Taj Mahal in Dortmund

Food was excellent but everything else was quite lacking. The servers were not friendly and seemed quite bored. One of them was even seen taking personal calls while on the job. When we asked to take the food to go, they dumped both of our leftovers into one container, effectively mixing it. f you only value the quality of the food you are getting, I recommend this place but other than that it left a bit to wish for.

Fantastic food and great service! Loved the ambiance Definitely coming back

We tried Chicken Biriyani, Butter Scampi, Sweet Lassi and Salty Lassi. Chicken Biriyani was flavorful. You can get the perfect balance of spices and fresh herbs. The amount of chicken was also satisfactory. I liked the most the butter Scampi. The Lassis were so so.

Great, very good cuisine! Service could be a little faster, but very friendly and nice atmosphere. Definitely recommended!

We order often and this was the first time we were there. The food is just always great.

Great food, nice staff, good atmosphere! Prices completely okay. Thank you so much!!!!

Very pleasant atmosphere, The food was very tasty and a good amount for the price. We waited a long time but there was a lot going on. we were very at peace. It was just very fresh at the door.

Het restaurant bevindt zich in het centrum van Dortmund. De buitenkant van het restaurant is misschien niet direct uitnodigend en binnen is het erg licht, maar de gerechten die wij bestelden waren uitstekend van smaak zoals je dat van de betere indiaase restauranten gewend bent. Bediening was vriendelijk en de prijs/kwaliteit is altijd goed. Een kleine anekdote we waren op deze avond de laatste gasten die hun maaltijd geserveerd krijgen want daarna bleek het gasfornuis het begeven te hebben en konden er geen maaltijden meer bereid worden.

I fell in love with this food. The butter chicken and garlic naan with it is perfect. The service is very prompt and super nice! I can only recommend coming here, it's worth it and for a great price! 😋

Very tasty Indian food, nice service and nice ambience. Ask carefully when ordering spicy food 😉 If you are in downtown Dortmund, then it is definitely worth a visit here.

The food was very tasty. We ate there on February 1st, 2025. During our visit in the evening, the health department came by. The store is now temporarily closed. That leaves a bad aftertaste. It's a shame because the food was really delicious.

We were there spontaneously today and are more than satisfied. The price-performance ratio is great and the food tasted very, very tasty.

Super tasty food and very friendly staff. Everything is great!

Immer noch richtig gutes Essen war schon 5× da suuuuuuper essen Service ist auch richtig gut eine große Empfehlung da hin zu gehen ws ist einfach auuuu Lecker.

I had lamb palak and it was delicious. The naan with almonds was excellent, as was the lassi with mint. It was my first visit to you, but definitely not my last. Indians also eat here and if their countrymen like it, then I think that says a lot about the quality.

Very friendly service, dishes an explosion of spices, since we didn't finish everything, the food was carefully packed for us, espresso was also very tasty, pleasant atmosphere, fair prices

The best Indian in town! I've been to a lot of Indians, but none were as good as this one. I ordered number 34 the Butter Chicken, and it was just great! The food is also beautifully decorated, and if you order any Tikka dish, you get a nice show. Service was very accommodating and the ambience was excellent, especially the sofa! Always my pleasure

Been there very often. Super tasty.

The food was very tasty & the atmosphere and service were very warm and accommodating! The location is very nice and cozy for a nice evening for two. Gladly again at any time

Incredible tasty and very nice staf❤️

Very nice and nice host. I can only recommend really good food and friendly people

Very bad experience. My first bad review got blocked because someone filed defamation against my review. What a joke! Is there no freedom of giving reviews now?

The BEST original indien restaurant

Very tasty and recommended! Nice atmosphere, next to the animal gallery, very good staff. It's definitely worth it

We were there with a group of 7 people. All 7 dishes we had were delicious. The waitress was also a very friendly Indian. Only the ambience could be a little more atmospheric. The sofas are great. The lighting isn't that nice. The small size of the store doesn't bother you. But the lighting is a bit like in a snack bar. And plastic tablecloths are not my personal taste. Then I'd rather have a wooden table top that I can wipe clean. Or sets on top for a nicer look. Price-performance is great! Gladly again ! Dorothe

I left this store with love and taste explosions. Super nice people, super fresh food, everything was great, I'll be back again very tasty!

Delicious food, the Chicken Buhna Masala is perfect!

No authentic taste. Tastes like your lazy sister prepared it 😅 otherwise the ingredients seemed fresh. Nice try. More practice. I've had this before in Germany 😅

The service was very nice, the food was not recommended, the meat was definitely not fresh for the price and very little! Rice was very good but nothing more!

Only had Veg Biryani and Panner Pakora , Panner Pakora was amazing , Veg Biryani was decent enough . Great and friendly staff . Decent / Good food at acceptable prices

Absolutely amazing food is divine in love with the place great hygiene very nice and welcoming highly recommend

It seems a bit inconspicuous at first glance, but the food is really great. The service was also very nice and the prices are fair. A little insider tip!

It was really nice delicious food, specially service was excellent and All staff are well groomed and very hospitable.I wish them Good Luck👍 Best Regards Capt Sumit Singh

This is a great Indian restaurant. Very reasonably priced 4 of us paid €106, popadums, mains, beer, 2 wines, 4 waters. Recommend chicken bhuna, korma, butter chicken,, they’re happy to spice up as well. Lovely naan breads, rice automatically comes with curries. Good service too. 👍👍

Food tolerable. Service bad. Very unprofessional behaviour. They don’t even care if you didn’t like the food.

Small unassuming spot in the center of town. Very friendly staff and delicious food. Delicate (unexpected) flavors of the usual dishes. We ordered the Punjabi Dal, the Vegetarian special (with cauliflower etc.) and garlic naan. The portions are large and the prices reasonable.

Very tasty food with a wonderful atmosphere, The service and the boss, Mr. Singh, is very accommodating. We will be back definitely ! :)

Hi guys, Its not Indian taste ,not more than a joke i think its pathetic, not even a single dish has a Indian taste every meal is sweet I didn’t taste these types of meals ever.👎🏻

Everything was great and tasty! Even when we came 30 minutes before closing time, extremely friendly and nice staff. I will be coming back for that butter chicken and palak paneer !

Hervorragendes Essen! Wirklich überragend! Super Liebe Menschen! Bin auf Zufall herein und werde ganz sicher wiederkommen!!! Ich bin begeistert!

I ordered through Lieferando at 7:50 p.m., still nothing came until 8:50 p.m., after calling the restaurant I was told that the driver would be there shortly, after another 30 minutes there was still no driver, after calling again at 9:37 p.m. I was told that all orders are out... Paid and no food received!

The place is definitely not a snack bar, but somehow it doesn't really have the character of a restaurant either. So if you value a really tasty meal more than the ambience, you're in great hands here. Our food was really tasty and enough to take leftovers home with us. The prices are not cheap but not overpriced either. Judging by the quality and quantity, I say it's quite reasonable. I would like to go there again.

The food of Taj Mahal is very delicious. A very good restaurant and with very friendly service. I would like to recommend eating here.

Very nice staff and every request was responded to immediately. The food was delicious, authentic Indian food that we have never tasted before. The upscale ambience and cozy ambience was great. We recommend No. 34, the Butter Chicken, because you can choose the level of spiciness from mild to very hot. We will definitely come back. The best Indian restaurant in Dortmund!

The chairs are very, very wobbly and the food is relatively tasteless. Otherwise it is a clean shop especially the toilets.

Food is just okay. I had ordered Kebap and it wasn't even close in terms of taste of the real kebab. Then for the main dish chicken bhuna and chicken tikka both were okay and lack the authentic taste. Mango lassi was also okay. I went there for an Indian taste and couldn't had it, as I said overall it was an okay experience. Service and place has great vibes, price is reasonable as well along with the food quantity you wont leave hungry. 😃

The food there is amazing! It tastes so good and I highly recommend it! 😍👌

They are so rude and aggressive. Do not recommend. Service I would rate 0

Great food, very hospitable owner, overall a great Indian restaurant

Nice little shop with a nice atmosphere. Service was great! Fast and very friendly. The boss himself was very hospitable. Great food. Definitely worth remembering. Recommended!

Great food & ambience!! One of the best Indian restaurants in Dortmund. Definitely worth a visit!

Very tasty Indian food and friendly service.

Very nice atmosphere, delicious food, and wonderful service. I highly recommend it! :)

I ordered the dish extra spicy, but it was mild. Otherwise the food was ok. The food came relatively quickly. You can do it, but there are better options in Dortmund such as: B. Sweet Chili if you want authentic Indian food. How about offering vegetarian meat dishes with tofu as an alternative?

The staff doesn't speak any German. I asked her to recommend me something, but she didn't understand what I said. lots of rice “small addition” to the rice. The portions other than the rice were very small but tasty. Too modest food for this money

Very tasty and authentic Indian cuisine with friendly service and advice.

Lamb korma Nan Lamb Madras very good

It was very tasty and the spiciness was perfect 😁

Never had any problems, I've been ordering for a long time, everything has always been delicious. Ordered today through Wolt, first of all the food came almost cold - the rice smelled so badly of MOLD and the naan was inedible. The meal cost €25 and I waited more than 70 minutes. You can understand the waiting time, but MOLD in the food is absolutely unacceptable. DISAPPOINTED.

Great food and service located in the city center of Dortmund. The chicken tikka masala was excellent. The lightning was like a hospital

Excellent! I was there today on a Saturday evening and had been there before but today the restaurant was very full. We were lucky that we got a place today. Even though the staff had a lot to do, they were still friendly and they tried their best to do what they did. The food was great, I ordered the Chicken Biryani with Cheese Nan and it was great! We will come back. Only recommended

Super tasty and also super nice. And the ambience is very good.

Really really good Only recommended Everything perfect

Best Indian food in our region. Dal makhani is perfect 🙏🙏🙏

A nice and cozy little restaurant right in downtown Dortmund. Very tasty main courses, good vegetarian and vegan selection. We particularly liked the fresh samosa with 3 different dips. Clear recommendation also for tourists and groups of up to 8 people. We spontaneously got a large table here on Saturday evening, even though the restaurant was already busy.

A very good, small restaurant. Very good food, nice service, an all-round carefree package Thank you

To be generous it’s 3 stars, the food was very okay and edible. In German - nicht geschimpft ist genug gelocht. Also the restaurateur wasn’t much interested to check with us if the food tastes okay or good. Overall not a very go to place for Indian food in Dortmund

S’avonds na ons bezoek aan de stad waren we op zoek om iets te gaan eten en we vonden dit restaurant, we zijn vertrouwd met het eten mijn man komt uit het buurland Nepal , veel keuze uit gerechten en het fijne was dat ze vroegen of het eten mild pikant of pikant mocht zijn , ikzelf heb chicken met mango en almondsaus gegeten met rijst helemaal niet pikant en zeer lekker ook lekker naan brood en een fijne bediening

das essen war sehr lecker.mango lassi war süß und sehr fruchtig chicken lässr sich auch gut schnmecken😋

Update vom 18.0124: Ich würde ja noch mal dorthin gehen um vielleicht eine andere Erfahrung als vor 5 Jahren zu machen. Der Gastronom könnte ja auch direkt auf meine durchaus kritische Rezension antworten. Stattdessen schreibt mich Google Removals, dass der Gastronom die Echtheit meiner Rezension anzweifelt. So kann man's natürlich auch machen.... ------------ Im November flanierte ich durch die Kälte, als mir dieses indische Restaurant in einer kleinen Seitenstraße vom Westenhellweg auffiel. Es war drinnen mollig warm, und der Besitzer und seine Frau (vermute ich jetzt mal) waren sehr sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Das Essen allerdings hat mir überhaupt nicht geschmeckt. Wenn ich das erste Mal zu einem Inder gehe, bestelle ich immer Dhal. Ich liebe Dhal in sämtlichen Varianten und könnte es fast täglich essen. Und ich war schon in wirklich vielen indischen Restaurants. Aber das Dhal hier im Taj Mahal war das uninspirierteste und fadeste Dhal, das mir bislang unterkam. Der Reis schmeckte ungesalzen. Vorab gab es Papadam mit drei Dips, und der rote Dip schmeckte wie aufgehübschter Ketchup. Ich habe mich hinterher geärgert, dass ich nicht einfach zu Hause ein Schnittchen gegessen habe. Dann wäre der Abend leckerer und vor allem billiger gewesen.

Liebes Taj Mahal Team, Ich möchte mich in aller Form für meine Bewertung vom 04.11.23 bei ihnen entschuldigen. Ich wurde von meiner männlichen Begleitperson dazu verleitet. Ich habe diese Bewertungen bereits nach Veröffentlichung binnen weniger Minuten sofort gelöscht, weil ich im Unrecht wahr. Ich möchte Sie daher Recht herzlich um Entschuldigung bitten. LG Werner Roscher

I wanted to try Indian food for the first time and was treated so well. The food was fresh and warm and I enjoyed it

Interessantes Geschäftsgebaren: 6 Jahre, nachdem ich dort gegessen habe und das Essen enorm öde fand, droht das Restaurant mir über Google per Anwalt, ich möge beweisen, dass ich tatsächlich dort gegessen hätte. Als ob ich tatsächlich noch Belege aufbewahre von einem Restaurant, das bei mir keinen guten Eindruck hinterlassen hat. Sorry, aber so ein Verhalten ist ein Grund mehr, das Lokal nicht mehr zu besuchen. Update: Nachricht ist geschickt

Einer der besten Mahlzeiten die ich in dem Restaurant gegessen habe

Das beste indische Restaurant indem ich persönlich gegessen habe, Kellner nett, vielleicht hat man auch die Möglichkeit den Chef zu sehen 10/10 nur sehr oft reserviert, liegt aber auch daran das es so ein gutes Restaurant ist.

War nach 2 Monaten wieder dort und habe es wirklich vermisst alles war sehr frisch und lecker und mango Lassi ist sehr süß fruchtig würde es empfehlen mal dort zu essen.

Zu dem Zeitpunkt, hab ich mit der Bedienung halt schlechte Erfahrungen gemacht. Ob dies noch zutrifft, kann ich nicht sagen, war seit dem nicht mehr dort.

Seltsam! Warum bekomme ich nach 2 Jahren über Google eine Anwaltsdrohung wegen meines kritischen Restaurantkommentars?! Solche Maßnahmen fördern leider nicht die positive Wahrnehmung und beeinflussen meine Entscheidung, das Lokal erneut zu besuchen.

Good restaurant! Indian foods are delicious 🤤

Delicious indian food, especially the cheese chicken is highly recommended

Nun ja ich kann gerne mal über Kleinigkeiten hinweg gucken, aber wenn ich schon fast zu Tresen hingehen muss ( Laden ist sehr klein) um ein weiteres Getränk zu bekommen dann ist etwas nicht richtig. Auch das Essen war nur so geht ja ,bestellt mittelscharf aber es war garnicht scharf und außerdem schon beim servieren nur lauwarm,also in dem hart umkämpften Markt Gastro geht so was für mich nicht, gutes Geld gute Leistung!

Sehr schmackhafte typisch indische Speisen. Sehr freundlicher Service in indischem Ambiente.

Heerlijk eten, vriendelijke bediening, schappelijke prijzen. Kortom: TOP!

Ein absolut geniales Restaurant was ich nur wärmstens jedem empfehlen kann.

Sehr sauberes Restaurant und sehr leckeres Essen. Man merkt wie erfahren der Inhaber ist und wie gut er einem beraten kann wenn man nicht weiß was man essen soll. Für jeden Geschmack etwas dabei. Ich kann jedem das Chicken Tikka Masala oder das Chicken Korma empfehlen🤤

Auf Wunsch vegan machbar, komisch aber das Soße bei mir (vegan) und meinem Partner (mit Fleisch) genau die gleiche war. Leider wenig vegane Auswahl und das essen hat sehr langweilig geschmeckt, trotz mehr genannter Zutaten. Das vegane Brot wurde ohne Beschriftung in der Speisekarte mit Butter beschmiert. Schade. Personal aber sehr nett. Für den Preis sind die Portionen zu klein. Eigentlich eine gute Menge, aber hatten schon größere Töpfe für einen kleineren Preis

The environment was pretty good. The food was really good as well. The butter chicken is the best in my opinion. The Beef jhalfries is good but it was a but sweet on my taste which I don’t prefer on a beef curry. Overall I like this restaurant and I will be back again.

Sehr nette Bedienung hier. Die Schörfe der Gerichte können frei gewählt werden, was mir sehr gut gefallen hat. Das Essen war phantastisch lecker. Ich komme wieder

Bestes kulinarisches Erlebnis seit Langem. Vielen Dank :)

Very nice good food and good taste

Das Essen ist soooo lecker !!! Und super toller Service

Die leckersten Samosas! Hervorragendes und frisches Essen

Ein absolut grandioses Restaurant. Das Essen perfekt das Ambiente genauso. Das Personal sehr aufmerksam sehr zuvorkommend und sehr freundlich. Wichtig für Rollstuhlfahrer. Es gibt eine ganz kleine Kante am Eingang, eine Rollstuhltoilette ist nicht vorhanden.
