than that, they had a nice variety of classic flavors, several cone options, and basic toppings. Overall, a great little local ice cream shop with friendly service and generous scoops. We'd definitely stop by again.
