Best restaurant ever! I went there with my mom and my 12 siblings. Their customer service was excellent, and the staff was very helpful. I highly recommend this place if you're looking for somewhere to go with a big family. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the food was delicious. It's perfect for family gatherings or special occasions! read more

Been going here for years. They have this amazing deal for lunch now. Lunch box special for $15.99 every day. You get choice of two main dishes and rice. And tons of naan. Yummy and a great deal!! I got the saag paneer and the chickpea options (vegetarian). They have plenty of meat options too. read more

The service was great. I got a mango lassi, mango chicken (level 4 was the perfect amount of spice) and samosas. The samosas were great, and everything else was delicious. Nice chill place to have a good conversation. read more

So good! Everyone was really nice and it was really chill atmosphere. They have excellent naan and bread choices too

Excellent Service, Convenient Location and Clean place - but that's pretty much it :( So, why the 3 stars? Because sadly the food did not live up to the reviews - And I was looking forward to their meals, so it was disappointing. Chicken Biryani is more like chicken fried rice with Indian spices. Biryanis don't have boneless fried Chicken cubes, but rice cooked with Chicken, usually bone in. Getting something like this from a fusion restaurant is great, but not from a South Asian place. They served the lunch box menu in a plastic container - I mean, if I am eating in, and paying a gratuity for the experience, is it that hard to serve in proper plates. I am truly saddened by this experience, especially good experiences in the Columbus area, with all kind of restaurants and cuisines. read more

A favorite of adults and kids in our family for 15 years. Really enjoy the buffet and kids like being able to look into the kitchen where naan is made. read more

Hands down my favorite restaurant in Columbus. It's been tradition for 2 years now to get it at least once weekly. Sometimes even twice. We never get sick of it. It's the most delicious food, the friendliest service, such a clean establishment! Everything about Taj Palace is an A+ 10/10!!! We are Taj super fans and recommend to everyone! read more

We had to come to this place after being told they have a buffet. Once we arrived, we were told they no longer have it which was a downer. We decided to go with chicken curry and it was pretty good. My wife and friend got a level 6 and I got a level 3. Highly enjoyed it and wouldn't mind coming back really soon. read more

I ordered food from here for the first time today for lunch and I loved it! I did the lunch box special and picked chicken masala and garlic naan, plus the rice that comes with it. It was very creamy, flavorful and very filling- I did not finish it all. The garlic naan is soft, flavorful and addicting! I will definitely be ordering from here again! I ordered through DoorDash and delivery was very fast as well! read more

I'm going to preface this review by saying I've never been inside this place. We always call ahead to order and my husband picks up. We typically get a saag paneer and chicken tikka masala and we have never been disappointed. The portions are hearty, they always give tons of rice, and the naan is always fresh. After years of eating their food I have never had a reason to complain. Every now and then we venture out to try other establishments but we come back to Taj Palace, it's our go to for good Indian food read more

The flavors of the food were so good. The takeout experience was awesome. Very easy ordering and food was ready when they said it would be. I love that they offer spice level 1-10 so you can really have it how you like it. The only (very) odd thing about our food was that it seemed to be missing some things that were listed in the menu. For instance, the chicken korma description said it was supposed to have cashews and raisins. It had neither one. The chicken biryani was listed on the menu as having vegetables in it, but there were definitely no veggies in the biryani we had. It was just chicken and rice. That was a letdown, but I won't let it stop me from ordering from here again. Even without all the promised ingredients, it tasted great! read more

This was my first time at this restaurant and it definitely won't be my last! I ordered the Taj Tandoori mixed grill and the garlic naan and both were very good! There was plenty of food and it was fresh and hot. The service was excellent! Multiple people checked in to ask how my meal was and asked if I needed anything. Everyone was very friendly and polite! The only thing I would say needs improvement may be out of the restaurant's hands: the air conditioning was not doing much and it was quite humid and warm inside. This seems more like a landlord issue and not a reflection on the restaurant itself. read more

We were craving Indian for dinner and this place far exceeded our expectations! Everything was so flavorful, the prices were good, and the portions were pretty generous. Highly recommend the chili paneer app, it was fantastic! read more

I have seen this place since I was a kid, and last night my wife and I tried it. Wow! Just wow! The chicken tikka lajawab was fantastic. The chicken was probably the most tender chicken I've ever had. You could cut it with a plastic spoon. The flavor of the cream sauce with the peppers and chicken was terrific. My wife got the biryani with spice at zero and it was too spicy for her, but she thought it was good. Her spice tolerance is extremely low, and the brought out an order of chicken curry for her without hesitation. I have had homemade biryani, and some places I've had it I didn't like it. Here, it was really good. More of an orange than yellow which is what I was used to, but that's probably why it was so tasty. The garlic naan was great, as well as the mango lassi's we had. Service was great as well. The ambiance is the only thing that could use a little sprucing up, but it was nothing of bother. I probably said "mmmm" a minimum of 20 times. I am looking forward to returning. $16.95 for something that delicious with a good portion is perfect. I got a rice bowl in Old Hilliard in the brewery area, and it was small, $13 and the beef with either a glob of fat (3 of them) or very tough and it had a weird potato salad in it. The potato salad was good, but didn't go with the food. Not much flavor, too. So, for service, we'll portioned delicious food, the price is great and we'll worth it. read more

We love Taj Palace! Ordered both appetizer platters, 4 orders of Naan/Garlic Naan & 5 entrees to feed 10 adults. Everyone had plenty of food & there were leftovers! The food was fantastic ( we had 2 vegetarian dishes, 2 chicken& one lamb)... and it was only $116 for all of that food! Amazing- highly recommend! read more

Very good. If you're craving some cultural food, that's a little different, I would recommend this place. I was there for lunch and it was like $14.95 for a combo meal. Strange that they served it to me in a to go container. read more

I've been craving Indian food for a very long time but have no clue where to order around here. I looked at lots of reviews and settled on Taj Palace. I have to say I was quite disappointed with the portion and the price I paid ($23). I would've thought there would be way more chicken since the container that came was filled halfway up. All of the chicken you see on my plate is all of the chicken in the dish. The rest is just sauce! The other disappointing factor was that you can order spice levels 1-10. I ordered a higher level, but there was absolutely zero spice in the dish (I was hoping they'd bring the heat). Positive notes would be quite a large portion of rice was included with the meal and the garlic naan was pretty good. Will I order again from here? Maybe, not sure. I would be more willing to try another place first before reordering from here. read more

Really good and flavorful Indian food. I especially love the higher selection of vegetarian dishes. They're always very friendly and we never had to wait for a table. It seems a lot of their business is in takeout. Definitely a great choice if you're craving Indian. read more

We hadn't been here in a while since they got rid of the buffet, but decided to give it a try. I'm so glad we did. The food was delicious and the service was great. I love that they let me customize the heat level on the dishes and have a wide assortment to choose from. read more

I don't know how I haven't reviewed. I have dined in, and ordered carryout on several occasions. One time we went in to order carryout and sat at the bar for a drink while we waited. Last night I ordered carryout from the RW menu, and my husband went to pick it up (it's a 10 minutes drive for us). They have online delivery & carryout, but for RW, I ordered by phone. The young lady was super nice, and between ordering and pick up, it all went smoothly. We each had the Vegetable Pakora, which comes with 2 sauces, and Naan (traditional for me and Garlic for him). My go-to dish is Navrattan Korma, which wasn't a selection, so I got Chicken Tikka Masala, which my husband normally chooses. He branched out with Chicken Vindaloo. There was a large portion of rice to share. This was $20/pp, and it was a lot of food, leaving leftovers for today. It was absolutely delicious, and I recommend them for carryout or for dine-in buffet once we are back to normal. read more

I know there are a lot of Indian restaurants here in columbus, but I have never had any restaurant compare to how amazing Taj Palace is. I have tried a lot of food on the menu and I have never been disappointed. I usually get take out but I have eaten in a few times as well. The saag paneer and nav ratan korma are two of my favorite things. Of course the chicken tikka masala is the best I've ever had as well. Overall, I always look forward to getting food here as it is my favorite. read more

My go to for Indian cuisine around Cbus! They even let you choose on a scale of 1-10 how spicy you want your curry. My favorites are their sag paneer and chicken tikka masala, but I've never had a bad meal here! read more

This was the worst Indian food place I have ever been to. The service was terrible and I also have a terrible trip to the bathroom after (if you know what I mean) Probably never coming back here again. read more

Great Indian food. We usually get our food to go. The carry out is quick, food is hot and delicious. What more could you ask for. So glad Hilliard has an Indian restaurant! read more

Taj Palace was one of our regular restaurants years ago but we haven't been back in years. Until Saturday we returned and it was even better than we remembered! Highly recommend the samosa chaat, navratan korma and chicken makhani. So yummy. We will definitely be back soon read more

This was my first time ordering takeout and everything was delicious! The paneer masala, aloo naan, and the taj special platter (samosa, chicken pakora, paneer pakora, aloo tikki) were all so flavorful. I recommend! read more

Taj Palace - Indian Near Me - Hilliard, Ohio

I am a big fan of Indian food and was excited to find a restaurant with decent Yelp reviews close to the hotel where I am staying. I ordered Bhindi Masala and a side order of Naan for carry out. The restaurant looked very pretty and clean when I walked in. The staff was extremely polite and helpful. As far as my order: The portion was generous and my Masala was good and spiced quite nice - but the Naan... good grief... it tasted like a big blob of unsalted bread. There where no onion seeds on my Naan either. I could not bring myself to eat it .. read more

We tried a few Indian places in Columbus but never found ourselves fans of the cuisine, it was either too hot or too hard to eat with chunks of hard cloves. We found a place we liked well enough so we attempted to order from there. My boyfriend made the best happy little accident and ordered from Taj Palace when he intended on getting it from somewhere else. Since then, we are getting take out twice a week from Taj Palace. The chicken biryani is my death row meal!! The chicken never ever has gristle and the flavor is just unmatched!! They have phenomenal customer service and the manager, Kamal, is wonderful! My favorite restaurant in Columbus!!!! Would seriously give them 10 stars if I could. read more

Taj Palace - Chicken Biryani - spice level 1 - Indian Near Me - Hilliard, Ohio

I would give this place a 4.5 stars. I really liked their food, I had amazing lamb biryani, but their spice scale is a bit daunting. I got a spice level 7/10, and I could have probably gone with an 8. A 10-point scale is such a vast range though. Not a bad thing by any means though. Will go again. read more

We have been going to Taj Palace for a number of years and while the quality of their food originally started out as excellent, there has been a distinct downward trend in this regard over the last couple of years. The most aggravating factor is the inconsistency. One evening you might order food and everything is delicious and cooked to order. The next time you might order the same exact things and none of the spice levels will be as requested, and anything ordered mild is tasteless and might as well have been prepared in a water gravy. The ambiance of the restaurant is very nice, as it's beautifully decorated. The wait staff is also friendly and do an efficient job. We have been getting most of our meals as takeout since COVID, though, and that's about when the chef issues began here, with flavor inconsistency and spice level requests not being followed. My husband and daughter are both major chile heads and when they request top-level spicy, they mean it! I like milder dishes but even so I used to be able to expect and get an explosion of flavor from any entree ordered from Taj Palace. There are just too many good to great Indian restaurants in the Columbus area to settle for a place that's so hit or miss. Though very convenient to our home, we plan to drive a little further in the future to seek out other Indian places we can count on for consistently delicious food! read more

We dined in and at lunch time it was very quiet. If you are gluten free you can exchange the Naan Bread to the crackers. Yuuumy...... Lunch package was delicious. Very hot to temperature and so spicy it was fantastic. Decently priced and great service. Servers wear masks and tables are sanitized . Close to home. Now a favorite. read more

Taj Palace is our number one spot when craving tikka masala. Delicious sauce, though I always wish we got a bit more meat/paneer for the price. Each comes with a hefty portion of rice. And I absolutely recommend adding a side of garlic naan. Comes with two large pieces, hot and wrapped in foil to keep warm for your trip home. And the staff are fantastic! Once, we ordered delivery through doordash, only for the app to crash and the drivers being unable to see/deliver our order. Taj Palace staff called us to let us know, so we were able to pick up the order and pay in house and the Taj staff called doordash and cancelled/refunded our order for us!! Now that's service! read more

So they got rid of their buffet which is fine with me. I don't like a buffet necessarily. We had ordered Samosas to start. You get three for the appetizer dish. Really good. Our server brought us out some sauces there were three if them, a chutney, a onion something that was really spicy (and delicious) and a green sauce with some very thin, crispy bread. Yum! I got the non vegetarian bread and my friend got the tandoori chicken. We both loved our meals and had so much food! The tandoori chicken was really moist and flavorful. The Thali had a great sampling of food, a chicken, a goat, and a lentil dish plus rice pudding for dessert. Out servers did a great job of bringing the food out hit and fulling our drinks and were just nice and friendly. Can't wait to go back! read more

Delicious food, friendly wait staff, and good ambiance. Would go back. Good for a date night or with a group of friends.

Taj Palace is one of the many favorite Indian restaurants around Columbus. It has a great buffet for lunch and it's a fairly cheap one for being all you can eat. There's also an all vegetarian buffet on Tuesdays. It also has a menu with some good appetizers and beverages to complement your buffet items. There is pretty friendly and good service here too and they are happy to make recommendations. I always come for the buffet. I have never ordered off the menu so I can't say what I like on it. The lunch buffet has several vegetarian options, usually including biryani and soup. At about $9 it is reasonable for the amount of food you can eat. They also have a totally vegetarian buffet on Tuesday for a few dollars more, so that is worth checking out. It's also a nice looking restaurant inside so you could take someone here and still not pay that much. There is a full bar and they have several Indian beers. Another bonus is seeing into the kitchen. They have their tandoori oven right there behind the window so you can watch them cook your food. I recommend Taj Palace for cheap Indian food. It's nice and upscale looking inside so it's a good place for a nice meal. The staff is mostly friendly and will help you. read more

The service was fast & friendly!! I got take out, but I had to walk into the dining area to receive it & I will say it looks very cozy and comfortable inside. The food was DELICIOUS! I love Indian food and I've tried bad and good Indian, and I will say this place may be one of my favorite spots. I can't wait to bring my boyfriend here so that we can go on a date here together!! read more

Taj palace is located in a strip mall so there's parking in front. It does not have a patio and the inside of the restaurant is not very wide, buy sort of long. The atmosphere is not fantastic, but it's not bad either - pretty average. The staff is always extremely nice and I don't think I've ever gotten a wrong order whether it's eat-in or take out. The food is very good. read more
