Our favorite thing to try is the samosa chaat. We have enjoyed the experience but miss their outdoor seating. The menu is very detailed. Service is usually kind, as I like to request raw chili pepper and lemon on the side to eat with my food and they try to accommodate. Compared to a few other Indian places in town, the ambiance is slightly dated. read more

When we entered the door, a bell rang our presence and someone greeted and seated us immediately. I really like that the restaurant has white table cloths on all the tables. It really gives an upscale feel to the atmosphere. Everything was going well until we received our food. I ordered chicken biryani and my husband got the chicken saag. His dish looked like a normal saag dish, but my biryani looked and tasted odd. It had an orange tint, which I have never seen prior. Mind you, I've been eating biryani since 1995. When I asked the server about the color and contents of the dish, his answer seemed to be placating me. This did NOT sit well with me. Other than that, the experience at the restaurant was ok. However, that night and the next day, the biryani showed me the reason that I had reservations about it. Both my husband and I were forced to camp out in the restroom. It was not pretty. Overall, I probably will not return to try anything else. The décor and service were ok, but the food was unpleasant. read more

It's been over 10 years since I was last here and I am mad at myself for waiting so long. This place is as amazing as I remember in all aspects, food, service and overall vibe. We ordered a ton of naan, because, lets be honest, you can never have too much naan: plain naan chilli naan garlic naan - all were fantastic but my favorite was the garlic. My entree was the Shrimp Madras (spicy red chili sauce with rice) - SO Good and full of big, plump shrimp. The employees are all so nice as well, its a great restaurant, dont be like me and wait 10 years, get your butt over here soon! read more

Always a great choice for Indian. Tried the aloo Tikki Chaat for the first time and it was absolutely delicious. Definitely getting it again next time we go! I do wish it listed on the menu what was in it. read more

Stopped in for dinner last night, it was so cold so we needed some yummy food to warm our souls and stomachs. Service was great. Food was delicious! The chicken Korma was probably my favorite. The garlic naan was perfectly cooked. The tandoor chicken was so tender! Will be back for sure. read more

The service was good at this restaurant. One of my servers even offered to transform my chicken tikka kebab dish into another one after I asked for extra sauce, thinking I didn't like it (I declined the offer). The Kashmiri naan was delicious, and I was glad to try authentic chai tea which did not have all the sweet spices of American versions. When I arrived at the restaurant, my Lyft driver and I, however, thought it looked closed from the sad exterior and lack of lighting inside. At my booth, I noticed a mirrored panel loose in the wall and another one that needed Windex. I also thought that the menu could have been more attractive and would benefit from pictures of some of the food. read more

Had a solid meal at Taj Palace. Had been craving a good Indian meal for a while and was willing to go a bit far given. Informal setting, which means it's good for family and kids. The staff is incredibly friendly and accommodating. Food was good, and we sampled a variety of Saag, Korma, and Tandoori dishes. The spice level and flavors were a bit more muted than I was expecting and used to. Tandoori chicken was also a bit dry. I really liked the Chicken korma and garlic Naan, which was superior. Generally, we left satisfied with the overall meal and atmosphere read more

We had a wonderful dining experience at Taj Palace in Kentucky. We ordered a couple of naans along with Paneer masala and korma. Everything was fresh, flavorful and beautifully presented. Our server was attentive and served everything with a smile adding to the overall experience. We enjoyed so much that we finished everything and there were no left overs. Highly recommend Taj Palace for delicious Indian food and excellent service. read more

This is the best Indian Food in Louisville. We have followed them through every move. If you are unsure what to order, go to their lunch buffet. Family owned too and they are very hospitable. I recommend sharing and getting the garlic naan, vegetable pakora, tikka massala with whatever meat you like, mixed grill and always get extra mint chutney. Enjoy! read more

Ordered carry out at the restaurant. Service was great, fast and the food was the best I have had in Louisville. Chana Masala, garlic naan, veg pokura, and veg samosas. All excellent! read more

We ordered pickup from here last night and while the people were nice. The food was not good. The aloo paratha barely had any potatoes in it and the sauces for the curries tasted premade like tomato soup. The garlic naan tasted like something you would get from trader joes. The pakoras were good and the mango lassi was good. we will probably not be back. read more

I went for the lunch buffet at Taj Palace with a friend, first time there. I hate to have to say it, but it was only mediocre. The food wasn't spicy enough, and some of it was positively bland. Lots of chicken and runny sauces, everything kinda ran together on the tongue. I also have to mention - the place isn't altogether clean. There's an unused steam table near the front door, and it looked like somebody cleaned it with ice cream. The carpet needed vacuuming in spots, and the men's room was in sore need of cleaning. There were cobwebs on the walls! I won't be going back. read more

Good food, amazing service! It's always an amazing testament to service when your water glass never hits the bottom. My husband and I are biiig water fans, and they never let us go thirsty! Not only that but they were prompt with letting us order and getting the bill. We didn't feel rushed at all, but also glad we didn't have to twiddle our thumbs and wait for the check! I really enjoyed their garlic naan, it was nice and crispy with a plethora of seasoning. I also enjoyed the potato app, I don't like chick peas however I ate the majority of them! Would def get takeout from here and use their discounts. read more

We carry out food from The Taj at least once a month. We love chicken and fish tikka masala, saag paneer (spinach with cheese), onion culcha, (delicious) and rice pudding. All entrees are served with generous portions of rice that is delicious on its own. read more

Taj Palace, imo, has the best saag paneer in Louisville, and I learned with this order that their carryout has very generous portions. I wish I liked their chicken curry as much as the saag paneer, but I found it disappointing. In a previous visit I tried the tikka masala chicken and it is as good as the saag paneer so I believe the chicken curry is an outlier dish. Their garlic naan is also good, but it's fairly standard. They were very kind when I picked up the order, and I appreciated how well balanced the carryout bag was as well. It's the little things sometimes! read more

We did take out. The food was delicious; and ready for pick up at the appointed time. They give an abundance of rice. Flavors were good, and the heat was a bit spicy. However, we will definitely return. read more

Their chicken tikka masala is absolutely incredible--perfectly spiced, rich, and creamy, with the ideal balance of flavor. We always pair it with their fresh, fluffy naan, which is just as amazing. Whether dipping the naan into the sauce or enjoying it on its own, every bite is a delight. My whole family loves this spot, and we keep coming back for more. I highly recommend Taj Palace if you're craving authentic, delicious Indian cuisine! read more

Great food, very clean! Very friendly service. Went in around lunchtime only been once would still recommend.

Finally made it to Taj after being on my list for a while. I should have waited a lot longer in this case; authentic Indian food it was not and average at best. To take nothing away from the server who was great and helpful, it was the food that did not come through. I ordered the chicken curry, medium spice with garlic naan. What initially looked good was a watery curry with little flavor. The accompanying rice was enough for three people when just one is eating. Lastly on the garlic naan, very bland and went with everything else served at what seems lower quality. Without the pandemic it seems their mainstay is buffet service not made to order. Sadly a poor experience, cannot return here again. read more

Taj Palace Indian Restaurant - a plate of rice and a bowl of curry - Indian Near Me - Louisville, Kentucky

Scrumptious!!! Portion size, taste/seasoning/spice all perfect. Service and attention was also wonderful. Loved that the plates and utensils were fine dining. Definitely will return. read more

Best Indian food in Louisville. It reminds me of the Indian takeaways I would get when I studied abroad in the UK (they're amazing there and you aren't enjoying the UK right if you don't get curry or paneer while in London). Anyway, they have tons of different types of curries from different parts of the Indian subcontinent. The food is very high quality and so flavorful. Definitely get the Naan, Vindaloo, Spinach paneer, and Punjabi Aloo. The Punjabi dishes are pretty authentic and reminded me of my friend's Punjabi relatives' homemade dishes. This place definitely satisfies. read more

The food is consistently delicious, and the staff attentive. We love Taj Palace and are longtime patrons. We've used them for special family occasions and receptions as well, and never been disappointed. Tip: if you love it really spicy, you'll need to let them know. Mild is very much so (almost no heat). But all the food has wonderful flavor, no matter the spice level. read more

Fantastic Indian food. The portions are quite large, you could almost share with another person.

Yum yum! Based on the recommended specialty of the business I ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala with Basmati rice and Garlic Naan for dinner last night for a back porch dinner. My dinner date had a lamb dish but to be honest I was so focused on my own meal that I didn't pay much attention to his *grin.* Our starter was the Paneer Afgani which was a delicious un-aged non melting cheese and mixed grilled vegetables dish with a savory white sauce and that was so satisfying it could have been a meal all itself (making for plenty of leftovers for lunch today!). With the current stay at home campaign with COVID-19 the staff at Taj Palace was wonderful about being responsive, accurate and kind on the phone taking our order and so quick being ready with our food! All ready to go for curb side pick up although delivery is also available. I have been into Taj palace in the past for dinner both buffet and table dinner and we have had such a pleasant meal with the dining staff, I am looking forward to spending more time in the restaurant with this staff! In the meantime, we will continue to happily support this local neighborhood restaurant from home. read more

We enjoyed it. The flavor bursted for minutes in our mouths. Chicken tikka masala, vegetable biryani, vegetable semosa plus a bit more. Our table became packed with foods (and a bottle of wine) within the first 15 minutes we sat down. I'd go again for sure. We do love trying new Indian restaurants so not sure if we'll go back next Indian food craving or within the next three or four. But we'll be back. read more

I like the buffet lunch! The foods were tasty with a good selection of different dishes. The price was reasonable and a nice service! Will definitely come back! read more

As you pull up you see that the outside of the building is dated but don't let that deter you. The #1 best thing here is that they have A LOT of vegetarian dishes AND they are all GLUTEN FREE! Win! (They do have Naan for those gluten bread lucky souls that can handle it with no stomach discomfort lol!) They also have meat dishes but imball about the veg ones so that was my focus. Went with my girlfriends and we each got a different dish. They also bring out the thin lentil based crackers at the beginningnwith a few chutneys but that was nothing to write home about and no yogurt based ones to help cool the spicy ones. So that's an area for improvement. Their dishes were all tasty. I ordered mine with Medium (#2) spice bit it came out spice-less. No heat at all, so I recommend a level #3 or up if you want spice. Service was pretty normal and they kept our water glasses full so yay for that! I'm going to hit a different Indian restaurant with my girlie next month. read more

Uh oh. I really wanted to like this place, consistency is a problem and with every restaurant, if you're not consistent, well.... this is what happens. Chicken Rogan Josh - Good Paneer Tikka Masala - Good Sauce is good, but thin and was separating. Lamb Vindaloo - yikes. Bland, thin sauce, lacking depth and made worse by about 3.5 ounces of lamb in a $16 takeout pint. What the fuck. This is made worse by the fact that it was poorly cooked, not slowly to the point of falling apart, but more like a chopped pork loin, tough and chewy. Lamb vindaloo should be ping-pong ball sized chunks that are falling apart. Indian food is about bold flavor. Let's see some more of that. And you'd better get back on point with your value. I get bigger and better cooked meat at Wendy's for a better price. Sorry I'm tough, but otherwise we would live in a sea of mediocrity. Overall, lots of potential, the rogan josh and tikka weren't bad, just needs bigger cuts of meat. ( Not necessarily more actual meat, but don't cut it into dog snack size bites.) Give this place a try, I've had pretty good here in previous experiences, but the final critique must include all visits, it wouldn't be fair to review otherwise. Good eating. read more

Taj Palace Indian Restaurant - I put the penny there for size comparison. This is supposed to be braised lamb... tiny, pale, tough, overpriced "meat-lettes". - Indian Near Me - Louisville, Kentucky

Very nice upscale leaning atmosphere. Wonderful food! Flavors were incredible, although I'm sad I only ordered a 2 out of 5 on the spicy scale. Our server was awesome and helped us pick great dishes. All in all, a great experience and we will definitely be back! Although it did remind me of Coldplay.... Because it was all yellow. read more

We were celebrating a friends birthday and decided Indian cuisine was what we wanted. We made a reservation the week before for 8. We were seated in our own room and place settings were already in place. There is hand sanitizer at the door and all staff were wearing masks. There were a few other diners but they were spaced out in another room. We had lots of different appetizers and my favorite was the garlic nan. I couldn't stop eating it. I got the lamb kebab for my entree and it came out sizzling hot and smelled so good. Everyone enjoyed their food and drinks. The service was great and it was good to get out with friends safely. read more

Order here for the first time on Thanksgiving night with a coupon for 25% off. We ordered vegetable pakoras, shrimp vindaloo Indian hot, bhindi bhagram (okra), galub Jamin, rice pudding. The pakoras were satisfactory, and the galub Jamin. The rice pudding was bland. But most importantly, the two entrees were bad enough that I will not return. The okra was so old and dry, almost every piece was inedible, pulling wooden veins unable to be chewed out of my mouth with every bite. I tried to sort through and salvage ANY of it, but the entire dish consisting completely of okra was totally inedible. And the shrimp vindaloo was about as hot as the okra dish even though we asked for extremely spicy Indian hot. There was no depth to it, it didn't taste like vindaloo, and it was like someone opened a can of pureed tomatoes and dumped in a little of some chili powder and then some shrimp and potatoes. There's no onion base or mustard oil base. It was essentially flavorless and like Chef Boyardee quality. Considering that this order was $60, this was not worth not going back for a second attempt read more

had been craving Indian food and our friend lives close to Taj palace. Decided to order online and And do pick up from the restaurant. My order was timely and available right when it stated it would be. It was also so well packaged. When taking Indian food to go, that is so important and appreciated. The paneer dish was very tasty and had a great spice to it. Also got plentiful rice which was very welcome because it went so well with the paneer. The combination of flavors is done really well and Taj Palace is a really great location for Indian food. I'd love to go back, order online and take it to go. However, it's also a great spot to eat in with such a central location and atmosphere. This is very authentic and I'm very thankful that we have such a solid Indian place in town. read more

The food here is very good. I think it's the best Indian food in the area. I went for a late dinner last night with my sister. The dining room feels very classy, all of the tables pre-set in a lovely and inviting way. We received great service -- 2 servers checking up on us. I always appreciate when a server checks in about how the food tastes. I got a mango lassi, which I love to get to cool the spice, although they put in some ice cubes which kinda watered it down after so long. We both got the chicken tikka masala. It was good. It's not my favorite in town but quite good. The gravy is creamy and tangy. And maybe a little too tangy for my liking? It had a little hint of sweetness/vinegar which I don't completely prefer but it's all a matter of taste. Someone else might like that. I still enjoyed it. Spice level 3 was just the right amount of spice. The garlic naan was freshly baked, you could smell the garlic and herbs and buttery flavor. If you're in the mood for Indian and you're in the area this is a convenient location and is pretty good. read more
