So, when I heard/saw many months ago we were getting this Taj here in Stafford, I was excite for it to open… and waited a very long time too! Then, finally we were able to go one day for lunch, since their website said they’re open at 11AM. I went only to be disappointed to see their door saying they open at 11AM, but a hand-written sign saying they are only open for dinner, at 5PM. So, I left and came back a week later.
When I went in, they were very busy (which I find disappointing, as there is another Pakistani joint less than a mile from here, and it’s always dead, but it has great food – why not go there too?), but we were able to score a booth. The menu is large and loaded with all the dishes I like and even though there was only two of us dining, I got many things with the idea of bringing home leftovers and sharing with the family the next day.
All the food we ordered was PERFECT! It’s Punjabi style Indian, which has a LOT of carry-over flavors from Pakistani style eats, which I’m very familiar with (and love so much more than “regular” Indian food) – So I absolutely loved it! Presentation was spot-on too! They use the Thali (a tin bowl to serve food to share at the table) to plate their dishes. Their naan was INCREDIBLE! Perfectly made and a great size. We ordered is without butter (which is how you’re supposed to eat it) and uncut, so we could rip pieces to use as a “utensil” while eating each bite.
Spice levels are legit! Be sure you’re ready for what you ask them to prepare! We order a couple in “medium” and several in “spicy” and those dishes were pretty much dialed in. Service was very friendly, helpful, and sincere too.
Overall – I am so very happy this place is here as I can now get the flavors I love quicker, easier, closer! BTW – The leftovers that I shared with my family the next day were met with rave reviews as well. We’re a Pakistani family, so we are quite familiar with curries… we really enjoyed what they’re doing here and will most definitely return!
One suggestion: can you add Baigan Bharta (eggplant) to your menu?
Veggie Fritters – Good, but I know they’d be awesome if ordered there. I was able to recrisp them in the air fryer though. I thought he flavor was ok. I ended up dipping them in my butter chicken sauce since I’m not a fan of the tamarind.
The mint/green chutney wasn’t my fave. Hubby liked it but It just didn’t have any nuance to me and all I tasted was mint.
Meat Samosas were amazing. I’m so happy they offer a meat option! The flavor and texture were so good. They held their crunch better than the fritters. I will def order these again.
I got the kids butter chicken, just to get a taste of it and not have the big portion. No spice option for the kids portion, so it was mild. The flavor was ok, I thought it was a tad too sweet. The chicken was very tender (not mushy) and I was happy with it.
Hubby ordered the chicken vindaloo (med heat). I tried this one, and the med heat was def spicy, but didn’t take away from the flavor of the curry. It was so good. Good depth of flavor. Beautiful color as well. I would def try this one myself with lamb I think.
The garlic naan used lots of fresh garlic and lots of butter. I liked the texture of the naan, it’s on the softer side so it’s easier to eat the next day.
