"First time eating here in 20 years, (I think the owners have changed hands since then. Nevertheless lots of food options for vegan. Just be sure to ask them if there is any dairy or animal products (like Naan bread has egg in it . I ordered the BAIGAN BHURTA entrée. Delishous! Note- I asked the waiter if the vegetables were cooked on the same surface as their animal meat. He said no. Seems that some restaurants even though they claim her dishes vegan will still sautéed vegetables on the same grill top that they will also grilled meat on. Be sure to ask that wherever you go! Will definitely come back again and try some other dishes."

The spiciness is just right! It's really excellent, much like many other Indian restaurants in more affordable neighborhoods.

I just picked up some takeout, and it was fantastic! I can't wait to try it again soon. The restaurant was clean, and the service was excellent.

The spice levels are spot on! The food is quite good, similar to what you would find at many Indian restaurants in areas with a small minority population.

What I love most about Taj is that the menu clearly identifies what is appropriate for vegans. I don't have to ask a bunch of questions of wait staff. Also, the food is delicious! Love this place.

I did ask the waiter if the vegetables were cooked on the same surface as the meat, and he assured me they were not. I've noticed that some restaurants, even those claiming to serve vegan dishes, may still use the same grill for both vegetarian and meat items. So, it's essential to confirm these details with the staff! I will definitely be returning to try more dishes. View menu

I ordered takeout of Pakoras and Tandoor Vegetables, and both were outstanding. The Level 4 spice was just perfect for my taste. The vegetables were a great variety and cooked to perfection. The rice was fragrant and tasty enough to enjoy on its own, though I wouldn’t want to miss out on the other dishes! The only downside was that there were no vegan bread options, but I still highly recommend this place!

I've been visiting Taj Mahal for years, and I absolutely love the variety of vegan options they offer! The service is consistently excellent, and they have a lunch buffet on weekdays and Sunday evenings. However, I did hear from another vegan that the rice might have contained ghee or milk at some point, which led him to stop dining there. I spoke to the owner and the waitstaff, and they assured me that they no longer use those ingredients, but I received mixed responses. So if you're vegan, be sure to ask or let them know about your dietary needs.
