But the real test is when you walk in and taste. This restaurant has ruined me for life. The best food all the way around!! Thank you. I have not been there in 16 years. One day soon.

We were a bit disappointed today to learn that the lunch buffet is now only offered Friday through Sunday, but we understand that was likely a necessary business decision and respect that. We both ordered combo lunch meals (Madras vegetables and tikka masala). It was a generous amount of food and delicious as always. We boxed up the leftovers and have enough for both of us for lunch again tomorrow. The staff were courteous and attentive. There were several other tables enjoying lunch.

I had in my head that this was a place where you could get a nice combo platter, but that's apparently only for lunch, so I had to pick one dish. I was quite happy with my selection though, with their interpretation of daal being a hearty, thick, if overly salty stew noticeably different in taste and texture than the Indian version I so often eat. It did not come with rice, but perhaps that was not so bad as ordering a naan turned out to be well worth it. A gigantic bread, it was delightfully charred on the outside and soft on the inside, and was just about right for mopping up a full plate of lentils. Adding a chai resulted in a cardamom-flavored beverage that wasn't particularly sweet. There were plenty of vegetarian selections that looked worthwhile based on what other tables ordered. I still wish I'd been able to sample more, but I was happy with what I got, and indeed I can't recall an Afghan restaurant I've been to with better-executed vegetarian dishes.

I have gotta say, I read the 1 star reviews and I cant disagree more. The only one I can kind of…read moreunderstand is the little amount of meat. However, Americans eat a lot of meat, most countries do not eat that much, especially non-western. Authentic Indian food isnt giant portions of meat held together by a bit of gravy. The server we had was so nice, we had a nice conversation about dollywood and other things (because I kept talking) she recommended the dishes that are popular and answered questions I had about some of the more authentic vegetarian dishes. I got the onion bhaji(?) Garlic naan, lamb tandoori, and a paneer and pea dish. The naan wasnt the best but everything else was better than I expected in a small town in the middle of Tennessee. It could have been slightly more authentic, but then people would be complaining about that, too. If you like Indian, understand international cuisines, and are tired of eating heavy diner/steakhouse/mediocre barbecue, then absolutely go here. It was delicious.

An absolute peach of a restaurant and probably the best Indian restaurant in this entire region,…read morenow that several others have shut down completely and started getting bad ratings. The dishes are extremely super expensive for the quantity although everything tastes great and perfect. THE FOOD: We went in for lunch on consecutive days and tried out different items. We had Naan, Roti, Paneer Butter Masala, Veg Starters platter, Methi Mutter Paneer. Everything tasted so good. Everything costs ~ $20 as well and the breads were at $~$6 each. All of them tasted good and no issues. The starter platter was the pick although the quantity was very less for that price point again. Next day we tried Idly, Paneer Biryani and guess what the Paneer Biryani was so delicious and with mild spice it was perfect. It was well cooked and not much of random masala that will make the rest of your day bad. It came with a thick raitha which was decent in quantity. The Idly were a quick filler and Sambar was decent again. The price is the biggest concern here. I just hope they address it. SERVICE & AMBIENCE: The restaurant was not so crowded by the time we went and staffs were courteous. Although not sure how they jumped into conclusion that every Indian who visits them speaks Hindi, and they start to converse without even asking if we understand. That behavior was kinda off. But the service was quick. We didn't wait much. The ambience was good as well. Clean toilets. BOTTOMLINE: A great restaurant if you are visiting Gatlinburg, Smoky mountains and the surroundings and craving for warm and appetizing Indian food. Very pricey for the quantity so plan your meal accordingly. Great service and setting. Would visit again! MY PICKS FOR YOU: Paneer Biryani, Veg Starter Platter

So... For a few years my wife and I would frequent, "Bambay Palace" in Turkey Creek. Then one day…read moreas we were going to order delivery, we realized it had changed name and management. To be honest, I kinda lost interest. I'm a creature of habit, and when I noticed our "go to" Indian food restaurant had changed name and management, I lost interest. Then last night, I again looked for a local Indian food restaurant that delivered because I LOVE INDIAN FOOD!! Sadly, my wife not so much. But that's another story lol.. So I got on my Yelp app and up pops Taj Indian Bistro. I checked the menu, had my wife have a look, and she found a dish that she thought she might like. And for whatever reason, DoorDash delivery was offering free delivery, so I thought "what the heck" I'll give them a shot. I have to say, I was skeptical about a few things on their menu. Do they serve dishes with rice? Or do I have to add it to the order? Are the portions small? None of those questions were answered in the delivery menu. But I gave all of the above a shot. Then: THE FOOD WE ORDERED WAS EXCELLENT! Of course rice was included. The Onion bhaji was amazing and almost too big of an order for one person! The Garlic Naan bread was perfect, and our main course dishes were TOP NOTCH (my wife didn't care for hers, typical.) After her mentioning that "It's Ok..) I tried it and it WAS ALSO DELICIOUS !! If I had anything negative to add, it was DoorDash. I personally HATE delivery services. They're all a major ripoff. But Taj is my new favorite Indian restaurant. We'll dine in next time.

The issue I had was that there were very few pieces of chicken and no vegetables, so basically $18 for basmati rice, sauce, and a few pieces of protein is a tough sell. These folks know how to cook Indian flavors though!
