We went to Taj Mahal the food was very good, service was good and the atmosphere was nice. I had the chicken curry, naan and kheer. It was amazing! They serve the lunch menu 11-3 even on weekends. And the portions are great. I highly recommend Taj Mahal. And they're not charge a surcharge for using a card. read more

Amazing food! Typical order is Chicken Tikka Masala, Garlic Naan, and a Mango Lassi. Best Indian food in Fort Wayne!

Went in and was sat, the booths are small so we asked for a chair at then end of the table for my brother in low as he just had Hip surgery. The host refused to give a chair and wanted us to move to the other said of the restaurant if we wanted a chair, this is not customer service. She was make it out like it would be in the way of customers. If a customer is requesting a chair at the end of the booth why not just accommodate them. Why move tables with baby to the other side of the restaurant? I spend a lot of money at this restaurant a month visiting at least 3-4 times or More. read more

We hadn't been back to Taj Mahal for a long time but are so glad that we went. Service was quick and very friendly. I got the vegetarian thali (combo under house recommendations), and every single thing on the plate was absolutely delicious. The best Indian food I've had in a while! Great value and chill atmosphere. read more

I frequent this restaurant with my son a few times a year when I visit. The food is good, the restaurant clean and the wait staff always treats you well. Ample parking. The menu has an array of dishes, appetizers and breads. read more

This is our go-to Indian place for good reasons. Everything we've tried has been excellent and our favorites are the naan, samosas and especially the Malai Kofta. Everything has always been clean and comfortable with excellent service. read more

We dined here on a Saturday evening when spending the weekend in Ft. Wayne. Excellent food and service. Our group of three ordered several different entrées to share. The Mango Lassi was delicious, and served promptly. We ordered garlic naan, Paneer Masala,, Dal Fry, and Aloo Gobi. We were each served a bole of rice. All were excellent, my favorite was Paneer Masala. The menu is extensive with many vegetarian options. The Dining area was nicely furnished and the booths were comfortable. A great place to dine if you are in Ft. Wayne. read more

Taj Mahal Indian Restaurant - Chicken Biryani & Tandoori Chicken - Indian Near Me - Fort Wayne, Indiana

See all

I happened to be in Fort Wayne after MANY years & decided to take advantage of Taj Mahal being close to my appointment. I used Door Dash, so I didn't see the restaurant in person. Using that delivery service made it a little more expensive, but it seemed easier to use than the delivery on the restaurant's website. The restaurant itself had a delivery charge online. Door Dash did not have a delivery fee but had other fees. Would have paid for the convenience either way. Just no way around that. I didn't even think to look at GrubHub until now. My order was prepared quickly & was in my hands in less than 40 minutes from the time I hit enter. Everything was packed well & made it home over an hour away with no leaks. It was all still hot & fresh. I may have overdid it just a little, but I have no good Indian food near me & wanted lots of leftovers. I ordered pappad, naan, tandoori roti which is a sourdough I hadn't tried before, two orders of vegetable pakora, & two orders of vegetable samosas. To my surprise, they also had Punjabi Bhaji, so I got that, too. Asked for medium & it was plenty spicy. Not bland like a lot of places when you ask for that level of spice. It did turn out I had a small box of rice with my entree as well as three chutneys. Since I wasn't sure what would be included, I also ordered an extra order of large rice & a mint chutney. The extra rice does help make the meal stretch. The cup of chutney was a little overpriced at $2.99 but worth having because it is my favorite of the three. The mint & sweet chutneys were as expected. The spicier red chutney with onion was slightly different than what I've had elsewhere but I ate it all. Yum! It wasn't so hot that it was inedible like some restaurants. My only complaint would be that for the amount of pakora & samosas I got, I would have expected a bit more chutney to be included. This was quite a feast. Everything was really delicious! Not quite as good maybe as Shalimar & India Palace in Indy once were but a definite close second. Prices were mostly reasonable. The entree was especially higher than I expected but inflation. It would cost far more to buy the ingredients to make all of this at home, & it wouldn't be as convenient nor as good. If I knew how to make all of this, I wouldn't need a restaurant. It has been far too long since I had Indian food. My only regret is not having more now. I also wish I'd gotten some garlic naan. All in all, I would return if the opportunity arose. I would prefer to dine in next time. I wasn't able to make special requests on DD. You can call the restaurant, but I really was crunched for time. My Dasher, Grace, had heard good things about Taj Mahal and was right. Go check it out. I'm glad I treated myself. I could eat this every day if I had the budget & were close by. This made my day. Well, few days. Wink. read more

Taj Mahal Indian Restaurant - Door Dash order. Packed well. - Indian Near Me - Fort Wayne, Indiana

I was craving for Indian food and this was close by with good reviews. Before placing the order, I checked with the staff about their speciality. She was like we do everything the BEST. Placed order and waited for an hour. Ordered : Chicken Biriyani Parotta and Butter Chicken Chicken Biriyani tasted like tomato rice with chicken pieces. Parotta was more like thin Chapathi slices and Butter chicken was so sour and high on preservatives. I couldn't eat more than a spoon and just left it. Very unsatisfied and horrible experience. One of the staff checked if we wanted to pack the gravy as we hardly ate, I told her how it tasted. To my surprise she said people love this. I really pity their customers. I seriously wonder how they got such good ratings. We weren't happy with food and service. I DONT recommend! read more

This is the only Indian restaurant in the Fort Wayne area in my opinion as the other one up North I have never tried nor have the desire based on other reviews. I feel that this restaurant has stepped up the game over the past few years and have improved since the pandemic. We were here over Easter for lunch and was happy to report that they have wonderful service and the food comes out quick. I ordered the Non-Veg Thali (Traditional indian meal served in silver platter with chicken pakora, lamb curry, chicken curry, tandoori chicken, dal, rice, raitha, naan and kheer as dessert) which is a wonderful blend of different food off the menu. The curry was not too spicy unless you request it and everything was cooked perfectly. They give you ample naan and rice for your meal. The lamb also was quite tender and flavorful. I would give this place a 2 thumbs up for any meal! read more

I hate to leave a negative review for what seems to be one of the only, if not the only, Indian restaurants in the area, but whew. We were in the area for the eclipse and got in late one evening. We didn't want to go out so ordered delivery from here. To say the food wasn't good is an understatement. Everything tasted off, weird, and/or bland. Literally everything, from the chutneys to the main entrees. We ordered a couple of different dishes: samosas, vegetable pakoras, aloo tikki, paneer makhni, malai kofta, naan, and rice. Probably the least offensive were the samosas and the malai kofta. And this wasn't because we ordered delivery, to be clear. It wasn't about the dishes not being hot enough, etc. It was solely the taste. With no other options, perhaps people take what they can get, but honestly, I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone ever. read more

Food was not good, chicken and rice was not hot, there was little nats flying all around me and my mom at the table. I mentioned it to our server but he didn't do or say anything. me and my mom were the only two people in there, It looked nice in there, and the food looked way better then it tasted all in all I gave it a 1/10 the mango lassi was the best thing. read more

Date nite last Friday! Food fab! Lamb curry so tender and chicken tikka so flavorful! As was the naan and pappadon! Best in Fort Wayne!

Always happy to have their food. I've never had anything but an exceptional experience via take out or dine in. I don't even live in Fort Wayne but I go there specifically for their food. Excellent food and excellent service. Huge fan of their veggie pakora and saag paneer. read more

My daughter and I have been wanting to try Indian food, so we came here yesterday for lunch. The lady that greeted us was cordial. Pointed at a booth for us to be seated. The atmosphere looked different from some of the old photos I've seen. Didn't have the most authentic Indian feel. Two ladies took care of us. They did a great job keeping drinks refilled. All good was brought out in a timely manner. We tried vegetable pakora and aloo tiki for appetizer. Both were really delicious. Served with two sauces. A mint sauce and a brown sauce. My daughter had chicken curry, and I had paneer masala. All good, mild spicy. I'd like to try more! read more

The food was amazing!! The service and waitstaff was also excellent! We were traveling through Fort Wayne, IN on vacation and honestly almost passed on this restaurant because of the 3.7 star review. I'm so glad we didn't it's definitely one of my FAVE ever Indian Restaurants read more

My wife and I enjoy Indian food. On Valentine's Day we decided to open our Yelp app and try something near by. The Taj Mahal turned to be close by but some of the reviews caused us to be concerned. Most of them were written by people who had written one or two reviews. This is a sure sign that perhaps the reviewer might be using the platform to react with angry and trying hurt the establishment. So we jumped in the old jalopy and set off in the frigid weather to give it a try. It was a good decision. The restaurant was clean and well decorated and almost upscale. Since it was lunch time we chose the buffet. The service was good and the food was excellent! The food was at a good temperature and very tasty. The selection was good and comparable to most Indian buffets I have visited. I am convinced you will enjoy your visit. read more

I went therewith my family. We each had different entrees and shared an appetizer.while we were waiting to order they placed crispy seasoned breads with a chutney that was both wonderfully flavorful and spicy. I had one of the best chicken dinners ever, it was smooth, creamy with a wonderful kick. The wait staff was so polite and attentive that we never had a problem. This restaurant feels larger than it is, there is wall of mirrors the design is modern and comfortable read more

Food was great. I got it fast and it was very peaceful inside. The people were nice. I recommend this place

An update to my review two years ago: The food is still delicious. We rarely go there now due to the excessive wait time If they would SIMPLY RETURN TO LUNCHTIME BUFFET they would have so much more frequent customers, simpler kitchen and waitstaff labor, and much better reviews. Some Indian restaurants in other cities AND ordinary restaurants have returned to buffet and salad bar offerings read more

Zero stars Ordered two lamb tikka masala dishes one order of naan and one order of paratha...worst Indian food I've ever had. 1. It was definitely not lamb but beef. 2. The tikka masala sauced tasted like straight up prego with heavy cream added. It tasted like Italian tomato sauce with cream. No traditional Indian spices like garam masala etc. 3. Trader Joe's frozen paratha is 100 times better then what we were given. 4. The garlic naan was also a disappointment. Do NOT waste your money here. I still can't believe they tried to pass this as Indian food. read more

Great tasting Indian food reasonably priced friendly service and they understand the heat level well

I'd love to be able to comment on the food, but after ordering over an hour ago, we have yet to receive it. No explanation. No apology. Not even a refill of water. The couple that was here prior to us asked to have their order bagged to go as they have been here well over an hour. The waitress took his credit card and returned it quickly. Over five minutes later the food was delivered to the table without explanation. The temperature in the restaurant can be no warmer than 65 degrees. Everyone is wearing coats. I feel sorry for the Door Dash/Grub Hub people who are sitting here wasting an entire evening. Not sure what is going on, but most assuredly we will ever be back. The food was good. Not sure if they were down staff due to illness, or what? Some kind of explanation or apology would have gone a long way. read more

Service was awful, didn't ask if we wanted anything to drink and didn't come back until our food came, 35 minute wait when we were the only people in the restaurant. I asked for the hottest level of spice, i don't know if I should be offended being white, but the dish came with absolute no spice. Felt disrespected the entire time. Do take out or delivery. Awful experience dining in read more

Arrived here around 8:15 pm, having seen the place closed at 9, thinking we would be more than fine for just two people to be served. We were super rushed, brought the check and to go boxes less than five minutes after our food arrived...really awkward overall. That said, taste of the food is always my number one metric, and I wouldn't give my lamb biryani more than 2 or 3 stars at best. It was okay...I've had far better Indian food elsewhere. read more

Buffet is terrible. The food was either burnt or not warm. Would not recommend this buffet. Waste of money. Yuck!

This place is horrible,, the food was so spicy and the staff was arrogant and rude. Would never visit this place in my life.

The food was not bad but not fantastic either. The appetizer came right away but it took way too long to actually get our main dish, at least 45 minutes after our appetizer. Prices were reasonable and the restaurant was clean and had a nice atmosphere. read more

Lots of vegetarian options and the food was delicious! Nice restaurant and good service. We will definitely be back.

This is one of the best restaurants I visit in Fort Wayne. It is not luxurious, but its dishes are exquisite. They transport you to an exotic place with the explosive combination of their dishes. read more

Great stop for the lunch hour! Both the service and food are excellent. The dining area is a nice size and has plenty of room for ample seating. Everything seemed clean and well kept. You can't beat the lunch buffet. Plenty of options and at a very good price! Naan, Chicken Masala and fresh vegetables covered in a spiced sauce (not sure about the specific name). Everything was hot, flavorful and I was not disappointed. I will definitely be returning for the full service dinner experience! read more

We really like this place most of the time. For take out, they do seem to really skimp on the portions. When you eat in, the portions are accurate. We love the chicken tikka masala. read more

Fort Wayne, IN. First experience at an Indian restaurant a few weeks ago! I fell in love with the garlic naan which is a garlic flatbread. The garlic naan was far better than the plain. I drank a strawberry lassie which is somewhat like a sweet yogurt smoothie, a nice contrast to the spicy food. But my favorate thing on the menu was Gulab jamun. I have never tasted anything quite like this. They are a spongy milk based balls soaked in a sweet syrup. I highly recommend trying them. I had a sampler. I can't begin to tell you what was on it, but servings were quite large. It was a fun experience with a group of 12, but service was slow. One person got their meal about 20 minutes before anyone else. But the hot food was hot and cold foods were cold. Servers were friendly. The restaurant was clean. Also, there is an Indian market next door. read more

I have ordered takeout from here a couple of times (thanks Waiter on the Way!) and enjoyed everything I ordered. The vegetable pakora and Punjabi Bhaji have excellent flavors, and I especially like the several types of naan, hot and fresh. I enjoy the "mild" spice level. I don't eat Indian food often enough to judge whether it's authentic but it's good, and that's what is important to me. There is a nice variety on the menu with quite a few vegetarian options. Unfortunately the dining area has a very strong incense or something that sets off my asthma immediately so I am not able to try the buffet or dine-in. read more
