| - Thanks to the cable guy being a guest in our home until 8 pm last night, we missed the Yelp event. So in an attempt to undo also missing a previous event at Taj Mahal, we decided to come here.
Typical strip mall restaurant with minimal decor, but it was clean and pleasant. It surprised me to see a bar off to the side and India's version of MTV on the overhead television. There was only one other diner in the restaurant-good for me, bad for them.
We started with the garlic cauliflower. Loved it! For my appetizer I went with the ever popular chicken tikka masala...chicken, onion, and bell pepper in a tomato based sauce. You can choose heat level up to 10. I prefer spicy, but mild dishes with just a hint of heat. Ordering a 1 fit the bill. The garlic naan was probably the best I have had of the 3 or 4 places I have been to. For dessert we had gulab gamun, fried cheese balls soaked in sugar syrup. I had never had this before, so I have no basis of comparison, but I didn't really like it. I guess I expected it to to be cheesier and crispier and to be served hot (it was warm). Oh well, can't win 'em all.
Our service was great. I would have been disappointed had it been anything less with no one else in the restaurant for most of the meal. I can see Taj Mahal being a somewhat regular stop on our rotation. They just need some more customers...well when we're not there anyway.
