I'm always on the lookout for unique restaurants and Taj serves up Central Asian cuisine which is quite a rare find. I guess the closest comparison is Uyghur food which I have tried.
The place is in a very forgettable plaza and the small signage means you won't know its a restaurant unless you have very good eye sight! I guess this is what you call a hidden gem. Inside the décor is very unique. Of all the restaurants I've been too, I've never seen this type of rectangular table/chair set. Their choice of chinaware is also very stylish. The décor makes you feel like you are in a different country.
The food itself was good. My only complaint is the grease level. We had the plov, lamb manti, a soup, and added lamb skewers. I think the soup was small for the price but the flavor was excellent. That piece of lamb in the soup was amazing. The plov was extremely oily, but the rice and the lamb were very flavorful. That's what I call the perfect lamb. The lamb skewers were also excellent. The manti were giant and full of lamb meat. Also very flavorful. This is a good place to go if you love lamb.
Prices were fair given the type of food. I'd definitely do the plov again despite the grease but would try their other dishes. If I have to nitpick, there is a bit of gamey lamb taste, and this can bother some people. The aftertaste stayed in my mouth for quite a while.
