TAJ Indisches Restaurant - Dorfen in Dorfen

Ausgesprochen freundliches und aufmerksames Personal und vor allem ein hervorragendes Essen . Die Atmosphäre ist gemütlich, alles ist sehr sauber.

Food was very tasty. Staff was very friendly. Large portions so you'll definitely be full.

The Taj restaurant in Dorfen and Erding is simply outstanding. Every single detail here is not only good, but absolutely first class. The people who work here are incredibly warm and attentive. The service is remarkable – always friendly, quick and professional. The food? Simply fantastic! The quality of the food is of the highest standard and the flavors are a true feast for the senses. Every meal is prepared with great care and you can tell that passion and skill are at the heart of it. From the atmosphere to the hospitality to the dishes - everything is just great. I can fully recommend Taj and am already looking forward to my next visit! I totally love love love it. Mango lassi 💯 Dal makhani 💯 Pakodas 💯 Tomato soup 💯

Even after several years, still very tasty and very friendly staff. As in previous years, the New Year's Eve menu was also recommended.

Very tasty food at good prices. Service very attentive.

Very good food, Hospitable, very attentive service and the food can be specially seasoned upon request. Thank you for the lovely evening, it wasn't the last visit

The food tastes really great there, I can only recommend it. 😍

It was very nice and had a great atmosphere which is really great

Besuch am Dienstag, 17. Dezember abends ab 17:15 Uhr Meine heutige Bewertung wird anders sein wie üblich - sie soll ein Zeichen setzen und über die Grenzen hinaus zeigen, dass nicht alles in Stein gemeißelt sein muss und man auch Veränderungen akzeptieren muss. Danke Ashis, für Deinen Einsatz - danke Deinen Mitarbeitern und DANKE dass Wir Gast bei Dir sein durften... :-)) Das Essen war wieder geschmacklich sehr fein und lecker und der Gesamtrahmen hat von Anfang bis Ende gepasst. *********************************************************************** Es gibt einen Ort in Bayern, der heisst Dorfen, mit gut 15.000 Einwohnern, umgeben von schönen Wäldern und saftigen Wiesen. Die Menschen die hier leben sind fleißig und halten zusammen. Wenn im Ort einmal gefeiert wurde, kamen die Bürger des Ortes zu Ihrem Restaurant „Grüner Baum“ - erfreuten sich an der Gastlichkeit und hatten Spaß und gute Laune. Nach vielen Jahren aber, als der Grüne Baum, nicht mehr mit der Zeit ging, wurde dieser geschlossen und stand jahrelang als Leerstand vor Ort. 2018 kam eine indische Familie nach Dorfen, welche dort sich niederlassen wollte und dem dortigen Restaurant neues Leben einhauchen wollte. Der Inhaber Ashis, hatte große Pläne, da er zum Zeitpunkt bereits zwei weitere Restaurants in der bayerischen Umgebung besaß und auch in Dorfen, die indische Gastronomie mit seinen Speisen sesshaft machen wollte. Die Dorfener Einwohner waren mit den Plänen des Neuankömmling aber nicht einverstanden, da diese sagten, dass diese Gastronomie bisher immer in bayerischer Hand war und sie sich mit Veränderungen daher schwertun. Doch Ashis ließ sich hiervon nicht beeindrucken und baute den ehemaligen Grünen Baum um, mit dem Namen „Taj“. Taj heißt/bedeutet so viel wie Palast. Ausgesprochen wird dies wie ‚Tatsch‘. Der neue Gastronom hat das Haus grundsaniert und daraus ein schönes indisches mit teilweise bayerischen Akzenten versehen und umgebaut. Im ersten Quartal 2018 hat dann das neue indische Restaurant „Taj Dorfen“ eröffnet und beliebt sich seither leckerer indischer Speisen und gutem Service, auch wenn bis heute zahlreiche Einheimische von Dorfen dem Restaurant den Rücken zudrehen, obwohl der Inhaber, sogar den ehemaligen Schriftzug am Haus mit übernommen hat, damit er auch unter den misstrauischen Dorfenern zeigen möchte, dass er ihnen die Hand reicht und offen für andere ist…. Heute 2024 existiert das indische Restaurant immer noch großer Beliebtheit in der dortigen Region und es zeigt allen, dass man etwas wagen muss – denn wer nichts wagt, der nichts gewinnt, auch wenn es noch so viel Gegenwehr gibt, sollte man sich von seinen Träumen nicht abhalten, diese zu verwirklichen. Und die Moral von der Geschichte: Zeige anderen neue Wege auf, auch wenn diese skeptisch sind und nichts davon halten – überzeuge sie einfach vom Gegenteil...

Visit on Tuesday, December 17th evening from 5:15 p.m My assessment today will be different than usual - it is intended to set an example and show that not everything has to be set in stone and that you also have to accept changes. Thank you Ashis, for your commitment - thank you to your employees and THANK YOU for allowing us to be your guests... :-)) The food was again very tasty and tasty and the overall atmosphere was perfect from start to finish. **************************************************** ******************** There is a place in Bavaria called Dorfen, with a good 15,000 inhabitants, surrounded by beautiful forests and lush meadows. The people who live here are hardworking and stick together. Whenever there was a celebration in the town, the townspeople came to their restaurant “Grüner Baum” - enjoyed the hospitality and had fun and a good mood. But after many years, when the Green Tree no longer kept up with the times, it was closed and stood empty on site for years. In 2018, an Indian family came to Dorfen and wanted to settle there and breathe new life into the restaurant there. The owner Ashis had big plans, as he already owned two other restaurants in the Bavarian area and also wanted to establish Indian gastronomy in Dorfen with his dishes. However, the residents of Dorfen did not agree with the newcomer's plans because they said that this restaurant had always been in Bavarian hands and that they therefore found it difficult to accept changes. But Ashis was not impressed by this and rebuilt the former Green Tree, renaming it “Taj”. Taj means something like palace. This is pronounced like 'Tatsch'. The new restaurateur completely renovated the house and converted it into a beautiful Indian restaurant with some Bavarian accents. The new Indian restaurant “Taj Dorfen” opened in the first quarter of 2018 and has since become popular for its delicious Indian food and good service, even though to this day many Dorfen locals are turning their backs on the restaurant, even though the owner even has the former lettering on the house took over so that he would also like to show the suspicious villagers that he extends his hand to them and is open to others... Today, in 2024, the Indian restaurant is still very popular in the local region and it shows everyone that you have to dare - because if you don't dare, you won't gain anything, no matter how much opposition there is, you shouldn't give up on your dreams prevent this from being realized. And the moral of the story: Show others new ways, even if they are skeptical and don't think anything of it - just convince them of the opposite...

Simply fantastic, whether in Dorfen or Erding. It tastes really good, the people are really friendly and the atmosphere is just fantastic. You immediately feel at home and even in the toilet there is a feel-good atmosphere.

Very good food and good service

We had lunch on Christmas Day with 14 people. The service was very courteous and the food was excellently seasoned. We felt very comfortable.

Very tasty food, the meat was extremely tender, the sauce was very tasty and despite the restaurant being full, the service was very friendly and courteous without being intrusive in any way

super delicious food and very nice staff! the best Indian in the whole county!

Very good food. Very good value for money in my opinion. Staff very friendly and accommodating. We'd love to come back!

Very good Indian cuisine, courteous waiters and there was even a gift bag with wine and sweets for the guests! Absolutely recommended!

Full marks, but absolutely justified. Pakora still juicy and not soaked in fat. Large portions and every dish actually tastes different. Dessert on the house - carrots, pistachios and butter clarified. Never gotten it anywhere else. Friendly hosts, not an exaggerated atmosphere and everything was clean. Absolutely recommended. We were guests for the first time and will be back.

Very nice and courteous service. We were served quickly and the food was there within 10 minutes, which is really quick. In the meantime, people kept asking if everything was okay, which was very friendly and not intrusive at the same time. Food was very tasty especially for a very fair price. Always happy to go there.

The best thing I've experienced. 92 DalMakni

Very tasty and authentic food. Fast and friendly service. Very friendly farewell. Gladly again☺️ Thanks for the mango shots😊

Food always tastes great, I love K10 and K6 and 134. Friendly staff and always accommodating, thank you very much

The food was very tasty, keep it up! 5 stars. :(

Really good food, really nice birthday gesture with a little table fireworks!!

Unfortunately the tables are very close together

I was here for the first time today. The owner works in service himself and is very attentive. The restaurant is very clean, everything is sparkling clean. The food is very authentic and really delicious. Many restaurateurs should learn a lesson from here. The owner really works with a lot of heart ❤️ Thank you very much for the great stay. We'd love to come back

I had the pleasure of dining at this Indian restaurant and all I can say is that it was a wonderful experience. The food was simply delicious – the flavors were vibrant and authentic, and every bite was a delight. I would particularly like to emphasize the cleanliness of the restaurant. Everything was impeccably maintained which made the dining experience even more enjoyable. The service was also outstanding. The boss was extremely attentive and took care of our needs without being intrusive. You can tell that hospitality is valued here. All in all, I highly recommend this restaurant. Here you not only get excellent food, but also excellent service in a clean and welcoming atmosphere!

Absolutely fantastic hospitality. Delicious food. The rice served with the meal smelled so delicious. I can highly recommend the “Mushroom Muter”! Gladly again!

Super nice staff, delicious food, nice ambience, clean medical facilities, excellent service

An absolutely amazing restaurant! I've been to many Indian restaurants but none were as good as this one. The service is very polite and attentive and a wonderful atmosphere. A great experience was when the boss brought me ice cream for my birthday with a fire fountain and Happy Birthday was played in the restaurant!

Everything is right here! The food would be the best if the service wasn't almost even better - friendly, personal, simply good 👌🏻 The location is also great: clean, nice and kitschy and well thought out (deodorant, hand cream, perfume, etc. in the toilets). We just moved here and will definitely be regular guests if it stays like this ❤️

Friendly, courteous, warm service, original Indian atmosphere with loving details, incredible taste! Simply great👍👍

Went to the TAJ in Dorfen for the first time and it was really delicious and everything was perfect. Waiters are very friendly and accommodating. Would go back at any time.

The food there is really great and not too expensive👍👍 The waiters are super nice, the atmosphere is great. Easy to find. Parking spaces are right in front of it.

Good Indian ambience, very clean and cozy. Friendly service with excellent food.

Well stocked Indian restaurant!!!

Great restaurant with great food. Very nice and generous boss, I can only recommend him.

A great evening with super nice staff, the food was fantastic. We'll definitely be back.

Very tasty food and nice service

Great service, good food and pleasant atmosphere. Always my pleasure.

Excellent Indian food. Very stylish Indian decor. Lots of staff and attentive service.

Have been coming here for years and have always looked forward to coming back but tonight was awefull. The waiter was just plain rude, rushing us through the evening, coming back every 2 minutes when we asked for time to enjoy a drink and catch up with friends before ordering, trying to remove food we had not finished and clearing the table whilst some were still eating. To make it truely memorable my Mutton Kashmiri was like chewing an old boot. Definitely off my recommended list. Sad but true. Goodbye.

We enjoy visiting Indian restaurants around Munich with our colleagues. In my opinion, this one is currently one of the best in the area. I would describe the card as standard. The quality speaks for itself.

Very nice place and staff. The food is varied and good. We got free treats from the house at the beginning and the end.

Ich hatte für meinen Geburtstag ein indisches Catering vom TAJ Dorfen bestellt. Professionell und mit viel Liebe wurde das Buffet vorbereitet. Meine Gäste waren alle begeistert von der Qualität des Essens. Alle Gerichte sind auch vegan zu haben. Bislang das beste indische Essen, das ich genießen durfte.

Delicious food, tastes like a dream. And very attentive service staff. Great beer garden! We'd love to come back.

Food and service absolutely top. Everyone is very concerned about the well-being of the guests. We love coming back again and again.

Super delicious food, you think you are in India

Perfectly prepared food. Advice on ordering would be welcome. Great service always helpful and friendly waiters. Thank you Team TAJ for the pleasant stay. I always like to come back and take away more often 😀

Das Essen ist hir sehr gut und die Bedienung ist sehr nett und wir konnten sehr schnell Essen. Lecker! Preise sind normal

Very nicely decorated. Delicious food. Large portions. Dedicated staff.

Very nice dear team. Food was super delicious 😋

Nice atmosphere, food highly recommended. Always my pleasure!

Excellent food, very friendly service

Good food, nice staff, nice beer garden, clean toilet with great accessories I felt very comfortable there

My absolute favorite restaurant 😊 Food is fantastic and so is the service. Courteous, child-friendly and always top.

This Indian restaurant is really recommended. There were 10 people registered, everything went wonderfully, food came very quickly and everyone tasted fantastic, great service. Sat in the garden, which is very lovingly designed with lots of flowers. The road passing by wasn't a problem. Gladly again. (July 24)

Had catering for my wife's birthday here and it was great!! Great food, great help and an all around lovely evening that ended without the hassle of washing up. Absolutely thumbs up!

Zweifellos Das beste essen, Das ich in letzer zeit hatte! Sie verwenden die frischesten zutaten und stellen sicher, dass jedes gericht richtig zubereitet wird. Das Mango Chicken und kadhai Ghost war besonders unvergesslich unbedinght probieren!! ☺️😍

If you are foodie like me, you will love this place, The menu has a fantastic selection of dishes, and we loved everything we tried especially chicken Masada and mango chicken. We only had good comments about the food, I can't wait to come back again.

The food here is absolutely delicious! Every dish we tried was full of flavor and cooked to perfection. I can highly recommend soya tikka masala and veggie grill.”

Awful!!! Never had such a bad Indian meal before. I relied on the reviews. Mass processing, you hang 15 cm away at the next table, understand every word... awesome... the main thing is that there are plenty of seats... I praise our Indians in Landshut... they really taste very, very good!!!

Awesome service, good food and friendly environment.

We recommend! Great service, super tasty!

The sun rises. The visit to the Taj last week was balm for body and soul. The service is very friendly and attentive, but also reserved. The food great. Especially the chai and okra. You just feel comfortable and can enjoy.

A very good restaurant with Indian food. The team has created a good restaurant with a nice ambience from the former Green Tree. The food is good to very good, the drinks menu and the menu are outstanding in terms of what they offer. The prices are absolutely reasonable and are based on the local prices for a meal. In my opinion The best feature of this Indian restaurant is the very good rice served with all dishes. The staff is very friendly, greets everyone personally in the entrance area and is helpful in all matters. Food is explained very well.

Delicious food and friendly service! Gladly again

Everything was great from start to finish! Great food! Super Service!!! Chicken Masalla is great!

The Taj is our favorite Indian restaurant, first class service, a beautiful ambience and excellent, authentic food and all at a fair price. Every guest is served free papadum with different sauces before the meal; there is usually an aperitif, as well as a liqueur or a small dessert. The large selection of dishes (including vegetarian ones) leaves nothing to be desired and the chef has a gift for giving each dish his own touch with fine spices. In the warm season you can enjoy eating under the trees outside. Although the road is not too far away, we still feel comfortable. The waiters are courteous, friendly and yet not intrusive.

In the meantime we were there for the fifth time. Friendliness - top, food - great. We will come back.

Food and service was great. We'd love to come back!

Best Indian food, ambience etc. in the whole area!

Even though I only ate a little something while passing through, it was tasty and the service was very nice. Next time I will take more time.

Amazing food.Truely Authentic indian.

Amazing place must visit, the staff is lovely and the service is amazing the food tests great

For my wife's birthday, we decided at short notice to have a family dinner together at the Taj. Although we called spontaneously, we were offered an extremely attractive table, which was lovingly decorated with rose petals. The food and service were excellent as always! At the end we were surprised with a sparkler and mango cream for the whole family! Thank you very much for a successful evening! We always like to return to the Taj to spend a lovely evening!

Good food, good service you can't complain, very good mango liqueur

As always, great service. The food is of very high quality and tastes super delicious! We feel totally comfortable every time we visit! Always a pleasure ☺️ You do a great job!

The decoration is beautiful. The food was always really tasty and the service was also very accommodating. I recommend it to anyone

Food and service was great. We'd love to come back!

Brutally personable owner, very generous and customer-oriented. Great food and always fresh.

Everything great . Food is super delicious. Best service, always happy again!!

Really great Indian! Both for eating in the restaurant and for ordering. The small outdoor area is very cozy. The quality is always of the best and the service is courteous and professional. We always enjoy eating here!

On Saturday after the game against Raubling, TSV Dorfen Football was supplied with wonderful food for 50 people by the boys from the Taj Restaurant in Dorfen. The dishes were excellent and everything was eaten down to the last grain of rice. Thank you again for the great service and especially for the great food. We will definitely order again! Many greetings from the boys from TSV

My wife and I enjoyed a fantastic evening at your restaurant. The food was delicious and the selection on the menu was varied. The staff and the owner were extremely friendly and attentive, which made our stay even more pleasant. The atmosphere in the restaurant was very cozy and inviting. We will definitely recommend your restaurant and look forward to our next visit!

Today we had lunch with ten people at the Taj Dorfen on the occasion of my mother's 83rd birthday. The food was excellent, everyone enjoyed it very much, including starters and desserts. The service was excellent and the staff very attentive. The table was lovingly decorated with flower petals and there was even a surprise for my mother for her birthday (on the house's own initiative). Definitely a perfect place for a meal on a special occasion! (But I also go there for lunch from time to time during the week, which is great too). Many thanks to the Taj team!

A wonderful culinary evening, wonderfully attentive staff

Fantastic. The bast. Mango schnapps subba

Very great restaurant, would love to come back

Food and service is really great! Celebrated my birthday here. They were extremely friendly. :) would love to come back

Food was very good. Service quick and friendly. Highly recommended

Excellent food, always attentive service, constant staff (which is always a good sign) - in short, just great there.

Very tasty, friendly service, atmosphere is good, highly recommended

sehr kleine Portionen, nicht zum satt werden, dafür zu teuer, auch geschmacklich nicht überzeugend, ein paar Einheitssaucen mit 3 würfelgroßen Fleischklumpen, Gemüsebeilagen im Mikroformat; was mich aber besonders gestört hat ist, dass meine Tochter fast genötigt wurde, eine gute rezension unmittelbar mit ihrem Smartphone zu schreiben! Nicht zu empfehlen!

Great restaurant. We actually get Indian food there almost once a week and are always very satisfied. You feel welcome there, the service is very friendly and you sometimes get a chai on the house if you're waiting. We recommend.

Great food, very friendly staff and all at really good value for money. Even a delicious non-alcoholic alternative to the “schnapps afterwards” was offered without being asked. The only thing that was a bit disturbing was the sound of the fire alarm going off several times an hour.

I spent two longer periods in India myself. Very authentic and delicious. Definitely worth it! Tip: If you like it very spicy, you should also say so, because they can do that :) Tip to the tip: If it's too spicy, order the yogurt dip 😇

I love this Indian restaurant! Great selection of Indian food and drinks and very nice, accommodating staff. When the boss is there (he has two other restaurants in Erding and Grünwald) he personally asks at the table whether everything is okay. The food is typically Indian and really tasty!!! The decor in the restaurant is typically Indian, warm and very comfortable.

Were there for the first time! It won't be the last time we visit Dorfen. Price/performance top. Taste a poem. Service very accommodating. We felt good and definitely went home full of delicious food and happy!

Addendum 01/24: still top and consistently good after four years. Not once disappointed and have probably been there 30 times. Something like that rarely happens. I love Indian and I know many, many other Indian restaurants. Consistently good performance for over three years.
