Like a previous reviewer, we had heard good things about this restaurant, only to find that the food was on par with any indian take-out pretty much anywhere in the world. The staff were very friendly, if a little too efficient - they kept attempting to take our food plates away while we were still eating from them! We assumed... more

After reading encouraging reviews of the Taj Mahal we tried it out one Saturday night, but were rather underwhelmed. Despite most attentive service, the food was merely ok. We realise good Indian restaurants are hard to come by in California but sadly, this is not one of them. It felt like a wasted dining experience, considering how many good places... more

best Indian food so far tasted in US. Service was amazing and the staff was very courteous. don't bother going any where else. more

For some reason, South Lake Tahoe has more than its fair share of Indian restaurants. The Taj is the best of the bunch. Connected to one of the many 1960's hotels that line the Boulevard, the Taj has room for about 80 diners, though there were only about 15 there on a Saturday night in April. The menu is extensive,... more

When in SLT and in need of an Indian Dinner, you have two options. Nikkis Chaat Cafe at The Bijou Centre has the better food but The Taj Mahal has it's excellent 'Combination Dinners' - they are in fact Thalis. There are 3 on offer for around $18 to $20 - most main courses on the menu are that much... more

We went for lunch. They have a buffet or menu orders. Between the members of our party, we did both. The buffet is quite good. $9.99/person. Good variety, good flavor, and it was all of proper temp. meat: 3 chicken dishes and 1 lamb. 6-7 side dishes plus soups. The samosas off the menu were quite good; made from scratch... more

We had dinner there yesterday and it was a great experience. I had the vegetarian special, my husband the taj special, both consisted of a variety of indian dishes and we we're both totally happy with the food! The spiciness was just right! I can highly recommend the restaurant and would go back there anytime. more

Every time we eat here we leave feeling completely satisfied. Even my carnivore friends love this place! They reliably serve excellent food. Every dish we have is delicious. My Husband and I agree that Taj Mahal is the best vegetarian restaurant in South Lake Tahoe. more

This is a tiny, out-of-the-way, Indian Cuisine hole-in-the-wall - and they have fantastic food. Ok, fantastic is too subtle of a word. My family and I came out for the first time ever here to Tahoe, and chose this tiny Indian food joint randomly. Boy were we glad we did. Service was great, food was fast, and it was reasonably... more
