TAJ MAHAL Indisches Spezialitätenrestaurant in Merseburg

So the ambience looks good, we ordered a table for a certain time, whereupon we were left standing in front of the door for 20 minutes, after these 20 minutes there was finally a table. After we sat at the table nothing happened, neither could we order drinks nor did anyone bring over a menu! After another 15 minutes we decided "we're leaving" so I won't recommend this restaurant because the service leaves a lot to be desired...!!!

First the positive. The food was super tasty and really great for the price. There's absolutely nothing you can say. The mango lassi also had a lot of spices, as it should be, but unfortunately you definitely don't get it from every Indian. The ambience itself is actually nice, where we come to the negative. We ordered a table for 2 people a few days in advance. When we arrived there was only one table occupied, so you would have had a free choice of seats. But what are you doing with us? We sit down at a table for four, which we pull apart so that we have two tables of two, 5cm apart. My friend asked if there wasn't another table for two we could sit at and was just looked at strangely. Nobody reacted. I then asked if anyone else would be seated at the neighboring table (5cm away), and was told "Definitely not at the moment", so we stayed seated there. In the meantime, a lot of couples came in without a reservation and were seated at a table for four without complaining, which wasn't pulled apart. Why didn't that work for us? We have made a special reservation! It didn't take 10 minutes until our neighboring table (5cm away!) was occupied and from now on we were basically sitting at the table with a strange couple. All! Those who came in without a reservation were given a table for four. So I'm wondering why they couldn't put us there? To be honest, we felt a bit ripped off and don't know whether we'll come back again after this event. What I also didn't find particularly inviting was our tablecloth, which already had several stains when we sat down. Looked like they hadn't been replaced in 3 days.

Very nice staff, food always delicious.

Yes definitely. We have been to the restaurant several times. We were always served in a friendly and polite manner. The food we ordered arrives very quickly, and the time until then is bridged with a small snack of flatbread with various sauces. We'd love to come back.

Muy bonita vista, hermoso lugar y el servicio y la comida es excelente. comida súper deliciosa ❤️🥰 y el pollo con chile es muy sabroso

A super restaurant .....very, very tasty, you can only give full marks here ....be sure to order the table, it's very full, you can see that it's very popular .....we'll definitely be back

I ordered here, but was only partially impressed. The taste was nowhere near as good as other Indians.

Top food, inexpensive, great service and therefore always full. Be sure to reserve. Lots of lamb and chicken dishes, only a few of which are spicy and when they are, it is labeled. A real recommendation!

Very disappointed, ordered Rogan josh found it bland, failed spices, rice was over boiled.

Excelente servicio, pero me pareció que la comida sosa no sabe nada como el plato real. Rogan Josh. Decepcionado como estaba de entender que el restaurante era bueno

Schönes Ambiente, große Menü-Auswahl. Freundliche Bedienung. Alle bekamen zeitgleich ihr Essen -Chapeau- bei einer 20 Personen Gruppe! Topp Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis und geschmeckt hat es auch. Ein Punkt Abzug für zeitweises Frösteln durch Zugluft.

Delicious food, friendly service

We have been eating at the Taj Mahal for many years and it always tastes great. We always like to come back.

Ate here for the first time today: Very tasty and absolutely reasonable in terms of price. We will definitely come back here.

Best Indian food in Merseburg. We have been regular customers for years. Of course, mistakes sometimes happen, but that is normal and can be communicated.

The food was great, but the air was very stuffy and we had to wait 1:15 (!) hours for the food.

Nice restaurant with good food, quick service and acceptable prices. A bit noisy because it was very busy.

Very cozy. Very nice service. The food is really delicious and we felt completely comfortable. Very happy again 😀

We've been going here on and off for 2 years now and the quality hasn't changed since then. The dishes are always sufficient and very tasty. Ambience is typical. Furniture is a bit old.

Nice, tasty and good value for money.

Very tasty food, the menu is huge and varied. Very attentive and friendly service staff. The menu also offers a wide selection of vegan and vegetarian dishes. We'll definitely be back!

The best restaurant in Merseburg... according to self-promotion. I can't rate that, at least highly recommended if you want good Indian food. Food from different areas of India, spicy to extra hot, deliciously prepared and attractively served. Comfortable to sit on, even on the outside terrace.

There are lunch dishes that are reasonable in terms of price-performance ratio. The dish was okay. The second person had a starter plate which was unfortunately a huge disappointment. The diverse selection of dishes included fried and rather old-tasting mixes, some of which were indefinable. There were two shrimps. Everything tasted the same, dry and quite old. Unfortunately, the dips that were served with it couldn't pull it off either. They were the run-of-the-mill dips that always come to the table in silver bowls and not really tasty. The service was very nice.

It was very tasty Indian food The ambience may be a bit dated but that doesn't detract from the taste experience Gladly again

We were there again at short notice on Friday, we were warmly welcomed and quickly provided with drinks. The starters were delicious and the main course didn't take long to arrive. Ordering more rice after our pot was empty was no problem at all. As always, the food was flawless and the spiciness was also pleasant. We always enjoy coming back and our next time won't be long in coming.

After the unsuccessful search for a St. Martin's goose meal in Merseburg's old town, I strolled through the streets and was captured by the Taj Mahal. Indian spices are known to increase the appetite, which unfortunately I've lost more of these at the moment. I was warmly welcomed and given a table straight away. The restaurant was busy, even though it was a weekday. That speaks for itself. I could read on the map that the Taj Mahal has existed at this location for 20 years. From the outside there is definitely a palace-like impression. You can tell that the restaurant is well organized and professional. The menu included dishes typical of Indian cuisine, which were available in European mild and spicy versions. I also found the explanation of how the typical Indian spices work very nice. When it comes to drinks, you could always find an Indian version in addition to the local ones. I tried the Indian white wine, which of course also had a hint of spice. For the main course there was Papadam, a thin crispbread-like bread made from legume flour, pepper and cumin. Plus three spicy sauces. My favorite is the yogurt sauce with mint. The main course was well prepared and tasty and in a portion that was manageable even for women. The tables were set with new tablecloths after each guest. The price-performance ratio was absolutely balanced. I ate with appetite and spent a lovely evening here. All in all: recommended

Great selection of vegetarian and vegan dishes! Great selection of drinks - leaves nothing to be desired! Great atmosphere and super friendly service. Thank you and see you next time!

The food may be expensive, but it can be said that the taste of the dishes is the same everywhere

Good value for money and great food would be happy again

the best Indian in Saxony-Anhalt. The food was super delicious, every curry is highly recommended. Lassi and cocktails are top. The location in the middle of the city in the pretty pavilion is practical. park right in front of the door. and the team is friendly, accommodating. Price performance very good.

My first visit to the Taj Mahal, I am absolutely thrilled. Food is excellent, great price. Very friendly staff. Absolutely recommended, 1A +++++++++

A spontaneous dinner at this restaurant. We really liked the food and the service and would definitely recommend it.

Food was delicious, service was quick and courteous, ambience could use a kick, otherwise everything was OK.

It was my first time eating Indian food and I was skeptical but the food was really delicious. It convinced me. I've never eaten such juicy chicken before. Plus the ambience and friendly service. I'd love to come back.

Unfortunately we had to wait a long time for the food, there were other (larger) tables that came after us and ate before us. Unfortunately it was a shame. I wasn't entirely sure whether I had gotten "my" dish because I couldn't see or taste some of the very distinctive ingredients. Even though I felt like I was allowed to look for some of the ingredients, it was tasty. Due to the small dining room, the distribution of the tables seemed a little chaotic over the course of the evening, it became increasingly difficult to find your place and you were almost stuck in people's food while you maneuvered past each other - but I also think that the cut Building makes it difficult to distribute tables quickly and sensibly (due to the high number of guests).

An indescribable evening with the most delicious food! Thanks for that!

Highly recommended - very friendly service, great food, generous portions, nice central location.

You didn't dissapoint. The food was really good!

Food is really great But you really wait forever for it... Drinks also take a long time and are usually not really cold

Beautiful Indian restaurant in a very good location with a great view of the city of Merseburg. Very courteous and nice staff. Eating is quick and tastes very tasty.

Today it was really catastrophic, the restaurant was way too warm, you constantly had to get some fresh air. The lamb was dry and we had a stomach ache after eating it, the complete opposite of the last visit.

Great restaurant with very friendly staff. I absolutely loved the food. There was absolutely nothing to complain about. Price/performance ratio top. Waiting time completely ok. A visit is highly recommended!

Real Indian food and real Indian restaurants. Vary rare in Europe find a Real Indian restaurant.

The food is delicious and the service staff are very friendly

The food and service are very good. Although I didn't really want to try Indian dishes at first, after visiting here several times, I'm already somewhat impressed. Can really be highly recommended.

First-class food in the center of Merseburg, you can truly say the best Indian restaurant in the area, I haven't found a better one so far. There's nothing left to be desired in terms of cuisine, it's best to see for yourself. Price/performance is extremely good here!

Delicious Indian food. The dishes are reasonably priced and after eating them you didn't feel as bloated and full as in other Indian restaurants. Highly recommended. Nice terrace facing the church.

Nice restaurant, with great food and well presented. I always enjoy coming here. Keep it up.

Food very good. Unfortunately I can't tolerate Indian spices! But the staff is really friendly and the restaurant is clean and cozy!

Good restaurant. Friendly service, good food and drinks, nice atmosphere.

We have eaten at the Taj Mahal many times and it is always a pleasure. Even the vegan dishes are now specially labeled, which was the finishing touch for us. Sometimes it takes longer when it's busy, but it's definitely worth the wait! I could bathe in Allu Gobi Vegan and I can't get enough of it! Best where there is!!

As always, excellent and delicious food and always very friendly staff. Highly recommended!!

Great restaurant in the center of Merseburg

Very nice restaurant, centrally located in Merseburg. Indian ambience (as far as I can tell), attentive, quick service. I like coming here. It is also inexpensive.

Food good, service friendly, ambience okay.

On our way to the Czech Republic, we spent the night in Merseburg and ate at Taj Mahal. Very tasty food and for a good price!

Everyone will find something on the extensive menu, and vegetarians are not forgotten either. I was quite happy with my lamb curry and so was my partner with her cauliflower curry. We liked the place on the outside terrace and together with the non-alcoholic cocktail it was a successful evening.

Delicious. We'd love to come back. 👍

Mega delicious food, great service...it's not without reason that it's the best restaurant in Merseburg ❤️

I can recommend it for fans of Indian cuisine, you just need to have a little patience when waiting for the food.

Food is perfectly okay and the prices are reasonable. We had very good pakora, a bathura that was unfortunately a bit too limp and two good main courses. Everything came quickly and the service was very friendly. The seats outside were shaded and quiet enough, only smokers at the neighboring tables and the cars on the street, which was only moderately nice, spoiled the quality of the stay.

Everything was great, some restaurants could learn a lesson from it and would be happy to come back.

I've eaten there several times in the last few weeks and it was very tasty. The service is nice and very fast.

Today we spontaneously ended our beautiful day in the Taj Mahal. The service was super friendly and quick. The food was delicious as always. Everything perfect. Many greetings to the nice waitress, who always briefly informed us about the European Football Championship status ;)

It was very very tasty. Thank you.

Very cozy. Nice service. Food delicious. Good price-performance ratio.

Delicious. We'd love to come back

What else can I say. 5 stars are still not enough. Simply great, price, performance and ambience hard to beat. Proof that it works. We'd love to come back. Thank you for everything. Continued success

Wir haben hier angenehm auf der Terrasse gesessen, die Bedienung war sehr nett und aufmerksam. Vorab gab es sehr leckeres Papadam, der Lassi war richtig gut. Das Essen (Mutton Karahi und Murg Channa) bestand aus reichlich frischen Zutaten und zartem Fleisch. Weniger gut fanden wir, dass alles nur schwach gewürzt war - die von uns so geliebte Geschmacksexplosion exotischer Gewürze beim Inder blieb hier fast völlig aus. Dennoch ein sehr empfehlenswertes Restaurant mit fairen Preisen.

Very friendly service, clean. The food tastes good. We will definitely go there again, it is highly recommended.

Nice restaurant with delicious food. Highly recommended 😊

Heaven on earth, coupled with very attentive service and more than acceptable prices. Authentically seasoned and, especially for me, the vegetarian and vegan dish is simply delicious. Medium spicy is also exactly what we Europeans expect. Mango Lassie with Channa Massala and then a mango cream. Perfect!

The chai has no spices, is watered down and was served without sugar.

Very tasty food. Operation and service is great. We've been there several times and can always recommend it.

Nice & quiet atmosphere, friendly service, aromatic food, hardly any waiting time, portion size just right, not too overloaded. The only thing I would have liked for the Mango Lassi was that it only consisted of natural ingredients.

Rarely have I eaten such delicious Indian food!!!! Well visited. Many options. Good portion size. It's a shame that a waiter didn't understand us very well when an Indian rum was ordered and asked for the bill.

I ordered butter murg it would be really delicious 😋 one of the best experience of my life. and I can prefer to try it once🤩

Everything nice. Always delicious.

Food is good but nothing special. Service and atmosphere rather average.

Very good 👍. Good prices, great service and large portions. Very large selection and super tasty.

Very tasty food very quickly and great service. Gladly again 👍🏻

Pleasant environment, fast service, wonderful aromas and tastes.

The absolute blast! The food is fantastic, the place is cozy and the service is very pleasant.

Pretty much the best Indian food in a large area. However, the "very spicy" dishes are only spicy according to German standards, so not really traditionally Indian spicy.

It was my first time eating Indian food and I had my reservations because I don't like curry. There is a large selection of dishes and I tried the number 40 and was thrilled. Price-performance ratio is okay.

The food was ok, but the supposedly homemade lemonade that cost over €7 wasn't at all. (I can imagine it was from a can) It's a shame.....it's not that difficult to squeeze juice, even if it is from a can, you can't take 7 euros for it. Pretty small portions

A really nice restaurant. Service was great and there was little waiting time for the food. Food was very plentiful and simply delicious.

We have been there many times, ordered or picked up ourselves. The price-performance ratio is great. We really like the food and the portion size is also very good. We've also had a pickup where something was missing and a solution was easily found. Only recommended!

CLEAR RECOMMENDATION! We often go out for Indian food and have to admit that Taj Mahal has just become our No. 1. The dal was fantastic, the nans are really generous and tasty compared to the competition. There is also something to nibble on to shorten the waiting time. The food is also inexpensive and the portions are large. The service was also excellent, especially very attentive. We are thrilled and will definitely come back.

Delicious food with friendly service and a nice ambience.

A very, very pleasant experience, friendly service, excellent value for money and above all you feel really welcome, the employees know how to act in a relaxed and professional manner even in stressful situations

Great Indian restaurant Very nice staff Tasty Indian dishes Lunch menu inexpensive and varied Well centrally located in the city Sufficient parking available within a short distance

The Taj Mahal in Merseburg is a real treat for lovers of Indian cuisine and offers outstanding value for money. As soon as you enter the restaurant, you will notice the special ambience, which immediately impresses with its authentic atmosphere and stylish details. The menu offers a diverse selection of delicious Indian dishes, with main courses available at surprisingly affordable prices starting at just €14. This combination of quality and price makes the Taj Mahal an attractive destination for foodies who value an affordable dining experience. What makes a visit to the Taj Mahal particularly pleasant is the extremely friendly and courteous service. The staff stands out not only for their professionalism, but also for their warm nature, which makes guests feel welcome. I felt like I was in good hands throughout my entire visit and was able to enjoy the culinary journey to the fullest. Overall, I can fully recommend the Taj Mahal restaurant. It combines excellent food, a pleasant ambience and excellent service to create an all-round successful gastronomic experience. Anyone who loves Indian food and values ​​a pleasant price-performance ratio will certainly get their money's worth here.

The food tasted very tasty, the waiters were somehow overwhelmed because it was relatively full. The prices for the food were completely ok.

We have been your guests several times and it has always been delicious and we have been very satisfied. Ordered a table today for Valentine's Day and we discovered that it was a complete disaster. It was like a waiting room where all the tables were occupied and the next people who made reservations had to wait between the people who had eaten until they were finished eating so they could sit down. In the end we left without eating because that has nothing to do with service. Our trusted restaurant once again saved our evening. Best regards Patrick and Diana

The food is great for anyone who can handle extra-cultural things, but I would die for the mint yogurt dip. It's really good and the staff is very attentive and accommodating. Even when it's busy, they manage to serve you your food quickly and to a high quality. The atmosphere is also very pleasant. I can simply recommend it.

It was okay, but nothing more. I was expecting more spicy food when you go to an Indian restaurant.

There's really delicious food here, we really liked it, we'll be back. And we did it again.
