If only The Blue Taj were not so far away! My husband and I recently schlepped out to Ballantyne specifically to eat at the Blue Taj because a co-worker recommended it. (Full disclosure: an Indian coworker ... so it carried a little bit more weight.) I am so glad we decided to test it out. It was absolutely worth the drive and the extended time on the babysitter clock.
The biggest shocker of the evening for me was that this restaurant is the sister restaurant to Copper. What? How did I miss the memo? I am not a fan of Copper - too fru-fru for me when I just want good, authentic Indian. The Blue Taj is the answer to that problem. Delicious food. Traditional dishes. Optional spiciness... everything I miss about my favorite Indian restaurants back home in Boston.
We enjoyed everything we ate ... cucumber salad, samosas, naan ... for starters ... chicken tikka masala and a delicious scallop dish for the entrees. We devoured our rice and our server promptly refilled it. Love that. I can't wait to go back and try some more dishes!
