Had the best meal of my entire month-long European vacation on the final night of my journey in this restaurant by myself! And I had a lot of Indian that month. I was also lucky enough to share a lovely conversation with the owner. I can say, wholeheartedly, that he deserves all the success in the world. And the restaurant... More

The food was very well priced and very tasty, the atmosphere in the restaurant was very nice and even though it was busy we were never waiting too long for drinks or food. Overall very tasty and would return when we come back to Amsterdam.

We had a lovely meal here. Friendly staff who speak fluent English and good range of food on the menu. Wine could have been colder but when mentioned they whisked it off and brought it back chilled. It had a very nice atmosphere.

I was with my friends at Taj and we really enjoyed the food..it was late night, still they gave us full and excellent service. I would recommend it to everyone who is around the Heart of Amsterdam (Heinekenplein). Guys you have to try their "Chicken Tandoori" or "Chicken Tikka" grill on a sizzling plate, it was served well-done and 'lekker'.... More

Reading all the five bullet TA commentaries while looking for some place to dine, we headed for this restaurant in de Pijp (nr 5 in all of Amsterdam, must be something!). While the waiter is a nice guy, you come for the food and that was not the OMG experience we expected from previous reviews. Maybe there's a new cook?... More

I think the speciality of Taj Mahal must be astroturfing given how highly reviewed this restaurant is. I've eaten at a variety of restaurants in Amsterdam over the years and while the food at Taj Mahal is tasty enough, it is also nothing above standard Indian fare. If you are in the neighborhood and want Indian food, it's a good... More
