Taj Mahal Magdeburg in Magdeburg

Service is at most 3 stars. Menu far too large

“I don’t usually complain, but the basic cutlery here was a joke. The spoon was so small it felt like I was eating with a baby’s spoon. For a restaurant of this standard, it’s unacceptable.”

We order from there very often, and the food has always been delicious and plentiful. This time, however, we were there in person – and unfortunately, we were very disappointed. The preparation took forever, and that was just for two dishes and a portion of fries. The menu stated that all dishes come with bread and rice. However, I only received a couple of hard breads, which were absolutely not enough. I asked beforehand if the dish was spicy and was told, "No." In fact, it was very, very spicy and barely edible. When I pointed this out, all I got was the answer: "Is it spicy? No, it's not spicy." – very unprofessional. Overall, I was really disappointed and won't be coming back. It's a shame, because I actually loved the chicken there, but the service was unfortunately very poor. The only good thing: The place is very clean.

Excellent food. The Taj Mahal platter for 4 people is highly recommended for hungry guests. We'd be happy to come back!

The food was plentiful and good. I would have preferred a different (homemade?) dip for the appetizer (sweet and sour sauce is available at any supermarket). Staff council friendly. The location on the main street is quite noisy for outdoor seating.

The best Indian restaurant in the area. Delicious food, friendly service, and a welcoming atmosphere. Vegetarian dishes are also available, and there's something for everyone at a more than reasonable price.

Great experience. Great food. Ideal for groups.

Ordered so many times and will keep coming back. Bread is amazing. Butter chicken is crazy creamy. Only wish is for sauce to be more 😭 not to forget the amazing papadums

We didn't like the Indian food there at all. Unfortunately, because we love Indian cuisine. One of the listed phone numbers didn't work, but the second one did, but the person on the phone spoke very unclearly, and the service on site was also lacking in friendly manner.

The food was delicious and the delivery service was very friendly. Simply good.

Absolutely fantastic! Top quality and fantastic staff!

We had a table by the window, unfortunately overlooking the Aldi parking lot. Well, there are worse places. The seats were comfortable and good. Service was fast and friendly. The food was great! We had the leftovers packed up! Prices were the same as 10 years ago! Very good! The only downside: the music was too loud.

Real authentic Indian food, and that's coming from an Indian. Lovely atmosphere, great food.

The food was truly delicious, especially the chicken tikka starter. The naan bread was just what you'd expect from many other places, and the mango lassi was amazing! We highly recommend this restaurant!

The food was really good and warm. Had a very very nice meal.

Ordered food for 11 people today. Everything was finished within 45 minutes. For the last 5 minutes of waiting we were treated to a delicious mango lassie. The food was packed in standard aluminum boxes and partially coated cardboard boxes/cans. Everything was well locked. We didn't leak any of the many boxes. The food was very tasty and the portions were really big. If I saw it correctly, none of us finished our portion - even I only managed half of my Vindalo after the starter (see photo). (And I occasionally order 2 pizzas from the Italian restaurant). Can I eat again tomorrow 🤗 The ambience could still be worked on a bit. It is very obvious that a Greek restaurant previously occupied the premises. At least the card displays in front of the restaurant with the inscription "Greek specialties" (meaning that, I didn't remember the exact wording) could be removed in two easy steps. Nevertheless, we will definitely order again as it was very tasty. We had a great birthday evening.

In the restaurant: I think more staff is needed. Online ordering distracts from restaurant service. Staff undoubtedly friendly. But the system could be significantly better. Food was tasty.

Actually not even 1 star, all tables were occupied, which is very good, but there was only one waiter in the entire restaurant who couldn't keep up. Sorry, but more staff definitely needs to be planned. We waited almost 2 hours for our food, which sometimes came wrong and had to be waited again. We had ordered for 8 people and we were seated at a table for 6. Sorry, but they won't see us there again!

Great food, Best service! Even on such a busy day on 14th February, the staff was very friendly and polite. Hats off! Will definitely recommend !

The food is very tasty and we are so satisfied 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

The food is amazing good tasty. Thank you❤️❤️❤️❤️

Very good food and great service. Will definitely recommend!

We had a great time today. Great food, friendly workers and even though, too many guests were there, everything was managed well.

Waited for 1hr and yet didn't receive food Very rude behaviour from the waiters from there. They ignored most of the time when we called them.

The staff is very Unfriendly, They made us wait for 1 hour without telling us how long to wait for the food and Once we started to leave, He got Rude, started Blabbering in Punjabi and saying Don’t you dare curse I’ll not recommend to anyone

I went to the restaurant with my friend group and I had to wait 1 hour and I didn’t get the food still then I just walked out with all my friends and the people there are too rude and don’t know how to talk with the customer the place is trash don’t go there whatsoever.

we waited for 1hr and still weren’t served. The staff there is extremely rude and when confronted they asked us to leave. Horrible experience. Wouldn’t recommend

waited for an hour for the food, when asked about it we didn’t get a response. staff was very rude. they didn’t know how to handle their customers. not recommended.

We had a very disappointing experience at this restaurant. We were made to wait for more than an hour for our food, and the staff was extremely unfriendly and unprofessional. Despite multiple inquiries, we received no updates regarding the status of our order. Eventually, when we asked again, the staff still failed to provide any information and, to our surprise, asked us to leave. Such disrespectful behavior and poor service are unacceptable. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone.

The atmosphere was fine. But the people are very rude. They don't respect their customers. We were waiting for our food for approx. 1 hr. When I asked them when we will receive the food they kept on saying few minutes but it never came. So we just left the place. They even told us to get out. The customer service was worse to the core. They Don't even respond properly. I don't recommend this place to anyone if they want their self respect to be maintained.

Preferably no star at all.. Ordered food at 7 p.m. and still nothing at 10 p.m., tried to reach them since 9 p.m. but no one answers the phone.. At Lieferando the order was simply marked as delivered even though it never arrived here. The last scam shop...

A really great service as well as a very successful and delicious meal. It's been a long time since I've eaten so well and cheaply. We will come again.

Hey, we ordered delivery, it was delivered clean and very hot, there was a mistake but it was quickly fixed after the call and report, we were able to keep everything... I can't say anything about the ambience... I didn't find any vegan sauces.

We ordered directly on their website, where it says that the dishes come with rice, naan bread and salad. But now naan bread and salad were missing and when we asked over the phone we found out that there was only one side dish left. There is nothing about this on the site and the prices have remained the same. There was no solution... we are very disappointed and have to say that this restaurant has lost us as (regular) customers

One of his employees said I have to wait 2 hours if I order from Lieferando. What is that ? Is that logical?

Very generous portion for the price, free salad and small mango lassi on top. It couldn't be better.

The food was very tasty and the service could have been much more motivated. But maybe it was also due to the events here in Magdeburg last week.

Nice themed Indian restaurant. The food was incredibly tasty with a good portion, the people were very nice. I ended up getting a mango lassi with my friend :)

It's been a long time since I've had such a good Indian meal! Starter salad, bread and lassi included. Large selection, generous portions and very good quality. Served in a friendly and quick manner and absolutely inexpensive. Absolute recommendation!

Order was placed online ✅. The food could be picked up after the specified time 👍. The food was very tasty 😋 and sufficient 🤤. The price-performance ratio is right 💯! #OnlineOrder #FoodPickup #Delicious #PricePerformance #Restaurant

We order our butter chicken with naan bread there at least once every month. Unfortunately, things are getting worse from time to time. The food is undoubtedly tasty, but unfortunately it is no longer as intensely seasoned as it used to be. For us, that’s what Indian food is all about. Although our butter chicken tasted delicious, it wasn't heavily seasoned as usual. Unfortunately, the naan bread that we still order twice no longer has the same taste as it once had. In addition, the food has decreased since moving to another property.

We were amazed by their food and service. We ordered chicken soup, all tikka mix(it contains 6-7 chicken and lamm tikka pieces) as appetizers. For main course we ordered chicken tandoori (it contains 2 leg 2 thigh pieces, one portion rice, one nan bread), we also ordered an extra butter nan and 2 colas. The food was absolute delicious, right amount of spices, the portions were huge and the staff behavior was really appreciable. They have a salad corner from where you can take unlimited salad which was a +1 for us. At the end they give is two complementary mango lassis which was very tasty. Overall we had a very good experience. We recommend the place to visit💕

The chicken didn’t taste like it was even cooked thoroughly, I felt really sick after eating here. I would not recommend eating here at all and I eat Indian all the time. This is just not the place to do it! Service was really nice but not worth the food 😅

There was no scampi, normal shrimp dish 136 stinks! Only spicy, missing the typical Indian spices, dish 106 lamb mango - more pineapple than mango in the sauce, quite flatly seasoned, missing India. The meat from the leg is firm and dry - tough, pre-cooked and warmed in the sauce! Should a test dinner become an anniversary. Failed - I cook myself

Was the worst meal I've ever had.

Delivery service is underground, after more than an hour no food, multiple calls have changed nothing, there was no promised call back either, stay away!!!

Super tasty, plentiful and very good value for money. Faster and friendly delivery. Happy to order again!

Everything was great: very friendly staff, the food came quickly and was very tasty and plentiful. If we travel to Magdeburg again, we will definitely come back! Thanks

We were really considering only giving two or one star because we really waited 2 hours for our food. First it said 20 minutes, then 30 and then 49 minutes. If you're hungry, it's really an unbearable time for 2 hours to wait for the food, but the food was so tasty that's why we still give it 4 stars and will try again to see if the delivery works better otherwise we would be here correcting it again with the stars at waiting 2 hours or longer for the food That's not a nice point and what's also a shame is that one loaf of bread was unfortunately forgotten by three people and unfortunately two loaves of bread were with them.

Recommended by a friend, unfortunately very disappointing. Eating way too spicy, cheap meat, more cloves and cardamom than rice. Ambience = 0. However, we were served quickly. Too bad! Next time again to Maharaja Palace on Klausener Straße. The service is better there, the boss is friendly and you're not sitting directly on the main street.

Best place to have indian food in Magdeburg.

The ambiance was warm and inviting with beautiful Indian decor. The service was top-notch with friendly and attentive staff. But the main star of show was the food! The spices were perfectly balanced and taste was awesome. If you are in Magdeburg and want to try Indian cuisine then do visit this restaurant. You won't regret it!!

The food is really tasty. And the staff is really friendly, they serve food like family. We always have a really good experience at Taj Mahal restaurant.

Food was delicious and great service

That was definitely the last time I ordered food from there today. Called around 4:50 p.m. because everything on Lieferando is extremely expensive and only kebab is offered for delivery online. Placed the order, provided the address and then had to wait. The food was ordered at 7 p.m. 7:30 p.m. first inquiry about where the food was: after I gave my name and address, they said the food was on the way 7:50 p.m. still no food, same statement, the food will be there soon At 8 p.m. suddenly no one knew anything about the order and a piece of paper appeared spontaneously. It said 5€ discount or no food at all (we ordered for 6 people) Even though they were incredibly rude, we agreed because we were hungry and wanted to eat at all At 8:35 p.m. food finally arrived, but it was more expensive than on the menu (no flat rate, everything was more expensive) and no receipt That was definitely the last order, we waited forever and then the manager of the store gave us a stupid shout-out Thanks, I'll order somewhere else and skip it!

Eating takes some getting used to

Ordered food at 9:49 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. It's now 1:20 p.m. and the food for 4 people still hasn't arrived. Not interested in sales? That was definitely the last time.

We ordered here during our lunch break. The delivery was over 1.5 hours late. No notification, no apology. But the food was warm and tasty.

Unfortunately, despite booking a table, we didn't have a pleasant evening. Apparently there was a service company in the house that day who couldn't fix a problem. So the restaurant remained closed. No rejection despite existing email address and telephone number. Very unprofessional.

The butter chicken tasted like half a kilo of sugar had been put in there.

Very good value for money. Authentic & delicious Indian food.

3:30 p.m. Appointment order for 6:45 p.m. There was no food at 7:15 p.m. and no one could be reached by phone. Will not order again with a child.

Unfortunately, the interior work was done by the Greeks who were there before, but a star deduction for ambience. But the food was great. Value for money in my opinion too. Since I'm in Asia for work, I have direct comparisons. The chai is great cinema. Chicken Biryani highly, highly recommended. The tandoori dishes too. Vegetable pakora (cauliflower) wasn't quite as good, but the rest of the pakora mix plate was very good.

At first I was skeptical, then pleasantly surprised. Wheat for an incredible €3.90. There are still traces of the predecessor everywhere, a Greek. But Alexander was already in India. So it fits again. Service and food were good. My personal first ever with an Indian.

Very, very tasty and rich food Free delicious salad with dressing as an appetizer both in the restaurant and for delivery Restaurant itself not so cozy, music comes via box from the cell phone, as soon as a call etc. comes in, the music stops and is started again later manually Recommendation: Have it delivered and enjoy!

Waiting time of over two hours, even if you ask in a friendly manner, you are held back.

Very bad customer service .They were way too rude over the call.

The lamb kurma is exceptional and authentic 💖😊😉

Excellent Food, fast served, located at heart of Magdeburg. ❤️☺️

The restaurant apparently relies mainly on delivery. The food is really great, the ambience is not. A few pictures of the Taj Mahal and loud rap music don't turn a Greek restaurant into an Indian one if the figures hang unchanged on the wall. There is clearly more possible!

They always say that the first impression counts. In this case, it was very bad. The food boxes were already at the entrance. When we went in, we immediately noticed that the ambience was not right. Curtains were hanging down wildly, no tables were set, everything was totally loveless. A look at the menu u in the group made us decide to just drink up and not eat anything there. We don't go there anymore.

Ordered, received order confirmation. Data checked and OK. No delivery received, no message. We are very disappointed and will never order there again! Addendum: Food arrived at 12 p.m. today after the restaurant simply adjusted the delivery time at 11 a.m. Immediate delivery was stated in the order... It's a shame that you can't take off the last star! I'm at work, my food is at home...

ಭಾರತದ ಶೈಲಿ‌ಊಟ ಅಂದುಕೊಂಡು ಅಪ್ಲಿ ತಪ್ಪಿಯು ಇಲ್ಲಿ ಹೋಗಬೇಡಿ. ಚಿಲ್ಲಿ ಚಿಕನ್ ಯಾರು ಸ್ವೀಟ್ ಆಗಿ ಮಾಡಬಹುದು ಹೇಳಿ? ಇವರು ಮಾಡುತ್ತಾರೆ!! ಒಂದು ಚೂರು ಖಾರ ಇಲ್ಲ.. ಮೊದಲೇ ಹೇಳಿದ್ದರು ಸ್ವಲ್ಪವು ಖಾರ ಇರಲಿಲ್ಲ.. ಖಾರ ಕೇಳಿದ್ದಕ್ಕೆ, ಮೆಣಸಿನ ಖಾರದ ಚಿಕ್ಕ ಬಟ್ಟಲಿ ತಂದು ಪಕ್ಕಕ್ಕೆ ಇಟ್ಟರು!! ದರಗಳು ಹೆಚ್ಚೇನಿಲ್ಲ. ಆದರೆ, ಭಾರತೀಯ ಶೈಲಿಯ ಊಟ ಮಾಡಬೇಕು ಅಂತ ಆಸೆ ಪಟ್ಟು ಹೋದರೆ, ನಿರಾಸೆ ಗ್ಯಾರಂಟಿ..

Guys, please don't let the positive reviews mislead you, they can only be fakes. There were five of us and we all had nausea, diarrhea and vomiting after “EATING”. The meat didn't taste good and was apparently spoiled, which unfortunately we couldn't notice right away because of all the spices. Not only the food, if you can even call it that, but also the ambience and service are very bad. At the entrance you will be greeted by many plastic bags from the delivery service and the delivery drivers. Service was so-so, the empty bottles were on our table the whole time, we had to fetch the waiter personally. Receipt was a mess. The only bright spot was the dessert, which was delicious, but that's small consolation. We'll never go there again and wouldn't recommend it to you either. P.S. I've been to India several times, eaten everything there and never had any problems with my stomach. We love real Indian food.

Delivery was quick but that meant the food wasn't good - it tasted like it had been warmed up in the microwave

Good curries, especially the vegetarian ones. Curry comes with Naan and mango lassi, very satisfying.

Wir hatten was bestellt eine Platte für 2 Personen bestellt und nicht bekommen

Seit dem Umzug in die neuen Räumlichkeiten ein schöneres Ambiente. Das Essen ist immer toll und die verschiedenen Geschmäcker sind ein Gaumenschmaus.

Essen war suuuper lecker! Gab auch auf Wunsch eine vegetarische Platte für 2 Personen, die nicht auf der Karte stand. Im Local war nur die Musik sehr seltsam (mit Werbung, manchmal aus, manchmal an). Dennoch war es wunderbar und empfehle es gerne weiter!

Unmöglich . Per Lieferung bestellt 2.5 Stunden Wartezeit ist für ein Montag zu viel... ans Telefon geht keiner ran wird abgelehnt . Können das lokal schließen

Excellent Food, place and ambience in center of City

Die Lieferung hat sich mehr als 90 Minuten verzögert und wir wurden am Telefon hingehalten.

Ich habe mir essen zu einer bestimmten Wunschuhrzeit bestellt über eine Stunde später war keiner da. Niemand geht ans Telefon und man wartet, ohne eine Info was mit der Bestellung ist.

Am Sonntag - Mittag: Salatbuffet bestand aus Tomaten, Eisbergsalad, Grüne Gurke!!! Und EIER DRESSING!!! Hauptspeise - Lammfleisch Sehr zäh, schlecht aufgetaut, 21 Gewürzsosse war o. K. Keine Servietten, Gewürze am Tisch. Tandoribrot war sehr gut. Z. Z. kann ich Lokal NICHT empfehlen, trotz günstigen Preis von 40 € für 2 Personen...

Bestes indischen Essen in Magdeburg. Veg. Gerichte super, und im Restaurant immer sehr leer.

Das Essen war sehr gut, auf Nachfrage wurden Extrawünsche erfüllt. Ich hatte ein vegetarisches Gericht, über das Fleisch kann ich also nichts sagen. Die Ästhetik im Innenraum lässt Luft nach oben - mir ist das Essen allerdings wichtiger.

Sehr gute indische Küche mit guter Auswahl an Speisen. Preis/Leistung ist sehr gut. Es gibt für jeden Geschmack etwas. Die Ausstattung im Restaurant ist einfach, aber sauber und insgesamt ein angenehmes Ambiente. Die Bedienung war zu jeder freundlich und zuvorkommend. Als Liebhaber der indischen Küchen, haben wir diverse indische Restaurants in Deutschland und auch im Ausland besucht und müssen feststellen, dass das Taj Mahal in Magdeburg zu unseren Favoriten gehört. In Magdeburg und Umgebung gibt es vom Essen her, kein besseres Restaurant.

Besonders beeindruckend ist die Qualität und Geschwindigkeit bei den Bestellungen. 5 von 5 mal war alles heiß und sehr lecker. cheese nan und auch die chicken currys und massallas sind top. Auch als Vorspeise / halbe Portion super.

Excelente atención, fantástica comida. Es una lástima que su ubicación, lejos del centro social y gastronómico de la ciudad, no permita a sus ciudadanos descubrir esta joya de la cocina hindú. Auténtica, contundente, frugal, exótica, rica en aromas, olores, sabores y colores, así es la comida que se ofrece en Taj Mahal Magdeburg, un pintoresco restaurante en el Südenburg magderburgés. Los invito a venir y hacer viral este restaurante ¡Merece la pena salir de nuestra zona de confort y arriesgarnos a descubrir algo fantástico! Ausgezeichneter Service, fantastisches Essen. Es ist schade, dass seine Lage, weit entfernt vom sozialen und gastronomischen Zentrum der Stadt, es den Bürgern nicht ermöglicht, dieses Juwel der indischen Küche zu entdecken. Authentisch, deftig, sparsam, exotisch, reich an Aromen, Gerüchen, Geschmack und Farben - das ist die Küche des Taj Mahal Magdeburg, einem malerischen Restaurant in der Südenburg von Magderburg. Ich lade Sie ein, dieses Restaurant bekannt zu machen, denn es lohnt sich, aus unserer Komfortzone herauszutreten und das Risiko einzugehen, etwas Fantastisches zu entdecken!

Ich hatte einen Chai, Ring Pakoda und Palak Paneer. Alles war lecker. Für meinen Geschmack hätte das Paneer ruhig etwas weicher sein können. Punktabzug für das Ambiente, da der Innenraum des Restaurants nicht wirklich einladend ist. Der Außenbereich trotz befahrener Straße umso mehr. Ein Besuch lohnt auf jeden Fall.

Hebben buiten gezeten op het terras en heerlijk gegeten. Het terras ligt aan een drukke weg maar door de planten wat afgeschermd. Bediening was aardig en attent. De hoofdgerechten geserveerd in mooie opwarm pannetjes. Kregen glaasje heerlijke lassie gratis toen we gingen betalen. Echt een aanrader en hond mag gewoon mee.

Welche professionellen Miesmacher vergeben hier negative Punkte, weil das Restaurant Taj Mahal an einer Hauptstraße liegt ?!? Wenn einem das nicht gefällt ... denn man kann den Standort ja schon von außen sehen .... heh, dann geht einfach nicht hin ... und vor allem ... bewertet den Laden nicht auch noch schlecht, nur weil euch der Standort jetzt plötzlich nicht passt und sich nichts anderes finden lässt. Das Taj Mahal bietet natürlich ausgezeichnetes Essen für einen sehr vernünftigen Preis. Der Service bei unserem Besuch war super, freundlich, alles ging ruckzuck. Aber das Wichtigste, das Menu (Chicken Marsala) hat so gut geschmeckt, dass wir das Taj Mahal in Magdeburg in unserer internen Restaurantliste aufgenommen haben ... sprich .... wir nehmen für weitere, zukünftige Besuche sogar eine längere Anfahrt in Kauf (aus Braunschweig), - eben weil es dort so gut geschmeckt hat !

Das Essen war sehr lecker! Der Service und das Ambiente sind ausbaufähig.

Essen schmeckt, leider ist das Ambiente nicht ansprechend. Sind wohl mehr auf Liefern aus.

War sehr traurig da der Laden Personal war freundlich aber alles voll runtergekommen

Freundliche und schnelle Bedienung. Reichliches Essen und geschmacklich sehr empfehlenswert.

Essen Top aber Lieferservice Flop. Der Lieferant versteht kein Wort deutsch und kann sich nicht artikulieren. Lieferung nur teilweise erhalten. Nachlieferung erfolgte aber schnell und komplikationslos. Das Wechselgeld muss man ihm vorrechnen weil das klappt leider auch nicht. Hygiene wird sehr klein geschrieben. Mango Lassi wird in einer 1,5 L PET Flasche geliefert also mit Hygiene hat das nix zutun. Zuerst trinken welche aus der PET Flasche danach wird dort Mango Lassi reingefüllt. Allein der Gedanke ist ekelig. Sehr schade.

Das Essen war wieder superlecker. Der Service gut. Und die Wartezeit sensationell kurz. Gerne wieder!

Mein Gericht: Lamm Curry Kosten ~ 15,00€ Geschmacklich okay. Habe schon weit aus besser und geschmackvollere Speisen in indischen Restaurants serviert bekommen - da ist deutlich Luft nach oben. Der Preis ist mit etwa 15€ aus meiner Sicht zudem exorbitant hoch für das persönlichen Preis/ Leistungsempfinden. Gesamt betrachtet ein Gaumenerlebnis der Marke, kann man mal machen, muss man aber nicht. Von mir gibts 2 von 5 Sternen.
