Yippee! I convinced my boyfriend to eat indian food for the first time and since I do not know of any places in Brooklyn, we just googled and found this place. Because it was his first time, I did not order anything too complex and stuck with my usual 'safety dishes:' vegetable samosas, chicken tikka masala, vegetable korma (vegetable stew in a cream sauce), and chicken biryani. All relatively harmless for beginners. Unfortunately, Taj Mahal was just standard, in my view; nothing spectacular. We did have a slight mishap, which I won't discuss as it is nothing to write about, but the staff was consistently gracious throughout our dining experience and attended to our needs. Overall, I thought the dishes lacked the spice and vibrant kick that you expect with a mouthful of curry. But, I will say, ironically, for that reason, Taj Mahal was a good choice since I was with a first-timer. Let's just label this is the Starter indian restaurant.
