| - Since Christmas is the busy season for a concert musician, we decided that the cooking of a huge Christmas dinner after a morning of work was just not on the table this year. Luckily, Blue Taj was open on Christmas day, offering a full menu of Indian goodness. We started our meal off with a mixed grill appetizer which included lamb, shrimp, beef, pork, and chicken two ways. It was very tasty, though a little scant for the price. However, dinner itself was superb. Our waiter asked us our preference on level of heat--mild, medium, hot, or India hot. We weren't up to India hot, but my saag paneer was nicely medium spiced and creamy. My husband went a level hotter with the lamb kadai, which had lots of fresh vegetables and as the name would suggest, succulent lamb. The garlic naan was buttery and toothsome, and we got a big bowl of rice for the table. Gulab jamun for dessert--there were only two, but they were really good. There was a bit of a wait for the food between each course, but it was Christmas day, and the tables were all filled, so that was likely the reason. We plan to go back.
