nestled in old town Utrecht one block from the canal and close to the train station, this restaurant has everything you expect from a good Indian restaurant: nice ambiance, friendly wait staff and good tasting food. tip: they have a page long list of "side dishes". These include several that in other restaurants would be classified as entrees, such as... More

We went to the Taj Mahal for some Indian cuisine during our trip. We went late afternoon when the restaurant was practically empty and the service was poor, slow, and rude. The food left much to be desired as it was very bland and not spicy. I would not recommend the restaurant to anyone looking for a great Indian meal.... More

There is not a great deal of choice for Indian food in Utrecht, but this is a good choice! Decent selection of options, but the curries were a bit underwhelming on the spice. Service was friendly but slow, but this was made up for by the accommodative nature of this popular spot! More

Tasty Indian food in a warm atmosphere in the heart of Utrecht. Choices are infinite, with a complete menu in Enligsh as well. Portions are aboundant and the Nan bread is simply delicious! A nice option for a rainy evening in Utrecht. More

My Colleagues in Utrecht office organized a dinner for me at this Restaurant and I would say that they did the right thing. The staff was good and soft spoken. The ambience was also nice. The restaurant had a good variety of spirits. We started with Kebabs which were really good being at a location outside of India. The food... More

Can be crowded, be sure to make a reservation. Food is better than in the average Indian place, the various dishes each have there own specific taste, and one order always comes in a combination of various tasteful flavors More

Nice location by the canal but the food was just average. Would look elsewhere next time. Chicken Tikka Masala was sweet. We asked for extra spicy and it was mild/medium, More
