Taj Mahal Restaurant in Lübeck

My second and last visit to this restaurant. On my first visit, I had to send back my order because it was inedible. The replacement was actually quite good. Since I always give people a second chance, the four of us went back months later. The place was completely packed. In total, we had to wait over an hour for our food. The food itself was partially burnt, with charred vegetables. By then, we were really hungry, relieved that our order had finally arrived, and afraid of having to wait another hour if we complained, so we only voiced our disappointment when they cleared our plates. On top of that, some of the ordered items were simply missing. We also didn't receive the expected compensation. My conclusion: Twice, never again.

Not that tasteful palak Paneeer. To many people what they could handle. We waited 1.5 hour for the food.

Incredibly delicious. The dishes are fresh, beautifully presented. The atmosphere is cozy and warm "home" despite the constant movement of customers. The staff is friendly, and Small Talk is so unobtrusive that it seemed like it was one of the additions that makes the dish even tastier :)

Delicious Indian food and friendly service. Excellent.

Delicious Indian food at moderate prices is served by friendly staff. Special requests are gladly accommodated. The menu is extensive and varied. The lunch menu is also highly recommended.

Very good service and delicious food

The food is good, plentiful, and delicious. The menu isn't as bloated as in many other Indian restaurants, but pleasantly concise. The service is super friendly and, as usual, very fast. The bread is very fresh, and the drinks arrived with all our special requests. The atmosphere is simple, not uncomfortable, but a little chilly. Nevertheless, we can recommend it!

Very friendly and attentive staff. All the dishes served with napkins were delicious.

Excellent food. Very accommodating, dogs are welcome.

A super friendly welcome, you immediately feel welcome. The owner personally greeted us and took our order. Her humorous manner greatly enhanced our evening. It was a coincidence that we ended up at this restaurant, and we didn't regret it. The food was very good and plentiful, and the prices were reasonable. We'll definitely come back next time we visit Lübeck.

I always enjoy coming here. The food and service are good. However, the restrooms are quite old, and it looks messy behind the counter. But, nonetheless, a good Indian restaurant.

Very good Indian food, good portions and the personnel was genuinely very nice and service minded. I felt like a regular here at my first visit. This would be my go to restaurant if I lived here. It deserves a visit.

For me one of the tastiest restaurants in Lübeck 😍 , friendly staff.

Super good food. Very friendly service. The ambiance isn't really nice. But the excellent food leaves nothing to be desired.

The Taj Mahal in Lübeck offers excellent Indian food – freshly prepared, very aromatic, and with a great selection of dishes. Every course was perfectly flavorful, from the appetizers to the main courses. The staff is attentive, friendly, and makes you feel welcome. Special requests are also accommodated without any problems. The restaurant itself can get quite lively and a bit loud at times, but this is understandable given the large number of people and always remains within limits. Overall, a very pleasant visit – if you're looking for good Indian cuisine in Lübeck, this is the place to be. A definite recommendation!

Authentic Indian restaurant with delicious food. Fast and friendly service.

Very tasty, lots of vegetarian/vegan options. Friendly, cheerful service!

Very friendly and very good food, an absolute recommendation

We had an excellent meal here. We also really enjoyed the Indian beer. The prices are reasonable.

We came to the restaurant at 22.20, when all the restaurants in the city were already closed. Without hope that we would be able to eat anything. But we were very lucky! Our order was taken! The food is simply amazing (butter chicken, curry chicken and flatbreads)! I have never tried such a mango lassi! Very friendly staff

It's with great pleasure that I share my review of the Taj Mahal restaurant in Lübeck, Germany. It's a truly delightful place! From the moment you walk in, you feel a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The interior is tastefully decorated in a style inspired by traditional Indian culture, which immediately sets the mood. The staff is incredibly friendly, smiling, and very helpful, always willing to advise on dish choices. And the food... it's a true feast for the palate! Every dish I tried was perfectly prepared. The flavors are authentic, intense, and the spices perfectly balanced. I especially recommend their curry, which is simply amazing – full of aroma and depth of flavor. Whether you prefer meat or vegetarian dishes, you're sure to find something to your liking. In short, the Taj Mahal restaurant in Lübeck is a place I wholeheartedly recommend to anyone looking for authentic Indian flavors, a wonderful atmosphere, and professional, yet very friendly service. It's the perfect place for a romantic dinner, a family lunch, or a get-together with friends. I'll definitely be back! Best regards and thank you.

Excellent food, friendly staff, normal price.

Best Indian restaurant I've been to

We received a very warm welcome, and the food was delicious. We'd love to come back if we ever come to Lübeck again 🙂

The food is great and the waiters are very friendly. The waiters even gave us a spoonful of fennel to help with digestion. My colleague had a bit of a stomach ache afterward.

We had a lovely dinner at Taj Mahal, Lübeck. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, and the staff made us feel right at home. They were especially kind and friendly with our children, which made the whole experience even better. The food was delicious — I especially loved the chicken vindaloo, which was full of flavor and just the right amount of spice. But the real surprise was the mango tiramisu — it was heavenly! A perfect twist on a classic dessert. Highly recommend this place for anyone craving authentic Indian food with warm hospitality. We’ll definitely be coming back next time we’re in town!

The staff treated us so awesome and where very friendly and attentative with a humorous touch. This is the best restaurant I have ever eaten at as far as customer service in Germany. Super awesome!!!!

Very tasty, very friendly, nicely decorated. And fair prices.

Very delicious food, super friendly service. I highly recommend it.

What an insider tip! I discovered it by chance sometime ago, but then never ate anywhere else in Lübeck again! The curries come in wonderful sauce boats heated with warmers to keep things hot, the portions are more than generous, the prices are absolutely reasonable (starter, two main courses, and drinks just under €40), and the dips? A dream. I recommend trying the starters and eating the curries; they're definitely worth a visit and a special evening!

We eat Indian food OFTEN!! It was GREAT here. On top of that, the people were very nice—what more could you want? Oh yeah, they even asked how spicy you'd like it beforehand... TOP!

Very friendly staff and good food ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A wonderful Indian family restaurant! The atmosphere is very pleasant, the staff attentive and friendly—the service is first-class. We were particularly impressed by the chicken tikka masala—incredibly delicious! And the mango tiramisu is a real discovery, a culinary highlight. We'll definitely be back!

Tasty food, and super friendly staff!

The food was reasonably priced and delicious. The service was attentive, and the music was at the perfect volume. Not too loud, not too quiet.

The food is good and the service very attentive. I've enjoyed coming here for years and can only recommend it. It's easy to park down by the canal and then walk to the restaurant. Same-day reservations are also possible, and I've never been unable to get a table.

Food was boring, tasted of nothing

For me, this is still the best Indian restaurant in Lübeck! The ambiance may be rather simple, but the food and service are simply top-notch!

Delicious food with very friendly and charming staff. Simply top-notch 👍

Utrolig sød og opmærksom betjening! Super lækkert og autentisk mad. Vi prøvede også en indisk rødvin, og det er bestemt ikke sidste gang. Kan varmt anbefales!

We found out about this restaurant by chance. A table was prepared in an extremely friendly manner and the food was delicious! Above all, the two nice ladies who served us were incredibly hospitable! Without question recommended!

Extremely friendly, warm, competent service. Large selection. Delicious foods. I looked in vain for a fifth star in the toilet 🚽.

With a Christmas party from work there

The service we received yesterday was really nice and the food was really delicious. I got a Chicken tandoori and the husband a butter chicken as well as naan with garlic and of course raita and rice. It all tasted simply perfect. Sweetest waiters and quick service. Nice place.

The food was very tasty, the service was very friendly. Only to be recommended!!!

Fantastically delicious authentic food. Super friendly service, can be recommended.

You are greeted very nicely. There is a great atmosphere, the ambience is stunning and above all the staff is very friendly and accommodating. I'll be back!

Very disappointing! Most dishes with a sauce taste almost the same: few spices (they are expensive), tomato paste, cream, a few cashews, a little ginger... Simply bland, boring and loveless. Even the rice (side dish) is just a cheap basmati with a few additives. Anyone who has been to India or at least been to a good Indian restaurant knows that things really need to be improved here. The staff was friendly.

Super delicious food in a great atmosphere, we would love to come back!

Nice selection. Very tasty food. Great service. Absolutely recommended. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Very nice and cozy Indian restaurant. Each dish tasted different and was very tasty! The service was very good and quick. Highly recommended!

I found the food very tasty. We didn't have to wait long for the food and the service was very friendly. I chose the butter chicken and was very satisfied, the portion was large and very filling. I would come more often.

Indian. Good lunch until 5:00 p.m.

As always, plenty of food, which tastes great and friendly service!

Very nice Indian restaurant in the north of the old town. Very tasty food, nice and quick service. Great for lunch!

Just wow, met yesterday through Eat the World. Visited again today with a friend and asked us to take a closer look at the kitchen. Absolutely successful!!!

Very good food, reasonable prices, very friendly service!

Were in Lübeck for 2 days and visited the restaurant because of the good reviews. We can only say good things. We were greeted very friendly, served very quickly and, above all, very well advised. We asked whether everything was OK and whether the food tasted good. And the food was very, very tasty. What more could you want? Can only be recommended.

Very nice employees. Very good food. We'd love to come back.

Very warm service and delicious food

Great food and very friendly service!

Great friendly service and delicious food

Very tasty food in a pleasant atmosphere at very acceptable prices. The service is very attentive and helpful. We like to come here when we are in Lübeck.

The food is always delicious. The staff is super friendly. We always enjoy coming back :)

Very good experience. Music is not loud, food was really good, server was nice and polite. I would come back

Delicious and inexpensive lunch

We come here regularly and love the food and the friendly atmosphere. Can definitely recommend it! The desired spiciness can be ordered individually.

Great lunch, we like to come here often

Always very, very tasty, super friendly family-run restaurant. I would recommend it to anyone who likes Indian food.

Wir essen hier gerne dem Mittagstisch. Das team ist nett und das Essen lecker. Insbesondere den mango Lassi und Lamm Jalfrezi kann ich sehr empfehlen.

The food was delicious, we hardly had to wait, and we were well looked after. All in all, it was really great, and I'd love to come back. Thank you!

My son and I eat here once a month. The quality is always top-notch. Everything is delicious and I highly recommend it. 👍👋👋 Very attentive service, always nice and friendly. You feel welcome here.

The food is delicious. However, we preferred the butter chicken in the sister restaurant in Bad Schwartau. Ambience is as expected. The location in Lübeck's old town is definitely a plus. Service was friendly.

We (married couple) spontaneously went out to eat there, it was very good. Food delicious, service relaxed and friendly, atmosphere good. Come again.

Super nice staff. Food was very tasty!!! Gladly again!!!

Very good food and the service excellent. Gladly again

Always super friendly and delicious anyway. Children love it.

The second time in two months. I summarize: 1. Saffron was mentioned on the rice special and was highly praised, but it was not present. And we have known the great Persian taste for decades. It's also very expensive if you want to buy the really good one. 2. Too few vegetables and ingredients in the dishes. You can see that savings are being made. Too much sauce too. Doesn't have to be. 3. General Indian taste with herbs not really present. It lacks a certain flair and India offers so many beautiful spices and herbs. 4. Not enough vegetarian dishes. 5. Too expensive for little food. Overall: Grade 4- That's why we were here for the last time. Too bad.

Incredibly nice waiter. Really delicious food. Simply perfect.

I had the great pleasure of visiting the Taj Mahal and it was without a doubt one of the best gastronomic experiences of my life. This restaurant is not just a place to eat but a journey through the diverse and aromatic flavors of India. As soon as I entered the restaurant, I was greeted by a warm, spicy scent that immediately made me look forward to the meal ahead. The interior was tastefully designed with traditional Indian elements that created a cozy yet elegant atmosphere. The service was first class. The staff were friendly, attentive and were able to explain each dish on the menu in detail. The personal touch was particularly impressive - I had the feeling that the employees were really passionate about what they were doing. And now to the most important part: the food. Every bite was a feast for the senses! The menu offered an impressive variety, from creamy curries to perfectly grilled tandoori. I particularly recommend the Butter Chicken – tender chicken in a velvety tomato sauce that was seasoned to perfection. Vegetarians also get their money's worth here: the paneer tikka masala was an absolute highlight, as were the freshly baked naan breads, which served as the perfect side dish. What particularly impressed me was the authenticity of the dishes. The spices were excellently balanced so that the flavors melded together harmoniously without overpowering. You can tell that people cook with heart here. For the quality and experience on offer, the prices are more than fair. The portions are generous and every penny is well spent. Rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 / 5

Very nice and friendly staff. And the food tasted great

We were there on New Year's Eve. The service was outstanding, it goes without saying that orders are remembered and not written down. The food was outstanding, a taste explosion of different herbs and spices and so good that we ordered an extra portion to take away. All in one: if you like Indian food or want to try it, then right there!

The food is very, very tasty and the price is almost too cheap in my opinion. The landlady was really very nice. We felt very comfortable and would love to come back.

Delicious food, good portions, friendly service; can't go wrong.

We were there in a larger group and had a lovely evening. The food was delicious, although the portions were a bit too small for some. The service was good, even if we felt a bit rushed at the beginning because drinks and food had to be taken together, even though we hadn't been sitting at the table for very long. Overall, a good restaurant.

Super tasty, great service and best quality. We'll definitely be back!

The food test is good but the quantity is not enough.

If you have never had Indian food before, then you might like the food. But if you know the original taste of Indian Cuisines, then it's better to skip this restaurant and find a better one. We ordered Samosa's and Pakoras for starters. Samosa only had the filling of Potatoes and Peas. And Pakoras had little to nothing vegetable and a huge chunk of Chickpea flour. The main dish, I had was Chicken Tikka masala, which was completely bland. And my friend had Vegetable Biryani with a lot of Cinnamon. I cook tastier biryani at home. For dessert, we had Rasmalai. The milk balls were either mixed with starch or something because I have never eaten a harder Rasgulla before. And the cream was really thin and watery. I am not sure if the cooks working have any idea of how Indian food really tastes like. Eating here is a complete waste of money. The best thing that I was happy with was Fanta.

Wildly delicious Indian food, and good service

Authentic Indian restaurant, super service and delicious food. A must if you are into Indian food.

Super polite and friendly service, quick and cheap lunch

Very tasty and great service, some vegan/veggie 😊

Super delicious Indian food. I have rarely eaten such good chicken curry. The service was courteous, friendly and very communicative. I can recommend the restaurant without reservation.

Clear recommendation! I had Chicken Kashmiri from lunch and I have to say it was really very good. If I were in the city longer, I would definitely come back again! :)

Very nice restaurant with absolutely delicious food. Super friendly and warm. Absolute recommendation

Had a very tasty lunch. Inexpensive. Chicken Schole for 7.50. At lunchtime, this is definitely a great alternative compared to the incredibly high snack and kebab prices. 🙂 Bonus: When I paid, I saw a handwritten “Thank you” with a smiley face on the receipt. 🙂🙂

Super friendly service. The dishes were good to very good at a reasonable price.

Great food, great service, great prices. Highly recommended.

Very nice and warm! The food was great! Gladly again

Very friendly greeting when entering the restaurant. “Boss” goes from table to table and asks if everything is okay. Very tasty authentic dishes. Fast, friendly service. Great tasting dishes. Price-performance ratio is perfect. We'll be back
