A word from Taj Mahal
Family style, made from scratch Indian and Pakistani cuisine. The Best in Boise and the Northwest. Everything is prepared by one chef. That chef happens to be my Mother You can expect an extensive beer selection with micro-brews, IPA"s, Porters, and international favorite. Over 40 to choose from at… any given day. You can expect food made from scratch to your liking, and entree's you won't find at your typical curry in a can Indian Diner. Expect spices to be cooked right when you order them, an extensive Vegan and Vegetarian selection. Expect a good time at an amazing location in the heart of Downtown Boise with an owner operated business. We have a lunch buffet everyday that allows for a quick lunch. If you're coming in for dinner, we hope you're not in a rush, our beers and wines are here for you to relax because the cost of home-style food is a bit longer wait time. The freshness and flavors of our dinner are meant to be savored and explored. We look forward to your visit! Continued

  • "The service was extremely slow it took around an hour to get our food. The food was decent, but not worth the wait."

  • "The food at this restaurant exceeded our expectations. We have always walked by it and wanted to try it and now we are kicking ourselves for not going there earlier. The dishes we ordered were delicious. We will be back again very soon."

  • "As this was our first Indian restaurant in Boise we had high expectations. We booked at the Taj Mahal because they were offering 1000 Open Table points. Upon arrival the restaurant was empty except for one table. They sat us right next to the TV which was loud due to the fact that the one table in the restaurant was watching it. We asked to be moved which they accommodated, however, the TV was loud in general and distracting The food was OK. The Tikka Masala was bland and spice less. I'm accustom to it being spicy but it wasn't even mild it was bland. Not sure we'll try this place out again unless I hear things have changed."

  • "The owner just took such good care of us. We felt special and all the kids (17-18 y.o.) all enjoyed the atmosphere and the food!"

  • "I couldn't wait to get back to try something new. Our Samosas were perfectly done. Truly beautiful and delicious. The sauces were enjoyable too. I don't remember the name of our main dish but it was really good. The dishes of the other guests looked and smelled fantastic!"

  • "Visited for the first time on 10-14-13 for my birthday dinner. We a party of 6. There were only a few other guests in the restaurant. The waitress was horrible. Since nobody had ever been there we had some questions about the food and she wasnt the least bit interested in answering them. The online menu prices are completely different the the menus we were given. The menus we were given were a $4-$5 price increase than online. No joke it took 1 1/2 hours to get our food! After about 45 minutes of waiting we started asking what was taking so long. Our waitress just kept saying it was coming. FINALLY our food came and only then did the owner came over and explained they had alot of to-go orders. That's all of an apology we were given."

  • "Boise has a lot of nice restaurants to pick from, but Taj Mahal is hands-down the best place for Indian food. Dishes are so rich and flavorful, and their naan is perhaps the best I've ever eaten. Wonderful service and atmosphere. Very clean and the décor is lovely. I can't wait to go back and try some more dishes!"

  • "We love Indian food, have had it many times around the world. We were really looking forward to a good ethnic meal. This wasn't it. Astoundingly bad service for starters. The kid was green, knew nothing of the food and absolutely nothing of service. We never saw him after the food was off-loaded. After we tasted it, we knew why. With an Open Table reservation we were given a table at the entrance immediately next to the break table for staff. Staff doing e-mail, talking, reading-doing everthing but actually providing service which was largely non-existent. Food was marginal, greasy, tasteless, deep fried everything. Stunningly bad overall. Avoid this place-there is a sense of "we've been here forever and this is what people want." W"

  • "Just a great place for indian and pakistani food. People are great and it is a family owned and operated business. A little gem to support."

  • "Best Indian food in town! Go now before they sell the business."
    Dined on 3/15/2013
  • "Delicious, 100% fresh made to order, authentic Indian food. This resturamt is not for you if you are in a hurry. Everything is made from scratch and prepared only after you order it. Make an evening out of it and enjoy!"
