We had malai Kofta, dal makhni, cucumber salad and tandoori roti..it was great! Actually, awesome roti I have had in a very long time.. Make sure you tell them the right spice level..they have a rating scale of 1-6 (min-max)..my taste buds don't allow me to go beyond 3 even though I am an Indian and was brought up on... More

During a business trip, I had both the chickpea saag and mushroom saag. They were both excellent. The first dish did have too much salt for my liking, so the next time I ordered, I asked for no salt. They had a ton of vegetarian options and the service was great. The building looks like an old rundown IHOP, but... More

Since I have never eaten at Taj Mahal before, this was an interesting experience. The atmosphere was fun and friendly.

This is a gem in Terre Haute--real Indian food with a friendly staff. To me, their food is as good as Indian food in a large city, and that's what makes it so special in Terre Haute. You can very the spicy flavor, and the restaurant has a variety of Indian beer. Stop in!

I love spicy food and was surprised to see this along 3rd street. I did myself a huge favor by stopping by at 3pm when they aren't busy. Ordered the chicken vindaloo (love saying that word) and asked for a 5 out of 6 spiciness rating. I was happy with my choice. It was spicy enough for my taste yet... More

Oddly in Terre Haute, this is an Indian restaurant as good as those found in a larger city. The menu is extensive with a variety of lamb, chicken, and vegetable dishes. The Saag Paneer is excellent. Diners can choose how hot/spicy they want their meals. There is also a wide variety of Indian beers. Service is prompt and friendly, and... More

We enjoy Indian food, and this is one of our favorite Indian restaurants (we've tried Indian restaurants in lots of places, from Perth, Australia to Bristol, England.) We usually get take-out, but we've also enjoyed the lunch buffet occasionally, and we've eaten dinner at the restaurant a few times. We like the buffet very much, but take-out gives us the... More

we lived in India/Nepal for over two years. The items served here are very disappointing. Even the chhai tasted bad.

Ever since I was young my parents have been taking me to Indian cuisine restaurants, and I'm to the point where I crave it constantly know. I get take out all the time, and sometimes dine in and the service is always friendly and nice. The food however is the best Indian I've had. You can pick from 6 levels... More

We stumbled on this place when we couldn't find an American place we found in the AAA book. Since we like Indian food, we thought we'd try. It was very good, service friendly, portions a little small, but very adequate. I recommend this place for Indian food that is not mass produced in a buffet (I hate those).
