I usually visit a restaurant multiple times over several months in order to give a comprehensive review. Taj Mahal in Conway is no different. Over the course of six months we have eaten there at least twice a week. The experience has been the same each time. Jay and his team have service and quality refined to perfection. The restaurant cleanliness is impeccable. The restrooms are some of the cleanest I've ever seen. Every item on the menu is, very simply put, delicious. The naan is homemade. None of that frozen junk some restaurants serve. The naan is light and crispy and chewy all at once. No matter your preference: from chicken to lamb to goat to shrimp and seafood to total vegan offerings, there's something for everyone here. You can order to your preferred spice level from mild to medium to hot. My wife prefers mild. I prefer medium. It's a nice heat that let's you know it's there without muting flavors and has you diving in for more. My go-to dishes are Chicken Tikka Masala, Butter Chicken, Lamb Korma or Matar Paneer. If you're there around lunch you can get a bowl with your choice of protein, a choice of rice (the saffron rice is great), naan, salad and chai tea. I always opt for the regular serving and get my protein with basmati rice and butter naan. I've eaten at thousands of Indian restaurants during my travels in the U.S. and abroad. Taj Mahal ranks in the top two best I've had in the U.S. and in the top three in all my travels. Do yourself a favor and experience world-class authentic Indian food today! Tell Jay that Charles sent you. And when you're done, come back here and let everyone know your experience! The photos attached to this review are from April 7, 2026 and Feb 17, 2026. The dishes are Chicken Tikka Masala (the brighter reddish gravy) and then a combo of Matar Paneer and Butter Chicken. (The more orange colored gravy.) read more

Still our go to Indian restaurant; even though it's 40 minutes away. I usually get chicken tiki masala, but this time I got butter chicken it was also great. We actually went this time during lunch. Will you get a salad Nan and a glass of chai tea with your meal. Very reasonably priced at lunchtime I think it was 12.99 and definitely the best Indian food within 40 miles from my area. And just so anyone knows if they come here quite a bit use your same card your phone number because you receive points that could be redeemable for appetizers or even entrées. read more

This is our favorite Indian place so far we will drive an hour to eat here. It has always been good reasonably priced and service is good.

Another excellent meal! Had the Tandoori shrimp. Came with 8 pieces of good size shrimp. Cooked perfectly and flavored wonderfully. Service is always great. I really don't understand why you have not tried this place in Conway. Next time you are trying to decide which chicken strip, burger, or Mexican food joint to go to- again, go try Taj Mahal. Sure you don't know anything about Indian Food. I didn't either. Start with the Butter Chicken for your first time. Heat level ranges from almost none to Indian Hot. Mild or "American" spice is the middle ground (makes my nose run). It is good to go with friends and each order something different and share. That allows you to taste more than one item. I guarantee they will all have flavor that will make you say- "I can't believe I haven't tried this before". read more

Walked in abt 40 min before they closed. Fabulous food (lamb korma, greens peas with paneer, veggie pakoras and naan), great service. We were passing through Conway on our way from New Orleans to Tontitown and gave these guys a shot and we're not disappointed. If we lived in Conway, we'd be in there 2-3 times a month! read more

My hubby and I thought we'd try Taj Mahal because we were craving good Indian food. We were not disappointed!!! I had saag paneer lunch bowl with rosemary naan. My husband had the chicken tikka masala lunch bowl with garlic naan. The flavored naans had an up charge on the lunch bowls. (I like the fact the menu reflected the additional charge because I've had to places where the server "forgot" to mention an additional charge until I ask about the additional charges on the bill.) We arrived shortly after the restaurant opened. The place was quiet. The ambient music was at a volume that added to the experience.... And you and your table mates could have a nice conversation. The saag paneer was creamy and delicious. The well portioned salad was fresh and tasty. The naan had the perfect amount of rosemary. My husband's chicken tikka masala's sauce had a bit more tomato taste than others we've had. The spices balanced the sauce well. "Heat" was exactly right. So thumbs up for this unique sauce. The cucumber salad tasted freshly cut. We will be back to Taj Mahal. read more

Paneer butter masala, medium. Naan bread with toasted sesame seeds are delicious. Chicken tikki masala. Restauranteur was extra informative and genuinely welcoming and made us feel at home. I recommend a taj mahaj black label beer to put you in the right frame of mind for communal dining with family. Ambiance is sleek fresh look. - recommend better lit signage out front. read more

The food was amazing and flavorful. And the service was even better! We will be back!

Both goat curry and fish masala were medium and very tasty. Not too spicy but had a slight kick. I love that Taj Mahal always has fresh ingredients. read more

Love the butter chicken, chicken biryani and the chicken 65! Very delicious! Very good portions. We have been several times. Would recommend! read more

We got door dash, and normally I won't review a door dash; but this was great! 5 star food even after sitting in a car! We both got lamb tikka masala; and it was awesome. Huge chunks of tender lamb, the right amount of peppers onions and spice. The mild is quite mild, so don't worry about the heat. I might even go up a notch next time. I like the rice too. Nothing too fancy; but a great base for the sauce. There were a few chunks of some sort of spice you don't want to eat/swallow; but only in my dish. I will be ordering again. $17. read more

Great food and great experience. We had a table of 5 and each of us got a different entrée. They were all excellent!!! We also tried 3 different flavors of naan, and they were delicious as well. The service was great. We will definitely be back. read more

We are visiting from out of town for a 50th wedding anniversary party. Saw this place with HIGH reviews on Yelp and google maps, so we decided to try it. We have previously owned restaurants and been in the food service industry for years, so we are very picky about where we choose to spend our money. They sat us immediately - party of 6, on a Friday night. Great! Waiter immediately came to the table to greet us and answer questions. We ordered garlic naan, water, and masala chai. {Saw the 20% mandatory gratuity for parties of 6 or more. We eat out a lot, either just the 2 of us or large groups. The mandatory gratuity never ends well}. Waiter left, we looked over the menu, he returned, we ordered, he clarified the order. The GOOD- the food was delicious! Our party ordered Chicken tandoori, chicken masala, lamb korma, and lamb in a clay pot. Brought out the child's chicken nuggets first, then 3-5 minutes later 2 more entrees; again, 3-5 minutes later another entree; and again, 3-5 minutes later, the last entree. Frustrating when the last dish comes out 15+ minutes after the first dish. Never saw the waiter again. We set the EMPTY water carafe at the edge of the table, hoping one of the waiters would notice it; they didn't. Never saw either waiter again. One of us had to go stand by the hostess stand to get their attention to bring us to-go containers and then had to go back up there to get their attention for the check. Service was horrible, and the restaurant was very noisy, even though there were few customers. It wasn't easy for us to talk at our table, because of the noise. The 2 stars is for the lack of service. read more

Do not order without adding the Parmesan Naan bread. Trust me you wine disappointed!!

Nice ambiance and great food with friendly service! I'm a huge addict to Indian food and this place has been saving me from my cravings. Highly recommend chicken korma (sweet coconut flavor) and butter chicken. Chicken tikka masala has more tomato flavor than I'm used to, but my baby loved it. Oh, and the coconut naan was our family's favorite! A server named Patrick was very friendly and professional and I thought he was the owner! Shows the ownership of everyone who works there and it's amazing. Everyone, please go try so they can start their buffet too read more

The first time I ate here it was about a year ago and I got takeout. To be honest, it was awful, and I had written it off as a bad restaurant. Since then, I've eaten there more recently, and I have to admit it is astronomically better. The quality of the food improved significantly. I also dined in this time for lunch, and I thought the service was great. I got the butter chicken and garlic naan, and it was delicious. The sauce to chicken ratio was perfect, and the chicken wasn't dry despite being in large chunks. The rice was perfectly cooked and the naan was addictive, so it's safe to say I plan on going back and trying some other dishes. read more

They have gotten a whole lot better since their opening. I especially like the lamb vindaloo and chicken 65. This is a good go to spot for carry out now. read more

This place is awesome! It's always very clean and looks really nice inside and the food is top tier. If you don't know what to order you can't go wrong with chicken tikka masala or paneer saag. They also have different levels of spice so if you don't like spice you can always just get mild and the flavor is still there! They also have garlic naan, and don't shy away from the chai tea! read more

Normally wouldn't write a review for somewhere I've never ate at but I'm a door dasher and I waited for 25 mins for them to ask me what I was there not once did anyone acknowledge me she sat over 10 people coming in after me as I stood there. Customer service sucked. read more

The food was amazing and Joseph took great care of our party. I can't recommend this place enough.

Very nice workers. Amazing environment. I really like the way it looks in here. Professional, clean, great food, reasonable prices. And maybe the best part about this place is the to go "boxes". I would recommend. Stupendous. read more

Taj Mahal India Kitchen - Conway - Friend - Indian Near Me - Conway, Arkansas

I could not talk more highly about the quality of the food, the personal and impeccable service and the overall experience of eating here. My friend and I decided to give it a try and were kinda nervous, just because it was a bit out of our comfort zone, but we tried the sweet/nutty naan and also the cheezy/garlicy naan as a starter and it was delicious! We could not eat it fast enough!! Felt like comfort wrapped in a bread. Our main dishes were incredible too - we both went with the lowest spice level - she got chicken, while I tried a lamb dish and both were amazing! flavors were amazing!! Give it a try....you will want to go back. read more

Can't go wrong with samosas and naan and theirs were amazing especially the mozzarella naan. The medium lamb biryani (sp?) was plenty spicy so if spice isn't your thing, go with mild. Portion size if huge which is a plus for leftovers. read more

Can a place be cozy and elegent at the same time? I guess it can. Let's start with the service, it was topnotch. We were made to feel like we were the most important people on the planet without being crowded or harrassed. Our needs were met, even to the point of dishes being suggested. Now let's talk about the food. It was all great but the coconut bread that was suggested was amazing. It's a two hour drive from my house to Conway but I will make that trip just for the bread. read more

The food here was delicious! This was our first time eating Indian food andour server Kiran was super helpful and kind. We will definitely be back. The place was very clean, looked nice and smelled amazing!! read more

We found our new favorite spot for Indian food. Everything we had was so flavorful and delicious. Unfortunately, the service was hit and miss. Other tables had a carafe of water and our server didn't bring us one until we were almost finished eating. We really needed water refills after ordering "Indian spicy" food. But he never visited our table to check on us once the food was delivered. Next time, I will ask for it when we place our order. We will definitely be back because the food was that great. Pricing is a little all over the place but we don't mind the higher cost for quality food. read more

Stopped in for Saturday lunch to a great meal. My partner is vegan and they had some items identified as vegan on the menu (a larger vegetarian section was also present.) My food (chicken korma and multiple types of bread) was very tasty. Service was very good and the server (Pravin) was attentive. He also made a good recommendation for a coconut bread. I'm not usually into coconut but decided to try it, and the coconut was diced so finely that I could taste it but not feel the coconut texture (a good thing for me.) The bread was slightly sweet and would be good for a dessert. It was also good with my korma gravy. The ambiance was good. We were dressed casually and fit in for a weekend lunch but it would also be good for business lunches or dates. My partner commented on how she liked the tables. I would definitely go back! read more

Ordered take out and didn't have leftovers! The garlic naan was covered in chunky garlic, the aloo gobi was fresh and flavorful. We also had the butter chicken which had great flavor but the chicken was in large chunks so it cooked a little dry. Lots of sauce helped. We also enjoyed their take on chicken fried rice but do not expect the traditional Chinese version. This one was made with softer vermicelli rice and different spices, more like biryani and less soy sauce inspired, which was still delicious! Next time, I want to try some paneer dishes and dine in the very clean and open dining space. read more

Very friendly, great atmosphere, strangely empty although plenty of door dash type drivers showed up while I was there, good food!

High praise for this Indian restaurant under new management. Service, food, interior - it was all excellent and exceeded my expectations. Our servers were attentive but not annoying. Appetizers were speedy and delicious. The fried chicken in masala - chicken 65 - was outstanding. Each of our dishes were different in their taste complexity, and all served medium as ordered. The chana masala - garbanzo beans simmered in a vegan sauce - was spectacular. The beans were expertly cooked: I make this dish at home in the instant pot regularly and have yet to achieve this level of mastery. I bow to the cook in Taj Mahal's kitchen, and will definitely come back on my next trip to Conway!! read more

The wife and I tried Taj Mahal India Kitchen tonight for the first time and we were very pleased with the food and the service. We had Butter Chicken with coconut bread and mango shrimp with Rosemary bread and they were delicious! Our server, Kiran, was great and recommended our selection and we were blown away! It was our first time going but we will be adding this to our recommend to friends list for sure and we will be making this a regular selection. read more

Exceptional service, delicious food, and great atmosphere. It's a Conway favorite for us!

Excellent food, service, ambiance. Super nice and knowledgeable servers. Upscale food at great prices.

Food was some of the best I've ever had. We had butter chicken, chicken tikka masala, and an assortment of naan breads to try. Everyone was friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is warm and modern. Very clean restaurant. I would recommend it to anyone. read more

Everything is Delicious!! You will not be disappointed! If you are unsure where to start order one of the breads (Naan) and Butter Chicken. Add the Pakormas (vegetable fried fritters) for an appetizer. This will introduce you to Indian Food and you will immediately fall in love! NOW...GOOOO! read more

What a fantastic experience. The wife had picked this restaurant based on Facebook chatter of which I'm somewhat skeptical. But what a great meal and helpful wait staff. Kiran was excellent at helping us understand choices and making recommendations where we were unsure of what we might like. I had the Lamb Vindaloo that was one of the most flavorful dishes. The wife had Lamb Kahari and enjoyed it as well. Great experience and hopefully you get Kiran to guide you. read more
