My wife and I hit the Taj Mahal last night, based on recommendations in this group, and I have to agree. We had an excellent dinner. The waiter and chef were very solicitous, even offering to take dishes back and redo them if they were too spicy or not spicy enough. We got the Taj Mahal dinner for two, which turned out to be an appetizer that was a carnivore's platter (tandoori chicken, a couple of shrimp, and other goodies) and a second course that included rice, nan, a lentil curry, an eggplant curry, a lamb curry, and a nice raita. Rice pudding and tea for dessert. Oops, I almost forgot the pappadum appetizer. All very yummy and reasonably priced. We'll be back.

Good Indian food

I liked it much more than the indian buffet at Cary Towne Center. The offerings included: * two chicken dishes - Chicken Tandoori and Butter Chicken - both would've benifitted greatly from using boneless filets). Both had terrific flavor though - the Tandoori was really smoky tasting. * a spicy eggplant dish - my favorite * a chick pea dish (didn't try) * maybe one or two other dishes. Plenty of sides to choose from, including (HOT) onion chutney, mango chutney, and a pretty good raita. Their buffet is a pretty good deal ($4.95), but their entree prices at dinner are a little bit more than India Mahal's prices.
